Zodiac 101

[pjburkshire]

I would like to learn about astrology so I can have a better understanding of the Zodiac pages in the Voynich Manuscript.  I know Zodiac "Sign" is based on date of birth but I am clueless about Zodiac "Houses" and Zodiac "Stations" and a lot of other terms.  Can anyone point me to a good (free) online source to learn astrology/zodiac that is based on historical beliefs and not mysticism leaning?

I know the Zodiac "Sign" is based on date of birth, where the sun is at the time of birth.  Gives temperament, motivations, strengths, etc.

I believe Zodiac "House" adds time of day and place of birth.  I'm still confused about the 12 "Houses".  No idea about Zodiac "Stations".  How were "Houses" and "Stations" generally illustrated in the early 15th century?

Each of the circles of Quire 9, f67r1 and f67r2 has 12 sections.  I wonder if these could be the 12 Zodiac "Houses".  I don't know why they would put "Houses" in Quire 9 before the "Signs".

Or, maybe the "baskets" the nymphs are in on the regular Zodiac "Sign" pages are Zodiac "Houses" but they don't line up to 12.  Not all Zodiac nymphs are in "baskets".  Nymph in a "basket" or not in a "basket" must have some meaning.
