House as place of work ?

Could House be a little obtuse here and it could mean stability generally? something that brings you stability?

I know what you mean - I sometimes see it as *safe* ("safe house")

Maybe work is where you're most "at home"?

Or a real-estate agent.

Sorry, I missed you first time !

yes, it does have that feeling of the known/familiar to it . And real-estate would work too !

The original 1846 meaning was: "House means success and prosperity in all enterprises. Even when the present situation of the person is unfortunate, they can expect a better future. If this card is located in the middle of the game, under the person, this is a hint to be on their guard regarding those who surround them."

I don't see it being an "institution" unless it is a intimate, neighborhood one. House can indicate a small shop, office building, school, etc. While Tower would be a large building, department store, mall, university, or corporate or govertnment offices, etc.

The kind of house, property, surroundings, etc. is primarily described by other cards or implied by the question.

For instance, "Where should I set up my business?" House: in your home or a small building. However, surrounding cards will be of most importance indicating what kind of house, building or surroundings.
