THE FIRST HOUSE IN ASTROLOGY: YOUR
APPEARANCE AND HOW OTHERS SEE
YOU
Watch The First House of Astrology on YouTube.
The first house is the most important part of your natal chart because it determines in which
houses all the rest of the signs and planets will be located. An ascendant is its starting point,
which concerns your appearance, health and vitality.
Most people only look at their sun sign, but actually your ascendant is very important to
understand as well. The sign in which the ascendant is located determines your physical
appearance and how in general you appear to the world, whilst your sun sign indicates who you
really are, though this might be different to how you are seen by others.
For example, if you have your ascendant in Scorpio, it will make for a powerful and secretive
personality. The native is likely to have a prominent nose and shapely eyebrows. He will have
lots of magnetism, and people will be sexually attracted to them.
If your ascendant is in Sagittarius, you are an eternal student and teacher. If your ascendant is in
Libra, it gifts a beautiful appearance. If your ascendant is in Taurus, it will again give a
beautiful appearance, especially a lovely face, as well as the desire to gain material goods for
comfort. It will also gift the love of that which is beautiful, as Taurus is ruled by the planet
Venus.
THE INFLUENCE OF PLANETS NEAR THE ASCENDANT
Planets located near the ascendant influence your appearance too. Therefore, planets located in
the first house alter the classic appearance that each zodiac sign gifts.
The planets that are located in the first half of the first house will influence your appearance the
most, while those located in the second half will influence the way you act and think.
For example, if you have Mercury located in the first half of the House, you will be one of
those people who can look very different every day, and you will have both male and female
qualities perfectly blended together, as the planet Mercury is both male and female.
THE STRANGE INFLUENCE OF MERCURY
I will tell more about how each planet will alter a person’s appearance a little later, but here I
should only note that when it comes to Mercury, it’s greatly influenced by any other planet near
it, to the point that it takes the other planets’ qualities completely.

Thus, a pure Mercury influence can be fully felt only if it stands 7 to 12 degrees away from
other planets, degrees depending on each planet as all of them have a different orb size.
Also, and this applies to all the other planets too, you should pay attention to how the planet is
influenced by the sign it’s located in, as it sometimes is greatly neutralized by a disagreeing
sign, and sometimes it’s made more powerful by the agreeing sign. To do this, you can consult
this table of planets in exaltation, detriment and fall:
WHAT DISAGREEING PLANETS DO TO THE PERSON’S APPEARANCE
It’s important to keep in mind that disagreeing planets, or the ones whose qualities are
very different, will produce a mixed type of person. For example, Saturn is a planet of
restriction, so it can keep a person’s body slender.
But if Jupiter, the planet of expansion, is also located in the first house, it can cause some
weight gain. So the mixing, or harmony, between the sign of the first house and the planets
located there (if there be any) will produce the specific appearance of a person.
Here are some other significations of the first house, apart from the appearance and general
behavior:
• It can represent the head and face of man, and injuries that might be done to those areas
or marks located in those places.
• In horary astrology, a branch of astrology that uses horoscopes to answer all sorts of
questions, the first house may signify the masses, a general state of the country about

which the inquiry is made.
• This House also represents memory, one’s likes and dislikes, mental and moral
tendencies, and even native’s health throughout life (health is also assessed by looking at
the Sixth House). The first house can give an accurate indication about the duration of
one’s life as well.
(The quality of the last years of a person’s life can be seen by assessing the Fourth House
whilst the way that one will die – the Eighth.) Possible accidents are indicated in the first house
also, especially those that might affect the head as I told already.
WHAT THE FIRST HOUSE STANDS FOR
In general, the first house can be described as the House of Self. It shows who you are and your
life in summary, so to speak.
It symbolizes your mannerisms, style and your temperament. This is the House of your outward
behavior and how the world perceives you. It speaks of how you act in public and how others
see you.
It shows what you want in life and how you go about achieving it. This House serves as a lens
through which all the other Houses are interpreted.
Here are some characteristics of planets located in the first house, together with examples of
planets located in the first house of various celebrities.

THE SUN IN THE FIRST HOUSE
Behavior: firstly, it’s important to note that having Sun in the first house is a very positive thing
unless it is in close proximity with other planets. Because if it’s close to other planets, then it
will burn that other planet; which means that the influence of that planet will be weakened to
the gain of the sun. So, for example, Venus close to the Sun would mean that the person may
use sex to succeed in career. As you can see, the qualities of Venus are abused. They aren’t as
important to the native as the qualities of the Sun.
With such a Sun placement, it’s very important for you to express yourself. You will feel
fulfilled in life if you learn to become a good example for others to follow. By your good
example people will feel inspired and energized to change their lives.
You should use your determination to leave your mark in this world, and it’s very likely that
you will not be happy with anyone helping you, because you want to make success out of
yourself only through your own efforts. This drive to succeed independently gains you respect
of others, which you love to feel.
You like to stand out from the crowd. You are likely to study many subjects so that you are
considered knowledgeable and admired by others. If the Sun is well-aspected, it’s likely that
you had pleasant childhood and this healthy environment helped you to develop yourself in
later years.
Sun located at a safe distance from other planets gives a native a shining and beautiful
personality, lots of self-confidence and great leadership abilities. People tend to want to follow
such leaders because they perceive light in them. Natives are likely to have clearly defined
ambitions and the ability to achieve them.
The person sees life as a game to win, and if the Sun is located in a fiery sign, the native’s drive
and energy are even more heightened. There is a risk of too much self-confidence and
arrogance with such a placement. Although self-confidence is a good trait, one should also
practice humility and try not to be domineering.
There is a big need to express oneself and shine like the Sun to be adored and loved by others.
This adoration and a great follower count is what builds the native’s self-confidence. He is as
unique as the Sun and dislikes following other people or trends of any sort. He is in his own
league.
Because he is so self-confident, courageous and optimistic, he is likely to achieve great heights
in his career even at a young age. Excellence at school, from a very early age, is very possible.
He is likely to get smarter faster than other children and achieve great heights in his career very
quickly.
He tends to spot and seize opportunities and be generally lucky in life. Good aspects to the

planets Venus and Jupiter further increase his warm personality and magnetism. It’s not so
much what he does but who he is that wins people’s hearts. Like the Sun, such individuals
cannot pass unnoticed.
Appearance: Sun in the first house gives a large, strong, tall and well-proportioned body; a
round and large forehead, large, piercing eyes. It gives good health, ruddy complexion, often
blond hair and the tendency of hair loss in later years.
A native tends to quickly recover from illnesses and accidents, even when his Sun isn’t well
aspected. It’s likely that the native will pay a lot of attention to the body, and therefore the body
will serve him well even in old age.
With such a placement a native is likely to look similar to his or her father; the father is likely
to be a role-model.
Here are some celebrities with Sun in the first house:
A prominent and afflicted Sun can make a person domineering, arrogant, proud, and a hater of
all people. His judgement will be wrong, he will be restless and troublesome.
He could become a spendrift and may become financially dependent on other people; but he
will think others to owe him for the kind of person that he is. He is also likely to crave for
admiration and then get unhappy that he doesn’t receive it, not understanding that admiration
has to be earned.

