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”

- “I will,” says the Sun in Leo’s fifth house.
- Mercury in Virgo, 6th House, “I analyze”
- Venus, Libra, “I balance,” 7th House

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 do my astrological houses mean?
Astrology is limitless. The astrological houses come into action when each of the 12 zodiac archetypes appears in different aspects of your life… but what do houses imply in astrology, anyway? If your horoscope has ever made cryptic assertions about “the houses,” you’ve undoubtedly scanned over it and felt a little befuddled. I, too, was initially perplexed as a clairvoyant astrologer with a lifelong fascination with the cosmos. But now I’m here to assist you.
The astrological houses identify the specific regions of your life to which your horoscope refers. Each house, for example, signifies something entirely different; they decide the many types of people, places, and life events you will face over your lifetime.
In an astrology chart, what are the houses?

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.”
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.
What is the address of my tenth house?
“The 10th house of one’s birth chart is the midheaven,” astrologer Lisa Stardust tells Refinery29. “It represents our public persona, social standing, and professional ambitions. It also outlines our life’s purpose and what we may contribute to society.”
Is it true that everyone in astrology has 12 houses?
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 address of my fourth home?
This home represents your physical, psychological, and historical origins. It is your current living condition, as well as your past, childhood, family, and family line. Do you intend to relocate, improve, or renovate your home? Are you motivated to strengthen your life’s foundations? This is what transits through the 4th house activate. This house also contains one of the four essential angles, the IC or Imum Coeli.
