The Sun

The position of the Sun by house (that is, the house that the Sun occupies in the birth chart) reveals an
area of life where we need to feel special. It is where we feel the need to distinguish ourselves from others.
The Sun is an active, rather than reactive, force. As such, we can effect changes in the affairs ruled by the house
of our Sun. In fact, in order to find happiness and direction in our lives, we must recognize that we identify with
the areas of life ruled by this house. We need to shine in some way in these life matters! We cannot ignore these
house matterswe need to take purposeful action here.
So, if the Sun is in the 6th house, we must recognize that being of service to others, such as through daily work,
is vitally important to our identity. Taking action to find our niche in terms of the work or service we do will
contribute much to our sense of self-worth and esteem.
Now, we must also be careful to avoid over-identifying with the affairs of the house our Sun occupies. Our ego
may be over-developed in these areas, and our pride easily bruised. In our example of Sun in the 6th house,
negative expression of this position may be a tendency to over-identify with our work; to feel useless when we
are not working; to define ourselves in terms of the service we provide to others; to over-react to criticism of the
job we do; or to become engrossed in service at the cost of finding our true calling in life.

Sun in the 1st House

You identify strongly with the image you present to others. You make an impression on others you have
presence and you know it. You are self-conscious, although you may prefer to project a strong image. You
will feel at your best when you make a mark on the world, but avoid obsessing over what others think of you.
Accept that you need to be a leader or an innovator, and go for it, but be careful not to be overbearing with
others.
Alternate interpretation: With the Suns energy in the First House, your personality drive will find expression
mainly through personal issues related to self-image, physical appearance and personal interests. You are
required to acquire knowledge of self in order to sustain a true sense of identity, purpose and destiny. Strong
will-power and self-assurance add strength to your personality. Very brave, positive and competitive, you
develop natural leadership qualities. Your enterprising nature, with a capability for seizing opportunities is
another factor for success obstacles are overcome by sheer physical courage. You are to become selfdetermined and self-sufficient, carving your own path in life. Your enthusiasm for life may manifest as robust
health and vitality. There may be some tendency to pride and insolence at times. From the Character Profile.

Sun in the 2nd House:

You take pride in what you own, and have a strong drive for security. You have staying power, and you hate to
let others down once youve made a promise. Avoid over-identifying with what you have. Concentrate on
proving your worth through your strong value system and your incredible ability to stick with things and with
people. Take pride in the solid and secure foundations that you build, as well as the lasting relationships you aim
to maintain, while being careful to avoid possessiveness.
Alternate Interpretation: With the Suns energy in the Second House, your personality drive will mainly be
directed into the creation of personal wealth, with an emphasis on financial security. A strong desire for material
possessions is a dominant motivating factor in your life. You are very sensible with money and, unless very
careless, should always be comfortably off. From the Character Profile.

Sun in the 3rd House:

You need activity and a change of scenery often, or you feel restless. You take pride in your mental agility and
your friendships. You are able to adapt quite easily to whatever environment youre in. There is a strong need to
communicate your knowledge to others and to learn. Your curiosity is endless. Take pride in your intellectual or
communicative abilities without feeling the need to lord it over others or to always be in the know.
Alternate Interpretation: You get off to a fast start in life. You expect to be good at what you do. You see
competency as primarily a matter of experience, and you set out to gather a broad understanding of people, your
environment and life in your early years. The natural lines of growth in life show that you concentrate on
communication and learning as your self-picture develops. From the In-Depth Profile report.

Sun in the 4th House:

You invest much of your pride and energy into your personal and private life, your home, and your family.
Privacy is important to you. You are naturally protective of your family, including your heritage, and of your
personal life. Avoid being defensive as you work to build a secure foundation for yourself and the people you
love.
Alternate Interpretation: You plan for the long run as part of your basic strategy in life. Your life improves
with age because your real personality emerges more and more as you get older. You are interested in having
your basic attachments and emotional interests taken care of before focusing your attention on anything else.
Once this foundation is established you put your energy into satisfying your need for worldly fulfillment.
Because you expect life to improve it generally does. From the In-Depth Profile report.

Sun in the 5th House:

You want to be noticed for your unique and special qualities and your creativity. You are happiest when you are
expressing yourself in a special way and attention comes your way as a result. You have a flair for drama and/or

sports. You are proud of your fun-loving attitude towards life. As you demonstrate your ability to shine, avoid
grabbing center stage all of the time. Your happy disposition is enough to get noticed, but do find creative ways
to express yourself, as this is the path to true happiness for you.
Alternate Interpretation: With the Suns energy in the Fifth House, your personality drive may express itself
through adventurous and perhaps speculative ventures. An inner restlessness craves an outlet through social,
romantic, and daring action. Pleasure and amusement play an important role in your search for freedom of selfexpression. The love motive may also be strong. The overriding need is for creative expression of your personal
powers and abilities. This could be through leadership, art, sport, entertainment, New Age ventures or the use of
modern technology. In this search you will cover a lot of ground and a wide range of interests. Children may
play an important role in some way. From the Character Profile.

Sun in the 6th House:

The work that you do, and the services that you offer, are very important to your sense of identity. In order to
feel good about yourself, you need to be busy with daily activities and to produce work you can be proud of.
Focus on finding a suitable and rewarding avenue for expressing this part of you, being extra careful to choose
an occupation in which you can express yourself. You are sensitive to criticism about the work you do, and you
work best when you can create your own schedule. Positive feedback for the services you render is important to
you, but be careful not to over-identify with the appreciation you receive from others, as your work and your
health suffers when you feel under-appreciated. Motivation to do a good job should come from within.
Alternate Interpretation: With the Suns energy in the Sixth House, your vital forces may be drawn into some
form of service that will bring deep personal satisfaction. Hard work and challenging situations are certainly
indicated probably within the work environment itself. You seek perfection and distinction in you work and
this quality could bring you well-paid, responsible positions. Crisis situations will develop, but you meet these
with steady determination. The Sun in this house also indicates a need to overcome some weakness. Often this
relates to health matters. From the Character Profile.

Sun in the 7th House:

You take pride in your ability to negotiate, and to establish harmony in your relationships. It is important to you
to have a partner, as you feel incomplete without one. You are motivated to become well-liked, and you are
especially sensitive to rejection. One of the lessons in your life may be to avoid putting harmony and others
opinions of you above your own needs. Use your social skills and seek out peaceful relations with others, but
try not to over-identify with your partnerships and the way you are received by others.
Alternate Interpretation: You are interested in relationships and you do better in life when you undertake tasks
with others rather than pursue them alone. You love to share and you give yourself in great measure to your
partner. You must learn not to put your objectives aside just because of your compliant nature. You will be
successful with the associations that you form and also with people in general thanks to your good manners and
charm.

This astrological position suggests eventual success in marriage. You should not hurry yourself nor let
impatience get the better of you; the union will reach the promised success when you both have matured. You
will choose an authoritative, strong and capable partner of whom you feel proud.
You are likely to win every judgment or legal litigation in which you find yourself involved. From the Adult
Report.

Sun in the 8th House:

You have a great urge to go farther or deeper into life every step of the way. You want to experience more, and
your desires are both powerful and intense. It is hard for you to find satisfaction in common experiences, and
you have magnetic power if you choose to use it wisely. You are fascinated with what lies under the surface, and
at some point in your life, self-improvement is a big interest. You are attracted to unexplored or taboo areas of
life, and you avoid all things superficial.
Alternate Interpretation: Your feelings run deep so there is a need for attunement with your inner self. You may
sometimes feel that you are destinys plaything and will try to discover hidden parts of yourself through
investigating the mysteries or take an interest in occult or metaphysical studies. As you increase your
knowledge, you will recognize a compelling demand for constant change to promote your spiritual growth. This
is often presented by material lessons to which you must adjust. In conforming, be prepared to relinquish some
part of your life so that you may experience a rebirth on a higher level. Interpretation from the Spirit
Success report.

Sun in the 9th House:

You have a deep need to understand the world around you. You have high ideals and you have your eye on
whats on the horizon. You are looking ahead, and at times can seem quite restless. You are proud of your
knowledge and of your morals. Be sure to avoid self-righteousness in your enthusiasm to share your knowledge.
When used correctly, you are a tolerant, adventurous, and curious person, and you want to see the best in people
and in life.
Alternate Interpretation: Your thirst for learning extends beyond the classroom. You acquire much of your
knowledge from people of different cultures or in foreign lands. You probably have a flair for languages,
making you valuable as a translator. It is possible you will earn more than one academic degree, and function as
a teacher. One of your most admirable qualities is that, by touching the lives of others, you will come to
understand that all men are brothers, separated only by self-imposed restrictions. Share your wisdom to
overcome prejudice and the bigotry which impedes the spiritual growth of all. Interpretation from the Spirit
Success report.

Sun in the 10th House:

The urge to work toward a goal, for success and accomplishment, and/or for power is part of your make-up. You
are uncomfortable in any position in which you must take orders from someone else. Recognize your
ambitions and your need for authority without going overboard. Seek out a career that allows you to manage,
rather than be managed, if possible. It is crucial that you accept the part of you that is ambitious, but take pains
not to over-identify with an image that is not really you!
Alternate Interpretation: You have a great capacity to lead others and to excel as a professional. You will put a
lot of energy into your work and you will have a brilliant career. You will always be in the public eye and will
enjoy great renown. If your work is in politics or any leadership position, you will be successful.
You will show a lot of pride, arrogance and ambition in the material sense. You can not conceive of a fulfilling
life that shows no improvement in your lot; your father figure influences you to elevate yourself. You will be
able to transcend your initial social position to achieve status and recognition and you will feel very satisfied. In
general you are competitive and authoritative.
In the future you will find an extraordinary partner with a good social position with whom to share your life. It
will not be easy to please you and you will never resign yourself to settle for someone you do not consider
worthy. From the Adult Report.

Sun in the 11th House:

You are a humanitarian who aims to treat everyone as equals. You seek to be unique and original, and you do
your best to avoid bias and prejudice. Social status is less important to you than belonging to a group of diverse
personalities. Your identity, in fact, is somehow linked to a larger unit than yourself. You have high hopes and
goals, and tend to look at life in terms of opportunities. You have magnetic appeal, as people sense your broad
tolerance and openness. The friendships you establish are crucial to your development. If you identify too much
with your friendships and your friendliness, you may become too impersonal and alienate those who would like
to get close to you.
Alternate Interpretation: You are everybodys friend, but not always a friend to everybody. You often value
friendship above love and may choose to keep your friends for a lifetime. Quick to bond, you may be equally
quick to separate from a relationship when it appears you have nothing in common. You will doubtless find a
place in a variety of social and service clubs, and hold more than one office. You adapt easily and fit into almost
any group because you know how to get the most out of a situation, refuse to compromise your ideals, and
maintain harmony by finding values to which all can relate. Interpretation from the Spirit Success report.

Sun in the 12th House:

You have a tendency to be introspective and need some space and seclusion in order to pull up your strength.
You may avoid the spotlight, and if you do find yourself in a public role, you tend to hide your true self behind
that role! Because your will is directed inwards, you need to find a path for yourself that allows you to get
away from it all at least some of the time. Honor your need to be alone with yourself, but avoid overidentifying with your inner world to the point that you truly feel alone in a crowd. You shine when you serve

others in some way. Your compassion sets you apart from others, but try to work with it rather than let your
compassion work against you by reinforcing your own sense of loneliness.
Alternate Interpretation: Some view this placement as the result of a misuse of power in past lives, because you
are unduly hard on yourself. Your over-active mind is impressionable. You may become a square peg in a round
hole if you wear the mask of others as your own. You require periods of seclusion for rest and self-examination,
because you question why no-one understands you. If you seek counseling, you may become a counselor to
help others avoid the pain of your experiences. You, too, are deserving. Acknowledge that if you are your own
worst enemy, you can be your own best friend. Interpretation from the Spirit Success report.