THE MOON IN THE FIRST HOUSE
Behavior: You are likely to be moody and emotional, but this isn’t always the case because it
depends on which sign the moon is placed in. For example, if Moon is in Capricorn, you will
be able to control your emotions and will appear self-composed to the world.
You are intuitive and sensitive to your environment. The approval of others matters to you. If
something deeply upsets you, you may turn to food to heal your hurt heart.
Emotional ups and downs will be considerably reduced if Moon is located in a fixed sign
(Taurus, Leo, Scorpio or Aquarius).
You are likely to go by your feeling and intuition rather than by your thought. You may feel
what others are about, and you tend to avoid individuals that wish you ill because you feel their
bad vibrations.
The Moon located in the first house may make the native quite passive, unless there is a strong
masculine planet located nearby or is in a positive aspect with the Moon. The behavior is likely
to be quite changeable and dependable on the phases of the moon. Sometimes for no apparent
reason the native can be moody for a few days.
A man with Moon in the first house will have some feminine characteristics but not to do with
sexual orientation. In general, natives with the Moon in the first house will tend to have a
strong relationship with their mothers and have may some of their characteristics. They tend to
be easy to manipulate and tend to like darkness and moonlight.
In relationships, physical affection and the feeling of safety is very important. The natives tend
to be romantic and are likely to buy many gifts for their lovers and show their affection in other
ways. They are psychic and can understand others without talking to them. They usually get
prophetic dreams. They find it hard to hide their emotions.
If the Moon stands alone in the first house, or away from other planets, it’s likely that such
people will not want to become independent but will enjoy being dependent. They will prefer
following others rather than having others follow them. If the Moon is afflicted, this presents
danger because the natives may start following wrong people or ideologies and take on
negative qualities as a result.
With the Moon in the first house it’s important to learn to set boundaries between others, your
environment and yourself. Also, for those who are overly influenced by the Moon, it’s
important to emotionally mature and not make decisions based on emotional highs or lows;
because seeing life through those emotions doesn’t allow them to see the way it really is.
Appearance: the Moon usually gives a beautiful stature, fluctuating weight, white or light
complexion, dark hair, round face, grey eyes and much hair. Natives like to change their

appearance and style often and tend to follow fashion trends. Usually one eye is larger than the
other, hands are short and plump, and in general the body is likely to be plump. The native
might be rather slow.
Here are some good examples of celebrities with Moon in the first house:
(The first and third examples especially show the classic white complexion given by the
Moon.)
A bad lunarian is someone who hates work, is very lazy, is of a changeable temperament and
who has no ambition. If the Moon is badly aspected, they might be hysterical and overly
emotional, and those phases will come and go with moon phase changes.

MERCURY IN THE FIRST HOUSE
(Keep in mind that Mercury takes on the qualities of planets close to it.)
Behavior: You live through your mind rather than feelings and emotions. You analyze
everything that happens to you and your logic isn’t clouded by your feelings.
You are quick, like variety, and are restless and always active. You love discussing ideas with
others, reading books and finding out information about topics that interest you. All your life
you will be learning new things to expand your knowledge.
Because of your open-mindedness and the ability to adapt, you usually look younger than you
really are. You love engagements which keep your mind active. You accept challenges that help
to develop your intelligence. You process information and learn new things quicker than most
people.
You like to study other people and analyze their behavior. You tend to speak a great deal and
it’s dangerous to entrust any secrets to you. Sometimes you talk all the time without allowing
others to express their opinions.
Appearance: Mercury gives a straight, lean, tall body; high forehead, narrow and long face. It
may gift a long nose and beautiful eyes. For men, a sparse beard but voluminous hair on head is
something to be expected. In general, it causes long arms, fingers and hands.
Here are some good celebrity examples of Mercury in the 1st house:
(David Beckham has his Mercury at the last degrees of the twelfth House, thus mercurial
qualities are carrying over into the first house.)
A bad mercurial person is a classic long-fingered thief, especially if Mercury is badly aspected
by Mars. They are usually way ahead of others in thinking because their ability to think is very
quick. Often, however, this ability is used for evil if Mercury is afflicted.

VENUS IN THE FIRST HOUSE
Behavior: Venus in the first house makes you charming, beautiful and friendly. You are likely to
be sensual and have some artistic talent. You may love music, poetry and other forms of art, as
well as beautiful surroundings and everything that is pretty.
You like making new friends, but you also feel the need to meet the expectations of others
which might make it difficult for you to accept who you really are. Self-acceptance is important
if you want to be at peace with yourself.
You tend to be polite and sensitive with others, which wins you friends.
If Venus is positively aspected, it makes you kind-hearted and able to get along with all sorts of
people. You are likely to have a great sense of style and spend quite a lot of time in taking care
of your appearance. If, however, Venus has an aspect to Uranus, it can make your personal
style a little strange.
If a man has Venus in his first house, he will be gifted with some feminine qualities or it might
make him into a womanizer, especially if Venus is negatively aspected. If Venus is badly
aspected by Pluto, such a man may be stalked by women and experience other obsessive
behaviors from them.
Relationships, especially love relationships, are very important for people with this placement.
They will not like to find themselves alone for a longer period of time.
Although usually people with this placement are aware of their beauty, this might not be the
case if Venus is badly aspected. So, for example, instead of seeing the whole picture, they will
focus on some small thing they consider unattractive in their appearance.
Sometimes such individuals can even choose to have a plastic surgery done to correct a
perceived fault, but that isn’t usually the case. What mostly happens is that they just complain
about their perceived unattractive qualities.
Sometimes they have problems with self-esteem and raise too high standards for themselves.
They usually want to be liked by everyone and suffer greatly if someone dislikes them.
A possible difficulty with this placement is inactivity. You may lack motivation and ambition to
achieve, and you tend to wait for things to happen without taking any action on your part.
Appearance: Venus in the first house gives a beautiful well-shaped medium stature, fair
complexion but not as fair as the one given by the Moon. It gifts beautiful eyes, round and
plump face, voluminous hair. It gifts a well-shaped mouth, often dimples in cheeks.
Good examples of celebrities with Venus in the first house:

(Angelina Jolie has her Venus at the end of the Twelfth House, which means that its qualities
are carried over into the first house as it’s very close to it.)
A bad venusian is a classic Don Juan – a person given over to sensual dissipation. If Venus is
located in the Pisces sign or has an aspect to the planet Neptune, he is is likely to not see life
for what it is and be unable to see his own self in real light as well. So, for example, a person
might be very beautiful, but will perceive himself as unattractive.
Also, quite a lot of people with Venus in the first house have narcissistic qualities.

MARS IN THE FIRST HOUSE
Behavior: A dynamic, assertive and impulsive personality, sometimes to the point of aggression
or the tendency to be rash in action. He is likely to be fearless, with energy reserves impossible
to fully use up, straightforward and independent.
Independence is very important to him and he feels the need to dominate his immediate
environment. He tends to see life as a battle field, and tries to win the game of life. Mars makes
him open, honest and intuitive. He is not afraid of challenges but wants to take them on to
emerge a winner. He is very likely to achieve his desires.
He probably likes martial arts and sports. It’s very important with such a placement to learn to
control the explosive energy and to channel it into something useful. If native’s environment
doesn’t stimulate him, he is likely to want to change surroundings for more variety.
These individuals can accomplish in one day more than others, but that doesn’t mean that they
cannot be procrastinating. They may tend to delay doing things that don’t interest them. They
may resent people for being slow, yet they should keep in mind that it’s them that are very fast,
whilst most people cannot be as energetic.
They are likely not to listen to the advice of older people and if their Mars is badly aspected by
Saturn, Uranus or Pluto, the native is at risk of developing self-destructive behaviors. In
general, they should strive to control their aggressiveness because if they allow it to have its
way, it can destroy their health as well as cause problems to other people.
Women with Mars in the first house will be good at succeeding in occupations usually
associated with men. They will have a lot of masculine qualities which will make them master
masculine fields of work. If Mars is afflicting Venus or Uranus, it means the person may prefer
the other sex or may be domineering in relationships.
Natives with Mars in the first house should take care not to injure their head and face. They are
prone to high fevers when sick. They in general should guard against injuries of all sorts due to
Mars influence towards rashness and high self-confidence. Nevertheless, even if they are
injured, they tend to heal very fast.
Appearance: Mars near the ascendant gives energy and dynamism, a medium stature, athletic
and strong body, large bones, greater tendency towards leanness than weight gain.
It can gift a round visage, ruddy color, curling, sometimes red hair. Piercing eyes, confident
countenance, fearless and active disposition can be the gifts of Mars as well.
Good examples of celebrities with Mars in the first house:

A bad martian is a classic a classic trouble-seeker or a violent criminal.

