Houses in Astrology

In Astrology each house has a meaning,

There are 12 houses.

More than 1 planet can be in a house.

One or more of your houses, may not have any planets in them. 

If the house sits empty, it just means that this area of your life does not have to be focused on, as much as the occupied houses.
