The Twelve houses- Dynamic & Planets
Natural Rulerships and Exaltations of planets in the houses
Your mars sign or any other planet can gather strength from being in certain houses, for instance Aries rules the first houses and Mars. If Mars is in the first house, itâs at home. At rulership. In a similar fashion, Venus is exalted in the 12th houses.Â
Groupings- The Three GroupsÂ
The houses are divided in three groups in which they all have a meaning and characterize together.Â
Angular houses- This consist of the first house, fourth house, seventh houses, and tenth house (cardinal signs)
Succedent houses- This consist of the second house, fifth house, eighth house, and eleventh house (fixed signs)Â
Cadent Houses- This consist of the third house, sixth house, ninth house, and twelfth house (mutable signs)  Â
House of Life- This consist of the first house, the fifth house, and the ninth house (Houses all ruled by fire sign). Also known as the âFire houses: The Trinity of Spiritâ
Planets in these house dictate our attitude towards life.Â
Houses of Wealth- This consist of the second house, sixth house, and tenth house (Houses all ruled by earth signs). Also known as the âEarth houses: The Trinity of MatterâÂ
Planets in the these houses affect your attitude towards profession, career ambitions, and the capacity to produce effective results.
Houses of Relationships- The third house, seventh house, and eleventh house (Houses all ruled by air signs), Also known as the âAir houses: The Trinity of RelationshipsâÂ
Planets in these houses affect your interests, friendships/relationships, Â verbal expression, and your social life.
Houses of Endings- The fourth house, eighth house, and twelfth house (Houses all ruled by water signs) Also known as the âWater houses: The Trinity of Soulâ
Planets in these houses affect your emotional tendencies, how your fulfill those needs, and how greatly you live in a private way.Â
Southern Hemisphere (Collective Houses)- Houses 7-12. These houses rise above the horizon (top half of chart) and are mostly have the connection with others, contrasting to the personal houses. They somehow click and intertwine with society or even one other individual. If you have many planes on this side, you may extroverted.
Northern Hemisphere (Personal Houses)- Houses 1-6. These houses fall below the horizon (bottom half of chart) and are mostly directed and concerned with the development of an individual and their identity. These houses mostly pertain to yourself. If you have many planets on this side, you may be introverted.Â
Eastern hemisphere- Houses 10, 11, 12, 1, 2 and 3. These houses are the left side of the horizon (left side of chart). If you have many planets here, you maybe are independent, focusing on your own needs and desires. You like to be in control in the way that you mold your surroundings, and usually donât ask others for help.Â
Western hemisphere- Houses 9, 8, 7, 6, 5 and 4. These houses are on the right side of the horizon (right side of chart). If you have many planets here, your associations with other people are a big part of your life. Even if itâs romantic associations or platonic. Youâre influenced easily by other people and can be co-dependent, but you do great with team work.Â
Quadrant 1 consist of houses 1-3; Self-developmentÂ
When you have lots of planets in this quadrant, self-discovery is important to you.Â
Quadrant 2 consist of houses 4-6; Self-expressionÂ
When you have lots of planets in this quadrant, you have the need to express yourself creatively and for people to respond to it. Itâs energy that needs to shine outwardly.Â

Quadrant 4 consist of houses 10-12; Self-TranscendenceÂ
When you have lots of planets in this quadrant, youâre independent, focused, and ambitious. You may want to make a change to society.Â
Planets in the Houses (General affect)Â
Most of this connects to mythology that is shown with one of my post I linked below for Mercury, I could write a post for each but to cut it down:
Sun- The house it is in indicates where you need to distinguish yourself. To stand out and shine, just like the way the sun does in the sky. It shows where you need to expand and develop, the house it is in shows where youâll go through obstacles. Wherever Leo intercepts, cusps a house, or rules a house, plays a similar role. Whichever house Leo rules in your chart, will connect to the house your sun is placed in.Â
Pertaining to my last sentence, an example of this (which you can use to understand the rest of this article) is Will Smith who has his sun in the 3rd, with Leo ruling his first house. Maybe he shows his communicative nature to the world with his voice. Thatâs how he shines and built his identity (1st house) while being able to verbally express himself (3rd and creative nature of the Sun). Thatâs what people identify him and know him for. Thatâs how the other planets work as well for future reference.Â
Moon- The house it is in indicates the area of life where you may be sensitive and responsive towards other people, their needs and influences. Itâs where we are easily affected and where your values, expectations, and standards from family come from. Itâs where we go to retreat and recharge. Thatâs where you become the role of the mother, and look for comfort and belonging. For instance the moon in the eleventh house will show how strongly bonded youâll be towards friends. Itâs where youâre most emotional and affected; therefore also the area where your messy emotions come out. Wherever Cancer intercepts, cusps a house, or rules a house plays a similar role. Whichever house Cancer rules in your chart, will connect to the house your moon is in.Â
Mercury- I did a whole article/post based off the influences of Mercury here. To add, the house it is in shows where we are restless and curious. Itâs where we stay externally youthful (just like Hermes). It shows where youâre adaptable and changeable, or even fickle. Something really interesting when looking at the chart of a fixed sign. It shows where we can corner ourselves or connect with others well, how we understand others and ourselves better. Wherever Gemini intercepts, cusps a house, or rules a house is where youâre restless and the area in life where youâre hard to pin down. Or even how others find you difficult to understand at times. Wherever Virgo intercepts, cusps a house, or rules a house is where youâre precise and critical. Whichever house Gemini and Virgo rules in your chart, will connect to the house your Mercury is in.Â
