The material for THE TWELVE ASTROLOGICAL HOUSES: The Way of
Creative Accomplishment, was written in 1943-44, immediately
following THE ZODIAC as THE UNIVERSAL MATRIX. Like its companion
book, it is one of Rudhyar's most accessible and easy-to-read
works. It provides comprehensive descriptions of each of the ten
astrological planets in each of the twelve astrological houses. In
common with THE UNIVERSAL MATRIX, the astrological interpretations
are more striking, psychological and critical than what we came to
expect from Rudhyar during the second half of the 20th century. The
electronic publication includes hyperlinks to the birth charts of
dozens of interesting example nativities.
Some sample passages from THE TWELVE ASTROLOGICAL HOUSES
"Every personality is the child of an individual vision
(Ascendant) and of a set of collective habits (second house),
Rudhyar writes. The great person is one who uses such habits to
demonstrate the vision - and thereby repolarizes them. The weak
personality lets collective habits use the vision which thereby
becomes distorted and materialized. Every personality is a field of
integration for individual vision (first house) and collective
habits (second house) - our inner life is very often a battlefield
It is in the third house that the issue . . . is determined; for it
is the quality of the person's environment and of his mentality
(largely conditioned by education) which will decide in the third
house whether the fourth house factors (ego, home, and so on) will
be energized preponderantly either by those developed in the first
house or those belonging to the second house."
PLANETS IN THE FIFTH HOUSE
"When a strong planet or a group of planets are located in the
fifth house of a natal chart this does not mean the native will
necessarily be a particularly gifted artist, or a great lover, or
the progenitor of many children, and so on. It indicates, rather,
that matters related to this house will be insistently the focal
point for the person's attention. The native will be involved in
fifth house issues and experiences by apparent choice or by
compulsion . . . They will create problems which will demand a
solution.
Problems however constitute opportunities for growth and for
'creative accomplishment' - thus the title of this series. Where
there are no problems, the mind and will of the individual are not
roused into operation . . ."
MOON IN THE ELEVENTH HOUSE
"The Moon in the eleventh house signifies a person highly
sensitive to social moods and changes, who is often the mouthpiece
of some great mass-movement seeking expression in a subterranean
manner. The spiritual-occult systems proclaimed by Rudolph Steiner
are much involved in personalized states of consciousness and
dependent on personal 'revelations'. Indeed, it might be argued the
'revelations' of the seer could merely be projections of his
collective, national and personal 'hopes and wishes' and fears and
prejudices, rather than authentic and significantly interpreted
revelations of spiritual realities. The traditional chart of Joan
of Arc shows Moon conjunct Jupiter in the eleventh house - indeed
an excellent symbol for one whose "Voices" saved a Kingdom . . ."

This pioneering classic provides a new dimension in the use of
Astrology as a powerful tool in understanding life patterns. "The
Lunation Cycle" is a unique technical breakthrough revealing the
significance of the cyclic relationship of the Sun and Moon as
phases of a larger process. Rudhyar formulates and describes here
for the fist time, the eight Soli Lunar types of personalities and
the importance of the "New Moon Before Birth" and the "Progressed
New Moon charts". Rudhyar's innovative presentation of the
"Progressed Lunation Cycle" is an invaluable technique providing
insight into how to use all life events in the actualisation of
inner potentials. The meaning of specific events are viewed as an
ordered series of Lunation phases, within the context of your whole
life pattern, from birth to death. This is a practical and clear
way to anticipate major turning points and transition periods and
to understand our individual schedules of unfoldment. This
groundbreaking book includes: The Sun and Moon as a Dynamic Pattern
of Relationship; The Part of Fortune as an Index of Personality and
Happiness; The Part of Fortune in the Houses and Zodiacal Signs;
The Part of Spirit; The Planets in Relationship to the Lunation
Cycle.

THE ZODIAC as THE UNIVERSAL MATRIX is not only one of Rudhyar's
most accessible and easy-to-read books, it is also the only book in
which Rudhyar provides comprehensive descriptions of each of the
ten astrological planets in each of the twelve signs of the zodiac;
and the descriptions themselves are more striking, psychological
and critical than what we came to expect from Rudhyar during the
second half of the 20th century. Written during 1942, it uses the
birth charts of many world leaders of the time as examples.
The premise of THE UNIVERSAL MATRIX is significant and intriguing,
for in it Rudhyar attributes substantive and causal qualities to
the zodiac. In the work, Rudhyar describes the zodiac (the
Universal Matrix) as a substantive "electromagnetic field" of
"zodiacal influence" which is permanently anchored to the earth,
the "emanations" of which "beat constantly upon us." Yet such
statements, which might surprise some readers familiar with
Rudhyar's astrological work, is actually consistent with his
lifelong metaphysics. Indeed, the basic concept of fields
enveloping the planet and human beings is of ancient origin, and it
is an integral part of Theosophy, from which Rudhyar largely drew
his metaphysical underpinnings.
Here's some sample descriptions:
MARS IN LEO
"When the Leo-type of energies . . . are activated by the forceful
and outgoing planet Mars, fireworks may be expected. This produces
a colorful personality, or at least a strong will to dominate . . .
There is an intense urge toward dramatic self-expression; and, when
concrete materials for self-expression or for personal show are not
available, the person is likely to use imaginary materials."
MERCURY IN LIBRA
"In a negative sense, Mercury in Libra reveals a frivolous,
butterfly mentality; and also a social urge which is more a matter
of intellectual attitudes than one of deep realizations. Mental
pride and sensitiveness to social criticism may be in evidence; or
an extreme subservience of the mental life to social or cultural
traditions."
VENUS IN GEMINI
"When Gemini forces are illumined by the presence of Venus,
experiences and sensations are valued mostly for the meaning which
can be derived from them . . . Thus the person with such a natal
configuration may pass from experience to experience, from human
contact to more human contacts simply to provide food for the
development of her sense of value and her quality of emotional
response. . . . They are like the 'kisses' given to the flowers by
the bee; all that the bee wants is honey. . . . It is better not to
become attached to persons with a natal Venus in Gemini, if one
wants lasting happiness; but an intimate (though brief) contact
with them should be revealing and stimulating, for they are artists
in expression and 'catalytic agents' for growth."
MARS IN CANCER
"This is a rather unsatisfactory position for Mars, because this
planet symbolizes all outgoings and Cancer is a field for the
activity of concentrating and indrawing forces. Thus either Mars in
Cancer is not allowed to operate with any degree of power by a
number of inhibiting influences, or else the energy of Mars is
thrust into a work which is not congenial . . . In the former case
the person born with Mars in Cancer demonstrates a weak capacity
for action and for initiative, great moodiness, irritability or
so-called 'artistic' temperament. In the second alternative he
tends to act with aggressive selfishness; he makes unreasonable
demands upon others . . . loses his sense of proportion and makes a
show of himself and his personal problems."
