Cadent Houses and The Regularness of Life

“It’s like the fuckin regularness of everyday life is too had for me” - Christopher Motlisanti

Cadent houses are tricky. I would label myself a bit of a Cadent Queen as I have at least one planet hovering within houses 3,6,9, and 12 and honestly, it’s a delicate dance. Cadent houses are where the mundane aspects of life that require repetition, dedication, commitment and integration come into focus. Mastering the Cadent Houses in your chart is what manifesting your reality and the fruits of the reality being manifested are all about.

Cadent houses have a lot to do with learning, practice, immediate environments and people, places and things that are “regular” in our lives. House 3 is our most immediate environment specifically from the beginning of life. This is our local environment, cousins, siblings, the first start of your interaction in the world. Many of us grew up with siblings or cousins as extended family members and as such, learned a lot from the experiences of being around them. The third house is the house of primary experiences and this can also represent how you interact with new information. Another way to understand house 3 is how you wake up in the morning. Some of us immediately head to the gym while others of us may lay around or read a book.

House 6 is more complex. Often coined the house of errands, this is what we can come to count on daily. Transits to this house can even come with frustrating inconveniences to what we have grown accustomed to expecting.This is an extension from the third house and also can represent who we are around within our locale. The world we deal with enters focus so, coworkers, neighbors and even roommates are represented here. Health is a major influence in this house and ties in how the mundane can affect our health along with the daily habits we perform. This is a task focused house and planets here can show how tasks go being completed (or incomplete) based on planets that reside here.

House 9 is where we start to recognize the bigger picture of what house 3 brings into focus. Naturally with its opposition to the energy of the 3rd house, we consider what the little things accumulate to.House 9 is about values and commitments, wisdom, long term journeys and mentors or people of high position. This is a house of transformation just as house 12 is in many ways. It’s house of tangibility. Planets here may show us our “grand prize” if we keep going. As house 9 also rules publishing, its often what the public might get to see from you as a result of your efforts as well.

House 12 is where all the cadent houses converge into one place and shows us where we land inwardly. It’s where we choose “this or that” because this is the house of integration. In a perfect world, we are integrating properly based on the needs being addressed within house 3,6, and 9 and there is a power that comes along with it. Worst case scenario for this house is that all the things you don’t do become exactly what you subconsciously ends up lacking inwardly,. Planets in house 12 can either become our heroes or our villains, The opposition between the 6th house and the 12th house is most about how what we consciously do over and over again can become our unconscious undoing. The person who rarely moves their body daily likely doesn’t process their inner most thoughts either. Not only will they probably develop physical health problems from the lack of movement but, they’re probably emotionally stunted in ways as well and if we really believe that the spiritual and the physical; interact then, it could be a spiritual issue that causes lack of movement that has resulted in an ongoing health issue. The 12th house holds so many of our secrets and they are just for us so often that we exist with them silently and learn to cope with them instead of becoming healed for them. The interesting this is often, people feel the energy of the 12th house from us even if they can’t articulate what it means for them.

The regularness of life is the perfect quote to describe cadent houses because, thats what most of our lives consist of. I am a 6th house moon ruled by my 5th house Venus and if I don’t start my day giving attention to myself in some capacity I am not my best self. I can sometimes become moody which other people can pick up on and I don’t always share my emotions which can lead me to keeping my deepest feelings bottled up and takes me out of step with my body. There are so many little things to consider when it comes to how I navigate through my day especially with my particularities that if I do not do them for an extended period of time, I see and feel the difference within myself. I have fixed sign cadent houses which also impact me from needing to I let go of my natural stubbornness to make space for thriving. We all have the ability to change our reality whenever we want if we choose to take the time to examine what that requires out of the regularness of our lives. Sometimes changing our morning routine can open our minds and help us find the missing link.. Of course sometimes life happens in such a way that requires us to reshape things before we think we are ready or even before we really want to but, we owe it to ourselves. If we consider what we do regularly as a form of what integrates deeply into our subconscious, do we like what we set ourselves up for? Do we like what our dreams show us? Do we like the place our mind quietly goes to every time there is a change that happens without our permission? These start with us.

Resources are yet another shared tie between Cadent houses. The local environment and your siblings/cousins are resources to you just as your coworkers and neighbors can be. Our mentors and education and ability to connect with-ourselves and other sentient beings is a natural resource. There is help if you need it to get things completed which is great!. I sometimes teach clients through the lens of the American school system. House 3 is said to be primary school, house 6 high school, house 9 college and house 12 is where we land our doctorate. If we use this as an indicator for what we believe ourselves to be capable of what does this inform us about ourselves and the world we create around us?

Take a look at your own cadent houses. If you could write a short story about yourself based on the way they exists within your world, do you like where you would be receiving your doctorate from? The world will see it, whether you want them to or not.

Live well yall!
