In a horoscope, the twelve houses represent the various arenas of an individual's life. A cusp is that degree where one house begins and another ends. Cusps are represented by the lines in your chart which separate it into sections. The sign found on each cusp rules the house that follows. Planets found within a house govern the affairs of that house. When a house contains no planets, the planet ruling the sign on the cusp then governs that house's affairs. The following list describes the most important of the many areas of life that each house rules.
