Jupiter

Jupiter in House I gives warmth, positivity and generosity. But, unless Saturn is strong in
the chart there is unlikely to be much in the way of self-discipline and staying power.
This placement can also encourage judgmental attitudes towards the views and lifestyles
of others. A person with Jupiter in House I puts new experiences before stability and
although this placement, unless retrograde, creates a fondness for comforts of all kinds.
There will be nevertheless a preference for quality of life above material security - a
choice that the Jovian will give the status of a moral principle. Jupiter in House I,
especially when it is near the Ascendant, creates a large frame, which in combination
with self-indulgence, which tends to go with a House I Jupiter, is liable to create weight
problems.

Mars

With Mars in House I a person projects himself forcefully and usually with little regard
for others. The sign in which Mars is found indicates the form which assertiveness takes.
A person with Mars in House I defines himself according to his desires and is capable of
rash and wilful behaviour as he goes in pursuit of them. An explosive temper is common.
Physical hurt, particularly to the head, is frequently the result of impetuosity. According
to Sepharial, a scar on the face is a distinguishing feature of people with Mars in House I
who also tend to walk in a distinctive manner with the head thrust forward. Unless Saturn
lends its influence, Mars in I, especially close to the Ascendant, gives red hair, the
intensity of the colour being in direct proportion to the proximity of Mars to the rising
degree.

Mars

With Mars in House 2 a person tends to use money as a means of projecting himself and
he expects to pay for what he wants. Like the Sun in H 2 Mars disposes him to do things in
his own way and to use money and presents as a way of expressing appreciation. Unless
restrained by Saturn, however, Mars when working through House 2 creates
impulsiveness and extravagance. When this is the case the same lack of measure tends
to be in evidence in the way a person gives of his energies. With this placement therefore
there is a risk of material and spiritual depletion.

Neptune

With Neptune in House 2 a person tends to assume himself to be beyond the restrictions
imposed by a regard for practicalities or received wisdom. This placement can produce
someone capable of coming up with visionary schemes for making money or
hopelessly unrealistic plans. Frequently the two tendencies co-exist within the same
person and the Neptunian who makes a lot of money usually has to be protected from
himself. There is rarely any ability to operate within budgeted limits or observe even
basic disciplines. When the dissolving effect of Neptune is experienced in H2, this
materially focused house, the result can be heightened sensitivity to psychic energies.
People with Neptune in H2 frequently have clairvoyant abilities, especially if the Moon
is also present in this house.

Sun in House 4

The Sun in House 4 indicates that during the course of the current lifetime, consciousness
is to become more self-aware. The concern of the fourth house people is their inner
reality and the circumstances that have gone into making them who they are..

People born with the Sun in H4 rarely have any great desire for acclaim or worldly
success; instead they tend to favour a home - based life, which affords them much time
for reflection.

When the Sun is in H4, it is common to find other inner planets also in H4 and the Moon
in one of the houses of Universal consciousness, indicating that the past life experience
has been group orientated and lacking the terms of reference which make possible an
understanding of personal development. In the 4th House a person is given the
opportunity to understand how the emotional nature of the individual is formed from his
past: through experiences which can be remembered and those which are locked in the
unconscious; through personal experience and through the collective experience of his
race. Many 4th House people are drawn to psychotherapy as a means of accessing and
processing what is in the unconscious and they have already awareness of the importance
of the emotional level in understanding human motivation. The closer the Sun to the I.C
the more activated is the channel of communication between the personal and the
collective unconscious, and the stronger the sense of continuity and attachment to the
culture of birth. People with the Sun in the 4th House are likely to view the mother as
the most influential parent, regardless of whether the experience of her was positive or
negative. Home life - the responsibility of the mother - is perceived by a 4th House
person as the environment, which will either make or mar the individual. Yet, whilst a
person with the Sun in H4 places such a high value upon home life, this placement does
not automatically confer the ability to create or sustain the desired environment. This will
come only after a person has an understanding of his own emotional nature and of any
sabotaging tendencies.

The 4th House experience by its nature is easier for a woman to handle than for a man
who tends to look to a partner to create and run the home and thereby relinquishes a
considerable amount of control of this all-important environment.

A person with the Sun in H4 views his home as an extension and a reflection of himself,
and it is notable that a 4th House person will frequently seek to move home after a major
period of inner change or after a break-through in self-understanding: it is as if the
existing four walls no longer represent a comfortable fit. Fourth House people who are
constantly on the move may well be relying upon a change of residence to put right what
they sense to be out of kilter in their lives, in which case they are probably evading the
need to look at self.
Professions chosen by 4th House people include psychotherapy, social work, mental
health nursing, and all sectors of the industry, which has grown up around home
ownership.

Mercury

Mercury in the 4th House with the Sun increases inward-looking ness of the disposition
and creates a reality, which is greatly influenced by the emotional states and by the
example and experience of the mother who may be of an anxious or highly strung
disposition.

To people with this combination in H4 the need to feel secure is of paramount

importance. A persons level of awareness will determine whether he will rely upon
bricks and mortar to provide the sense of security or whether he will create a centre
within himself by means of self understanding.

When Mercury is in H4 and the Sun in H3 then the past is perceived as a factor of great
importance in the conditioning process at work, on both the individual and his society,
and in order to understand either, a person with this combination will look to their history.

