Houses-are-signs doctrine
A term from astrology, defined plainly — and shown in context in your chart.
Definition
The position that house and sign are not separate layers. Each numbered house carries the natural-rulership energy of its corresponding sign (1st = Aries-energy, 2nd = Taurus-energy, etc.) at the structural level, with the actual sign occupying the house providing tone overlay.