JUPITER IN THE FIRST HOUSE
Behavior: Jupiter usually influences people to be happy, optimistic, moral, generous and they
tend to have a good sense of humor. They will tend to attract with their happiness many people
into their lives. Also, since Jupiter is a very positive planet, it brings a lot of luck to the native
in all areas of life.
You are likely to do everything in a big way, as Jupiter is the planet of expansion. You are
likely to love traveling, or at least reading books about travels. This need for exploration can
also be fulfilled by exploring the mysteries of the universe or uncovering occult secrets.
Sometimes the native spends more time abroad than at home with such a placement.
You tend to inspire people and have the ability to stand on your own feet, and therefore this
influence of Jupiter should definitely be used to the fullest to become completely independent.
Jupiter also gives you an ability to fully support yourself financially and in other ways.
Sometimes natives with this placement tend to be over-confident and lazy. They can be self-
indulgent and over-generous sometimes which can make them to be taken advantage of. Since
Jupiter is the planet of higher learning, law and religion, natives with such a placement might
take great interest in any of these subjects.
Jupiter also gifts a great ability to recover from disease, great vitality and usually a long life.
The native is best described as benevolent, and this beautiful quality attracts many people to
him or her.
Appearance: if Jupiter is not afflicted in the first house, it can give the body that’s more plump,
a beautiful complexion, oval or long visage, high forehead and large eyes, as well as the
tendency of baldness in later age in men. If it’s near the ascendant, observe which sign it’s
located in and what body part that sign represents; because Jupiter will tend to make that body
part beautiful.
Since Jupiter is the planet of expansion, weight problems may appear in natives with such
Jupiter placement (in the House of Self). The closer this planet is to the ascendant, the more
likely the person to have weight problems.
Good examples of celebrities with Jupiter in the 1st house:
(Rihanna’s birth time is not confirmed yet it’s listed as having Jupiter in the first house. It’s
likely since she easily gains weight. Whitney’s Jupiter is away from the ascendant but still in
the first house (conjunct the Moon.)

It’s tough to find very bad jupiterians, but an afflicted Jupiter may make one a spendrift, may
influence one to be arrogant, hypocritically religious or a religious extremist. It may give
negative qualities of ignorance and carelessness. Natives may be intolerant and dogmatic and
they might look down on the belief systems and negative qualities of others.

SATURN IN THE FIRST HOUSE
Behavior: a native will be restricted in some way and he will need to learn to function in
harmony with those restrictions to reach ultimate fulfillment. He is likely to be inhibited,
serious and reserved. There is air of nobility is felt around him, and he tends to be cautious in
almost everything that he does. This makes him miss opportunities that come his way, because
he thinks about what action to take for too long, and the opportunity goes away.
He is likely to be shy and prefers stability over excitement. He likes structure and doesn’t mind
working hard. He is reliable and self-disciplined. Sometimes life forces him to work from a
very early age and become an adult too quickly. The second half of life tends to be easier than
the first.
He is likely to become a workaholic. If he doesn’t break out of that inhibited nature, he is likely
to be a magnet of troubles. It will help to break through if he lowers his expectations about
himself and others, because they are are likely to be unattainable. Also, it’s important to
cultivate optimism so that Saturn doesn’t draw him into melancholy.
With Saturn located in the first house a native can also be quite domineering, and generally
unable to see another’s point of view. It’s important to fight this trait by learning to accept the
differences of others, and to strive to be more flexible when it comes to working with other
people.
If Saturn is badly aspected or is in a disagreeable sign, it’s likely that childhood was very
difficult and unhappy. They were usually restricted in some way by their parents, like about not
showing how they feel to the world. Parents are likely to be strict, conservative and sometimes
religious extremists. They are likely to have experienced bullying at school too. Often this
placement indicates that the birth experience of the native was difficult.
Natives will feel better after the return of Saturn to its natal position, which takes place at
around 29 or 30 years of age. Then the native is likely to come out of that oppressive shell and
be more who he really is.
People are strongly advised against marriage before the age of 31 with this placement, because
only after Saturn return will they really understand what they want from life. In love
relationships, he is likely to attract older people, especially if Saturn opposes some planet
located in the seventh House of union. Relationships tend to be long-term, sometimes lasting a
lifetime.
Having Saturn in first house shows that you have a karmic debt to pay from your previous
lives. When they are repaid, Saturn blesses you and the life improves considerably.
Although Saturn is considered a malevolent planet, if you have this planet in your first house
and it’s located in an agreeing sign, as well as positively aspected by Jupiter, Sun or Moon, it

actually promises good body constitution and usually a long life. A good aspect to Mercury is
also very favorable.
If it stands alone in the House, and it’s located in a disagreeable sign, then it can give problems
with health and a reserved and cold disposition. (I’ve already provided a table to check if signs
agree or disagree with planets above.) If it’s badly aspected to Neptune, you may dislike people
in general.
Appearance: Saturn gives a downcast look, small and sometimes dark eyes, often dark circles
around eyes, short stature and slender figure.
Good examples of celebrities with Saturn in the first house:
A bad saturnian type is a classic dark person who hates the world and doesn’t mind doing evil.
He can do evil for no reason, unlike a bad martian who would do evil from some human
passion. A bad uranian could, like saturnian, be mean for no valid reason (Uranus is the father
of Saturn in Greek mythology).

URANUS IN THE FIRST HOUSE
Behavior: Uranus in the first house makes a person individualistic and rebellious against
established institutions. They will love freedom more than anything else. If Uranus is in your
first house, people think you to be totally unpredictable – because you are! People find it hard
to label you in any way, as you are undefinable. Your mind is restless and powerful, you are
interested in technology, and your life is full of unexpected events.
When Uranus is well aspected, you will experience many events that seem lucky, and if it’s
badly aspected, you will experience quite a lot of bad luck. You like to shock people with your
appearance because this helps to break preconceived notions of the masses. You are often
interested in the occult, science and technology.
Often people with Uranus in their first house become activists for some cause to change the
masses. They might like being with people, but they are well-aware how different they are, and
this can make them feel alone even when in a company. They will do well in the field of
technology.
Their lives are usually filled with sudden and extreme changes that can be positive or negative.
They usually do everything differently to how the masses act. It’s very likely that they will not
want to get married as they will not believe in the traditional establishment of marriage.
Appearance: If you have Uranus located in the first house, the closer it is to your ascendant, the
more you are likely to dress in a way that is very unusual, and your style will in general be very
unconventional. This is because by dressing this way you want to show that you stand against
fashion and stereotypes. If Uranus is located in the twelfth House, this uniqueness will be more
manifested in the way that you think rather than in the way that you dress.
Good examples of the first house Uranus celebrities:
An ill-aspected Uranus makes one overly eccentric who is likely to be considered really weird
by others.

NEPTUNE IN THE FIRST HOUSE
Behavior: Neptune makes you compassionate and very sensitive to your environment. People
think you to be mysterious. You may have musical ability.
However, this planet also makes you less protective from negative influences. People with this
planet in their first house risk detaching from reality, so it’s very important to avoid any mind-
altering substances, especially if Neptune has bad aspects to Mars, Pluto, Saturn or Uranus.
It’s very difficult to figure out the person with this placement. Even his eyes cannot reveal who
he or she is. Neptune can also make a person blind to his or her negative qualities and in
general if Neptune is in a bad aspect to some planet, that’s where the person will not be able to
assess things correctly.
For example, if Neptune is squaring or opposing Venus, the person might choose wrong
partners in life and will tend to idealize them/not see them for who they really are.
With strong Neptune in the first house there might be disharmony between your needs, as the
first house is all about Self and your own needs, but Neptune encourages you to dissolve the
ego so that there are no boundaries between the Self and the environment.
This makes it difficult to develop and understand your identity. With such Neptune placement
it’s not advisable to judge about yourself from the way that others think of you, but instead you
should be more protective of your energy so that you yourself understand who you are (as
being without boundaries makes you take on the qualities of others, which makes you not
understand yourself).
With such a placement it’s vitally important to choose friends wisely as you tend to take on
their qualities. It’s most important to avoid people who are addicted to alcohol or drugs,
because with your Neptune placement it’s very dangerous to take mind-altering substances.
Great sensitivity to the people and the environment could be a blessing too; if you strive to
spend time in the environments that you like and spend time with or at least watch videos of
those people who have excellent character features, you will take on those pleasant qualities
from them for sure.
Often an individual with Neptune in the first house lives an unstructured life, has many vivid
dreams, and they tend to live in their own dream world. They usually cannot be put into any
archetype and cannot be defined in any way; they often change their personalities because they
absorb many influences from their environment.
These people have gates wide open to other worlds; they understand what other people feel,
and they are at risk of being spiritually abused, so they should be careful in setting boundaries.
They should avoid any hypnotic treatments as they are susceptible to being hypnotized more