Note that the Sun is more comfortable in some houses than it is in others. For example, the Suns energy
seeks to distinguish oneself as a separate identity. It feels very much at home in the fifth house which is its
natural domain. In the twelfth, however, it is not as comfy-cozy! The twelfth house energy attempts to dissolve
ego boundaries. The Sun is very personal, while the twelfth house is universal. The Sun represents the
individual ego, and the twelfth house represents the collective. As such, the Sun in the twelfth house position is
more complicated, both to live with and to interpret, than the Sun in the fifth house.
The Moon
The Moon in the houses can reveal where and how we go about seeking emotional
satisfaction. Important clues to the reason for perpetual emotional unrest can be found
through the study of the house position of the Moon, and these take the form of constant
changes or ups and downs in the areas of life ruled by the house. It is in these areas that we
should aim to make deep attachments rather than superficial and temporary emotional
thrills if we are seeking out a true feeling of belonging and emotional fulfillment.
Moon in the 1st House
Your feelings are right out there for everyone to see, and you can come across as emotional and impatient, or
nurturing and caring (or both). Your first reaction is emotional, especially if the Moon is in close proximity
(within ten degrees) of the Ascendant degree. You need emotional stimulation, movement, and freedom to
express yourself in order to feel happy and fulfilled. Your moods are very changeable, and this can be quite
obvious to others. Because of your emotional sensitivity, you might often take things too personally, and react
too quickly. Developing an awareness that others emotions are just as important, even if they are not as overt
and immediate as yours, will be important.
*You have a soft exterior and tend to relate very personally and sympathetically to other people. However, you
sometimes let your emotions overpower your reasoning and logic, and consequently you are sometimes biased
in your opinions. You are impressionable and rather gentle, or at least that is the way you appear. Your feelings
are on the surface and you can not hide your emotions.
Moon in the 2nd House
When it comes to money, you can be generous and frivolous in your spending habits one day, and frugal the
next. You can be quite afraid of being in debt, and need to feel that the bills are paid in order to feel secure and

safe. This is likely also true of savings, as you fear being without. Still, there are times when you can spend
impulsively, on a whim, and this is likely when you are feeling emotionally frustrated. You might also hold onto
people quite tightly. Vanity can be an issue. You are often looking for admiration, and you can be quite
dependent on others for positive feedback until you learn to develop your own feelings of self-worth. Youre not
as emotionally responsive as most people. You tend to hold back and wait before expressing yourself, and when
you do it is with deliberation.
*You are likely to be a great collector of things a real pack rat in fact for your belongings give you a sense
of security and continuity with the past, which is important to you. Antiques or things with sentimental value
from your past are especially dear to you.
You may also cling rather tightly to both money and possessions, keeping them in the family rather than
sharing freely with those outside of your immediate circle.
Moon in the 3rd House
You are very responsive, communicative, and curious. You can have a talent for imitating others and/or for
picking up languages. You might either intellectualize your emotions rather than truly feel them and deal with
them, or you communicate with excessive emotion. Some of you may do both at different times, and as you
mature and develop, you learn to find a balance. Your opinions and ideas change often, and you might find that
sometimes you adopt others points of view and express their ideas as if they were your own. This is not
necessarily because you are a copy-cat, but because you sometimes fail to own your own thoughts, and you are
so very sensitive to others opinions. You might be quite nervous and restless, requiring frequent changes of
scenery, even if the movement or travel takes place locally.
*You often make decisions solely for emotional or personal reasons, because something feels right or because
youve always done it a certain way and you are uncomfortable changing it. Even when you think youre being
rational, your prejudices, intuitions, and feelings influence your thoughts a great deal. You are comfortable
talking about feelings and personal subjects, and sharing confidences, which enables others to express their own
inner feelings with you as well. You have good psychological insight into others.
Moon in the 4th House
You long for a sense of true belonging, but you may be quite restless in your search. You might change
residence frequently, or simply feel the need to make many changes in your home. Moving frequently may be a
healthy thing if it keeps you emotionally stimulated, but if you find that you do so on whims and later regret the
changes, you might want to treat it as a symptom of emotional unrestas a sign that you are in a constant search
for the perfect mood and setting, when in fact a feeling of belonging should be worked on from the inside out,
not the outside in! Some of you might remain rather immature on an emotional level, never wanting to truly
grow up and take care of yourself. Attachments to your past, traditions, and family are strong.
*You have strong attachments to your past, the place where you grew up, your heritage, and family traditions. In
fact, you may be unable to step out of the habits and roles you learned as a child. Your tie to your mother is very
strong and you also seek mothering and protection from your spouse and other family members as well.
Moon in the 5th House
You love to share emotional experiences with loved ones and have a flair for the dramatic. Love affairs are
magnetic and intense, and you dont take them lightly by any means, although you may go through much
change with regard to your romances. You are attached to children, whether theyre your own or not. Your

creative hobbies are subject to relatively frequent changes, and you have innate artistic talent. You have a vivid
imagination and are given to daydreaming often. There is a sense that you are always in touch, or trying to get
in touch, with your inner child. If the Moon is challenged, you may have problems with impulsive shopping or
gambling, or with frequent love affairs that never fully satisfy you. In any of these cases, you are more attached
to the game than the player, and this is something to work on if you are looking to find true fulfillment. You
might take risks just for the fun of it, but in the process, you are being irresponsible to others and to yourself.
*You are emotionally expressive and often dramatize your feelings, acting them out or blowing them out of
proportion. You can not hide your instinctive emotional reactions to people or situations, and you dont make
any pretenses about your personal sympathies or antipathies.
You have a childlike openness and playfulness which is very appealing to others, but which sometimes gets you
into trouble, as you take risks on impulse or whim.
Moon in the 6th House
You have an emotional need to be useful, to work productively, to be organized and on top of things, and to lead
a healthy life. If these matters are chaotic in your life, its a symptom of emotional unrest. You need a lot of
variety on the jobto be stimulated and engaged in order to feel happy. Some of you might seem to change jobs
often, forever in search of the perfect fit job. Acceptance that any job requires some level of routine is hard
for you. You are very sensitive, and especially aware of minor health annoyances or body aches and pains.
Some of you have hypochondriac symptoms. Some attempt to get out of things they dont want to do by
emphasizing health problems or even exaggerate illnesses in order to gain sympathy. At your best, however,
youre a person who always helps out and shows your affection for others in practical ways in order to help
them solve problems and improve their lives.
*You have a sympathetic nature and instinctively reach out to people in need of help. You also have a deeply
ingrained tendency to want to improve or fix other peoples lives, which can be annoying to the person who
has no desire to be changed or helped in this way. For you, affection and caring must be expressed in tangible
acts or service of some kind.
Moon in the 7th House
You are drawn to partnerships and prefer to have a companion for emotional support. You are not a person who
would happily take in a movie by yourself, or dine alone, for example. A partner awakens feelings in you that
you may never know you had, and you seem to need a partner to learn about your own needs and feelings.
Emotional fulfillment is sought through relationships, but you may have many relationships one after another,
each time believing that this is the one. Taking time between relationships is something that is hard for you to
do, but quite necessary, as you tend to jump into relationships out of fear of being alone. You are very adaptable
to others needs, and usually quite likeable as a result. Be careful that you dont become overly dependent on a
partner, or assume that a partner is going to treat you the same way as you do them.
*You depend a great deal upon other people for emotional support and you have a large family of friends that
care about you and treat you as kin. The women in your life are particularly important to you, and your
relationship with them powerfully influences your sense of security and happiness. You may be overly
dependent and unsure of yourself without a close partner.
Moon in the 8th House

While you have a strong need for emotional security, you are also a person who is drawn to pushing your own
limits, and many lifestyle changes can be the result of this need to challenge, or reinvent, yourself emotionally.
You are always fascinated with how people work, taboos, secrets, and all that is forbidden or hidden. Sexual
unrest, or an apparent need to constantly change sexual partners or to challenge yourself sexually, may be a
symptom of emotional insecurity. Connecting with another person intimately is an emotional need, but your
changeable emotions might often get in the way of your goal. Jealousy and possessiveness might also be
qualities you struggle with. At your best, however, you are a person who is intimate, deep, and intensely loyal to
a partner.
*Though you want closeness very much, you often close yourself off and do not really trust others who may
wish to get to know you. You are very wholehearted in your feelings and responses to people, and you want all
or nothing from the people you care for.
Moon in the 9th House
This is a position that can indicate a deep longing for stimulation above and beyond the everyday, mundane
routine. You are a philosophical sort, interested and curious about the world, other people, and perhaps different
cultures. You can be extremely restless and discontented if you dont have a definite goal in mind. You might
find yourself longing to be somewhere else when you are unhappy, imagining that if you were to move or
travel, you would be much happier. However, this attitude can only keep you from enjoying and improving
upon the situation you are now in, only serving to make you feel more unhappy in the present and with your
current circumstances. Trying to avoid the attitude that the grass is greener on the other side will be important,
while attending to your needs to get away from time to time will help scratch the seemingly incurable itch for
something more.
*You may have done extensive traveling in your early years, or in some way had a background which enables
you to understand and identify with many different types of people or cultures.
You have a craving for things which are far away and foreign or for things you have never experienced before.
You want to completely immerse yourself in the feelings and tastes of a new place, rather than simply have facts
or an intellectual appreciation. Emotionally, too, you are restless and something of a wanderer.
Moon in the 10th House
This position of the Moon indicates an emotional need for recognition, popularity, acknowledgement, and
achievement. You can be quite charismatic. You are at your emotional best when you lead a structured and
responsible life, but it can take time to get there. You may change your goals and ambitions, and/or your
profession frequently in an attempt to find the perfect fit. You may worry about living up to your image, or the
expectations of your family. Decisions may be too emotionally biased, or you might act on emotional whims far
too often. Learning to set your own heartfelt goals is the challenge here, as it is unlikely you will find true
happiness if you follow or adopt the expectations of others, which you are especially sensitive to.
*You work well with the public and have an instinct for what the public wants and will respond to. Having a
nest is not especially important to you, and you may invest more of your emotional energy into your career or
public life than in your private life. Providing for and caring for others in a professional capacity is very likely.
Moon in the 11th House
This position of the Moon indicates an emotional need for a feeling of belonging with, and support from, friends
and associations with groups. You look to acquaintances for support, and offer the same in return. A changeable

or unstable social life might be a reflection of inner emotional unrest. Waxing and waning feelings for others
can cause problems in your relationships. You are a person who is filled with many dreams, wishes, and hopes
for your future, and most of these are altruistic and good-hearted desires. However, you might change your
aspirations frequently, with your changing moods, and have a hard time settling on goals
to work towards as a result.
*You get a lot of emotional fulfillment through your involvement in groups, clubs,
organizations, community activities, or a network of close friends who support and care
for you. You make friends your family, and feel a close kinship with people who share
some ideals or beliefs that you hold dear. You need people outside of your physical family
to relate to and belong to.
Moon in the 12th House
This position of the Moon indicates an emotional attachment and sensitivity to all that is ethereal, groundless,
and eternal. As sensitive as you are, you often have delayed reactions to your own emotional experiences. You
need frequent moments of solitude in order to recharge yourself emotionally, and this need, while strong, can
also lead to feelings of isolation and of being misunderstood. While you are a perceptive person, you are often
either flooded with emotions that are hard to define, or completely out of touch with what you are feeling.
Either extreme keeps you from truly discovering your emotional needs. Negative expressions of this position
are avoidance of responsibility, using hypersensitivity as an excuse to oneself (and perhaps to others) for not
participating, or emotional immaturity. You are sympathetic to others suffering, but not always emotionally
available to help.
*Your own feelings and emotions are something of an enigma to you, and it is often difficult for you to share
with others what you are feeling. You frequently withdraw from contact with the world, and need a healing,
peaceful environment in order to blossom and come out of yourself. You identify with the oppressed,
disenfranchised or underdog in any situation and want to help them or care for them in some way.

