marriage. It rules your expression of romance and emotions. Venus also rules artistic inclinations, that
is how you visualize art and beauty.

perception of love and art. However when it is in a different zodiac house Venus overrules Sun in the
romantic side.

marriage. You have out-of the box ideas when it comes to love and relationships. You set up your own
rules regarding this and do not bother about others. You make friends easily. But you do not let your
emotions out. You are not that romantic in life and remain aloof most of the time. Yet friends later

private space and freedom when in a relationship. You also give your partners their independence in
life. Usually your relationships succeed on a positive note.

that energy is expended in life. Mars rules one's physical energy and the stamina to do work, your
adventurous energy which has got to do with your sportive ability. It also rules your mental energy

each zodiac house. The placement of Jupiter in your natal chart gives an idea about your attitude
towards religion and philosophy. It also rules prosperity and goodness in life as a whole.
LIBRA

Jupiter placed in the house of Libra makes you a great lover of justice and balance in life. You like
being with those who have your ideas and views about life. Co-operation comes naturally to you, and
you are an able diplomat and peace-lover. You easily win over people around you by your persuasive
power that is in-built. You are apt in making social changes in the society.

Saturn spends around two and half years in one house of the zodiac sky. Hence the placement of
Saturn in your natal chart makes you share certain traits with people belonging to your age group.
Saturn rules the tenth house of profession and career and is lord of the house of Capricorn. Hence
Saturn rules your growth in professional life and the hindrances you might encounter on the way.
Saturn is a planet that takes care of the restrictions and inhibitions in life. The effects of Saturn are
more pronounced when Capricorn is the first house or Ascendant.
With Saturn in the house of Libra, you are much committed to justice and balance in life. Diplomacy
and tact are your key points in life. You like to co-operate with others in your personal and professional
life. But this placement usually causes a delayed marriage in the life of the natives. Only hard work
and commitment shall do betterment with your relationships. You need to socialize much for
betterment in life. This is because at times you feel let down and love seems to be elusive in your front
and solitude bothers you.
Uranus is a planet that represents change, modern technology and innovative thoughts and ideas.
This is a planet that rules progression where conservative and traditional ideas are broken from the
shackles. Uranus is also associated with your intuitive and investigative energies. When not properly
placed in your natal chart it is likely to disrupt your routine life and can cause untold chaos and worries
in life. Uranus is a slow moving planet in our solar system and it stays in a single zodiac house for
almost seven years. Presently it is placed in the fiery sign of Aries.

Its placement in the chart shows the areas in your life where you rebel against and find difficulty to get
along. That particular piece of your life would be totally unpredictable. Uranus takes almost your entire
lifetime to come once around the zodiac sky. That would be around 40 years or so to get to the
opposite house of your birth house and this explains the mid-life crisis we all encounter in our 40's.
This is a planet that helps us to arise and get into action. In general Uranus placement stirs action in
that particular area of your life.

Uranus in the house of Scorpio indicates that the natives are very forceful, determined,
and full of intensity that they pursue whatever attracts them with full vigor and strength.
There is no going back for these people. They have a liking for science and the occult
fields. When Uranus is in this house it might prove fatal for some. Their high intensity of
thoughts and actions are generally channeled towards major changes in the society and
to break off age-old traditions and customs that are unwarranted in this age.

This placement makes the individuals very stubborn, rebellious and aggressive. They
have the guts to accomplish great things in life. There would be no fear in their lives.
Their relationships however would have frequent mood swings. There would be sudden
bursts of emotions in their lives that marriages or relationships are torn down in the same
speed that they were forged. Most of the natives with this placement make great
physicians as they know how to locate and eradicate a source of pain.
When Uranus is in Scorpio, it makes the people very compassionate and possessive as
well. They may need to handle resentment in later life. If they learn to master their life
with a cool composure then there would be bliss in their lives.

Neptune is a planet that is said to be a bridge for each generation connecting it to its fate or destiny.
Neptune influences extra-sensory perceptions and hence is connected with the illusory world out there
and it has to do more with our spirits rather than our physical senses. Neptune rules over our dreams
and visions in life.