than others, and this can be used to their disadvantage.
These people need a lot of time alone, to recover from feeling so many different energies of
others. This will also allow them to understand and feel the boundaries of their personalities
and to understand who they are much more than when they are surrounded and attuned to
people around them. They also need more sleep than others to fully recover.
Appearance: Neptune close to the ascendant in the first house gives the native hypnotic and
dreamy eyes, like seen from the celebrities below. Usually it gifts beautiful appearance in
general.
An afflicted Neptune can make one lose touch with reality and live in a dream world, or
become addicted to mind-altering substances.

PLUTO IN THE FIRST HOUSE
Behavior: Natives will have a very strong will power, and if they desire something, they would
do everything it takes to get it. They are likely to make drastic changes in their personal lives,
to do with the Self or the change in location. Their explosive intensity can be used either for
good or evil. Sometimes they may destroy people with that intensity used for evil, so they
should be aware of that and be easy on others.
With this placement, it’s very important to express emotions as they come; because if you
suppress them, they might explode with such power that others are hurt too.
You are aware that you hold great power, and your actions cannot remain unnoticed. You
usually do not like to share personal information with the world, and people know that you hold
back a lot. Usually with such Pluto placement you are likely to have had a difficult childhood.
You like to be alone and are often interested in things that the world holds repulsive, scary or
negative. Your main goal is to acquire personal power and various departments of life can be
employed to achieve this goal, such as love, beauty or career.
Appearance: if you have Pluto located in the first house, you will have intense sexual
magnetism on the darker side, and people will find you secretive and intense. Your eyes are
likely to be very intense and magnetic. But again, in all these considerations we also have to
take into account what sign the planet is in, as well as aspects to other planets and what other
planets are in the House.
For example, Pluto in Scorpio in the first house will give a really intense, deep, complex and
magnetic personality, but Capricorn in Pluto will give a less intense personality due to the cold
and calculating nature of Capricorn.
Some of the well-known personalities that have Pluto in the first house are:
A bad plutonian is someone who tries to gain influence over the masses for evil. Many
politicians are bad plutonians.

THE SECOND HOUSE OF ASTROLOGY:
YOUR WEALTH
Watch The Second House of Astrology on YouTube.
The second house concerns the wealth of the native, whether he is going to be rich or poor; it
concerns all the movable goods belonging to the native (whilst immovable property should be
judged from the fourth house) and the native’s safety and security. It also represents basic
necessities.
This house cusp being on the fixed sign indicates a person earning money from some skill.
(Fixed signs are Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius.) The cusp found in a mutable sign
indicates a flexible person able to make money through many talents and by employing various
skills usually without having in-depth knowledge in any particular field, but knowing a few
things about everything. Mutable signs are Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces.
The second house tells you about your ability to handle money as well as your earning power.
It can also show what projects or abilities may bring wealth. Some astrologists believe that this
house also signifies people’s values – what they hold dear.
This house rules the neck when it comes to looking at the native’s health from the chart. In
horary astrology it may signify common people. It’s a succedent house – the one following the
first angular house. Succedent houses hold less importance than the angular houses, though
they are more important than cadent houses.
The best planets to have in this house are either Jupiter or Venus, Jupiter being the best. Jupiter
in this house makes one lucky in wealth. Venus also makes one lucky in wealth, but it
influences one to buy lots of things, and if badly aspected, sometimes things that one doesn’t
need.
Having in this house Sun or Mars will encourage the person to spend money.
The best sign to have in this house is Taurus as it is in harmony with wealth and luxury. Signs
such as Sagittarius or Aries are not as fortune, as the native will tend to have less money and
may have the habit of spending more than necessary or spending on impulse.
Here is the description of what different planets indicate being located in this house.

SUN IN THE SECOND HOUSE
The Sun has a lot to do with your identity and how you see yourself, where you shine in the
world. And if it’s placed in the second house, this means that material possessions are very
important to you and you derive your sense of identity through how much you earn.
Such a placement could indicate a wealthy father, or one born in wealth and taking his material
possessions for granted. If Sun is positively aspected, this financial ease should last a lifetime.
If the Sun is located in the second house, it means that you will never feel happy unless you can
shine in the area of your finances. Which means that gaining wealth is what will make you feel
content and happy about yourself.
Sun is the third most beneficial planet in this house (the others are Jupiter and Venus). It
definitely helps the native to attract wealth, and usually a lot of it. Sun, similarly to the planet
Venus, encourages not only to gain wealth but to spend it too.
So if you look at your chart and follow Sun’s aspects to other planets and in which houses they
are located, you can discover which areas of life will demand most of your wealth. Once you
know this, you can take appropriate actions to prevent too much spending in those areas (if that
creates financial problems, of course).
Having such a powerful luminary placed in the second house makes the native derive their
sense of who they are from their financial well-being. This is especially the case if you find
more planets in the same house. It could even lead to the extreme where the entire life revolves
around bettering one’s financial condition.
If positive qualities of the Sun are developed, such as high morality, the Sun will help the
native to gain even more wealth. And if they are ignored, the native may be even influenced to
use immoral ways to obtain wealth.
With such a placement the native is likely to be the collector not only of things but of people as
well. He may see close friendships as possessions, and may suffer quite a big shock when some
such person leaves his life. His sense of self-esteem, therefore, might be based not only on
wealth, but on being in control of the people close to him.

MOON IN THE SECOND HOUSE
Moon is not a good placement to have in the second house, for it influences the finances to go
up and down. At least an individual with such a placement can be sure that if he experiences
financial losses, he will experience gains as well.
This placement also indicates that the person is emotionally attached to his finances and that he
derives his security through his financial well-being. The native is likely to have inherited this
need for financial security from his mother.
Sometimes the native is financially dependent on his mother or some mother figure in one’s
life. This is especially dangerous for men, because if they don’t learn to stand on their own two
feet they will remain passive characters unable to achieve anything significant.
The moon, especially if in conjunction or aspecting Venus, may influence the native to spend
on items of luxury. A lot of money may be spent on home decor and family. Quite a lot of
money can be spent on food and cooking in general as well.
The native may have his own business and work from home. The occupation may be something
to do with cooking. There might be monthly spending periods where the native exceeds his
financial limit and then suffers until the debt is repaid.
Like Sun in the second house, the native with such a Moon placement is likely to be overly
attached to the people close to him and may see them as his own possessions. The native will
feel equally emotionally attached towards the objects that he likes. It’s very difficult to part
with things that he likes, and if the Moon has many negative aspects, it can create a person who
hoards everything.

