In the picture above, you see a zodiac wheel I just drew. The house numbers are either circled or have a square around them, and they’re fairly easy to see if you look at the wheel (1-12).
Inside the house numbers are the degrees of the houses. The first house is 0-30 degree, the second is 30-60 degrees, the third is 60-90 degrees, and so on.
If you go back to the first house and towards the outer edge of the wheel, you’ll see the number 12. If you follow that 12 into the second house, you’ll see 24, 36 in the third, and so on. I used multiples of 12 to number the houses also, and if you look closely you’ll see the numbering stops in the 6th house with 360.
That means, getting to the multiple of 360, we went around the zodiac 2 full times and 6 signs (2 1/2 times), because 30×12=360.
After analyzing this wheel:
I saw a numerological pattern in the houses.
Sign Qualities: Cardinal, Fixed, and Mutable.
If you use numerology (add and reduce to a single digit) you’ll realize the numbers 12, 156, and 300 in the first house can be added and reduced to 3. The numbers in the second house 24, 168, and 312 can be added and reduced to 6, and the numbers in the third house can be added and reduced to 9. This pattern repeats again every third house, where the next cardinal sign is.
It looks like this:
House 1- Cardinal 3 House 4- Cardinal 3 House 7- Cardinal 3 House 10- Cardinal 3
House 2- Fixed 6 House 5- Fixed 6 House 8- Fixed 6 House 11- Fixed 6
House 3- Mutable 9 House 6- Mutable 9 House 9- Mutable 9 House 12- Mutable 9
What’s interesting about this is that not only can the numbers be assigned to the signs by quality, but they can be assigned by house type as well.
Angular Houses 1, 4, 7, 10 3 Aries/Fire, Cancer/Water, Libra/Air, Capricorn/Earth
Cadent Houses 2, 5, 8, 11 6 Taurus/Earth, Leo/Sun, Scorpio/Water, Aquarius/Air
Succedent Houses 3, 6, 9, 12 9 Gemini/Air, Virgo/Earth, Sagittarius/Fire, Pisces/Water
Biblically, the numbers 3, 6, and 9 are defined this way.
3- Divine completeness, Perfection
6- Weakness of man, Satan, Manifestation of Sin
9-Divine Completeness from the Father, Fruit of the Spirit
The biblical definitions of these numbers fit perfectly, and I’ll explain why.
The number 3 is Divine completeness and perfection. The angular houses 1, 4, 7, and 10 are ruled by Cardinal Signs. Those Cardinal signs are the hinge points, or the turning point for our seasons. Aries represents the Spring, Cancer represents the Summer, Libra represents the Fall, and Capricorn the Winter.
6 represents the weakness of man, Satan, and the manifestation of sin, and oh, how interesting it is to see the houses represented by the number 6. The 2nd house is money and possessions, the 5th represents sex and short term pleasures, the 8th house is death, other people’s property and money, and legacies, and the 11th house is dreams, hopes and wishes, and the future. These are the weaknesses of man.
9 represents completeness from the Father, and Fruit of the spirit, and in terms of seasons, the cadent houses represent the end of our seasons. The summer, for example, begins in Cancer/June (3), and then it’s Leo/July (6), and finally, Virgo/August (9). The end of the seasons represents a time of reaping what we’ve sown, contemplating on what we’ve learned, and gathering in general. The end of the seasons represent the fruits of our labor, or the fruits of the spirit.
