H o u s e R u l e r s i n t h e H o u s e s : O v e r v i e w

The sign on a house cusp reveals the area of life in which the principle of that sign will be learned. The

principle manifests in more than one area of life, since the ruler, or ROVING DELEGATE of that sign,

carries the message to another house. 

For example, with Virgo on the fourth and Mercury in the eleventh, the ruler of the fourth is in the

eleventh.  The same thing is true if Taurus is on the fourth and Venus is in the eleventh--the ruler of

the fourth house is in the eleventh house, and the energy of the fourth flows to the eleventh.

Houses in the birth chart are thus linked together in interesting ways. The planetary ruler, or "roving

delegate" of a house's sign acts as a messenger, bringing the energy from the house it rules to the

house in which it is placed. Keep in mind that there are many different interpretations, or possible

manifestations, of house rulers in houses.

The ruler of a house is also important for revealing what we do to "act out" the principles of that

house. It shows how the matters of that house are realized, and thus relates very much to experiences.

For example, the ruler of the tenth house shows what we do to carve out an identity for ourselves. The

aspects that the ruler of a house makes help round out the whole picture. It is interesting to note the

aspect, if any, between the ruler of the Ascendant, for example, and the Ascendant itself! If the ruler of

the Ascendant is square the Ascendant itself, we usually have a person who is unsure about how he or

she should behave. It can be difficult for others to know what to expect with this person, as he or she

may be bold one day and timid the next.

The condition of the ruler of a house should not be underestimated. Its "condition" is determined by its

position in the chart (on an angle for example), the sign it is in, and the aspects it makes.

Page 2: House Rulers

The ruler of the first house is also referred to as the "chart ruler". Example: If Aries is on the first

house, Mars is the first house ruler. If Mars is in the 7th house, then the ruler of the first house is in the

7th house. It can point to dominant interests or motivations, things that we pour a lot of energy into,

as well as areas of life where we are motivated to take personal action. Sometimes we use the

energies associated with the house to protect ourselves from the insecurities we may feel about being

"out there" and exposed to the world. The condition of the first house shows how we handle

beginnings, new situations, and being "looked at" or acknowledged. How we feel when we walk into a

place we've never been before--whether the feeling is one of self-consciousness, boldness, reticence,

eagerness, and so forth--comes under the rule of the first house. For example, if the ruler of the 1st

house is in the 4th house, we may build a strong connection to family or build a home base to make us

feel protected and safe. We may not be especially comfortable in new situations or situations that

single us out.

Keep in mind the meaning of the first house when interpreting its ruler's position and aspects. The first

house reveals our defense mechanisms and first reactions to new stimuli, how we instinctively react to

a new situation,  how we appear to others (the "first impression" we make on a personal level), our

mannerisms and physical bearing, and our physical form.

Ruler of the 1st House in the 1st House

The manner in which you come across to others is very important to you. You are self-conscious and

very body aware. Even if you don't have any planets in Aries, you have some distinct Aries traits--you

are reactive, a leader, and sometimes impulsive. You are self-motivated and self-interested. You live

life believing that your fate is in your own hands, and you are likely to be quite proactive.

Ruler of the 1st House in the 2nd House

You have a strong value system, and you value security and longevity more than most people. Some

may call you stubborn and fixed, as you do have a way of establishing routines and getting set in your

ways. You may be focused on establishing yourself materially, but this position can also suggest a

strong desire to lay down roots. Comfort and security motivate much of what you do, and you value

things that last. Even if you don't have planets in the sign of Taurus, you have some distinct Taurus

traits.

Ruler of the 1st House in the 3rd House

Even if you don't have planets in Gemini, your chart ruler in the third house gives you some distinct

Gemini traits, such as versatility, curiosity, and communication skills. You may be fidgety, somewhat

restless, and most certainly curious about the world around you. You are likely to be quite active,

moving about close to home. You adopt a lighthearted approach to life, may be a "jack of all trades",

and are a "people watcher". You delight in putting two and two together, and feel a stronger need than

most people to engage in idle chit-chat with friends.

Ruler of the 1st House in the 4th House

Page 3: House Rulers

Some might call you a homebody. You are someone who is very motivated by a need for security and

roots. You may "take after" a parent quite strongly--perhaps following in his or her footsteps or

resembling this parent. Even if you don't have planets in Cancer, you display distinct traits of the sign.

You may invest a lot of energy into building your "nest".

