Planets in the Houses: a quick reference
1 min read
A planet in a house describes the area of life where its functions tend to play out. Confirm the birth time and house system before using the matrix: an inaccurate birth time can shift house cusps, so these pages are starting points rather than conclusions about the whole chart.

How to navigate
- Reading the matrix: Choose a planet in the row and a house in the column. Hover over a cell to see its common name, then open it for the house type and interpretation notes.
- The ten planets: Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto.
- House groups: Angular houses (the 1st, 4th, 7th, and 10th) emphasize direct action and visibility. Succedent houses (the 2nd, 5th, 8th, and 11th) focus on building and sustaining. Cadent houses (the 3rd, 6th, 9th, and 12th) involve learning, adjustment, and integration.
- Indexes and overviews: Planet index, House index, Planets overview, Twelve houses.