Mercury

Mercury in the 1st House


You are mercurial in appearance or manner, especially if Mercury is close to (within 10 degrees of) the
Ascendant. You are restless, adaptable, changeable, easily distracted, versatile, and nimble. You enjoy talking
but might often monopolize the conversation or fail to listen (you might be too busy thinking about what you
will say next to truly listen). You have a mischievous and even precocious manner. Lively and interesting, you
quickly adapt to new situations. In fact, you treat most new endeavors with curiosity and great interest. Your
first reaction to new stimuli is logical and curious rather than emotional.
Mercury in the 2nd House
You have a very practical mind and intelligence, seeing the obvious, most logical answer to any predicament
often well before others. You dont like to be put on the spot or pushed into talking or coming to a conclusion.
Studies are similaryou need to work at your own pace. You can be quite one-track minded at times, not very

happy with multi-tasking, and often quite fixed in your opinions. Sensual stimuli is more relevant to you than
abstract concepts.
Mercury in the 3rd House
This is an especially curious and inquisitive position for Mercury. You are generally very interested in reading,
teaching, speaking, exchanging ideas, keeping current with the daily news, and perhaps gossiping. Your
interests are many and varied, sometimes to the point that you barely skim the surface of any one topic. You are
also very easily distracted and your attention span can be quite short. Quick to learn, you are also swift to share
what you know with others. You can be very talkative when you have the chance. You can be a list maker, and
often are quite involved in your community. Some of you can be quite nervous or fidgety.
Mercury in the 4th House
You are an extremely imaginative person who dreams up all sorts of unusual ideas and plans. Your thinking is
quite subjective, and in some cases narrow or biased. Some of you might enjoy working at home or keeping a
lively, intellectual atmosphere in your home. You tend to retain a lot of information, and are usually quite
interested in history, psychology, or politics. You are not quick to embrace a new idea or plan, and can be quite
traditional in your thinking.
Mercury in the 5th House
You tend to use your voice, whether written or spoken, as a means of creative self-expression. You can be witty
and humorous, an engaging communicator, and a fun friend. You love playing games, especially ones that
employ your intellect. You love tricks, jokes, plays on words, and mimicry. You might be skilled at
impersonations. Some of you could be clever at lying. You might have a tendency to promise more than you can
deliver, or overstate your case. In some way, you are very entertaining with the spoken and/or written word.
Communication and intellectual rapport is most attractive to you when it comes to romance. In some cases, this
can indicate more than one lover at once. Curiosity can be a strong motivator for making social and romantic
contact. You might also take much pride in your childrens intellectual abilities and talents. You would make a
good teacher, as you are very curious about how people learn and can come up with many ideas that allow you
to teach others creatively.
Mercury in the 6th House
You are a person who thinks of all the details that others often forget. Your mind is almost always turned on
which can make you a little nervous. You are excellent at sorting things out, organizing, and making lists and
associations. With your attention to the details and the mechanics, however, you might miss the bigger point!
You are exceptionally helpful and others can count on you for making arrangements, researching, and offering
advice. You truly love to feel useful. You might have some traits of a hypochondriac, as you notice all of the
little aches and pains that others might overlook. Nervous tension could be at the root of many of your health
complaints. You might frequently have to deal with duplicitous co-workers. Many of you are good at crafts,
mechanics, or anything that requires good manual dexterity.
Mercury in the 7th House
You have a great love of debate, if only to get closer to your own thoughts and opinions. Bouncing ideas off
others helps you to make a decision, although coming to definite conclusions can be painfully difficult for you.
You see the other side of the coin. You might often play devils advocate. Communication with a partner is
craved, and you also love an audience for your own thoughts and opinions, but preferably a one-person

audience, as you come alive verbally when its one-on-one. You can be quite skilled at keeping a partnership
animated and alive with interesting tidbits, new ideas, and stimulating conversation. You can easily become
bored in partnership if the lines of communication go down, even temporarily. You might attract partners who
are not especially sincere or downright duplicitous. In order to put an end to this pattern, you might try to avoid
scheming and overanalyzing in your relationships. You might also love to talk about and analyze relationships
and marriage. You get off on new perspectives that partners or good friends give you.
Mercury in the 8th House
You are especially curious about what motivates people, as well as all that is mysterious, taboo, secret, and
psychological. You are excellent at analyzing people and getting at their motivations, as well as developing
strategies. You may have a good mind for finances, medicine, and other subjects that require research and
investigation. You speak with authority and others listen, having strong persuasive powers which should be used
carefully. You tend to feel that everything we do and experience has a purpose. You have a great, investigative,
and penetrating mind and you are excellent at developing strategies, as well as communicating them with
others.
Mercury in the 9th House
You are eternally curious and hunger for knowledge. You enjoy studying and learning, and do it not because you
have to, but because you want to. You enjoy exchanging ideas and personal philosophies with others. You can
be especially buoyant, enthusiastic, and even inspiring in your communications. While you may not pay enough
attention to details, you are skilled at finding a quick solution to problems. You readily see the bigger picture
and enjoy sharing your opinions and ideas. You get off on how information affects peoples lives, and you take
great pleasure in learning that something you have shared or taught has inspired others to take action,
experience something new, or make changes in their lives. Some of you might be too quick to offer advice,
however, that might be lacking in thoroughness and practicality, or that you yourself dont follow. You may be
especially interested in learning about different cultures and lands.
Mercury in the 10th House
You are good with language, and generally use this talent in your profession. You can have an authoritative air
about you, or you are talented at communicating and negotiating with those in authority. You might have more
than one job going at once much of the time, you could change your career directions frequently, or you could
be attracted to jobs that keep you on the move. You require frequent changes of setting or activities in order to
remain stimulated and challenged. You are skilled at bringing fresh energy to your conversations or to your job,
perhaps because you need the stimulation.
Mercury in the 11th House

attracted to people who bring new ideas into your experience, and who have something novel to contribute on
an intellectual level. You are very forward-looking and fair-minded. Fair play, impartiality, and unselfishness are
important ideals for you. There can be many changes or fluctuations in your personal wishes, dreams, plans, and
ideals. You might attract friends who come and go, or who are dishonest or duplicitous.
Mercury in the 12th House
You are not very quick to speak or communicate, especially in childhood, as you need to develop trust in your
own abilities to express yourself. You make an excellent confidanteyou are very discreet and secrets go into

the vault. You might make matters too complex by overanalyzing motives or hunches, and then
have problems acting on your intuition as a result. You are very attracted to symbols, sentiment,
imagery, and paradoxes. You prefer not to focus on facts and learn best when ideas are presented
visually, emotionally, or imaginatively. Learning to communicate clearly is a challenge for you,
but one that might put an end to feelings of guilt, of being misunderstood, and to attracting unpleasant situations
or duplicitous people into your experience.

Venus

Venus in the 1st House


You are a likeable, magnetic, attractive, and charming person whose heart is often on your sleeve. Unless Venus
is very challenged, you are easy to befriend, diplomatic, and warm in self-expression. You tend to attract others
to you quite readily, and rarely come on too strong or aggressively. Negative expressions of this position include
a superficial charm, a tendency to play dumb when challenged or in doubt, and two-faced, passive-aggressive
behavior. The need to be liked by others, and/or to keep the peace, might lead to feelings of resentment or
general unrest if you feel that you give up your own power to others. You might find it difficult to make solid
decisions. Your personal sense of style and manner are things that others find fascinating, and you generally pay
great attention to how these things benefit you in life.
!With your natural charm and magnetic personality, you have a way of winning people over to your arguments.
You are probably physically attractive and will maintain this quality well into your later years. You have a deep
appreciation for art and enjoy surrounding yourself with beautiful objects. Your love life is very important to
you, and you feel a lack if you have no partner in your life. Your appetite for life and for love is hefty, and you
enjoy taking the initiative once you are comfortable with a partner. You are ever so charming and attractive, and
absolutely hard to miss, no matter what you look like. Your head and face are your most attractive features! This
is because your Venus is in the first house of Aries, a sign that rules this part of the body.
Venus in the 2nd House
Tangible expressions of love and affection are important to you. Your tastes are usually simply extravagant,
well-defined, strong, and something you are proud of. Some might feel you have a talent for finding items of
value and good taste. You are attracted to items of quality. You may use generosity for your own benefitin
other words, you might give gifts with expectation of reward. Some of you might be hedonistic and overly
attached to winning admiration from a partner, at the expense of discovering true love. Your neck and upper
chest are erogenous zones, and your voice is unusually attractive. You generally dont jump into a new
relationship. If you do, your feelings grow gradually. A partner who makes you feel safe and secure is ideal for
you. Once committed, your love is long lasting and sincere. You have strong values and others will find it hard
to sway you in this area. Sensual, the world of touch and smell is most appealing to you. Complex or mysterious
partners are not as intriguing to you as simple and genuine ones.
Venus in the 3rd House

You are verbally expressive, diplomatic, and aim to be tactful. You easily win others over with your words,
whether its because of a likeable facility with language, a beautiful voice, or a diplomatic use of words. You
readily give out compliments. Some of you might use flattery to your own benefit at the risk of being ingenuine.
You are generally a very good mediator, aiming to settle arguments quickly and restoring at least temporary
peace. You have a mischievous side, however, and your desire to be tactful and polite with others doesnt
always succeed. Some of you might engage in a lot of mind games, and others might eventually find out that
you dont always mean what you say or say what you mean! You value mental stimulation and frequent changes
of scenery in your love relationships.
Venus in the 4th House
You seek balance, beauty, harmony, and peace in your home and domestic life. You might be especially
attracted to luxury or quality/comfort items in the home, and you likely have an eye for interior decorating.
There is a loving, personal touch to the way you decorate your home. Your love is decidedly sentimental, and
you show your affection through nurturing and displays of sympathy. You dont give your heart out easily, but
when you do, you do it with great emotion. Its very easy for you to become attached to a partner, and possibly
smothering or overly dependent if you are not careful. Your parents marriage affects your own partnering skills
and style more than most. A parent may be especially charming, beautiful, or otherwise Venusian. On the
negative side, this parent may have been especially indulgent or overprotective with you.
Venus in the 5th House
!Interest in the opposite sex for you started young. Playful, sensual, and amorous, you are in love with love! You
thrive on romantic attention, and it is easy and natural for you to always have a crush or romantic interest. There
is a romantic, playful side to you that is unmistakable. It keeps you young at heart! You are sensuous and enjoy
indulging in the pleasurable senses to the fullest possible extent. You enjoy surrounding yourself with beautiful
art and music, and these may play a role in your ideal date scenario. There is a touch of the dramatic in you
when it comes to love and sex. You are generally quite loyal to your partner, and you are both charming and
easily charmed. Its also easy to turn your head. You are a warm, fun and playful date.
Venus in the 6th House
Your expressions of love and affection are practical and helpful. Being of service to a partner is especially
important to you. In fact, you might go to great lengths to be available at all costs to a loved one. While you
may not be flowery or showy when it comes to expressing love, you show your love by your availability,
rendering services, doing practical things for a loved one, and other thoughtful little things. Many of you are
talented at design work, as you appreciate and pay much attention to all of the little parts that make up a whole,
with the goal of finding order and harmony in these systems. If you are not careful, you might pass up on true
love opportunities in favor of relationships that serve a practical purpose in your life, or out of fear that you
might not find better. Selling yourself short may be something that keeps you from going after what and who
you want.
Venus in the 7th House
You live for relationships. It is hard for you to think about being alone. Harmony is most important to you, so it
is unlikely you will attempt to dominate a lover. You are a peacemaker, sometimes going to great lengths to
achieve a balanced, harmonious relationship. Be careful not to bend over backwards just to keep the peaceyou
may be taken advantage of. Your marriage partner may be especially attractive, charming, or well off. You are
extremely attractive, agreeable, and charming, drawing others to you magnetically. You need an unusual amount
of contact and exchange with a partner, and might find that you feel completely lost without one. Some of you