MERCURY IN THE SECOND HOUSE
Mercury influences your approach to money to be mental and logical, which is a good thing.
You will have many ideas of how to increase your wealth and are likely to make great
investments. This is especially true if Mercury has good aspects to other planets.
You have a talent to think of ways to make money. It’s likely that you acquired this talent
because of your interest in many things and reading of many books. You’ve absorbed lots of
information and can use it to make money. You are great with numbers and in occupations
requiring the use of mathematics.
If Mercury is badly aspected, it may make the native use his great intelligence to acquire wealth
in illegal ways, such as through stealing. He is not likely to be caught due to his quick mind.
Such people might become teachers, especially those who teach about how to make money.
This is more likely to be the case if there is some aspect from Mercury to the planet located in
the ninth house. And even if Mercury is badly aspected, the native will still be able to achieve
financial success, though not through luck but through much hard work. But if negative aspects
are present, the native must be careful with anything to do with legal systems.
Stock trade is great for this placement and the probability of gaining wealth through some sort
of speculative profession is even greater if this planet is somehow aspected or connected to the
fifth house of hobbies and pleasure.
Such a planet placement also gives the native an ability to make money through
communication or a written word. People with Mercury in the second house are likely to have
great memories and they see business challenges as an interesting game to win, rather than
something depressing.
They aren’t likely to get upset if they lose jobs; they are smart enough to think of ways to earn
money between jobs. They are also likely to have several employments at the same time, or
several means of earning money in general.

VENUS IN THE SECOND HOUSE
I personally find Venus placed in the second house to be the sign of a collector. Sometimes it
can be a collector of women in a man’s chart. By that I mean that the man will have high self-
esteem if he can conquer the hearts of many women, and will usually be possessive towards all
of them, considering them their property. The probability of this being the case increases if
there are Venus aspects or it somehow is connected to 8th, 11th or 5th house.
In general, having Venus in the second house is one of the most positive placements there is. It
indicates financial well-being, and may bring great wealth. Extravagant spending is indicated
as well. You love buying things you consider beautiful. Your spending habits are based on
emotions to a great degree.
If Venus has only positive aspects, this means that the person was born into a wealthy family.
They might love wealth very much, not for money itself, but for what it can do for them. Also,
the native derives his self-esteem through wealth, so he should be careful not to get involved
into anything questionable in order to increase wealth, especially if Venus is badly aspected to
some planet located in the 12th House.
You may become wealthy as a result of marriage or relationships. Sometimes in a man’s chart
this placement indicates that he will gain money through women. You are likely to enjoy luxury
in many ways and you love acquiring things that are beautiful.
Men with this placement in their charts will pamper the women that they love with gifts.
Sometimes gifts are given with some expectation attached. Sometimes money is spend to
acquire friendships. Such a placement might indicate that a man spends money on women who
love him for the money and not for who he is. It can indicate spending money on sexual
favors. For women, this placement could indicate their absolute love of that which makes them
look beautiful.
Acquisition of wealth through arts and beauty is a great possibility with such a placement. The
native will have a great taste of style and will be gifted in finding and acquiring beautiful
objects. Since the native loves to be admired, sometimes he tries to win the appreciation of the
public through the things that he owns. They become symbols of his status and who he is.
In general, unless Venus is afflicted in a great way, this placement gives an easy life when it
comes to finances.

MARS IN THE SECOND HOUSE
Mars in the second house can either signify wealth or can mean a lot of spending. For example,
if your second house is in the sign of Sagittarius, and you have Mars there as well, then you are
likely to spend money impulsively. It’s even worse if the planet Venus conjuncts Mars, because
then you will spend money on things that you really don’t need and your collection of those
things will keep growing.
However, the planet Mars can also provide lots of energy to this house, making you ambitious
and able to work very hard. This would cause you to earn a lot of wealth. It’s also likely that
wealth is the most important thing in your life, and you don’t feel adequate if you don’t do well
in finances.
Mars is ambitious and intense. People with this placement are likely to hate working for others
and will try to succeed in their own businesses. They see life as a sort of war, and when they
win, they also spend money to celebrate their success. They are not likely to lend anything to
anyone as they are possessive of what they own.
They tend to be selfish when it comes to money and might spend it on impulse. Men with this
placement consider their wealth to be part of them, and if they don’t have enough, they may not
even feel fully men. For women with this placement financial security is very important and
they are also likely to be possessive.
Sometimes natives just buy stuff to mark some event in their lives and may not even use that
thing. Also, their desire to possess certain things can be great, and they would do almost
anything in order to gain them. Since Mars is the planet of war, it might make the native
interested in collecting things associated with it. Also, he might be heavily invested in sports.
If Mars is aspected by Pluto, Mercury or Neptune, it might influence the native to acquire
wealth in dishonest ways. Also, if in general the planet Mars is badly aspected, it could mean
that during its transits the native will lose some of his wealth. This especially applies if there
are some bad aspects of Mars to the eighth house. If that is the case, one is strongly advised
against borrowing any sort of money.
To counteract the drawbacks of the planet Mars placed in the second house, a native may
choose to give some of his money to good causes on a regular basis, and to channel the energy
of aggression into sports or similar activities, so that no impulse spending and rash financial
decisions manifest.

JUPITER IN THE SECOND HOUSE
Jupiter in the second house is the best placement there is. It’s even better than Venus, because
Venus makes one likely to buy stuff that he doesn’t need, whilst Jupiter influences the wealth to
expand. Also, Jupiter is the planet of luck, so natives having it located in this house will tend to
be simply lucky in this department of life.
For example, they may be lazy but they somehow end up earning money anyway. They just
don’t seem to ever face lack.
If Jupiter is somehow connected to a malefic, one has to be careful in money matters. For
example, if it’s connected with Uranus, it might be that the native is doing something illegal
and this may result in him being caught. Such temptations must be fought.
If Jupiter is also the ruling planet of your chart (if your Ascendant is Sagittarius or Pisces), then
it means that financial security is very important to you and you even base your sense of self on
it.
Jupiter is the planet of expansion, so if it’s badly aspected, it may make you into a spender. But
in general, this planet is so lucky that you are likely to regain your wealth despite of it being
afflicted in some way. Also, the more you trust in yourself and the more energy and inspiration
you put into your work, the quicker your wealth will grow with such a placement of Jupiter.

SATURN IN THE SECOND HOUSE
Although Saturn is considered a malefic planet, its presence in the second house isn’t
necessarily bad. It depends in which sign we find this planet, as well as what aspects to other
planets it has.
For example, Saturn in Capricorn in the second house makes one serious in making money and
not prone to spending on emotional basis. Cold calculation in love affairs that Capricorn may
give might be something unwanted, but cold calculation in money matters saves the native
from making many financial mistakes.
Other good signs for Saturn to be placed here are: Scorpio, Libra and Aquarius. If it also has
aspects to good planets, such as Jupiter, it even further improves the situation. Then Saturn can
give almost permanent stability in financial matters. Here, of course, an ideal scenario is given,
to show that a negative planet placed in a chart sometimes doesn’t do harm.
Saturn located in the second house can mean that you grew up in a poor family and learned
your parents’ limiting ways of living and being. Instead of increasing your usefulness to the
world in order to afford greater comforts, you were taught to decrease your expenses if you
want to buy more things.
With such a placement you are likely to work hard and spend a lot of time in securing your
financial safety. This can lead to great financial gain, but it would be easier to achieve such
success if firstly poverty beliefs are eliminated. Also, with such a placement the native usually
succeeds later in life, after years of hard work, but the wealth he earns will last.
The native will be careful with his wealth and will not make unthoughtful decisions which put
it at risk. He is likely to save a lot, and may not even spend his hard-earned money to enjoy
himself. Sometimes saving money is taken to extreme and the native turns into a stingy person.
Sometimes the thoughts about money make the native feel depressed, and life becomes
sorrowful. It’s important in such a case to start appreciating small things in life and to find joy
in how you spend your free time or in other ways. Because what’s the point of living if it’s all
about gathering wealth and worrying about possible future lack.

