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.
“The house in which the sun is located in your horoscope indicates a significant area of life in which you must express yourself and live out your primary life goal.” Astrologer Chani Nicholas

How do I find out what my Moon and Sun signs are?
Your Moon Sign is a reflection of your innermost feelings and ideas. It’s as if you have an internal monologue that expresses all of your emotional demands and sentiments. Check your Moon Sign horoscope every day to observe how it impacts your emotions.
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.”
How do you read a birth chart’s houses?
The Ascendant also displays the ruling planet of the chart. A person with a Sagittarius Ascendant, for example, is ruled by generous Jupiter, but someone with a Pisces Ascendant is ruled by compassionate Neptune.
The Ascendant is used not only to determine our personal geography, but also to design the chart’s unique architecture. The Ascendant’s horizontal line delineates the First House in birth charts read counterclockwise. We follow the sections, or Houses, and begin our ascent to the top of the chart on the right side of the horizon line at the Descendent. Finally, the Twelfth House, which borders the Ascendant to the north, brings the cycle to a close.
The sixth house, ruled by Mercury, is concerned with health and daily routines. “It’s also about service, obligation, and responsibility,” according to Brooks, “so it has to do with the quality of job you perform,” which is why this house is connected with detail-oriented Virgo.
Libra: seventh house
“Libra rules the seventh house,” Brooks adds, adding that this house is all about partnerships. Venus rules Libra and the seventh house of partnerships, which Brooks describes as “love, business, our best friends, or any one-on-one relationship.”
Scorpio: eighth house
The eighth house, according to Brooks, is concerned with “deep psychological processes.” This relationship is also appropriate, given that Scorpio is the sign of death, rebirth, and metamorphosis.
Sagittarius: ninth house
“It deals with where we go to experience something different than what we’re comfortable with,” Brooks says of this place of knowledge and education, long voyages, life philosophies, higher learning, and international travel. Freedom-oriented Jupiter, the planet of luck, intelligence, and travel, is the ruler of Sagittarius, which also dominates the ninth house.
Capricorn: 10th house
According to Brooks, “the tenth house is the house of career, social standing, status, and reputation.” Which sign, other than goal-oriented Capricorn, would be a better match for this house? Furthermore, Saturn, the planet of structure, is the ruling planet of the 10th house, which it shares with the sea goat.
Aquarius: 11th house
Friends, groups, hopes, and goals are all represented in the second to last house, often known as the home of community and good fortune. The 11th house, according to Brooks, is essentially the house of the future, as it is ruled by Saturn and Uranus (the planets of innovation), which also rule visionary Aquarius. That’s why it’s Aquarius’ sign, because “there’s a lot about Aquarius that’s always wanting to better things,” according to Brooks.
Pisces: 12th house
“According to Brooks, the 12th house is the house of secrets.” It’s a secluded house with a connection to mysticism. Pisces is known as the zodiac’s psychic empath, and it is ruled by Jupiter and Neptune (the planet of inspiration), both of whom rule over the 12th house.
What is the sign of the moon for you?
Your moon sign is the zodiac sign in which the moon was at the time of your birth. It’s the soul of your identity, the hidden part of yourself that you may keep hidden from others (unlike your outwardly appearing sun sign), and it accounts for a significant portion of your emotional side.
What are my three major indicators?
In your birth chart, the Big Three are your Sun sign, Moon sign, and Rising sign. Understanding your Big Three is crucial because they serve as a pattern for who you are, what you want, and how you behave.
Is it true that everyone has all 12 houses?
Interpreting your horoscope is a difficult task. In addition to knowing your sun, moon, and rising signs, you must also know the 12 sectors that your chart is divided into, known as houses. Each of the planets moves through a different house in astrology, and each house influences a different aspect of your life. When I initially started learning astrology, it took me the longest to figure out the houses, and one of my major challenges was figuring out what empty houses meant in astrology.
Because there are 12 houses and only 10 planets, everyone will have at least one empty house, which isn’t a problem. Simply put, the empty house in question in your birth chart represents a part of your life that may or may not be as important to you as the houses containing planets. This house may take further steps to fully comprehend its significance in your horoscope (and, of course, in your life), but there is a quick and simple approach to do it.
When looking at a birth chart, many of the planets are generally found in the same house. Mercury and Venus can never be more than one sign apart from the sun, and Mercury and Venus can never be more than two signs apart from the sun. As a result, these two planets are more likely to be found in the same home as the sun, leaving more of the houses vacant. When a house in your birth chart is empty, you’ll just look to the ruler of that house to completely comprehend how its meanings manifest in your life.
