Planets in houses

You have to consult your birth chart to learn the house positions of the planets.

A planet by its house location is a keynote data reference. It marks for a not-conscious desire-urge (planet) that’s associated with a department of life (house) and the association produces events.

The planets by their house positions reveal how your character was formatted by experience and the influence that your local environment is having on your character. Think about that.

Your character is inextricably intertwined with your local environment.

A planet in a house associates a dynamic thought-cell group with a department of life. It indicates where the thought-cell activity is taking place – its field of expression – and its working to attract events. These events are destined to play a key role in your life story and character development.

The life-matters, activities and people ruled by a house where a planet is located are stimuli that set the thought-cell activity mapped by the planet in motion. Events that occur contribute to your intelligence and ability development.

The planets by their house positions indicate the types of conditions that can be anticipated in each department of life.

With one, two or three planets in house the nature of the event differs.

The planets by their house locations allow you to predict your behavior in a specified environmental setting.

Each planet places its signature on the life-matters, activities and social relationships associated with the house it occupies. 

The influence is more pronounced if the planet has above average astrodyne power and is not affected by its harmony or discord.

The same influence, to less degree, applies to the department of life where the planet is located due to its cusp or intercepted sign rulership.

In regard to your prominent/active houses you’re considering (1) a planet in the house; (2) a planet that rules the sign on its cusp; and (3) a planet that rules an intercepted sign. Each planet indicates thought-cell desires that are influencing events associated with the life-matters ruled by the house.

When there are several planets in or influencing a house their astrodyne power scores measure their relative level of influence.

Real-life evidence reveals the extent of the influence.
