Every zodiac chart is divided into 12 signs, and each of those signs is divided into 12 houses. Every planet in your chart is positioned in both a sign and a house, and each house represents a different area of life, from travel and romance to career. These two configurations show how a planet’s impact might manifest in your life.
It’s a lot to take in, which is why astrologer Chani Nicholas, author of You Were Born For This: The Astrology of Radical Self-Acceptance, recommends seeing the astrological mix of planets, signs, and houses as a theater production. “The planets are the characters, the signs are the costumes they’re wearing, and the homes represent the stages, or areas of life,” she explains. “Planets display their vitality in the style of the sign they are in, and they stand out in whatever realm of life, or house, they are in.”
While you may utilize diagrams like the one above to find the sign and house placements for each planet in your chart, it might be intimidating. Finding out which house your sun sign belongs to is an excellent place to start. Simply enter your birth time, place, and location into an online natal chart generator, such as this one, and scroll down to the textual description of your solar sign. You’ll find out what house it’s in there.

In astrology, which house is which?
- Every planet, with its full sight, aspects the 7th house from its position.
- Saturn aspects the 3rd and 10th houses from its position with 100 percent sight, in addition to the 7th house.
- Jupiter also opposes the 5th and 9th houses from its position with its 100 percent sight, in addition to the 7th house.
- Mars also faces the 4th and 8th houses from its position with its 100 percent sight, in addition to the 7th house.
- Because Rahu and Ketu are always 7 houses apart in the Birth Chart and symbolize opposing energies, i.e. Obsession vs Isolation, their 7th house aspect is theoretical but not practical because opposing energy is always present in the 7th house to counteract it. Rahu/Ketu also aspects the 5th and 9th houses from its location with its 100 percent sight, in addition to the 7th house.
- When we look at each planet and its aspects, we’ll talk about why Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Rahu/Ketu have distinct aspects, as well as why Rahu/7th Ketu’s house aspect is present but ineffective in some areas.
How do you figure out which house governs your chart?
- Mars, Aries, “I am” in the first house
- Venus in Taurus, second house, “I value”
- Mercury, Gemini, 3rd House, “I believe”
- Fourth House: Cancer, Moon, “I feel”
- “I will,” says the Sun in Leo’s fifth house.
- Mercury in Virgo, 6th House, “I analyze”
- Venus, Libra, “I balance,” 7th House
- “I desire” is the eighth house, which is ruled by Mars and Pluto in Scorpio.
- “I see,” Jupiter, Sagittarius, Ninth House
- Saturn, Capricorn, 10th House, “I use”
- Uranus, Aquarius, 11th House “I understand,” says the speaker.
- Neptune, Pisces, 12th House, “I believe”
We can talk about the chart ruler and its overall relevance in your birth chart now that you know the basics of each astrological house and its planetary ruler. For begin, the major theme of our cosmic footprint is determined by our chart ruler, which is absolutely unique to each individual. We need to look at the house in which that planet lives, as well as the sign it occupies, once we know our rising sign and its ruling planet. If your rising sign is Sagittarius, for example, check to see which house and sign Jupiter, Sagittarius’ ruling planet, is in. That is the ruler for your chart.
Using that example, what happens if you’re a rising Sagittarius with Jupiter in Gemini in your seventh house, dubbed the house of partnerships? Because Jupiter is associated with luck and abundance, and Gemini is associated with curiosity and chattiness, you will naturally attract mentally engaging partners, but you will likely become bored of them shortly. This is how your ascendant sign can tell you so much about yourself.
Please take a moment to find out what your rising sign is if you haven’t already. Your life is going to alter in a positive way.
What is the best way for me to figure out which house my planets are in?
Look at the inner circle on your chart for these. The digits one through twelve will be shown in a counterclockwise direction. These are your residences. There will be many planetary symbols in some of these sections.
What’s in the 7th house of my horoscope?
The 7th house, ruled by Libra, is concerned with relationships and how we conduct ourselves in them.
It is traditionally known as the house of marriage, but it governs all of our connections, including lovers, business partners, and even enemies.
“Unlike the 5th house, where sex, pleasure, and what we seek in another person reside, the 7th house is recognized as the house of marriage and committed or contractual partnering,” says astrologer Corina Crysler.
“It can also reveal what we require in our relationships, as well as the patterns we continue to have.”
In astrology, what is the first house?
The house of the self is the first house in the zodiac. It houses our ascendant or rising sign and is linked to our self-image, initiation style, and how others see us. It’s akin to making a first impression. Any planetary placement in the First House will have a stronger impact on the individual’s personality. Jane Fonda, for example, has Mars, the planet of activity and aggression, in the First House, which is appropriate for a woman who has no qualms about initiating a fight, taking a position, or publicly discussing her own and others’ sex lives.
Who is the ruler of the 7th house?
The seventh house is often associated with the zodiac sign Libra in astrology. As a result, Venus is its planetary ruler, and it is known as the house of partnerships and relationships. Because the first house symbolizes the self, and the seventh house represents others in our life, its placement opposite the first house on the natal chart makes a lot of sense. It governs every one-on-one connection, which includes lovers, business partners, and even open adversaries, as we will see in the following paragraphs.
In astrology, what do the 12 houses represent?
The houses in astrology are the cosmic equivalent of a crystal ball, only far more reliable. There are 12 houses in the Tarot, each symbolizing a different aspect of life, such as health, money, relationships, and everything in between. Consider the wheel of houses as a sky map, with planets traveling from house to house all the time. Each planet was in a different house when you were born, and those houses may be seen in your birth chart. Because the homes are based on the time you were born rather than the date, you may need to text your parents to find out.
The positions of the planets at the time of your birth (or throughout your life) might reveal important information. For example, if Jupiter (the planet of luck) was in your second house (which governs wealth) at the time of your birth, making money will most likely come easily to you.

What is the Lord of my 7th House?
If you have the Sun as the lord of your 7th house and have an Aquarius ascendant, you will attract authority personalities in your life. As a result, the spouse would be a leader who is confident, successful, and influential. Because the Sun is in the sign of Leo, the spouse will take charge of the marriage, want you to follow his or her example, and inspire you, but there will inevitably be ego issues, which both of you must address maturely. The spouse would have a high social status, be creative, and work in a leadership position, such as a businessperson, a government figure, or a C-level executive.
In astrology, how do houses work?
If you’ve ever looked at your birth chart, you’ve probably seen a picture of a zodiac wheel with twelve sections. You probably simply scrolled down to a list version of your placements because all the glyphs and aspect lines are bewildering. The zodiac wheel, on the other hand, is the actual birth chart! It’s where you’ll get all the juicy details. The 12 astrological houses, each representing a distinct aspect of your life, are represented by those 12 portions of the chart.
Your house is assigned to you depending on the precise time and location of your birth. House systems were devised in modern times to split the zodiac on the horizon line from east to west, metaphorically portraying the sun’s journey through the sky each day. On the zodiac wheel, your rising sign is always on the left-hand side. It signifies the eastern horizon, or, to put it another way, the location where the sun rises each morning. The rising sign always falls in the first house, no matter what house system you’re using (or, the house of the self). The houses are then recognized by turning the wheel counterclockwise from the second to the twelfth dwelling.
Consider a birth chart in the same way you would a tarot spread. The form is provided by the houses, which are similar to the card positions. The content is determined by the moment of your birth and the planets and signs that fall within each house. The houses provide context for the planets and signs, allowing for interpretation.
