How do houses move in the chart?
The houses don’t appear to move in a birth chart. They are fixed and the planets and signs move through them.
But, the position of planets and signs within the houses depend on our Earth’s 24-hour rotation around its own axis (whereas the wheel of the zodiac depends on the sun’s yearly revolution around our Earth, along the ecliptic)
How many degrees is each house/sign?
30 degrees