URANUS IN THE SECOND HOUSE
Like Pluto, Uranus (which is the most unpredictable planet) in the second house causes sudden
and unexpected changes in your financial well-being. For example, you might receive
unexpected earnings, but also unexpected expenses.
Financial change is likely to happen when you least expect it, like when everything is going
according to how you want it to.
However, this placement also gives you an ability to make money in the most unusual and
ingenious ways. Also, even if Uranus causes you to lose money, it also gives you adaptability
when it comes to finances and helps you to survive difficult times.
It’s very likely with such a placement that your financial situation often changes. Uranus may
even cause you to lose everything. But it also gifts you an ability to start all over again and
achieve success yet once more.
In general, you tend to use your knowledge in a way that causes you to earn money.
Advertising or putting your innovative ideas into action in some way contributes to your
financial well-being.
You have an unusual approach to money and your belongings in general. You have a possibility
to make money through technology, like designing gadgets or your job having something to do
with electricity or computers.
You are likely to spend a lot of money on newest gadgets and technology in general. You will
want to be the first one in owning some new gadget, and you will easily master new
technology. You might even review newest gadgets or have a blog about technology, especially
if there’s some aspect of Uranus to the ninth house.
If there is a bad aspect to the planet Mars, the native might be robbed or lose money in some
violent way. In general, money isn’t that important for people with Uranus in the second house,
and they are likely to spend it on things that are considered unusual by others. Even if the
native is rich, he may live like a poor person, or in some eccentric way, not paying attention to
how much money he has. In general, there is a kind of detachment from finances.

NEPTUNE IN THE SECOND HOUSE
With Neptune in the second house, the native doesn’t value money and if he could, he would
live without any of it. He has different understanding of how the society should function and
sometimes this involves distancing oneself from money altogether.
The native just doesn’t care about material things, and therefore the topic of money is not
important to him. And even if he has money, he doesn’t pay attention to how much of it there
is, or how much he spends. This makes it easy to sometimes deceive such people, especially if
their Neptune is negatively aspected by Mercury or Mars.
They are likely to spend most of their money on entertainment, including arts. Sometimes even
basic needs are neglected to satisfy the craving for that which is creative and beautiful. A native
may spend all his money in such pursuits, and yet not be too much affected by the fact. Instead,
he would start all over again in saving.
Sometimes the native may create a philosophy of a cashless society or something similar, like
giving up all that he owns or running a self-sustaining farm, especially if good planets, like Sun
and Jupiter, aspect Neptune from the tenth house.
Another thing that can happen with such a placement is that the native will undervalue his
work, and will tend to charge less than what his work is worth. For him, friendship and love is
more important than material considerations, so he spends more money in spreading
philosophies of equality or love than caring about bettering his financial situation.
A negative possibility with Neptune, the planet of dreams and illusions, located in the second
house is that if it’s close to Mars or forms a square with some negative planet from the twelfth
house, this can mean that the native makes money by selling drugs. Since a negative planet in
the twelfth house can mean imprisonment, it is wise for such people to give up all illegal
activities.
Natives with Neptune in the second house are likely to have artistic jobs, but they won’t pay
well. Street artists, for example, are likely to have this Neptune placement. A positive aspect
from Jupiter, Sun or another good planet might cause the native to get more income from such
pursuits.
Since Neptune is the planet of dreams and illusions, natives with its placement in the second
house would do well to consult an expert when it comes to starting their own business or
making some great financial choice. Neptune tends to blind an individual in whichever area it’s
located or to whatever planet it’s connected. So with such a placement the Native is at risk of
making wrong business and financial choices.
Since Neptune is a slow planet, it can bring procrastination into this house. Also, it’s important
to have savings for old age with such a placement.

A native isn’t likely to have steady income, but might do well in occupations such as the sales
of antiques and paintings.

PLUTO IN THE SECOND HOUSE
The presence of the planet Pluto in houses sometimes makes people greedy or obsessed about
that area of their lives. And this definitely applies when Pluto is located in the second house. It
means that money will be very important in the native’s life and he might be greedy for more
and more of it.
Since Pluto is a secretive planet, so to speak, the native with such a placement is likely to want
to keep his financial affairs private.
In childhood the native may have suffered from lack of money, especially if Pluto is badly
aspected by Mars, Saturn or Uranus.This has created a deep wound which the native tries to fill
with receiving and spending of money.
Sometimes such a placement makes people hide their wealth from the eyes of others and never
use it themselves.
Obsessions influenced by Pluto in the second house don’t end with money only. The native will
consider his personal belongings things that he likes and even people that are close to him, and
he will strive to always keep them within his sphere of influence. It’s very difficult for him to
let go of something that he considers his own.
Pluto also may influence the native to get income from secretive, unusual and dark sources,
such as connected with the occult, politics, death, violence, crime, or sex. As Pluto is a planet
of change, death and rebirth, huge financial ups and downs is a big possibility, and the native
won’t be able to prevent or change such events in any way. They are there for the native to
learn lessons rather than to resist them.
This is how Pluto teaches; and if the person learns lessons associated with such catastrophes, he
will be reborn to understand himself and the world better. Also, if the native learns the lesson,
Pluto will cause the inflow of wealth into the person’s life, and sometimes even more of it than
the native had initially. The lessons to learn, however, are going to be tough, like learning to be
detached from money, to never take money for granted, or to put it in its rightful place rather
than make one’s life all about wealth.

THE THIRD HOUSE OF ASTROLOGY:
YOUR SELF-EXPRESSION, SIBLINGS AND
IMMEDIATE ENVIRONMENT
Watch The Third House of Astrology on YouTube.
The third house of astrology concerns your brothers and sisters, neighbors and relatives. It’s
also associated with self-expression, communication, including sending emails. Finally, it
signifies short trips, and whether you tend to stay in one place or move quite a lot. So this
house is about your immediate environment.
The natural ruler of this house is Gemini and the ruling planet of this sign is Mercury.
If a movable sign is located in this house, it means that the native will travel a lot, or in general
will have an active life. But when it comes to travel it’s about small trips rather than long
journeys which are indicated by the ninth house. Movable signs, for your reference, are Aries,
Cancer, Libra and Capricorn.
On the other hand, if you have fixed signs in this house, it means that you aren’t likely to move
about much. Fixed signs are Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius.
Moon is considered malefic in some houses, but in this house, and if it’s located in a movable
sign, it gives an interesting life and many changes and trips. It gives negative traits too, which
you will find listed in the Moon description part of the text.
Here is the significance of planets located in this house.

SUN IN THE THIRD HOUSE
Sun is a powerful placement in any house, and in the third house of communication and self-
expression it will encourage you to shine in your communicative abilities and your creative
abilities in general. You will want to achieve renown through creative self-expression, and if
the Sun is badly aspected, this can even turn to boastfulness or being unhappy that others don’t
appreciate you in a way that you want.
You are likely to have an inquisitive mind and you love seeking knowledge. You know that you
are intelligent, but this can turn into boastfulness if you are not careful. The practice of humility
is very important with this placement.
You are able to express yourself clearly, and you might be a good public speaker. It’s likely that
your siblings or neighbors play an important part in your life. You love learning from your
immediate environment, and you probably were a bright child, able to learn things fast, and
learning to express yourself through words earlier than other children.
You love talking and you are naturally curious, but it’s important not to reveal any secrets
entrusted to you, and sometimes they will be hard to withhold.
You are brilliant at sharing knowledge and teaching people, and the more you do this, the more
your own knowledge and understanding will increase. But never overburden yourself with too
much information, so that you don’t suffer from any mental imbalances.
You may prefer selecting what to study on your own, without getting involved with formal
education. Also, the Sun placed in the house of self-expression gives you optimism and general
positivity. People love spending time with you.
This placement promises many short trips, and the trips will be successful if the Sun is well-
aspected. The native is likely to love driving, riding, cycling, or simply using public transport.

MOON IN THE THIRD HOUSE
It’s a rather difficult placement for the Moon (though it can be very positive as well – please
read further down) and it will influence the native to have his reason clouded by emotion or
how he feels about a situation. It creates people who love living in fantasies, or at least they
indulge in a lot of imagination. It also creates a sort of people who love to discuss things that
aren’t important, like small daily events that don’t matter.
This placement creates people who like changes and who cannot stick to routine for long. Their
feelings and emotions decide how they will express themselves rather than their intelligence.
The native will have a life full of change, especially involving many trips. Change not only will
happen to do with the immediate environment, but also opinions. The native is likely to keep
changing his views and preferences of people to hang out with.
The strength of this placement is similar to the placement of Neptune in the first house, which
is the ability to absorb information very quickly. The native will even be able to copy speech
patterns and the behavior of others, making him an excellent actor.
Moon in this house can gift great skill in arts. This placement sometimes means that the native
has siblings who are emotional and sensitive. Neighbors will be frequent visitors to the house,
and in general the native may enjoy organizing social gatherings in his own home and cooking
food to guests. When interacting with people, the native should guard against (s)mothering
them!