If Neptune is strong in your chart then you would have spiritual and mystical pursuits in life. Neptune
also has to do with all sorts of entertainment, the fantasy world in short. Neptune rules over the house
of Pisces. Neptune on the flip side also rules over substance abuse, all sorts of vices, deceits that
might entangle the lives of people.

But then Neptune is also said to bring out the compassionate nature in ourselves and is connected
with divine love and service to humanity. Neptune's effect on us would be subtle and it holds the
mystery or secrets around us.

Neptune takes about 14 years or so to transit one zodiac house. Hence it is said to rule over
generations and it reigns over their nature and core themes and is not concerned with personal lives.
Neptune is in the house of Pisces from 2012 to 2025.

With Neptune in Sagittarius, the natives have great psychic powers and a great sense of perception.
They love freedom and independence in life. Most of them have a better understanding of life but
some might turn too emotional . They love to have fun and joy and adventure attracts them. They are
individuals who crave for idealism in life.

Natives have a liking for a tolerant society and work towards that. However they should not deviate
from knowing reality. If they put in much effort then they can face challenges in life easily. Neptune in
Sagittarius brings about a sense of fear of future or danger in life. Hence natives should steer clear of
all these. Many of them would have reached the higher levels in religion or philosophy. Esoteric
sciences and prophecies also attract them. But natives are advised to remain practical in life. Some
with Neptune in Sagittarius turn fanatics. But if they understand the principles of life and its
consequences then they turn much compassionate in life and work for the goodness of the poor and
downtrodden. They can be easily hoodwinked.

he placement of Pluto in the natal chart signifies the challenges we are to face in life and the
transformation it would bring about. It has to do more with the masses and not on the individual lives.
Pluto denotes the wrapping of the old and the brining in of newness in our lives. Its energy is so mild
as it is far away from the earth, yet it is likely to bring about major changes for the inhabitants of the
earth.

Pluto rules over the secrets in our lives. It is likely to bring about radical changes when the cat is let
out of the box. Pluto also has to do with things that we are holding on to in life which we ought to get
rid off. Pluto means to rule over our past regrets and hurts in life as well. When we let go off them
there would be bliss in our lives.

Pluto in our natal chart rules over our self-empowerment, the power we have within ourselves and
which we have not yet brought to work. This power helps us to evolve in life. Presently Pluto is placed
in the house of Capricorn and would be there till 2024.

Pluto was in the house of Libra between 1971-1984.

Pluto in the house of Libra makes the natives very compulsive in nature. They are hard workers and
put all their might to help themselves and those around. However some are found to be very impulsive
in their acts, they take hasty decisions. Most of them have a conservative approach towards marriage
and relationships.

Peace and harmony is what they aim in life and around them. They strive to achieve by all means.
Justice and diplomacy are their keywords. War, fights and discords hurt them a lot. The natives have a
great liking for arts of various forms. They form a balancing act when they judge people. Compromise
is what makes them like life and they make great lawyers and judges in society.

The 1st house is naturally associated with Aries and its ruling planet Mars. The ascendant is the cusp of the 1st house.
This house represents the area of life concerned with our sense of self identity. Signs and planets in this house reflect
both who we are and how we meet life. It represents our personal identity, and the need to be a separate and distinct
person. The physical body is the material expression of our self identity, and its strengths and weaknesses are
indicated by this house. Another way of viewing the 1st house is as the lens through which we perceive life, and which
colours our view of existence.

