Planets in the houses

What the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and North Node mean in each of the twelve houses of a birth chart.

The house a planet falls in says where in life its themes tend to play out. Venus in the 7th house speaks to partnership; the same Venus in the 10th, to work and reputation.

• The Sun in the houses

  In astrology, the Sun stands for identity and purpose: what you want to put yourself into and be recognized for.

• The Moon in the houses

  The Moon describes emotional needs and habits: what helps you settle, and how you react before you've had time to think.

• Mercury in the houses

  Mercury is the way you think, talk and take in information: how you explain things, ask questions and make sense of what you hear.

• Venus in the houses

  Venus stands for affection, pleasure and taste: the relationships, things and experiences you value most.

• Mars in the houses

  Mars is drive: how you go after what you want, deal with friction and spend your energy.

• Jupiter in the houses

  Jupiter is linked with growth, meaning and generosity: the places where you want more room, more knowledge or a wider view.

• Saturn in the houses

  Saturn stands for responsibility, limits and the maturity that comes with time: the lessons that take time and the structures you build to hold things together.

• The North Node in the houses

  Modern astrology reads the North Node as a direction of growth: something that doesn't come easily but moves you forward.