MERCURY IN THE THIRD HOUSE
The third house is an excellent placement for Mercury. This planet gives superior intelligence
to the native and an excellent way of expression through speech or writing. With plenty of
original thinking and a sharp intellect, such a placement creates public speakers and writers.
If Mercury is afflicted in this house, however, the native may use his speech to spread false
information and might experience difficulties to do with legal matters, such as signing of
documents and similar activities. Such a condition of Mercury can also influence people to use
their clever speech to achieve selfish goals in one way or another. They can easily convince
people/win them over to their side, whether Mercury is afflicted or not.
You are likely to be interested in many things and this sometimes scatters your energies,
because you don’t feel like you have enough time to just focus on one thing to the exclusion of
all the other interesting things to learn or activities to try.
More likely than not you have a great sense of humor. You are often surrounded by friends or if
you are alone, you will tend to keep the communication going through text messages, calls or
internet.
You feel best when you move, so you are likely to visit cafes, parks or other public places
rather than sitting at home. Often you will be found walking, driving, or using public transport
as you love to move; and the faster, the better. In general, life is almost guaranteed to be
interesting with such a placement.

VENUS IN THE THIRD HOUSE
You are interested in subjects to do with arts and culture. You are able to express yourself in a
beautiful and elegant way. Since you are gentle in your speech, you may get intimidated if
someone addresses you with a language more on the rough side.
You appreciate literature and poetry, and with this placement you might be a gifted writer or
speaker. You might also have a beautiful voice, if Venus aspects Neptune. There is a danger in
using your excellent speech for selfish purposes, especially if your Venus is afflicted.
From a very early age you loved learning, and probably had a great time at school. You are
likely to have been able to learn subjects rather quickly, or at least those you found interesting.
If you have siblings, you probably get along with them and they might be artists or just of a
beautiful appearance. They might also have quite a few love affairs.
With this placement it’s difficult to be passionately in love because you tend to over-analyze
your romantic relationships. So there’s a lot of thinking going on which outweighs feeling. It’s
important for you to find a person who can listen to you and who is communicative in a
relationship.
Venus in the third house gifts you many short trips and kind siblings as well as good neighbors.
You probably have a loving relationship with people close to you, and you choose your
intimate partners from your immediate environment. Those relationships, however, usually
don’t last long.
A native with this placement will love visiting beautiful places, such as parks, and may feel
depressed if he is deprived of such experiences. Environment is very important to them and
they feel best when in a harmonious place. This love of harmony carries over into other areas of
life as well, and people with such a placement will stay away from impolite people and
arguments.

MARS IN THE THIRD HOUSE
The placement of this planet in the house of communication and self-expression may make the
native love debate, and sometimes he may even get into quarrels. Sometimes the impulsive
planet Mars makes you speak without much thinking, and this may insult and hurt some people,
or cause you trouble.
With such a placement it’s quite easy to make you angry, and you will not spare words when
you are. Another danger with this placement is accidents, especially to do with short trips and
transport. So you should take care when using transport especially driving your car or riding a
motorbike, and be careful when you go out in general. You are especially advised against
speeding.
If you have siblings, you probably were at constant war with them in your childhood. You also
have difficulties with your neighbors, and the disagreements are usually caused by you,
especially if your Mars is badly aspected. If Mars has many bad aspects from other planets, it’s
highly likely that you will start quarrels because you simply enjoy them.
This placement also indicates challenging time at school (maybe you had been bullied), lots of
problems when you were growing up and being raised in a dangerous or troublesome
environment.
You are an impulsive person and tend to take quick actions without fully thinking them
through. If Mars is well aspected, you will be good at making things from iron or dealing with
sharp objects, sometimes the objects of war.
Another good occupation is something that involves motivating other people and making them
take action. Your speech is powerful, and through it you can make people take action. However,
it’s important not to allow Mars to become uncontrollable – you should only say things that
don’t hurt others and don’t cause destruction of any sort. Another occupation that suits the
native is something that requires quick thinking in emergency situations.

JUPITER IN THE THIRD HOUSE
You love gaining all sorts of knowledge and visiting different places. You are interested in
different philosophies and cultures. You love to broaden your mindset and gathering various
pieces of information helps with it. You probably have great relationships with your siblings
and neighbors, unless your Jupiter is afflicted.
You are likely to have many books at home. When you use the internet, you open many tabs
because you want to obtain lots of information in as short a time as possible. The danger here is
the consumption of useless information together with useful. It’s important to be discriminating
so that not to introduce chaos into your mind which will stress you out.
Also, you should take time to stay away from learning new information after the consumption
of much of it. Because your mind needs to process the information it acquired – that’s the only
way the gotten information will truly benefit you and will be able to be applied.
You are happy when you intellectually evolve, and you are likely to maintain good
relationships with people around you. You are an eternal student – you feel joyful in studying
about subjects that interest you.
Your life is full of happy events and pleasant surprises. You take many trips and are active. You
like talking, and you can spend hours chatting directly with friends or via internet or phone.
You probably liked your time at school (unless Jupiter is badly aspected) and you found and do
find it easy to learn new things.

SATURN IN THE THIRD HOUSE
This placement sometimes means that your early education was delayed or you learnt to speak
later than other children; or it can indicate that your speech is slower or you have difficulty in
speaking or expressing yourself. You probably don’t like to speak much, and you express
yourself in short sentences.
You dislike constant interaction and when you are entrusted with secrets, you keep them well.
Your creativity is expressed through determination and discipline. You don’t express yourself
with excitement but with reserve. You are likely to be very intelligent but it’s difficult for you
to express yourself in words. You should work, therefore, on expressing your intelligence
through the spoken word, and this comes only with practice, so don’t be afraid to try again and
again.
Your school experience might have been unpleasant, and maybe your siblings gave you
problems as well. You probably struggled a lot with your homework, and you needed to invest
much more effort to learn new things than other children.
You might have grown up in a restrictive environment which is responsible for your inability to
fully express yourself. You can break out of this restrictive shell if you forgive those who
limited you in your past and experiment with different ways of self-expression. You should try
to overcome your shyness as well.
You are likely to feel that your immediate environment limits you. Saturn in this placement also
makes it hard for you to learn new things, but once you learn them, they are likely to stay in
your head for a very long time – sometimes you will never forget some of the things that you
learnt. Also, the planet Saturn gives you a strong will to complete what you set out to achieve
no matter how hard the task might be.

URANUS IN THE THIRD HOUSE
Freedom is very important to you, especially freedom of self-expression. You don’t want to be
like the masses, and your thinking is very different from the rest. You value individuality and
don’t want anyone imposing their views on you.
Depending on which aspects Uranus has and whether it’s afflicted or not, your different way of
thinking might be either accepted or rejected by the masses. They may praise you for the
brilliance of your mind, or they might think you to be plain mad. Sometimes this placement
creates emotionally unstable people as well.
People usually consider you strange and probably you had difficulties fitting in at school. You
dislike formal institutions such as schools or universities, because you think them to restrict
your freedom. You might rebel against them. You are likely to be against traditions and
established religions also.
Your siblings might be unusual characters too. They might be geniuses or have mental
problems, depending on the aspects of Uranus. Sometimes a completely unexpected separation
or some other shock might happen between you and your siblings.
If your Uranus is negatively aspected by malefics, you may become a magnet to strange people.
But in general people will find you very interesting, and unusual events, sometimes of a
spiritual nature or connected with travel, will happen quite often to you.
The presence of this planet in the third house can make one a writer of occult subjects or an
artist of some sort. Since it’s the planet influencing electricity, technology and the internet, the
native may choose to create a blog about technology, have an occupation to do with these
mentioned subjects, or just have a hobby associated with them.