When Mercury is in H4 and the Sun in H5 then the form which a persons creativity takes
will be heavily influenced by, and in all probability designed to impart, psychological
insight. This combination produces authors, poets and fine artists. It is also evident in
the charts of therapists and healers who seek to use both their own creativity and that of
their clients in order to bring about healing at the emotional level.

Regardless of the placement of the Sun, a person with Mercury in H4 is closely identified
with the perspectives and preconceptions of the culture into which he is born and has
difficulty adapting to those of other societies. Loneliness and a sense of alienation are
frequently the result of long periods spent abroad.

Saturn

Saturn in the 7th House indicates that in the current lifetime partnerships will be a
disciplining and restraining force.

It is this placement, rather than Venus or Jupiter in H7, as is so readily assumed, which
manifests the marriage of longevity. A person with Saturn in H7 frequently makes a
commitment to another relatively young in life and it is in the context of this relationship
that his own development takes place.

Saturn in H7 is frequently found with the Moon in a fire sign or house, indicating that the
past life experience has been self-expressive and unconstrained by responsibility to
another. In the present lifetime commitments to associates, and to the marriage partner in
particular, will give structure to the life. Unless Uranus or Pluto is in stressful aspect to
Saturn, a person with this placement demonstrates a willingness to make his
commitments legally binding so that his responsibilities are definable and difficult to
avoid. It appears to be this tendency, given all that can result from litigation in the event
of a break-up, be it of a marriage or a business association, which accounts for the view
popularised by Sepharial, that Saturn in H7 signifies misfortune at the hands of partners.
Whilst this placement means that partnerships will be a constraint on personal freedom it
does not of itself indicate that the experience of the partners will be negative.

Moon

The Moon in the 10th House indicates that the past life experience has involved exposure
to lifestyles, which gave direct experience of status and externally imposed authority,
both of which continue to hold great fascination for the Moon person. This placement
confers either a longing for personal recognition or an attraction and deference towards
powerful people, especially powerful women.

A child with this placement of the Moon is commonly born to parents, one of whom at
least, either occupies a position of authority on some scale or craves recognition, which is
felt to be lacking. Mostly that parent will be the mother who places great emphasis on
achievement and measures success according to conventional criteria. The child himself
tends to comply with those ambitions of the parent, which extend to himself and allows
himself to be directed. Throughout his life the person with the Moon in H10 tends to be
impressed, both by people with status and seniority and those who have power over him
by dint of the hold they have on his emotions. Far from resisting people who use this kind
of control, a person with the Moon in H10 is likely to encourage their involvement in his
life and is happy to defer to their perceived superiority. The point here is that a person
with the Moon in H10 tends to give over control of his life to those to whom he becomes
emotionally attached. Where the past life experience has been one of holding a position
of authority, a person may be haunted by the memory all his life if the present incarnation
does not give him scope to repeat the experience.

Pluto

With Pluto in the 12th House consciousness is opening up to a power which can 'will into
being'. Pluto in H12 has access to the Creators power and the purposes to which he will
use it will reflect his level of development: he can manifest what he lusts after or he can
will into being what he knows to be of benefit to mankind. For whatever he brings into
being he will be held directly responsible.

A person with this placement of Pluto frequently knows much cruelty and abuse in
childhood, be it of a physical, emotional or mental kind, and the perpetrators are usually
the parents or guardians who have power over the child by virtue of their custodial role.
From them the child has little opportunity to escape at the physical level and in order to
get away he forces open a shutter in the mind which gives him access to enormous
psychic power.
It is the law of the 12th House that for what is denied at the physical level is compensated
at the immaterial.

The power of a person with Pluto in H12 is most readily evidenced by their often
unconscious use of what has become known in New Age circles as Creative
Visualisation: if he can hold an image or picture an outcome and give it his emotional
energy he can bring it into being.

When used consciously, Pluto in H12 gives a person great charisma and the ability to
make others into the agents of the outworking of his will. The responsibilities of this are
enormous and the karma incurred through the use of the power conferred by Pluto in H12
is unlikely to be burned off in the course of a single lifetime. A person with this
placement, if he is to work consciously with his powers, needs to be able to recognise and
resist the voice of his desire nature.

Uranus

Uranus With Uranus in the 12th House there is a developmental need to build a sense of
individuality which is not dependent upon external forms of distinctiveness or shows of
non-conformity.

People with this placement of Uranus tend to be born into families where there is a strong
sense of propriety and an emphasis placed on conduct and appearances. Any form of
exhibitionism is actively discouraged in their childhoods.

People with this placement tend to grow up considering themselves to be ordinary.

They have, however, great potential to develop spiritually by following their own
insights and intuition rather than an established path. They have access to a vast
reservoir of energy and inspiration from the planes beyond the physical, if they can only
become aware of this. The difficulty with this placement, if Uranus in H12 is unsupported
by other outer planets, is that, a persons sense of being nothing exceptional comes
between him and his will to explore a path which may take him away from orthodoxy,
and he may be unable to approve the development of his own psychic potential.

Jupiter

Jupiter in the 12th House confers a great love of solitude and open spaces. People with
this placement require a lot of quiet and time alone. In solitude, Jupiter in H12, especially
if it is retrograde, can pick up the still, small voice. People with Jupiter in the House of
Pisces rarely experience loneliness and possess great spiritual resources. In childhood
they are likely to be solitary and usually learn to keep their spiritual understanding and
any religious beliefs this might lend itself to, a private matter. The parents no matter how
understanding, rarely share the childs convictions and may have a view of life, which is
almost exclusively materialistic.