might quickly enter into partnerships, perhaps too quickly and neither equipped nor prepared for the
responsibilities that a long-term relationship demands. In some cases, there can be a shallow or materialistic
interest in partners. Your hips and lower back may be special erogenous zones for you, or they may be
especially attractive body parts.
Venus in the 8th House
Intensity is what you seek in your love relationships, so that casual encounters are not necessarily your game.
You are easily bored with mechanical interactions between partners, and might prefer drama in your
relationships to anything mundane or superficial. However, you also fear being vulnerable in love, and, in
youth, you may control your emotions in love. Fears of being betrayed may be at the heart of your somewhat
jealous and possessive nature in love. When you give yourself over to love, you love wholeheartedly and expect
all-consuming, total devotion and attention in return. You find passion a healing force in your life. Your charm
runs deepjust below the surface. You are attracted to all that is taboo, hidden, forbidden, and find beauty in the
broken, disenchanted, obsessed, and passionate. In some cases, people with this position might make a business
out of love, romance, and eroticism. There is an intensity about you that others pick up readily. Either they run
or they are completely intrigued!
Venus in the 9th House
You are attracted to, or you tend to attract, people of different cultural backgrounds. You are attracted to a
partner with a sense of adventure. You are not especially clingy, and you expect a certain amount of freedom in
a partnership. You want to feel like you are growing as an individual, and you wont be happy in a relationship
that is restrictive or confining. In fact, you have a great love for the feeling of freedom or limitlessness. Your
hips and thighs may be especially attractive! You appreciate a lover who is enthusiastic and not afraid to have a
good time (with you!). You aspire to high ideals in love, but some of you might pursue sensations in love rather
than true or deep feelings and attachment. Beware of a tendency for dissatisfaction with what you have, as the
tendency to think that the grass is greener elsewhere can keep you from enjoying or developing what you
have.
Venus in the 10th House
Others tend to respect you for your charming manner, and you have many admirers, although some of these are
admirers from afar, as there is an aura about you that is charming yet strangely (and intriguingly) distant. You
have a great need to be recognized or admired for your charm, beauty, or loving manner, but should be careful
not to become too wrapped up in what others think of you, as you might come across as phony or superficial.
Some people with this position are married to their work or to their image. You are good at making contacts
and organizing social events.
Venus in the 11th House
The friendship level of your relationship needs to be genuine in order for you to sustain romantic interest. You
tend to focus on a persons unique qualities those traits that make him or her stand out as the most
attractive. Your relationships must possess some kind of unconventional element in order to keep your interest
levels high. Calves and ankles are either erogenous zones for you, or parts of your body that are particularly
attractive! You may meet lovers through group activities. Although you value friendships and group affiliations
highly, you might jump into friendships without considering the responsibilities they might entail.
Venus in the 12th House

You are big on romance and you tend to live and breathe your partner once youre hooked. Not the best at
defining your boundaries where your needs and your partners needs separate you can get hurt in love
rather easily. You can also feel used quite readily. You are attracted to people from all walks of life, finding a
partner who has an unusual background or quirky personality most attractive. Partners who mistake your
compassion for weakness can take advantage of you. Being openly affectionate and trusting often doesnt seem
safe to you. You may feel your love wont be appreciated or reciprocated. You may get involved in secret love
affairs or fall in love with a person who is quite unavailable to you at different points in your life. Love and
sacrifice often seem to go hand in hand for you having to give something up to be with the one you love, or
having to relinquish some person or some aspect of an important love relationship. You value a certain amount
of self-sacrifice and a giving attitude in a partner, as you embody these traits. You can be quite mysterious to
others, even if you dont mean to be, because your romantic needs are kept hidden. Although you are quite
naturally drawn to relationships that are unusual, secret, challenging, and unequal, do take the time to examine
why this may be the case. Be certain that you are not, in some way, punishing yourself because you dont feel
worthy of an equal and public relationship. Because Venus represents attraction, and the twelfth house is
associated with the feet, your feet may be especially attractive and/or erogenous zones

Mars

Mars in the 1st House


Your reactions to new situations are immediate and pressing. You are an active, energetic, dynamic,
enterprising, and possibly even forceful or aggressive person. You tend to begin new endeavors with gusto,
although follow-through is not necessarily indicated by this position alone. Some of you might be rash,
inconsiderate, or overly assertive. You can be fiercely independent, and you are usually direct and
straightforward. Spontaneity is extremely important to you. Some of you might stir up trouble, whether
consciously or unconsciously, when you are bored.
Mars in the 2nd House
You are likely to be a hard worker, although you appreciate the process and might be slower than some as you
focus on the method and tend to each step deliberately and carefully. You love to produce things of practical
value. You are ambitious when it comes to making money and acquiring possessions, but you might be
impatient or impulsive when it comes to spending. You can be quite possessive, both of material things and of
people. You like a physical challenge, and your physical abilities and energy make up a strong part of your
sense of self-worth. You like to work independently, or you value things most when you have achieved
something on your own. The world of the five senses is most important to you on sensual and sexual levels. You
have a hearty appetite with strong stamina. You defend your values fervently.
Sample from the KidZone report: This child with Mars in the second house will be of the slow and steady
variety. He/she will not like to be rushed. However, the attention span will be good and this child will plod
through and produce good, solid results.
This child will be very interested in amassing as much as possible. When these children see something that they
want, they will want it very much. And they will work hard to get it. He/she will probably be great at saving
pocket money, and will then buy their goodies independently. This child may insist on having complete control
over their spending power. They need to be taught early on to reject a sudden impulse to just go and get

whatever it is that they want. The solid and steady tag does not apply to acquiring assets. It should be
suggested that this child think things through, and to decide whether they truly do want something. Any
interference will be met with disdain, because he/she will have very set views. But because of the compulsive
nature of Mars, these kids are quite likely to be careless with money. This impulsiveness to own can become a
big problem. This child will have a very strong sense of ownership and anyone who challenges this will stir up a
real anger. This is a lesson better learned while young.
These children may not be absolutely selfish, but they will want to share only on their own terms, not because
they have to. If a brother or sister takes something without asking, this youngster will really blow up. And there
will be real fireworks if someone damages something of theirs. He/she may be careless, but no one else can be!
This will particularly apply to personal belongings. Help this child to learn to be less possessive. A possessive
attitude can cause toys and belongings to bring more pain than pleasure, keeping him/her from fully enjoying
them.
Mars in the 3rd House
You speak your mind quite readily, sometimes shooting from the hip when it comes to expressing your ideas
and opinions. You tend to know a lot about a variety of subjects, and like to share that knowledge with others
(sometimes too forcefully!). You are generally very direct and clear when it comes to communicating. You can
easily get worked up about what others might think are trivial matters. You love a good debate. Whether you
know it or not, or no matter your intentions, you can be provocative in your communication style. You are likely
gifted with manual dexterity, although you might easily become impatient with tasks. At your best, you are
enthusiastic, animated, and lively in the way you express yourself, and this can inspire others. You will fervently
defend your opinions and beliefs, as well as your family and childhood.
Sample from the Spirit Success report: You will have a lot to say on almost any subject, and can be really
informative, or merely disruptive. You may take a difference of opinion as a personal affront because of your
strong beliefs, but remember that someone else may have something important to contribute, so is worth
listening to. No one is better than you at presenting your ideas. As long as you remain confident, rather than
cocky, youll always find an audience to share your store of knowledge.
Mars in the 4th House
You are fiercely protective of your close friends and family. Anger may be deeply felt and possibly deeply
buried, and it can be very hard for others to uncover your true motives. You might be passive-aggressive in your
approach, which could lead to resentments if you are not careful or confident enough to take a more direct
approach to getting what you want. Family dynamics are lively and often intense. Regarding family members,
you may frequently have arguments with them, about them, or on their behalf! You might possess much energy
for domestic projects or activities. Your actions are often governed by your instincts, and you dont appreciate
being manipulated or forced into doing something that doesnt come from your gut. You might attempt to rule
the roost on the home front, or you often take on a leadership role at home and with family.
Mars in the 5th House
You have a strong love of pleasure, and you tend to directly and perhaps impulsively pursue romance. Many of
you are sports lovers, and anything with an element of risk appeals to you or entertains you. You put a lot of
energy into the pursuit of entertainment, satisfaction, games, and pleasure. You may be a very active hobbyist.
You tend to be very playful and demonstrative, and you could really enjoy putting on a show. You can be very
competitive. Your children may be especially active and boisterous.

Sample from the Spirit Success report: You are openly affectionate. Like an engaging puppy, you wheedle to
get your way. If an old slipper is torn in the process, you know youll be forgiven. You shine in physical-contact
sports. Your many friends admire you, but relationships suffer because you change partners often. Discipline is
a hard, but necessary task-master, if you are to grow beyond the child that is no longer charming, but becomes a
foolish adult, clinging to childish ways.
Mars in the 6th House
You tend to work hard, sometimes to the point of exhaustion! You put a lot of energy into your work, and would
do best working for yourself or for someone else but independently, as you can quickly become impatient if
other members of a team are not working as fast as you. You are also easily upset with procrastination. You can
be very skilled at organizing and re-organizing, sorting, classifying, and analyzing. You put a lot of energy into
any job you do, and you can easily become riled up or defensive if someone criticizes or intrudes upon the work
that you do.
Sample from the Spirit Success report: You are impatient to achieve success. You identify with any project
personally, so always do your best. As a team member, you may become frustrated if things dont go your way.
In charge, you expect your workers to share your enthusiasm and put forth the same effort you expend, but will
demand the lions share of credit. Add the respect of your followers to your laurels by sharing the rewards of
your labor. A demanding employer may also be a generous friend.
Mars in the 7th House
Sample from our LoveStyles report: You have tremendous sexual energylike the Energizer bunny, you keep
going and going! You need a partner who challenges you. In fact, someone who holds his/her own in an
argument turns you on. Your close personal relationships are a source of conflict in your life, and you tend to
pick partners who bring out the most aggressive side of your nature. In order for your love life to be more
peaceful and satisfying, you will need to cultivate the art of compromise. Avoid a tendency to jump into
altercations with others without first making a genuine effort to understand their point of view.
Mars in the 8th House
Sample from our LoveStyles report: You have very strong desires, and once you decide to possess something,
you usually succeed in doing so. You may experience shortages of love and money to encourage you to be less
possessive in these areas of your life. You have the ability to see through the false pretenses of others. On the
level of karma, you can make up for past lives of greed and abuse by sharing your resources with others in need.
There may be some sexual trauma in your early life that you struggle with as an adult.
With Mars in the eighth house, shades of the sign Scorpio can be found in your desire nature. You may not
experience true passion until later in life, but when you do, it is magical and infectious. You have some fears of
betrayal and loss that compromise your trust from time to time.
Mars in the 9th House
Sample from our LoveStyles report: You are open-minded and love the challenge of a debate. Avoid a tendency
to become self-righteous and to disregard the opinions of others in your enthusiasm to uncover truths. You are
sexually playful and energetic. Sex is somewhat of a sport for you. Honest and sometimes downright blunt,
others find your sense of humor and direct approach attractive. Your hearty laugh is attractive to others, and
your zest for life is unmistakable. You love a partner who makes you laugh, and one who has something
interesting to say about life.