Ruler of the 1st House in the 5th House

Even if you don't have planets in Leo, you display distinct traits of the sign. You pour a lot of energy

into hobbies, children, or creative endeavors. Having a good time is important to you! You need to

express yourself creatively, thrive on attention, and you are likely very romantic and proud. There is

some sort of eager excitement connected with being noticed and singled out. You enjoy attention and

often look for it in order to feed your spirit.

Ruler of the 1st House in the 6th House

What you do as a vocation is more important to you than most. You may be a bit of a workaholic, as

work occupies your thoughts. Others see you as a helpful and responsible person, and likely your

reputation is well-deserved. You are very body-aware, and it is important that you have a healthy

regimen of diet and/or physical activity. This builds your confidence. In many ways, you come across

as unassuming and modest. You are always willing to offer helpful tips to others--and you have plenty

of them!

Ruler of the 1st House in the 7th House

How you see yourself--and find yourself--is mirrored by a partner or close friend. You tend to define

yourself in terms of how you relate with another person. Bouncing ideas off, or getting feedback from,

another person feels almost like a necessity in order for you to take action or make decisions.

Decisions are thus made indirectly, as a product of this feedback. You may find that you vacillate a lot

as a result.

Ruler of the 1st House in the 8th House

You are a person who readily sees that there is more to any person or situation than meets the eye.

You are somewhat reserved, not fond of "posing", and you have a distinct disdain for all that is

superficial. You have a mysterious, private, or sensual aura around you. You are not one to show off,

and you seem to be content to be left alone--at least that's what others seem to read. Psychology

appeals to you, you are generally quite hard-working, and you may spend much of your time

researching and "digging". Sometimes this indicates an inheritance that transforms the life, or

handling other people's money.

Ruler of the 1st House in the 9th House

You are a generally outgoing person--an idealist and a dreamer. Usually ready for an adventure on the

fly, you are a growth-oriented person and a born philosopher. Your opinions are strong, and you are

generally ready and willing to let others know what you think! You may also be especially attracted to

travel.

Page 4: House Rulers

Ruler of the 1st House in the 10th House

You have a strong need for recognition that can be a driving force in your life. You are usually ready to

take charge, and you are fond of structure. You readily take responsibility for yourself and for others.

Some people with this position "hide" behind a position, such as a job, social standing, or reputation;

or, they are especially fond of letting others know their position in life. Certainly, you come across as

strong.

Ruler of the 1st House in the 11th House

You like to be on the same wavelength as others, and you tend to actively seek out similar, like-

minded people to share times with. You are concerned about the welfare of others, and equality of

people is an important concept in your life. People with this position are usually quite outgoing,

sociable, and adventurous.

Ruler of the 1st House in the 12th House

While shy in youth, as you mature you tend to find ways of handling and masking your sensitivity. Your

intuition is strong, and you naturally understand that there are hidden forces in life that influence the

daily goings-on. You tend to always be seeking something higher--such as a greater meaning or

understanding of life and your place or purpose in it. There is something mysterious and private to

your aura. At times, you may feel a lot of anxiety. Although you are capable of being alone, sometimes

loneliness consumes you and vague doubts and fears haunt you. You are a perceptive person, and

managing your deep sensitivity is something that can be a lifelong task.

 

R u l e r o f t h e 2 n d H o u s e i n t h e H o u s e s : I n t e r p r e t a t i o n s

Example: If Aries is on the second house, Mars is the second house ruler. If Mars is in the 7th house,

then the ruler of the second house is in the 7th house.

The following interpretations are from the Vocational Report, and focus on finances:

Ruler of the 2nd House in the 1st House

The anxiety about earning your own money already was generated in your youth, probably by your

family upbringing. Your financial income is directly related to your own effort, to the expression of your

talents and to the utilization of your physical body.

Ruler of the 2nd House in the 2nd House

You are able to earn money through your own industry. You will find security thanks to your patient

work and perseverance. Your practical and realistic sense allows you to do very well in your

Page 5: House Rulers

professional activity. It is important for you to establish a healthy sense of values, because your

remuneration is based on that.

Ruler of the 2nd House in the 3rd House

Your income may be derived from a job or career which involves verbal as well as written

communication, studies, travel, and also by working with a brother or sister if you have any, or other

close relative.

Ruler of the 2nd House in the 4th House

Your income is related to your home, the city where you reside, and also to real estate in general. You

may work out of your home or in professions such as interior decorator, gardener, farmer or real estate

ventures.

Ruler of the 2nd House in the 5th House

Your income is related to creative endeavors, publications, entertainment, sports or arts, investments

that imply certain risk or speculation, education or children. You are likely to earn money through

some pursuit that will offer satisfaction and pleasure.

