Houses - what is their significance?

Answer 1

No idea

Gemini

Answer 2

Houses are as equally important as signs in Astrology. While planets in signs take on the traits/characteristics of those signs, planets in Houses reveal to us WHERE in life the energies get manifested.

The 12 Houses represents the 12 departments of Life. The Houses which the planets fall into will be determined by your exact time of birth, by the location of your Ascendant.

1st House is your personality and reps the way you view the world/how others see you while 2nd House rules finances, money and material possessions.

Houses in signs means that the various Departments of Life are colored by the traits of those signs.This is also known as the House or Placidus system.

Any sign or planets found in the 1st House will be highlighted as this is the most important House in the zodiac as it contains your Rising sign and determines your personality.

Edit: JUpiter in Libra is in your 12th House most likely since you have a Libra Asc at 29' deg. This position boosts confidence where the subconscious is concerned. The 12th House is generally a difficult House to deal with becos it rules matters which one would rather not confront. But this should make it easier for you to confront your inner demons and come to terms with them eventually. Jupiter reps lucky breaks you get in life and this will be seen in 12th House issues.

Answer 3

The first house is also the house oif your ascendant, which was already answered in you previous post. But here's something on Jupiter in Libra.

JUPITER IN LIBRA

Jupiter shows how we can put all those little facts together, how we get the big picture. Aires will do this fast. Libra tends to take time. It has to balance all the factors. Unless something else interferes, Jupiter in Libra feels secure and safe in partnership situations.

When well-aspected this position gives a kind, sympathetic and loving disposition, a conscientious, sociable and benevolent nature and an interest in all that makes for the uplift of humanity--music, art, literature, social intercourse, et cetera. On that account the person is popular, particularly with the opposite s*x from whence gain and benefit may be expected. Success in the business and public life are shown.

But if Jupiter is afflicted in Libra undue indulgence of the lower nature will bring trouble and public scandal with a consequent loss of popularity and prestige.

You have an easy-going and relaxed nature in the company of others, coupled with the ability to become popular and to make good connections. You have a gift for social or public work and a talent for getting others involved in worthwhile causes. Intrinsically just and fair, you believe in equality in personal or professional partnerships. You appreciate beauty and the fine arts.

You are the perennial optimist who has the ability to light up any room. You are positive, outgoing and enthusiastic. People warm to you, as you exude self-confidence, an easy manner and a hearty sense of humour. You have leadership capabilities, combined with the ability to be popular and well liked. You are interested in philosophical subjects, religious questions and education.

(I'm guessing your Jupiter is in the first house, if it isn't then correct me)

Jupiter in the First House:

Jupiter in the First House gives you the traits of the sign of Sagittarius, optimistic, lucky, and with a tendency to say the first thing that pops into your mind. That is why Sagittarius HAS to be the sign of good luck. If it weren’t, everyone with a Sagittarius Sun-sign, or rising sign, or Jupiter in the first house would be murdered before the age of ten for saying outrageous things. If you have this placement, don’t get into the habit of relying too much on your "luck" because every now and then, it shuts off, and THEN you will be in real trouble. The other drawbacks of this position are a tendency to gain weight and no desire whatever to listen to any one else.

Ur husband will also be truthful & handsome.
