The third house represents our environment. The fourth house represents our foundations. The fifth house represents our expressiveness. The sixth house represents our balance. The seventh house represents relationships. The eighth house represents our sexuality. The ninth house represents our moralities. The tenth house represents career. The eleventh house represents social life. The twelfth house represents our fears.
