Cadent Houses in Astrology- Know the Details

The Horoscope of an individual is divided into four quadrants. This is as told before in the last article on Angular Houses. Each quadrant starts with an Angular House, followed by a Succedent House, and then ends with a Cadent House. As a result, Cadent Houses are generally considered to be less effective.