NEPTUNE IN THE THIRD HOUSE
If you have Neptune in your third house, it means you are a very creative person and will do
best in creative occupations. You might be a poet, astrologer, dancer, painter, actor or a
filmmaker. If there are no other planets who influence you to think practically and logically,
this placement can also produce an artist who is unable to make a living from his talents.
Also, some people may believe you to be mad, because you express yourself in a way that
doesn’t seem logical or is just too different from the crowd. You may find it difficult to fully
express what you mean, because you perceive how limiting the language is.
Because Neptune is a very receptive planet, you can absorb a lot from your environment. This
can be dangerous at times, because you may absorb bad influences, and also Neptune makes it
easy for you to be hypnotized. Such a placement might make you subscribe to false ideologies
as well, and become a member of some religious sect.
You might do well not only in creative occupations but also those to do with exploring the
subconscious mind. You may be able to truly help individuals who are mentally disabled, or
you may be an excellent psychologist.
With such a planet placement it might be difficult for you to focus on one subject, and
sometimes confusion rules your mind. You are better with abstract ideas than with details.
As Neptune is the planet which breaks borders, you are likely to feel brotherly love for your
neighbors and other people close to you. It’s also a planet of confusion, and it can manifest
through your brothers or sisters not being your blood siblings, or through having siblings you
don’t even know of. This confusion also carries over into the area of work, sometimes making
it difficult to stick to appointments or being responsible enough for important positions or the
signing of documents.
With such a placement it may also be difficult to stick to a school schedule, and the native may
daydream during the time for study and might neglect homework. His mind functions in a
different way, and it’s difficult to squash creativity and operate in an ordinary way.
Natives are likely to travel a lot and they should live in places close to some body of water.
They should ground themselves regularly in any way that they can so that they don’t lose touch
with reality, as they love living in their own mentally created worlds.

PLUTO IN THE THIRD HOUSE
You are very influential in speech and the written word. Your communication of any sort
radiates power, so with such a placement it’s very important to choose your words carefully as
they will have a huge impact on others.
It’s likely that your childhood wasn’t easy and in some way you were not allowed or could not
express yourself. This might have led you to accumulate large amounts of knowledge to prove
yourself an excellent speaker or just an intelligent human being. This need to consume
knowledge and prove yourself intelligent is always there.
This restlessness when it comes to self-expression may manifest in too much talking or
obsessions about certain subjects. You perceive some kind of emptiness in the area of self-
expression which propels you to take action to fill it.
Your emotional security is based on this accumulation of knowledge. It’s hard for you to face
the fact that as you grow, your beliefs about things can no longer remain the same. It’s a
challenge because you depend on your knowledge, and letting go of that which you have
outgrown might be difficult.
It’s important not to create problems with your siblings, especially if Pluto is badly aspected.
The siblings might have some dark secrets or obsessions, and the best thing to do is to live with
them in peace. The same advice applies to your relationships with relatives and neighbors. To
avoid destructive situations, it’s best to maintain total peace or to stay away from such people if
you cannot maintain peace with them, especially if your Pluto is badly aspected by Saturn,
Uranus or Mars.
Another scenario could be that gathering of too much knowledge makes you faced with many
opposing views which makes you lose ground. Sometimes mental instability results from this
accumulation of too much information.
With this placement you have a natural ability to obtain through your speech what you want.
People find it hard to deceive you because you know what questions to ask. You know how to
use your speech to your advantage, such as using it to sell something.
Pluto located in this house influences the native to be on his toes when it comes to forming
friendships. He has a deep-seated fear of betrayal, and cannot trust people easily. And he not
only questions people, but everything in general. For example, he won’t get into anything new
or believe anything new until thorough research into the subject is done. This naturally makes
the person very difficult to deceive.
The native is likely to be very independent in self-expression and therefore most of the things
that he knows were not imposed on him but he chose the kind of information he wanted to
learn. It’s difficult for him to be taught by others – he prefers to be his own teacher.

THE FOURTH HOUSE OF ASTROLOGY:
YOUR CHILDHOOD, REAL ESTATE AND
THE END OF LIFE
Watch The Fourth House of Astrology on YouTube.
The fourth house represents your childhood, what kind of relationship you had with your
parents, and it especially represents either the mother or the father, astrologists cannot agree.
I’m personally leaning towards it representing the mother, or at least the more passive parent
who stays at home, whilst the tenth house represents the more active parent, usually the father.
This house represents not only your childhood and relationships with parents, but also how you
are likely to treat your own family too. Its stands for your general home life as well as the
house that you live in.
The fourth house also stands for what your roots are and what you hold dear. It shows were
your emotional security is, and reveals that which you hide from the world. It’s also the house
that tells about your end days – whether they will be peaceful or not, and how you will live the
last years of your life.
Here are the meanings of each planet located in the fourth house.

THE SUN IN THE FOURTH HOUSE
Having this luminary placed in the fourth house makes the native take pride in his roots. He
might feel happy about his parents and the kind of home he was brought up in. The native’s
family might be famous, wealthy and/or aristocratic.
He might be so close to his family that he doesn’t know who he is as an individual. In such a
case it’s important to stay away from one’s parents for some time to understand who one truly
is.
He is concerned with having his own family, because that’s where he feels most at home and
where he shines. He needs a stable family home to feel secure in life.
He will continue his own inherited tradition and will uphold the customs of his parents and
grandparents. He might also uphold not only family tradition but the tradition of his birth
country as well.
However, if the Sun is afflicted here, it means that the native may be boastful about his roots
and unable to get along with his parents. He may try to control his own family.
A possibility with such a placement is that the native may gain some benefits, could be
financial, from his parent(s).
The mother of the native might have been strong and domineering. She might have been
controlling to such an extent that left the native thinking himself to be insignificant. Again,
distance, as well as forgiveness, might make the native understand who he is as an individual.
This placement also promises more wealth and security in old age, whilst at the beginning the
going might be tough. The native may want to invest in property or land, or engage in activities
related to real estate or natural resources. This is going to prove successful if the Sun isn’t
afflicted. Inheritance of lands, homes or businesses is also a high possibility.

THE MOON IN THE FOURTH HOUSE
It’s a strong placement for the Moon and it influences the native to place special importance on
family matters. The native is happy as long as the family situation is good. But if there’s
discord there, the native suffers greatly, to the extent that he cannot be fully functional at work
or concerning other matters.
It’s usually the mother who is the most influential person in your life. You are likely to be
living near the body of water or would like to live near it. Another possibility is living near the
body of water during your childhood.
You like cooking and probably cleaning as well. This love of cooking and an interest in
subjects relating to home life may make you excellent at careers to do with food, interior
design, real estate or housekeeping.
If the Moon is afflicted, family discord and instability of home is expected, as well as frequent
moving houses or other great changes in your childhood. There might be close emotional bonds
with your parents, especially the parent who was more passive and stayed at home. Attachment
to your home and parents will always be there; matters to do with your parents and your
childhood impact your life to a great extent.
You probably talk a lot about your family and share memories about them fondly. It’s a high
possibility that you own items possessed by your ancestors or at least have a collection of old
photographs to do with your roots. Maybe you have a few precious items owned by your
grandparents which you wish to pass on to your own children.
Men with such a placement will sometimes choose wives that remind them of their own
mothers. Unless there are other chart indicators showing otherwise, the native is likely to want
a long-term relationship and avoid any relationship that doesn’t lead to this goal.
Because family matters so much to you, if the Moon is afflicted which means that your
childhood wasn’t harmonious, you are likely to want to quickly start your own family to
provide them the emotional security and an ideal home life that you lacked. There is a risk,
however, that you will end up repeating the same mistakes that your parents did, so there
should be no rush in starting your own family but you should think about it very carefully and
make such decisions slowly.
