To me it`s mostly a combination of all of these. But lately I find I am especially inclined to put more weight to the aspects, for different reasons,t wo being that a) aspects stay relatively stable throughout the charts (even if you change the point of reference, like Draconic, sidereal chart etc. - at least within those charts, overlays betweewn tropical and Draconic for example will give different results of course, which is also a great tool to interprete, but I disgress).
and b) astrology was basically born from the observation of the sky, and what we see, and what is evident during astronomical events like eclipses etc, are certain aspect-configurations between planets.
Signs and houses, are delivering the background, the backdrop against which or the glasses through which we perceive those celestial events/ aspects. In so far they are of course important, as my glasses might show me a different perspective than yours.
So I guess I am back to what I originally said. I see it as a combination. But it is the aspects that show us the "action", the "What is happening" (or if something is happening even). Just with houses and signs, we could also do some asessment of a personality profile, but it would remain static, and that does not align with my experience of how people are. While there is a certain "solid personality core", our life is determined by changes and especially by interconnecting with our environment (that is where the aspects come into play, and frankly, the progressions and transits).
