Does anyone actually pay attention to their houses

And by that, I mean house positions. I was never really one to give them a second glance, but after yesterday, I've been a little more interested. I'm a fairly calm person (for whatever reason), and I never really had an answer as to why except that I learned patience over time and happened to have really high tolerance for a lot of things. VirgoKing said to me, "I know you have a lot of libra in your chart and you love peace..." Well, the thing is, I DON'T have libra in my chart. But I jokingly said to myself that I sounded like a libra even though I have no air placements. Well, I went to look back at my chart, and instead of looking at the main planets, i looked at my houses. I have libra in the third house which controls social and intellectual learning, and it has a high degree rate. The better description is:
She looks for refined people, with whom to have long discussions, without raised voices of any kind. Harmony and peace is very important. In early life, she worried that her siblings were getting along.



That describes me a lot. While I already knew that I hated confrontation and arguments, it was still pretty accurate.
So, does anyone else look at their houses (which pertain to specific areas rather than as a whole like the planets) and notice things about themselves that are described by these placements?
I've started to pay attention, I wish I would've paid attention sooner.
In asking this question and using the word "actually" it makes it sound as if people don't really do it, and the houses are just there, for nobody to actually look at.

Do you even realize you are on an astrology forum?

Or, did you think it wasn't "actually" about astrology?
It's not like I didn't know they weren't part of astrology. I just never really took them into consideration. Up until I actually joined this sight, I didn't even know about my chart. So while I was still understanding my planetary positions, I overlooked the houses because I didn't really understand them yet. But looking at them the other day, they started to make sense. And since I don't see a lot of discussion about the houses on this forum, I wanted to know if people really took them into consideration like the planets -shrug-
didn't used to, but i've started to. my sun is 3rd decan (mercury decan) libra in the 3rd house (associated with mercury), while my mercury is nearby also in the 3rd house conjunct pluto in scorpio.
and of course, as a libra, i'm pretty scared about having an empty 7th house, but then i learned that it could also mean that i don't have any 7th house hangups to work on, so i'm hoping that's the truth.
i still don't understand the houses part as well as i'd like to.
