The houses are not “energies” like the elements or planets, nor do they color the expression of energies like the zodiac signs do. The houses are where these energies are most likely to manifest. So, the houses are the fields of experience, not the experience themselves. The most important houses are the 1st, 4th, 7th, and 10th houses. The Moon in the houses interpretation is important to realize our emotions and instincts.