Sun in the 1st House

All these qualities should be quite obvious in the way that you come across. You should allow and trust your identity to
shine forth - warts and all. But just because you do wear your heart on your sleeve, you can feel rather self-conscious.
This could then lead to a feeling that all your worst aspects are showing and so you retreat behind what turns into a
cloud. This hiding of your own light must be resisted; otherwise you'd be missing the point of having a naturally sunny
personality that can shed light on whatever you regard as important. At the other extreme you can turn your self-
consciousness into arrogance, which prevents you from taking on board any useful feedback for fear of it being
negative. So whether you're prone to cutting off your nose to spite your face, or perpetually blowing your own trumpet,
I think you'll find that working up an enthusiasm for yourself, tempered with a bit of modesty, will put a smile on the
faces of both yourself and others

Venus in the 1st House

These qualities of love and beauty express themselves primarily in your actual physical presence,
appearance or manner of expression. You are either lovely to look at or pleasant to be with - or both. If
you are the former, your looks could take you far in one respect, but hold you back in another, simply
because you haven't had to do anything other than just be there. This can be very much the case if you
are a female who is past her prime.
Essentially you have the great asset of being attractive - which is just that, i.e. others are drawn to you.
If you have some inner quality to offer as well, then you have the best of both worlds. Your art is the way
you are

Mars in the 1st House

All this is quite apparent in your actual physical appearance or presentation. You put yourself forward quite
spontaneously, or you feel pushed forward even though you'd rather not be. This natural assertiveness can be
negatively or unconsciously expressed in accidents to your head or face, leaving scars. It could be said that your very
identity is what you are fighting for and this could have been apparent at birth, with you bursting out as it were.

In any event though, you do have undeniable body energy, which needs directing into some physically competitive
activity, sport or martial discipline such as karate. If you are not quite so aggressive, but are more pent-up, Tai Chi,
Hatha Yoga or the like would be more

Mercury in the 1st House

This way of thinking and perceiving is quite obvious upon meeting you. You are known for what you say and how you
say it. Your mental attitude is highly important because when you put out a negative idea or remark it will quickly
make others avoid you. Conversely, when your mind is in a curious and active mode, you attract interest and
stimulation and people desire to make and maintain contact with you. Your physical appearance itself is usually slim or
wiry, mobile or fidgety and your hands and face are very expressive. Versatility can be your identifying feature - along
with your wit and sharp perception - but it is crucial that you don't identify too much with these mental characteristics
because, funny and clever as they are, there is far more to you than just your wits and perception. But as they are so
upfront, that is all others might choose to see.

The third house represents a constant search for knowledge and the experience of the
immediate environment. Intellect, communication abilities and style of learning are described by
the signs and planets in the third house as well as the desire to disperse the knowledge acquired.
Going from subject to subject and person to person to find every new bit of knowledge or gossip
is fascinating to a typical third-house person, in addition to talking about what is learned.
Even the style of speaking and desire or reluctance to speak are third-house matters. Whether
information is quickly skimmed or read slowly and carefully is determined by planets and signs in
the third house. A person's confidence level regarding their ability to learn is also described by
planets and signs in the third house. Any kind of networking with people in the immediate
community, and travels around the local community are determined by the third house as these
activities relate to communication and generally involve the exchange of information. The
atmosphere and feelings regarding early schooling are also described by the third house as this
is where people begin their quest for information and learn to socialize and navigate in their
immediate environment.

Moon in the 3rd House...

Similar to a third-house sun position, a third-house moon is extremely interested in their immediate environment.
Judging time, distance and directions are skills which come naturally to a third-house moon as they are
extremely adept at navigating their immediate environment. Any kind of vehicle is paramount for a third-house
moon because it allows them freedom to get around their environment to visit people and places. A third house-
moon is at ease with learning, and finds it comforting. Like the third-house sun, early schooling is a central issue
whether it is positive or negative. This position also inclines a person to communicate their feelings, and lends an
ability to explain their feelings clearly. it gives a bit of detachment to the moon's emotions because it adds an
intellectualism to the moon by house position, but the moon's sign is more influential than this house placement.