Mars in the 10th House


Sample from the KidZone report: This child has Mars in the 10th House. These little ones will not need any
coaxing. They are born wanting to succeed. And success should come to them easily and from quite a young
age. They will know that in order to get to where they want to be, they will have to work hard, and they will do
just that. These youngsters set goals early on. They will then push to reach those goals, or even push the
boundaries further. This child will always want to get ahead in life. The father figure could be a problem for this
child in some way.
This child will be more serious than most. Although there will be a strong need to be respected by peers, it is
only those people that are considered important that will count. These youngsters will discriminate, and
generally, they are not concerned with the opinions of others. Even while young, the eye will be on the future.
The stakes of popularity will not matter to this little one. He/she will want to be recognized as being smart, not
cute. These kids can have quite a superior air about them. If this is not recognized and addressed, the child can
go out into the work force with that same attitude. An attitude of superiority can work against this child. He/she
will need to learn to be more compromising, to accept that no man is an island.
The child has a need for appraisal and approval, but to achieve this, he/she must learn to be more human and
less mechanical. Failing this, he/she should probably look for a career that is basically some type of selfemployment. The other avenue is to seek work where there is a great deal of freedom. This position of Mars
suggests several kinds of jobs, especially those that require a lot of physical energy or hard work. This would be
advantageous in any field requiring independent and original work. Mars here will give the child the courage to
act quite independently, and to be a self-starter that can make decisions. The ambition that he/she feels will
carry this child far. But they should learn to develop some people skills as well. It is then that their choices
will be without limit.
Mars in the 11th House
Sample from the Spirit Success report: You will use your ability to work with people to achieve your personal
goals. You may have only a few close friends, because you are too busy enlarging your circle to establish many
permanent relationships. You werent born to be a team-player, but will find that support is necessary to further
your ambitions. Cooperation and coordination should be your key words for success and play a major part in
your life-pattern of expansion.
Mars in the 12th House
Sample from the KidZone report: This child has Mars in the 12th House, which is not an easy placement for
Mars. The energy can be stifled in this house. These children may often be afraid to assert themselves. They can
feel defeated before they start, convinced that making any efforts to be seen, or heard, would be futile. The child
could express this by being tired all the time. This attitude may have resulted from being with people who have
not encouraged him or her very much. Somehow the self-confidence needs to be built and the courage instilled
to disregard anyone that tries to inflict negativity.
These children tend to work in secret and to act behind peoples backs. They should try to avoid this.
Unfortunately, this child can possibly be blamed for things for which they are not responsible, so always check
the facts. A total lack of self-confidence can make him/her so afraid of direct action that the natural course is to
do everything indirectly. But deep down, this can be a very strong little person. He or she will just need to get
over these hang-ups. Or the child will need to be fortunate enough that someone recognizes early to start
building up that confidence. Many athletes and surgeons have this placement.

These children can work very well on their own, as they do not need supervision. They just do not
need anyone to discourage them or to put them down. As they mature, these kids will come to
believe in themselves naturally. The child with Mars in the twelfth House has a tendency to think
about what they want to do, rather than just getting on and doing it. This can cause some frustration. These
youngsters know but they are reluctant to push themselves, or their efforts, or their ideas. Again, this is a lack
of confidence.The sensitivities in this child can run deep through to the psychic nature of things. He/she is likely
to have very vivid dreams. These youngsters will stand firm on principles, but may not openly express or
explain where the ideas are coming from. He/she can find it easier to project an attitude or a mood to make a
point rather than openly express the true feelings within.

anonymously.
Saturn

Saturn in the Houses

Saturns position in a particular house of your natal chart significantly alters the characteristics of
that house.
Saturn has a powerful and life altering influence. We define Saturn as reality. Reality may be
limiting but at the same time provides structure to our lives. Keep in mind that individuals perceive reality
differently. The reality we are referring to is societal and that is common to all. Saturn influences make you
work, take care of your responsibilities, and fit into society. Saturn is the antidote to Uranus creative change
and Neptunes fantasies. Saturn influences may be used to put in the effort, organize, and implement creative

and effort.

Saturn in the First House

The first house stands for the way in which an individual projects personal energies onto others. This house is
fundamental in defining an individuals personality and Saturns presence here is particularly significant. Saturn
in the first house people might have a stern exterior. People may comment, You look so different when you
smile! When you smile the stern exterior drops. Saturns presence in the first house can make you more aware
than others of right or wrong in a societal way. Responsibility will be a major concern in your actions. Demands
from people around you will dominate your consciousness. You will probably find it extraordinarily difficult to
place yourself ahead of others. Guilt and anxiety might haunt you over issues that others, without this influence,
might not consider significant. This misplaced guilt and anxiety may create false sentimentality and attachment
to surroundings to the point of neurosis. You are hard on yourself. Self-assertion at work and home might be
stressful. Develop awareness about your guilt and anxiety attacks. Fight the guilt by thinking things through by
yourself or with someone you feel comfortable with. To avoid the guilt and anxiety your best bet is to lay low
and first let people around you articulate and take what they want and need. Then take what you want. Its rather
important for Saturn first house people to have spouses and partners who understand their self-assertion issue.
An understanding spouse or partner will go a long way towards making life pleasant.

Saturn in the Second House

Traditional astrology interprets Saturns presence in the second house to mean a lack of or difficulty in getting
real world possessions like money, cars, etc. Moving away from this fatalistic approach, we will try to
personalize the meaning of Saturn in the second house for an individual. From a personality standpoint the
second house reflects your attitude to real world possessions. With Saturn in the second house, you might be
unduly pessimistic about your own ability to get possessions. Avoid the pessimism. Then again, you might be
overly cautious in the way you invest your finances. Ill give you an example to illustrate this point. Saturn in
the second house people are more likely to invest their hard earned money in low risk treasury bonds than in the
higher risk stock market. This may be good or bad, depending on how you look at it. Your investments will
remain rock solid over the years, but will not grow as much if you had been more of a risk-taker! Given this risk
aversion, isnt it easy to spot why past astrologers might have taken that as an inability to gain wealth or
possession? Its not so much an inability as simply an attitude. Awareness of this attitude can be your strength.

Saturn in the Third House

The core meaning of the third house lies in the unconscious operating of the mind in familiar surroundings. The
third house indicates the natural way you act and communicate with people. People might include your siblings
while growing up, co-workers, neighbors, the grocery store clerk, and so on. You can review the way your mind
works in these circumstances. In that sense its not unconscious. The comedy serial, Seinfeld, explored the
quirkiness in individual actions and communication in familiar surroundings the little things that people do
and say unconsciously that make them what they are! Yes, the serial about nothing was funny. Saturn in the
third house may make you feel ill at ease while you go about day-to-day life. You may come across as cold and
reserved. You may be a man or woman of few words. This can turn some people off. You can use this to your
advantage by listening to people. That way you dont have to do too much talking, yet people will love you for
listening!

Saturn in the Fourth House

The fourth house indicates the way you relate to your family, both as a child and adult. It indicates your attitude
to giving and receiving mothering or nurturing. Saturn in the fourth house can limit the nurturing that you
yourself are capable of. Your style of nurturing may come across as slightly cold and impersonal. You might
remember your childhood as one that lacked warmth and affection. Saturns influence adds a sense of
responsibility to fourth house functions. One might feel the need to nurture more than most, perhaps to
overcompensate for their own feelings of being neglected. The truth is mothering and nurturing can be fun!
Saturn might take away that element of fun and make it a chore. Dont let that happen to you. Recognize your
style and make up your mind to enjoy yourself! In a broader sense the fourth house extends to community,
home town, and country. With Saturn influences, you will choose to be quietly patriotic and loyal.

Saturn in the Fifth House

The fifth house is the house of play and self-expression. Saturns influences in this house compare in
importance to those on the first house. The fifth house is all about spontaneity. Saturn seriously impedes
spontaneity. You might be recognized as the party pooper or a bad date. Dont let that happen to you!
Individuals with Saturn in the fifth house might find it difficult to play or do fun things. Saturnine guilt and
responsibility might make you search for a good reason to have fun. All work and no play might stress you
out to the point of neurosis. Recognize that you dont always need a cause to relax and enjoy life. Better still use
this influence to your advantage. Get into an activity like raising money for a charity. That way you have a
cause and the fund-raising events can be turned into fun occasions. While dating let your date lead you a little.
If your date happens to have a fifth house Saturn then you have nothing to worry about. The two of you may hit
it off discussing the ramifications of the ozone layer depletion on your first date. If your date does not have
Saturn in the fifth then he or she might have other ideas about ways to have a good time!

Saturn in the Sixth House

Saturn is most comfortable in the sixth house. This house rules your attitude to work, service, and your body.
The sixth house is the house of self-denial in the sense that you put off pleasing yourself. It symbolizes
activities that you pursue not to please yourself, as in the fifth house, but for another purpose. Working to make
a living is a good example. This activity doesnt necessarily please you but you do it anyways from a sense of
responsibility. In that sense the sixth house is Saturnine. When Saturn happens to be in the sixth house of your
natal chart you may very well be a workaholic. You may forget that you are working only to make a living. You
may fall into the trap of living to work! Avoid doing this. In any case, you will have a strong sense of
responsibility in your attitude to work and you will take service to others rather seriously. You may be overly
concerned about what you feed yourself and spend time worrying about the food habits of your loved ones. All
the sixth house functions are over-emphasized a double whammy!

Saturn in the Seventh House

The seventh house rules partnerships and marriages. That is, the seventh house reveals the way you relate to
your closest friend/partner or enemy. This house opposes the first. The first house signifies the way you project
your energies towards others, while the seventh house signifies the energies you project onto others, and the
energies you are looking for in a close relationship. You can think of it as that part of your own energies you
want resonated or boomeranged from your partner. The seventh, Libra, and Venus are all related. Venus rules
relationships involving warmth and love. The seventh house is not naturally connected to love. Successful
marriages are a combination of seventh house (partnership) and fifth house self-expression (love). Saturn in the
seventh house may mean a number of things. If we follow the energy resonance line of thinking then you are
probably drawn to saturnine people. You may very well have fewer relationships. While in a relationship you

may feel weighed down by a sense of responsibility which may turn you off relationships. Or, you may find it
difficult to build bridges with someone else. That may in turn keep you away from relationships. Dont let this
happen to you. Be aware of your predilection. Know that you might be the kind of person who takes
relationships more seriously than most. Be aware that your sense of responsibility makes you a very good
partner. Your partner benefits from your attitude. Advertise yourself as someone who might not get into
relationships easily but when you do, they last forever.

