Chapter 76: Celestial Houses & Modifiers

[Reminder: This is just a lore dump Chapter. You can skip it if you’d like. It’s not relevant to the story, but if you truly want to nerd out and understand the magic system of the novel, I advise to read it.]

She finally got her hands on the paper.

The first subject? Celestial Houses.

Ah, the perfect opportunity to flex some astrology knowledge.

In the Natal Birth Chart, there were twelve houses.

Each one was ruled by a different zodiac and corresponding to a specific life domain.

These ruling zodiacs also brought upon the influence of their planets, which impacted the individual’s magic.

"Alright, let’s dive in," she muttered to herself, scanning the first question.

"The First House..."

She already knew this one.

The First House (House of Self) was ruled by Aries. It’s all about identity, self-image, and how you express yourself to the world.

It’s your personality’s outer shell, how people see you, and how you approach life.

Basically, it’s all about first impressions, personal growth, and kicking things off on the right foot.

"But also... war and conflict..." she added to herself, remembering the trickier details.

Mars, the planet of war, obviously ruled the First House. That meant it also boosted aggression and offensive spells.

Not bad.

She scribbled her answer down with confidence. That’s one point for the stars.

She moved on to the next question.

"Second House..."

She grinned. Taurus. This one was a no-brainer.

The Second House (House of Possessions) ruled by Taurus was all about material possessions, values, and self-worth.

It’s where you think about your resources. What you have, what you value, and how you handle your wealth and security.

Venus ruled this house too, and Venus wasn’t just about material things.

It was about beauty, charm, and pleasure.

"Venus. House of Beauty & Charm," she mused. "Strengthens enchantments and charisma-based magic... that’s handy."

She continued, her pen moving swiftly across the paper as she expanded her answer.

"The Third House..."

This one was ruled by Gemini, and it governed communication, learning, and the mind.

It also covered siblings, neighbors, and short-distance travel.

"Ah, Mercury," she noted. The planet of intellect, ruled this house.

It wasn’t just about quick wits, though. Mercury also amplified speed, which, in this case, meant spellcasting speed and mental agility.

Perfect for boosting spell precision and your ability to process magical information quickly.

"Let’s not forget about that mental speed boost," she wrote down, underlining the important parts.

She moved to the next question.

"The Fourth House..." she whispered.

The Fourth House (House of Home and Family) was ruled by Cancer. It was all about roots and emotional security. The Moon ruled this house, amplifying magic tied to emotions, nurturing, and protection.

"This is just connected to the influence of the moon rising influence," she wrote, keeping it simple.

She glanced at the next question.

"The Fifth House..."

The Fifth House (House of Creativity and Pleasure) was ruled by Leo. It’s all about self-expression, romance, and creativity. The Sun ruled here, enhancing charisma, passion, and creative power.

"The Sixth House..."

The Sixth House (House of Health and Service) was ruled by Virgo. It governs work, daily routines, and health. Mercury influences this house, bringing focus to organization, healing, and practicality.

"Boosts healing or support magic," she wrote, feeling more confident.

"The Seventh House..."

The Seventh House (House of Partnerships) was ruled by Libra. It represents relationships, marriage, and partnerships. Venus, the planet of love and beauty, influences this house, emphasizing harmony, balance, and cooperation.

"Enhances charm, negotiation, and bonding spells..."

The Eighth House.

The Eighth House (House of Transformation) was ruled by Scorpio. It deals with death, rebirth, inheritance, and shared resources. It governs deep emotional transformations, intimacy, and the hidden aspects of life.

"Pluto unlocks hidden or forbidden magic," Verena wrote, her fingers pausing for a moment, considering the darker nature of this house. "Definitely not a house for the faint-hearted."

"The Ninth House..."

The Ninth House (House of Philosophy) is ruled by Sagittarius. It governs higher education, spirituality, travel, and expansion of knowledge. It’s all about seeking truth and exploring the world, whether through travel, philosophy, or learning new ideas.

It was also ruled by Jupiter.

Jupiter (House of Luck & Expansion) → Expands magic range & amplifies abilities.

"The Tenth House..."

The Tenth House (House of Career) is ruled by Capricorn. It governs ambition, career, public image, and life goals. This house is all about how you’re seen by the world and the legacy you leave behind. It’s about structure, discipline, and building your future.

She added, "Saturn (House of Discipline & Restriction) → Strengthens defensive magic but slows growth."

"30 minutes left!" Professor Sirius bellowed, making everyone jump in panic.

Beside her, Beatrice was sitting there with a grin on her face, like she just solved world peace or something.

Her paper was filled with answers, and she was practically vibrating with excitement.

Verena rolled her eyes.

She was about to lean over and ask Beatrice for a hint, but the thought of being accused of cheating, especially by that pesky Prefect, was enough to make her rethink.

Last time she got anywhere near that guy, she almost had a detention for just looking suspicious.

"The Eleventh House..."

The Eleventh House (House of Friendships & Dreams) is ruled by Aquarius. It’s all about community, groups, social networks, and future aspirations. It governs your hopes, dreams, and the people you surround yourself with. This house is about collective energy and making changes for the greater good.

"Uranus amplifies the unpredictable," Verena wrote. "Perfect for revolutionaries and rebels."

She added, "Uranus (House of Chaos & Change) → Creates unpredictable, rebellious magic."

Finally, the last one.

She hadn’t realized how much she’d been holding her breath, but here she was, on the final stretch.

Who knew her random snippets of astrology knowledge would actually come in handy?

She wasn’t exactly an astrology expert, but her friend back home swore by it and threw in a little spiritualism for good measure.

"The Twelfth House..."

She squinted at the paper, as if willing the answer to just pop out and save her.

The Twelfth House (House of the Subconscious & Mysticism) is ruled by Pisces. It’s all about secrets, hidden truths, introspection, and spirituality.

This house represents everything that lies beneath the surface. The unconscious mind, fears, and the mysteries of life. It’s connected to your deeper emotional world and your connection to the unseen.

"Neptune’s influence here brings the fog of dreams," Verena wrote. "Perfect for illusions and intuition."

She added, "Neptune (House of Illusions & Dreams) → Heightens intuitive and psychic abilities, often blurring the lines between reality and fantasy."

FINALLY, IT’S OVER!