As the most powerful house of the zodiac, the eighth house

 represents the ultimate prices we pay in life. The challenge of
the eighth house is to "let go", stop fighting for what you want,
and learn to truly give with an honest soul. This is why it is
about death, taxes, shared resources, and sex. Death is the
ultimate in "letting go". The best sex is experienced when we
give ourselves completely to our mate. Success in the world of
taxes and shared resources is only found with acceptance and
honest dealings. To conquer the eighth house is to accept that
physical death is inevitable and that other symbolic deaths
occur every day. To conquer this house is to accept
that we always have to give to the world and others. Fighting
these things will always result in greater losses. As the last of
the relationship houses in the zodiac, people with strong eighth
houses in their natal charts often experience emotions too deep
for words with an understanding of human nature that is
commonly explained as psychic.
They have lives where relationships are experienced so deeply that they are
sometimes shunned because they provoke feelings which are too painful and
powerful. Eight-house people are both blessed and cursed. They often experience
a great deal of pain because they feel every nuance of human relationships, but
they also have a deep understanding of the pain and flaws in others, which allows
them to compassionately accept people for whom they are. In reality, to enjoy
peace and happiness in the eighth house, a person must be able to let go of any
selfish ideas and ways. Freedom from the pain of this house is found by giving
freely to others by using the gift of deep eighth-house understanding. To prepare
for the universal houses which begin in the ninth house, eighth-house people need
to let go of people and accept that people, and the world have their own agendas
which they cannot control.Often, eighth-house people are interested in and have
an insightful understanding of astrology and psychology.
They are forever intrigued by their insights into the human experience of emotions and relationships. Social
work and counseling are excellent occupational choices for eighth-house people. The deeper reasons behind
events in life and an understanding of the grand schemes going on in the world are sought by those with strong
eighth houses. People with strong eighth houses never believe that events occur in vacuums. There are always
reasons and the eighth-house person is the one who sees the themes and the bigger pictures that others miss.

Saturn in the 8th House...

Saturn in the eighth house finds it very difficult to let go of anything, and although that makes this placement
indicative of a long life, it is often a long life of struggling in intimate relationships. But eventually Saturn
always manages to teach its lesson. The chart holder with this position eventually learns to let go later in life, but
until then, Saturn in the eighth house casts its heavy, worrisome and negative attitude into relationships. The
chart holder feels pressure to enter into initimate relationships, then once involved in them, never stops worrying
about losing the other person. The chart holder always feels that their partner isn't committed enough in the
relationship and doesn't give enough. The stress and depression over this dynamic shows through in the chart
holder's personality and actually drives their partner away, perpetuating the problem for the chart holder. Early in
life, there is often loss for the person with Saturn in their eighth house surrounding their father, or the father is
seen as overly serious especially regarding money, which serves to set up this whole dynamic from an early age.
Money is often lost in relationships and delays in inheritances are found with an eighth-house Saturn. Again, this
represents the difficultly in learning and accepting the natural give and take in life. Those with an eighth-house
Saturn are acutely aware of the long-term obligations that begin with only one gesture. For them, it is better to
refuse a gift or charity than to accept it, because with it, there will be a long-term obligation for repayment. This
placement is excellent for work in finance and banking where Saturn's cautious and serious nature is beneficial.
In relationships however, Saturn must learn to let go of its tight grip on people and money. When Saturn
eventually realizes that more is gained by not holding on so tightly, the chart holder finally finds happiness.

Jupiter in the 8th House...

Lucky Jupiter in the eighth house is truly a gift. Jupiter always gains through others when it falls in the eighth
house of the natal chart, and of course, it doesn't even have to try. It isn't because Jupiter is selfish. Jupiter is
actually generous and giving in the eighth house, and this generosity always finds its way back to Jupiter. The
give and take of the eighth house takes place effortlessly with Jupiter here. Jupiter's freedom loving, universal
outlook on life refuses to get bogged down in intensely emotional relationship issues. Rather, ending
relationships or dead end situations is preferred with Jupiter in the eighth house. Perhaps this is why Jupiter is
usually the recipient of gifts in the eighth house. By not tolerating selfish behavior in others, Jupiter finds itself
in relationships with giving people.

Pluto in the 8th House...