Saturn in the Eighth House

Traditionally, the eighth house was recognized as the house of death. Saturn in the eighth in a natal chart would
mean a horrible death. Modern day astrologers have moved away from that line of thinking. Today we think of
the eighth house as a house of resurrections. The eighth house symbolizes transformations through growth and
change. As an individual you might need to re-invent yourself from time to time. The eighth house is opposite
the second house, which symbolizes your attitude to possessions. In that sense the eighth house stands for your
attitude to giving up relics of the past, so you can grow and change. Saturn in the eighth house can be a
powerful influence. This influence will make you simply resist transformations, change and growth. You will
find it very difficult to accept changes in your life. Any change will be stressful for you, bringing in anxiety and
worry. Be aware of this influence. Understand that change is something that you dont react to well. Prepare for
change. Take time to chart out a course or action plan whenever change is imminent. Read a book on managing
change in your life or at work. Change, if managed well, can make your life richer and better.

Saturn in the Ninth House

The ninth house signifies ideas, philosophies, and rationalizations of the conscious mind. It opposes the third
house which governs the unconscious mind. The ninth house therefore governs the functioning of the higher
mind those thought processes that define us as humans. Mind expansion is a basic ninth house function. The
ninth house signifies an individuals personal philosophy of life, perception of the reality of life, and reaction to
new ideas. Saturn in the ninth house indicates a practical minded individual. You are unlikely to take to flights
of fantasy or fancy ideas. You might even be closed to new ideas. Your thinking might be overly closed and
conservative. Dont close your mind! Be aware that while practicality is a great quality, the world needs people
to come up with new ideas in order to move forward or even keep going. Dont dismiss ideas too quickly and
dont be threatened by them. Instead, adopt a constructive attitude. Tell yourself and others that you can be
practical in your thinking. And, that is an asset. At the same time, encourage people around you to think and act
out their ideas and philosophies. You can be close-minded and mean, or the sane anchor of practicality for the
creativity around you. The choice is yours!

Saturn in the Tenth House

While the sixth house rules work, the tenth house rules the work that you identify with. In the context of home
and family, the tenth house signifies your attitude while playing the fathering role. Saturn in the tenth house
makes you take your fathering responsibilities seriously. You will be concerned with the development and
growth of your child in real world terms. At work you may have the desire to lead or guide co-workers. In any
case, you will take your career or chosen profession more seriously than most. Both at work and home, your
teaching or leadership style will be based on practical aspects of life. You are acutely aware (more so than most)
of your place and role in society. You may feel like you are under a magnifying glass, so to speak, when it
comes to the path you choose to take in your career or in the roles you take on. Defensiveness and selfconsciousness about your importance in the material world can result. A rather conservative approach to life is
often adopted, which may or may not conflict with your more personal aspirations. You will shoulder immense
responsibilities with ease. This might not always work for you. Take care not to take on too much at a time. If
you feel overloaded with responsibilities delegate some!

Saturn in the Eleventh House

One-to-one relationships are a seventh house function. The eleventh house is best understood as one that
governs an individuals one-to-many relationships. This implies your relationship with friends, extended family,
and the organization you work for, and so on. Saturn in the eleventh house therefore works much in the same
way as in the seventh (read Saturn in the seventh), except that the nature of the relationships are different. You
may find socializing tiresome and prefer to stay alone. Many people with this position feel some disdain for the
superficial workings of casual friendships and of the group that is, they feel uncomfortable and selfconscious about going through the motions, doing and saying the right things, and so forth. At the root of this
perception, there may be a fear of failure in a group setting. It may be easier to fall back on, and take too much
pride in, your uniqueness as an individual rather than submit to the idea that you belong and identify with a
group. It can be a fear of being ordinary or just part of the crowd that prevents you from loosening up in
social situations. The fact that you take friendships more seriously than most can give you a heavy sense of
responsibility and reluctance to form ties, as if you somehow sense that forming them will burden or obligate
you too much. Staying alone might seem to be a better use of your time. Watch out for this. A deep-seated
feeling of loneliness and separateness may be the result. Take time to personalize your social interactions. Since
you find group activity uncomfortable, develop a few good friends to hang out with. You have a greater capacity
than most to be a loyal and long-standing friend! Beyond friendships and groups, the eleventh house is
associated with our long-term goals, hopes, and dreams. Saturn here can make you just as reluctant to commit to
any one life path, and to articulate or define your innermost wishes, as you are to attach yourself to a group
identity. It is as if doing so would be too binding and revealing. When you learn to identify and overcome your
fear of failure, you will discover that this fear has been the only thing holding you back from defining and
working towards your dreams.

Saturn in the Twelfth House

Each planet in the twelfth house represents energies that an individual may be denying even exists. Saturn in
this house could mean an early life setback which prompts you to push the realities of life into the unconscious.
People with this position of Saturn often are plagued with guilt and it is difficult for them to know where the

guilt is coming from, or even to define their anxieties. Fear of the unknown and of being
overwhelmed or controlled by emotions may be the source of your general anxiety in life. It can be
difficult for you to submit to the idea that you may need help from others, preferring instead to
withdraw and handle your problems in solitude. The idea of exposing your innermost feelings
makes you feel painfully vulnerable and dependent on others. A deep-seated feeling of loneliness and
separateness can be the result. While self-control seems to be the most attractive route for you, you might find
that letting others inside you, even in little ways, will help you overcome many of the vague feelings of guilt,
self-doubt, and anxiety that prevent you from enjoying life in a free and natural manner. Learning to embrace
your sorrow, free from guilt, is the first step towards true self-acceptance. You may be an escapist from life
itself. Address your escapism. Question yourself, or talk things through with an alter ego. Make sure that you
understand the demands of the real world, as well as its joys and pleasures. This will help you lead a more
fulfilling and rich life.

Uranus

Uranus in the Houses

The position of Uranus in a particular house adds an interesting flavor to the areas and stages of life associated
with that house. Uranus is a liberatorit wants us to break free from structure and limitation. Its purpose is
evolution, experimentation, and growth. Although Uranus can sometimes live in reaction mode, it motivates us
to think and act outside of the box. In fact, Uranus in its purest form is intuition itself. By house, the position of
Uranus shows where individuals look to stir things up, put a new spin on situations, and go against established
thought or order.
Below youll find descriptions of each position of Uranus through the houses of the natal chart. Dont know the
placement of Uranus in your chart? See how to get your free natal chart here.
Uranus in the First House

Uranus in the first house alters the way an individual projects personal energies onto others. You are likely to
seek, nay demand, freedom in the way you present yourself to the world. Dressing simply but quirkily, you will
have no problems in asserting yourself. You are not shy in letting everyone know where you stand on issues. In
fact you take pride in presenting your unique perspective. I am a simple soul with few wants and needs, is
what you tell yourself. All you can feel is an altruistic desire to change the world! Friends and relatives probably
find you a trifle erratic. They know you to be good-hearted and genuine about your feelings. Your passions rise
fast and you lose interest at the same rate.

Uranus in the Second House

Your attitude to real world possessions differs from most. You may look at money and cars as a means to an
end. If you find that they support the quirky lifestyle that your heart desires then you are all right with having
some of your own. You may decide though that these things tie you down to one place and hence subvert your
freedom of movement. If this happens then you are likely to shy away from acquiring worldly possessions. The
possessions you desire will be ones that help you lead the free lifestyle you desire. You may value money in
the bank as that money can buy you the freedom you crave.

Uranus in the Third House

You act and communicate with people around you in an offbeat, eccentric, and zany way. Naturally friendly,
you very often make people smile with your wit and easy good-humor. People look upon you to ease a boring
day knowing you will perhaps have something new to say about the mundane. Your eccentricity may puzzle and
sometimes annoy some. You win them over with your humility, open mind, and honesty. Creativity in
communication and in all that you do sets you apart from most.

Uranus in the Fourth House

Uranus in the fourth house may alter your nurturing style significantly. You seek unusual ways to express your
desires in this arena that sets you apart from most. The concept of nurturing doesnt come naturally to you. Your
independent streak might make you want to run away from nurturing when its proffered to you. As a nurturer,
you can be very loving and caring. But sometimes you withdraw and prefer aloofness. To others you may
appear erratic but theres nothing wrong with your intentions. At heart you always have the best of intentions.
Uranus in the fourth may indicate the style of nurturing or mothering that you yourself have received as a
child. You may remember your childhood as adequate in material areas but somewhat lacking in emotional
support.

Uranus in the Fifth House

Fifth house play and self-expression are happy hunting grounds for Uranus. Creativity and change are the
bywords of Uranus in the fifth. You take great pleasure in doing things differently. You are naturally creative
and find it easy to implement change. As a teenager you may decide to date an older person. Your love
relationships will always start with a twist. Charming and zany in love, you will create your own world with
ease. Your love of freedom will make you choose activities that may sound weird to others. You will go about
life with zest and find challenges in all that you do. Others will find your offbeat lifestyle stimulating.

Uranus in the Sixth House

You are likely to enjoy work associated with science and technology. Working, especially day-to-day stuff may
be more of a chore to you than most. Your freedom loving instincts propel you to seek out work that allows you
the most personal freedom. A regular eight-to-five kind of job is likely a turn off for you. Your work desk will
usually resemble a disaster area. Natural creativity and a desire to do mundane things differently and more
efficiently are your forte. On matters of health, you are the kind of person who keeps up with the ever changing
views of health experts. However you are more than likely to adopt some unique views of your own that differ
from what the experts are saying.

Uranus in the Seventh House

Partners and people who you are in a one-on-one relationship with will complain about your erratic and
inconstant ways. However, they will be charmed by your genuineness and simplicity. You may shy away from
making a commitment and see relationships as a necessary evil. Your freedom loving ways make you hate
feeling tied down. The whole idea of relationships may be slightly alien to your basic nature. In a partner you
may search for a certain aloofness or love of personal freedom to feel secure. Your ideal partner enjoys his or
her personal freedom as much as you do.

Uranus in the Eighth House

Uranus is quite at home in the eighth house of resurrections. You are naturally open and support change.
Change is good, is your constant motto. Re-inventing yourself from time to time sounds like a good idea to
you. You couldnt possibly have it otherwise. Life would be boring without change. Your style and pace of
bringing about change though may leave others dazed and breathless. The style of change that you prefer can be
destructive to those around you. Your good intentions are never at doubt though. Its just that you are addicted to
your ideas and you sometimes overlook human emotions. Your natural impatience with status quo drives you to
move fast leaving the staid behind.

Uranus in the Ninth House

You are likely to be comfortable with new ideas, radical philosophies, and thoughts that oppose the traditional.
Playing around with new ideas by yourself or with others is your passion. Traveling, meeting new people,
reading, and other such mind expansion activities will interest you. Conservative people might turn you off and
you might find their ways claustrophobic. Any activity that calls for higher thinking is an opportunity for you to
add your unique and creative spin. Your natural instincts oppose accepting the boundaries of the world we live
in. You are constantly looking for opportunities to expand the limits placed by the real world.

Uranus in the Tenth House

The concept of identifying with a career may be alien to your basic nature. You are fiercely independent and
hate to be defined by any one thing that you do. Constantly on the move in your career, you will shy away from
identifying with one. You will do what you do in a creative and competent fashion. Yet you will enjoy
maintaining your own unique identity. Hierarchies and power games at work will turn you off. You prefer the
equality and freedom of flat structures. You may find inner peace in an offbeat career and take off on an
archaeological mission to Africa. Social status is of little or no concern for you. At home and at work, your
ideas of playing father might be unconventional. You make an excellent father as you are capable of opening
doors and collapsing barriers as no other. Your progenies might just have to get used to the unusual.