Venus-Â The house it is indicates the area of life where you get a sense of peace and satisfaction. Itâs where we feel pleased and please others, showing our best style and consideration of others. Venus also has a dark side, so itâs also where we suffer from disappointment or where we feel obligated to do something to make ourself or the world feel more beautiful or pleasing. Itâs where we may feel envy or rivalry, even where we use seduction. The placement of Venus is where suffer or go through a degree of pain in order to maintain balance or harmony when you step too far. Wherever Taurus intercepts, cusps a house, or rules a house is where we seek to fulfill desires towards appetites of food, sex, security and/or comfort. Wherever Libra intercepts, cusps a house, or rules a house is where we want to fulfill the romantic approach of love, fairness, and the good or truth in life. Whichever house Libra and Taurus rules in your chart, will connect to the house your Venus is in.Â
Mars- The house it is in indicates the area of life where you have a form of aggression or assertiveness. It shows where we need to take risk and and attack life. The area where we need to take our freedom, be independent and daring. The area in life where you have pent up aggression that forms into violence, heavy passion, and a sense of competitiveness. Wherever Aries intercepts, cusps a house, or rules a house plays a similar role. Perhaps Scorpio too as itâs the co-ruler of this sign but I donât think the affect will be too profound compared to Aries, as itâs only the co-ruler. Whichever house Aries (perhaps Scorpio) rules in your chart, will connect to the house your Mars is placed in.
Jupiter- The house it is indicates the area of life where we need lots of space to grow and expand, where we want to experience life more fully and passionately. Since Jupiter does things in abundance, itâs the area of life where we sometimes overdo it. Itâs where you can start something and leave the project uncompleted. If Jupiter is badly aspected, it can indicate you start something with bad judgment. Itâs where you will feel safe and have positive feelings, often excelling greatly in that area of life. It doesnât mean you wonât have a shaky road but youâll be on your feet. The house it is in is where youâll want to find some sort of truth. The house it is in, is the area that gives us inspiration to go on with life, to find positivity. Wherever Sagittarius intercepts, cusps a house, or rules a house plays a similar role. Perhaps even Pisces as it used to be the co-ruler of Pisces, but perhaps the affect wonât be as profound. Whichever house Sagittarius (possibly Pisces) rules in your chart, will connect to the house your Jupiter is placed in.Â
Saturn- Keep in mind that wherever Saturn is in, has some sort of restriction. It isnât easy. The house it is in indicates where we restrict ourselves and donât allow ourselves to be free, where we worry to make the wrong move. Youâll have difficulty mastering that area in your life, therefore when you do, youâll be wise in that area of life (the house it rules). Itâs where we need to grow. The house it is in is where youâll be cautious, responsible, and tactful. Wherever Capricorn intercepts, cusps a house, or rules a house plays a similar role. Perhaps even Aquarius as it used to be the co-ruler of this sign, but perhaps the affect wonât be as profound.  Whichever house Capricorn (possibly Aquarius) rules in your chart, will connect to the house your Saturn is placed in.Â
Uranus- The house it is in indicates where we are truly original, we donât give intro tradition here. The code is broken. Itâs where we will manifest great ideas but once put in production, we feel as if it isnât good or does not turn out well. The house it is placed in is where we can be resentful or have never ending anger, fury. It can be bitter, because thatâs the area where we blame others for our sorrow. Itâs where we discover new trends and even break the rules to do so. Itâs where we need truth and freedom, because we feel repressed in the house it is in. Wherever Aquarius intercepts, cusps a house, or rules a house plays a similar role. Whichever house Aquarius rules in your chart, will connect to the house your Uranus is placed in.
Neptune- The house it is in indicates where we, without meaning to, set up circumstances where we have to give up our personal wants and desires. Itâs where you get a taste of heaven and perhaps where we escape for comfort. This is the place where you look for a savior or to be the savior, to be saved or to save. The house it is in is where you see something greater or higher, Itâs where we feel greater. On the other hand its where you can feel confused by the illusion this planet gives. Itâs where we fall apart and come back together in another way, a beautiful way. Wherever Pisces intercepts, cusps a house, or rules a house plays a similar role. Whichever house Pisces rules in your chart, will connect to the house your Neptune is placed in.
Pluto- The house it is in indicates where we have to meet and face what is rotten in us. The house where we discover our dark side and where our strong passions reside, the obsessions, lust, and every emotion Pluto touches. The dangerously good and the blissfuly bad. Itâs even where our wounds or pain is. Pluto is destructive so it isnât easy, but then later you blossom with life. Itâs the area of life that we repress and shouldnât. Itâs where we gain knowledge about ourselves after being stripped down (destroyed) and then rebuild. Thereâs complexity and intrigue in whichever house it is in. We can obsessively protect ourselves in that house and therefore may go through unnecessary precautions to do so. By acknowledging and indulging in it other than hiding, you gain your greatest strengths. Wherever Scorpio intercepts, cusps a house, or rules a house plays a similar role. Whichever house Scorpio rules in your chart, will connect to the house your Pluto is placed in.Â
Keep in mind, you may have to look at multiple houses for the planet if this applies to you