The ultimate match-up, Pluto is at home in the eighth house, but it isn't always cozy. Letting go is
Pluto's greatest challenge, and in its own house, it is really put to the test. Intimate relationships
are taken seriously, often too seriously, and there is difficultly opening up and bringing
relationship issues out of the darkness of the unspoken, and into the light of conversation. Much
of the feelings are unconscious and the chart holder feels compulsions that may be expressed
through verbal or physical outbursts. An eighth-house Pluto can turn every facet of a relationship
into a power struggle until Pluto manages to drive the other person away, or the other person
capitulates under Pluto's pressure. When relationships do end, Pluto still doesn't stop fighting.
Divorces that go on for years with endless fights over money are common with an eighth-house
Pluto. Power struggles with family members or deep losses from a young age are common with
Pluto in the eighth house of a natal chart. These losses and struggles continue to fester throughout
the chart holder's life in all of their intimate relationships. Finding the ability to "let go" of power
in relationships and finding the ability to let life take its course without trying to manipulate it
frees Pluto in the eighth house to find happiness.

You know who you are, but do you ever wonder who you are according to everyone else?
Sometimes these two images of you are quite different. What is your public persona? Are you
seen as successful or unsuccessful? Are you seen as open, popular and outgoing or quiet and
mysterious? These are tenth-house questions, which are answered by the signs and planets
there. The tenth house is where we are completely exposed. We can't hide here. Planets and
signs here are on display whether we want them to be or not. They represent how the world sees
us, what we expect to get from the world and the status we achieve. Using our abilities to gain is
usually achieved through our careers. It can result in money, fame or even disgrace depending
on how things plays out. Even without a career, the tenth house still shows the image of
ourselves we present to the world, how we expect to be treated by the world and what concrete
results come from the interaction we have with the public. Even how your neighbors or the
people at the market see you, and how you want them to see you is still determined by the tenth
house. Here we define our role in the world and work to make it a reality. This culminates into a
public image, which is shown by the signs and planets here. The world sees our tenth house
clearly.

Uranus in the 10th House...

Uranus in the tenth house carves its own path, putting its own desires before its concern over public image. For
this reason, the personas of those with Uranus in their tenth vary greatly, but there is always a detached, off-key
sense of public opinion. This position can lead to fame or notoriety, but it will always be due completely to the
chart holder's motivations and decisions, often making them famous for new and different things or for things
that are unrelated to their career that would normally be kept private. Even when things are going awry in the
public's eye, Uranus in the tenth house stays on its chosen course. The public often sees these chart holders as
stuck on a one-way street. They are determined and have intense faith in their chosen paths to success. Then,
when a sudden change occurs in the chart holder's life, it is very news worthy and causes a stir.

How do we define ourselves in contrast to all the other people? How do we stand
out from the group? What do we offer the group and what do we gain from the
group and society? These questions are answered by the planets and signs in our
eleventh house, the house of interacting with society at large. We offer our talents
and skills for society to use for its benefit, and in turn, we profit and gain from what
we offer, making this the house of gains, hopes and wishes. In the most practical
sense, this is where skills we have developed and have hoped to gain from are put to
use in the world and their value is clearly defined by whatever profit we gain from
society's use of them. Also called the house of friends, the eleventh house describes
friends in the broadest sense. Is friendship important to you? Do you have many
friends or few? The actual dynamics of close, one-to-one friendships belongs to the
seventh house. The eleventh house is our view of friendships in general and our
ability to navigate in social settings and gain acquaintance type friendships. Gains
through social networking, an ability to influence groups, and working with groups to
enact social changes are all found in the eleventh house

Neptune in the 11th House...

Those with Neptune in the eleventh house can find it difficult to determine where their individuality ends and the
group begins. They should beware of getting swept into group movements because it's easier than finding their
own way and it makes them feel accepted. They can be drawn into the compassion the group seems to offer. Yet,
when the group fails to pull them up from every crises they encounter, they feel disappointed and disillusioned.
They enjoy getting lost in the group, but should remember that the group has its own energy and mission which
is separate from any individual. Neptune, having a dual nature, is also a master of understanding this group
energy. Even when they are enjoying the non-personal abyss of being lost in the group, these people have an
uncanny ability to see hidden agendas in the social missions and picking out conspiracies in group movements.
These chart holders understand the relationship between the individual and society and are able to feel
compassion toward those who get lost in the middle.