Uranus in the Eleventh House


Your independence doesnt allow you to identify too closely with any group or social circle. Goals and
ambitions for you are idealistic. You crave your ideals and may not be willing to compromise them to fit in with
others. Thus you go around life feeling slightly superior to, and perhaps disdainful of people who compromise
their ideals to just fit in. Your personal charm and wit will mesmerize many. While interacting in a group
situation you are likely to come across as a bit aloof and erratic. In the short term this can cause
misunderstandings. People will appreciate your simplicity and honesty in the long run. You pride yourself a
loner in many ways. However you are likely to connect really well with people who share your ideals and these
relationships will last a lifetime.

Uranus in the Twelfth House


A burning need for freedom and a deep altruistic desire to change the world you live in underlie your actions but
you will shy away from articulating this need and desire. Depending on your situation this might play out in
various ways. As an example, if you are a successful business person, you might join or start a program to
encourage young entrepreneurs. Or, you might simply choose to quietly give young entrepreneurs breaks when
you can. You will always search for personal freedom and ways to make the world a better place for everyone.
In close relationships you will often tend to search for freedom loving and creative people. Keeping the
company of creative people will be comforting for you. A career in the sciences or technology may suit you
well. You could be artistic and creative as well. No matter what you do, you will find yourself drawn to all that
surpasses the limits placed by the world we live in.
Neptune
Neptune in the Houses

{On this page:}


The meaning of Neptune in the houses of the natal chart is explored.

Neptunes position by house in the natal chart (that is, the house that Neptune occupies in the birth
chart) reveals an area of life where we tend to ignore or avoid reality. We attach spirituality to the
areas of life ruled by the house. Often, we chase dreams and illusions in these areas of life.
When trying to understand some of the effects of Neptune on the affairs of the house that Neptune occupies, it is
helpful to think of the following example: if two people have decided to split the cost of an item, and that item
is five dollars, what would they do if nobody had any coins? The Neptune person would insist on paying three
dollars, and let the other person pay only two; and the Neptune person would insist that the other individual
never pay him back. This is a simplistic example, but it is illustrative of the character of Neptune. Wherever
Neptune is in your chart, that is where you cut others a better deal than you do yourself. This, obviously, doesnt
always have to do with material goods. You cut others slack, often at the your expense, in this area of life; you
are trusting and idealistic.
So, if Neptune is in the 6th house, the native may easily gloss over the details of managing day-to-day affairs.
Perhaps the person has adopted a philosophy that life means more than just sticking to routines, making lists,
and organizing bills to pay. Another real-world manifestation of this position is the tendency to give in to coworkers, or to not take credit for ones own hard work.
Or, if Neptune occupies the 8th house, then money and business affairs involving others are literally involved. If
a more aggressive personality seems to want something more, the native will simply cut them a better deal.
Similarly, if Neptune is in the 7th house, the native may tend to give more to a partnership (including marriage)
than he/she takes. There may be a tendency to wear rose colored glasses when it comes to the selection of a
partner, in an attempt to find a soulmate. The native must take a step back, consciously attempting to see their
partners and relationships for what they are, rather than what they wish them to be.
In some cases, the complete opposite is true, and where Neptune is, they take more than they give. This is the
case when the individual is perhaps spoiled. For example, because the person has avoided taking responsibility
for circumstances surrounding the areas of life representing the house, others may have picked up his/her slack
and the pattern continues to the point that the person expects the easy life in these areas. So, in the case of
Neptune in the 6th, while some with this position might be taken advantage of on the job, where others take
their credit, or might get stuck with too many duties, others might be so accustomed to avoiding their duties and
responsibilities that they continue this pattern and try to manipulate others into doing these tasks for them. In
either case, there is a giving up of power. One way, people make themselves martyrs or victims, and the other
way, people take advantage of others.
Where Neptune is in the natal chart is where we might have many dreams, hopes, and wishes; where we are
especially idealistic; where we might give more than we take, or the complete opposite, we might avoid
responsibilities and coerce others to do our share, where we might feel unsatisfied with reality and where we
might feel vague discontent or spiritual longing, and where we might have inflated expectations. Neptunes
position can reveal some of the karma that we experience.

Neptune in the First House

You might express yourself artistically, and come across as gentle, sensitive, and dreamy, especially if Neptune
is close to the Ascendant (within 10 degrees). You are extremely sensitive to your environment. Others tend to
see whatever they want to see in you, and you thus can come across very differently to different people. You
might tend to encourage this, even without knowing. Your appearance and mannerisms tend to be chameleonlike. You are a peace-loving person. While you dont come on strong, you can be subtly alluring and intriguing.
Others can be drawn to you and feel that you understand them. You can be moody and your first reaction to
problems might be to escape or to feel sorry for yourself, or helpless. You may not feel a strong sense of identity
and struggle with your own impressionability. Like a sponge, you absorb the moods of others. Your imagination
is powerful. You have an easygoing manner a what will be, will be approach to the world.

Neptune in the Second House

You may prefer not to attach too much value to money, but if this is overdone, there can be quite a few problems
in life concerning money and ownership. You might make money through artistic pursuits, but must avoid the
potential pitfalls of putting too much faith in ideas that dont have enough grounding in reality. Financial advice
is important to obtain. You may have developed a non-materialistic personal philosophy. This might work well
for you, but it could also lead to impractical attitudes and money problems. When it comes to making money,
you tend to act on hunches and intuition. You might have faith that you will come into money one day, or
daydream a lot about being wealthy. The trick is to have faith in your own self-worth. If you frequently have
money problems, you might want to examine whether you truly are not attached to material things, or if it stems
from undervaluing your own worth or value. When Neptune is in good condition in the second house, there can
be a sense that you are wealthy no matter what you actually have, and this faith can bring you exactly what you
need. If Neptune is challenged, you may be glossing over practical details and money can too easily slip through
your fingers. You might be especially generous, but avoid situations where you get the short end of the stick
financially speaking if they lead to feelings of resentment.

Neptune in the Third House

Dry, cold facts are hard for you to absorb, so traditional academics might not appeal. However, you are talented
at visualization and whole-style learning. You are perceptive and dreamy, although you often have your head in
the clouds and might miss important details. Sticking to schedules can be difficult, and so can tending to
errands, communications, and other necessary daily activities. You might tune out when you hear specific
directions, and consequently miss helpful details. You might as a result frequently be late for appointments or
miss them altogether. In your communications, you can quickly put others at ease, as you seem to intuitively
understand them. You express yourself creatively, imaginatively, and with great charm. However, you might
also encourage, without even knowing it, misunderstandings, as you rarely are definite in what you say.
Learning, especially when young, can be challenged only because you might lack discipline or the style of
learning is not creative enough to hold your interest.

Neptune in the Fourth House

Your childhood was likely complex, likely due to an especially sensitive, absent, preoccupied, or confusing
parental figure. Early home life may have been chaotic in some manner, and you might have failed to achieve a
strong sense of identity and groundedness as a result. You might long for a stronger sense of home, family, or
mothering and nurturing in your life. This might lead you to create an extended family of sorts that includes
non-family and helps you to feel loved and nurtured. Or, you might be a mothering figure yourself, giving of
yourself quite freely, and perhaps hoping to receive unconditional love and nurturing in return. If you feel that
you often become a doormat, then it will be important to set some limits. Alternatively, you might have
frequent needs to escape into solitude in order to replenish your spirit. You might isolate yourself from others
needlessly or avoid obligations because they overwhelm you. Seeing your family and your childhood in a
realistic light may be challenging for you, as you have many dreams and inflated expectations from home and
family which can interfere with your perceptions. You might swing from over-idealizing them to impressions
that they are far more difficult than they actually are, and in both cases you are going to extremes. Strive to see
family clearly.

Neptune in the Fifth House

You are an imaginative and creative person with a strong sense of drama. You are inspired by art and feel
compelled to express yourself in a fantastic or dramatic manner. You could be an excellent actor. You might also
be an especially creative teacher or caregiver, perhaps drawn to helping children with special needs. You have
an exceptionally strong need to be appreciated, particularly on romantic and creative levels. Your love life
involves a lot of fantasy, and often your deep need for drama can lead you to see things that you want to see.
Your romantic perceptions may not be accurate as a result. You might attract unusual, chaotic, or secretive
circumstances in your love life if you are not spiritually content. You might be attracted to lovers who you feel
need to be saved somehow, but you could end up with people who are confused, distant, non-committal, or
dependent. Keeping a high level of drama in your love life is important to you, but it can also be exhausting
over time. Finding a balance will be vital keep your ideals, but try to avoid expecting far too much from
ordinary people.

Neptune in the Sixth House

With Neptune in the sixth house, you may easily gloss over the details of managing day-to-day affairs. Perhaps
you have adopted a personal philosophy that life means more than just sticking to routines, making lists, and
organizing bills to pay. However, avoiding or ignoring these basic responsibilities can lead to much confusion
and chaos, as well as guilt. You might give in to co-workers too easily, or not take credit for your own hard
work. You might have inflated ideals regarding being helpful to others. You want to help others unconditionally,
but if you dont draw some lines and boundaries, you could feel put upon. Or, you could feel helpless when it
comes to managing your daily affairs or work, and often depend on others to save you from these tasks. On the
level of health, you might have mysterious health complaints that are hard to diagnose, sensitivity to drugs, or

allergies. These might be related to the aforementioned guilt. You might have a strong interest in alternative
health methods. Some of you might be especially compassionate with animals and pets.

Neptune in the Seventh House

You are inclined to give more to a partnership (including marriage) than you take. There may be a tendency to
wear rose-colored glasses when it comes to the selection of a partner, in an attempt to find a soulmate. The need
for a strong psychic or intuitive link with a partner is so strong that your perceptions in partnership are not
accurate. You need to take a step back, consciously attempting to see your partners and relationships for what
they are, rather than what you wish them to be. You might be attracted to relationships in which you feel a
partner needs to be saved somehow, or in which a partner saves you. However, you might end up with people
who only serve to confuse you, who are noncommittal or unavailable, or who are overly dependent. You tend to
idealize a partner, assigning them traits that you want them to have, or even seeing them as worse than they are
because of your inflated and dramatic expectations. You need to develop discipline and discrimination when it
comes to setting limits, selecting partners, and keeping communication clear in a relationship. In some cases,
people with this position give up their power to partners and become dependent upon them. You are likely a
creative negotiator and you can be especially accommodating with others. Positively, you are very talented at
bringing out the good in another person, particularly a partner, if that person is appreciative of your efforts and
is willing to grow.

Neptune in the Eighth House

There is a spiritual longing with this position. You might often experience deja vus or other psychic phenomena.
You pay attention to dreams and you might enjoy analyzing them. Sexual fantasies or role-playing can be strong
themes in your life. You might yearn for a spiritual form of ecstasy on a sexual levela soul connection. You
might feel that your needs on this level are always just out of reach. You might be a giver in bed, and perhaps
feel that you give more than you get. Alternatively, you could be in the completely opposite position in which
you seek partners who are exceptionally giving on a sexual level. Either way, there is an imbalance and you
could be left wanting. With this position, it can be especially important to be discriminating when it comes to
selecting sexual partners if Neptune is challenged. You may not see your partner clearly because of a deep need
for extraordinary or fantastical experiences. There may be times when you give more than you take with money.
If a more aggressive personality seems to want something more, you will cut them a better deal. Your shared
finances may be chaotic in some way. You may be taken advantage of on a monetary level in partnership, or you
might keep poor financial records and end up paying or owing more as a result. There can be a blurring of
boundaries when it comes to finances and partnership, whether that means you allow a partner to control your
own finances or you adopt a whats mine is yours philosophy without following up on or enforcing the
whats yours is mine part. In this way, you may leave yourself open to deception or even fraud. Over the
years, you will likely learn to take more responsibility for your finances and learn to be less timid about taking
ownership of what is rightfully yours. You can be a bit sloppy with accounting. You may have problems
collecting inheritance and could encounter difficulties on a financial level through the marital partner. You are
very creative and imaginative sexually, and you understand and accept a wide range of styles and preferences on
a sexual level.

