Planets in houses
Every planet in every house
A planet's sign is its manner; its house is its address. Mars in Aries acts the same way wherever it sits, but Mars in the sixth house spends that energy on work and health, and Mars in the seventh spends it on other people. These pages give a keynote for each of the 120 placements and the facts behind it.

Why the house needs a birth time
Signs move slowly: the Sun stays in one for a month. Houses turn with the earth, a full circuit every day, so the Ascendant advances about a degree every four minutes. A chart cast for the wrong hour keeps the right signs and gets every house wrong, which is the single most common reason two readings of the same person disagree.
