Planets Through the Houses in Astrology: Meanings Around the Chart

Planets Through the Houses

This page is the main hub for exploring planets through the houses in astrology. While each planet represents a specific type of energy, the house placement shows where that energy becomes most active in the birth chart.

Think of it this way: the planet describes what is being expressed, and the house describes where that expression takes place. The Moon may show emotional needs, Mercury may show communication, Venus may show love and values, Mars may show action and drive, and Saturn may show responsibility and life lessons. The house placement tells you which area of life becomes the stage for that planet’s expression.

How Planets Through the Houses Work

Every planet in astrology represents a different function of life. The Sun shows identity and purpose, the Moon shows emotional needs, Mercury shows communication, Venus shows love and values, Mars shows action, Jupiter shows growth, Saturn shows responsibility, Uranus shows change, Neptune shows imagination, and Pluto shows transformation.

The houses show the major areas of life where these planetary energies become active. A planet in the 2nd House may express itself through money, values, talents, and resources. A planet in the 7th House may become strongly connected with relationships and partnerships. A planet in the 10th House may influence career, reputation, and public direction.

This is why planets through the houses are so important in chart interpretation. They show where each planet’s energy takes shape in real life. Use the planet tiles above to begin exploring each planet around the chart.
