Planets in the houses

The twelve houses divide your chart into areas of life — from self and money to love, career and spirituality.

1st house — Self and first impressions

The 1st house begins at your Ascendant. It describes your body, your instinctive style and the first impression you make on others.

The 2nd house speaks of what you own and value: money, possessions, talents and the sense of worth that supports them.

3rd house — Communication and daily life

The 3rd house rules everyday communication, learning, siblings, neighbors and short trips — the way you move through your immediate world.

4th house — Home, family and roots

The 4th house is your foundation: home, family, ancestry and your private emotional life.

The 5th house is the house of play: creativity, romance, children, hobbies and everything that makes your heart feel alive.