Neptune in the Ninth House

You believe that anything is possible and have extraordinary faith in the universe. This faith can bring about
positive circumstances, but if taken too far, might lead to wastefulness and laziness. You may depend too much
on being saved one day and avoid some practical responsibilities in the meantime. You might make lofty
plans that dont get off the ground, or that fail to materialize, because you have neglected important, practical
details. The faith you have can certainly carry you far if you keep your feet on the ground and recognize that
you are in the drivers seat when it comes to steering your life in a particular direction. Your spiritual beliefs are
well-developed. You are very open to unusual or avant-garde concepts, and you are especially attracted to
anything exotic. You may, however, be a bit blinded in your faith, as you dont always take the time to think
about why you believe in what you do. Some with this position might be easily led astray by concepts, religions,
or cults that do not serve them well. There may be some confusion or chaos when it comes to getting a higher
education. You will need quite a bit of discipline in order to complete your studies if you are seeking a degree.
You could be excellent at promotion and marketing, coming up with very creative methods of persuasion. You
might also be a creative and compassionate teacher. Strive to keep your larger plans and goals realistic, while
maintaining your ideals.

Neptune in the Tenth House

You have exceptionally strong intuition when it comes to current trends, business, and what the public wants,
and you are likely to bring much creativity, vision, and artistic sense to your career. This position is good for a
career in the arts, with the media, in the helping professions, and involving charity work. If challenged, Neptune
here can point to drifting without a clear direction or a lack of clearly defined goals. You may find it hard to find
a calling in life, perhaps because of fears that a particular profession will be less than ideal, or due to fear of
your being less than perfect. You might want to examine whether your expectations are inflated or unrealistic.
Some of you might fear taking responsibility for your lives or for others lives. You may have received
confusing or chaotic messages in your childhood or from a particular parent, and subsequently find it hard to
take a definite direction or path in life, or fear taking responsibility. In your career, you may not always get due
recognition, which can also stem from a problem with assigning yourself worth. Others might take credit for
your work, or you could have problems being recognized and rewarded by your superiors until you truly believe
in yourself and your abilities and talents. You may not project yourself clearly and you should be cautious about
your reputation. While you often prefer anonymity, try not to encourage others misperceptions about you.

Neptune in the Eleventh House


You have very accepting, humanitarian, and idealistic views. You are especially idealistic about friendships,
always adapting and displaying much flexibility with people, but hopefully not to the point of being taken
advantage of. Some with this position are so accommodating and non-discriminating in their choice of friends
that they leave themselves open to being deceived or used. You may find it very challenging to draw up
boundaries when it comes to how much of yourself you give up in order to keep the peace in friendships. You

might also find it hard to get in touch with your deepest wishes and hopes, and what it is that will make you
happy. You might frequently feel unsatisfied as you reach a goal, wanting something more. You might also
yearn for a feeling of true camaraderie and spiritual connection with friends or through group associations, but
because your ideals may be too high or unrealistic, you often feel dissatisfied or let down. You are likely to
attract, or be attracted to, artistic, sensitive, or unusual and even off-center friends into your life. You have much
sympathy and compassion for the underdog or the downtrodden. You need to be careful not to give so much of
yourself that you end up feeling used. Strive also to be clear with others in order to avoid confusing or chaotic
situations.

Neptune in the Twelfth House


You possess exceptional intuition and you are able to draw upon tremendous inner strength and faith when in a
pinch, which might surprise others because of your easygoing and possibly even timid manner. You may be
exceptionally sensitive but not always able to express your compassion and concern in direct ways, which can
give rise to feelings of guilt. If you deny the spiritual side of your nature, you run the risk of chronic discontent,
and you may feel very vulnerable to normal changes in life, fearing that you may not be able to handle them. In
truth, your faith runs deep and surfaces when you need it most, so this fear is actually ungrounded. You need to
learn to believe in yourself, or you might resort to escapist behavior and avoid problems when they do crop up.
Some with this position only discover their deep spiritual inclinations later in life, or they are aware of them but
have troubles expressing them until they have built a stronger identity.

money and possessions. You could be driven to make money. Others taking something from you without asking,

value instinctively. Your advice on these matters can be invaluable to others.

Pluto in 3rd House


You rarely accept what you hear or what you read as truths. Your mind is very analytical and you instinctively
search for hidden meanings. You can be exceptionally persuasive in the way you express yourself, whether
through the spoken or written word, simply because you communicate with authority, conviction, strength, and
decisiveness. You tend to learn through observation rather than by asking questions. In fact, you may be
somewhat resistant to learning directly from others, preferring to be self-taught. You might fear the loss of self
through self-expression, and thus you might choose your words carefully as to avoid letting others know too
much about you.

Pluto in 4th House


Early experiences may have led you to feel self-protective or to be secretive about yourself. A parent might have
been secretive or ashamed, for example, and this pattern is deeply ingrained in your psyche. You might feel a
sense of guilt for where you came from, even if most of you feels proud of your roots. A parent might have
encouraged you to look beyond the surface of matters, and might have encouraged in you a love for psychology.
A parent might have been very protective of you and attempted to shield you from negative experiences, and
you subsequently grew to fear change. Or, your early experiences might have included a shocking, intense, or
scary event that lives within you. Alternatively, you might have absorbed the strong fears or obsessions of a
parent.

Pluto in 5th House


You possess powerful creative impulses, and you might invest much energy and passion into the creative arts,
romance, or child-rearing. You take much pride in, and invest much of your ego into, whatever it is you
produce. Romance for you needs to be intense, passionate, and deeply intimatenothing superficial or light
attracts. You have an all or nothing attitude in love. If you are not owning this attitude, then you may be
meeting Pluto energies through your lovers, and thus attracting intense, controlling, or passionate romantic
partners. A deep-seated fear of loss or betrayal can be behind any jealous, obsessive, or controlling behavior in
fifth house areas, including romantic involvements, child-rearing, and creative endeavors. Your attitude towards
play, entertainment, and recreation is also intenserarely lighthearted. While you may yearn to throw your soul
into your creative endeavors, fear might prevent you from doing so completely.

even finding problems that others overlook. You come alive when presented with a problem that requires
research and analysis. Work can become an obsession for you, and you are able to work almost tirelessly. You
might be private or insular when it comes to your work, and you might also feel overly attached to what you do
even to the point of paranoia. Fear of criticism might run high when it comes to your work output. Directing
your own work or working for yourself may be the best route for you to take, as you can easily resent others
controlling your schedule and the work that you do. You are likely very interested in areas of health and selfimprovement, as well as explorations of the mind-body connection, and you instinctively seek alternative
therapies for healing. Some of you are excellent researchers in these areas.

Pluto in 7th House


With Pluto in the seventh house of the horoscope, power struggles in close personal relationships are themes.
This can play out in a variety of ways. You might simultaneously fear and desire complete absorption in a close
one-to-one relationship. You might find yourself both drawn to and resistant of close partnerships, fearing loss
of control over your own life. You might be drawn to people who are intense, jealous, possessive, or obsessive,
or possibly who you feel are powerful. On the other hand, your own resistance can bring out control issues in a
partner, who fears the loss of you or your betrayal. In fact, you might bring out the worst in others by your
relationship behavior you tend to be the catalyst for others to discover their more primal instincts and fears.
Never underestimate your role in this interplay, and dont make the mistake of thinking that you are simply a
victim. You also discover your own power through your relationships, and this may or may not be comfortable.
How you deal with it determines outcomes. You might feel trapped in a difficult relationship, or have a hard
time finding the deep connection that you crave. Obsession in your interactions with partners can be a big theme
in your life. Watch that you dont project your own urge for control onto your partner. Strive to come to terms
with your own intense and deep-seated fear of losing someone you love and fear of betrayal, or you will meet
these energies repeatedly in your closest relationships.

Pluto in 8th House

You have a natural attraction to all that is hidden, taboo, or dark. This fascination can lead you to experience
more unusual events than others. A natural psychologist, you are expert at cutting through appearances and

interested in hypnosis, healing therapies, occult sciences, as well as great mysteries and the darker side of life.

intimacy, and crave unusually deep, passionate, and intense experiences with others. This fascination can bring
you intense experiences with others, and attraction to nontraditional sexual experiences, particularly those that
involve domination and submission, control, and possession. If you are attracting controlling people into your
experience and are uncomfortable with it, strive to examine and understand your own deep-seated fears
regarding power and sharing issues. Some of you might engage in power struggles with money, particularly
with a partner. Themes of control are quite possible with Pluto in the eighth house. You would likely be quite
talented in the healing professions, especially helping others deal with crises and trauma.

unusual and unique ideas that impress others. Your sense of adventure runs deep and can lead you to unusual

cultures.

Pluto in 10th House


There is something very unique about you that makes you stand out from the crowd. Your ambition may be
well-developed, or you pursue your goals with great focus and determination. You might have a strong interest
in research, making improvements, understanding how things work, and transformation, and these are qualities
that you use most notably in your career or in your dealings with the public. Some of you could have a parent
who is/was quite driven, or work(ed) in healing or research professions. Your personal presence is strong, and
you may find that you might inspire love-hate reactions as a result, particularly in your professional
experiences. Nevertheless, you can be very persuasive when you choose to be. You have an especially strong

revolving around the relationship with the father. Many of you are perfectionists and especially detail-oriented,
particularly on a professional level. You tend to naturally take the lead, and you dont always enjoy being in the
position of subordinate.

Pluto in 11th House

*You may have a deep aversion to groups, associations, clubs, or organizations of any kind. Any such group you
become involved in is likely to be either for intense personal growth, change, and healing, or centered around
social change and revising society in some manner.
#Circumstances impel you to change, ready or not. Sometimes you feel you must listen to a lot of other peoples
dreams and follow them. It is important to weigh their urgings against the inner voice of your own desire.
^With Pluto in your 11th House, you may meet many of your power issues within the social sphere, particularly
around special interest groups or when dealing with political processes. Youre not the women who enjoys
sitting on the sidelines if youre part of a group, especially if something could be done more effectively. If you
have not developed a strong sense of your own ideals and beliefs you can fall under the influence of others who
would usurp your power in order to boost their own. But once youve awakened to your own ideals, drives and
directives, you can be a highly influential leader and instigator of social change. The extent of your efforts
depends upon you and the choices you make for yourself.

Pluto in 12th House


*You have a deep interest in secrets, the underworld or unconscious, and anything hidden and mysterious.
Psychoanalysis, investigating your dreams, and other methods of uncovering secrets are very interesting to you.
You may be exceptionally perceptive intuitively or psychically. Your emotions and subconscious energies are
complex, and periodic transformations and personal crises are sprinkled liberally throughout your lifetime.
#Death has played a large part in creating doubt about your abilities. Use private time to examine your present
knowledge and skills, and you may find that confidence replaces doubt. You need the quiet moments to build
your power.
^Since you have Pluto in your 12th House you may be tempted to repress your emotions, particularly those
which have to do with those deep needs which spring from the shadowy side of yourself. You may even have
problems with depression or addictive behaviors which create a kind of emotional trap until you learn to delve
into the depths of your being and clean out the ghosts and dragons from your past which still haunt your
dreams. Old resentments can also act like a potion which poisons your imagination and undermines your ability
to trust your inner self. Once youve conquered your own demons, you may feel driven to help others confront
their own, and can become an extremely effective healer.