Ruler of the 2nd House in the 6th House

Your income is related to fields of sanitation, diets, health, hygiene, nursing, or occupying a

subordinate position and organization in important companies, or in a completely different area such

as domestic animal care.

Ruler of the 2nd House in the 7th House

Your income is related to the training of a matrimonial or commercial society, or to an activity related

to the public. You could also earn money involving legal affairs, such as contracts and agreements.

Ruler of the 2nd House in the 8th House

Your income is related to the administration of other people's resources, joint investments, banking,

brokerage, insurance, or politics. There is a possibility of receiving an inheritance. This position also

favors profit by marriage.

Ruler of the 2nd House in the 9th House

Your income depends to a large extent on the relationship you may have with other countries. You can

earn money in foreign trade, import and export, travel, tourism, or a liberal profession, science,

philosophy or religion, or teaching in a university.

Ruler of the 2nd House in the 10th House

Page 6: House Rulers

Your income is related to the career or profession that you choose. Thanks to your daily effort, you will

be able to establish a sense of achievement. This position enables you to earn money in some

government capacity or politics, or to acquire a profession of great social status.

Ruler of the 2nd House in the 11th House

Your income is closely linked with those of friends, your relationships, or to activities that you perform

in certain social groups. You are likely to have influential friends who will help you to improve your

income. There is a possibility of earning money through administrative or political positions in social

organizations.

Ruler of the 2nd House in the 12th House

Your income is related to some kind of service in connection with healing and welfare, or helping the

less fortunate. You may have difficulties evaluating your self worth, which may impinge your level of

income. Evaluating your natural talents would bring better financial opportunities. This influence could

bring confidential financial support, but also may incline to clandestine or illegal business. Avoid any

easy business that may imply some risk or commitment.

 

R u l e r o f t h e 7 t h H o u s e i n t h e H o u s e s : I n t e r p r e t a t i o n s

Example: If Aries is on the seventh house, Mars is the seventh house ruler because Mars rules Aries. If

Mars is in the 1st house, then the ruler of the seventh house is in the 1st house.

The seventh house represents what you are looking for in others in order to complement the qualities

you most identify with, whether you do this consciously or unconsciously.

Ruler of the 7th House in the 1st House

You possess a strong level of charm. Your people skills are likely quite keen, in that you quickly pick up

on cues in your environment. Relationships are vitally important to you, and you often, perhaps

without even knowing it, tend to evaluate yourself based on how well you are getting along with

others. You tend to be attracted to partners who are independent and outgoing, or who reflect the

image that you project. You have an intense need to identify with your partner (or with the public), and

you may often find yourself doing what it takes to please that partner (or the public).

Ruler of the 7th House in the 2nd House

You tend to gravitate to a life partner who shares similar basic values as you. You value certainty in

partnership more than almost anything. Constancy is important to you as well. Your life partner may

be a good provider or could be the money manager in your relationship. Significant one-to-one

relationships in your life are important to you, and you tend to hang on to people as long as you can,

as you value longevity, security, familiarity, and reliability in your partnerships. You can be quite

possessive of your partners. Because security is most important to you, you may tolerate unhappiness

Page 7: House Rulers

in a partnership just so that you don't have to be the one to leave. Partnerships make you feel secure.

Physical touching and closeness is important to you in your significant relationships.

Ruler of the 7th House in the 3rd House

Communication is everything to you in a partnership. You enjoy discussions with significant others in

your life, if only to bounce ideas back and forth. Movement in a relationship is important to you. You

tend to like to spend a lot of time with a partner, perhaps running errands together, or simply chatting

about your day. Although you enjoy talking to a partner, you also value his or her opinion, and most

certainly value your partner's involvement. You may find that your thoughts take shape more readily

when you are able to hold one-on-one conversations. For example, you may come to more interesting

conclusions or get your best ideas if you are speaking or writing to another person rather than simply

thinking about something on your own, or jotting down your ideas. Thus you seem to need another

person to help you give shape to your own ideas. This does not mean you depend on others for advice;

however, you do rely on the feedback of others to stimulate your own thought processes.

Ruler of the 7th House in the 4th House

You seek a partner who is nurturing, caring, and domestic. A feeling of security in your close personal

relationships is extremely important to you. Fitting in to your sense of home and family, and your set

of traditions, is important to you in a companion. You seek someone familiar and comfortable. Your life

partner may be the one who provides a home base for you--a sense of comfort and security. This

sometimes indicates a person who is slow to marry, if at all. This position can suggest that your

relationships tend to mirror your own parents' relationship, either in an unconscious attempt to fill

emotional needs that went unfulfilled in childhood, or to cling to your roots. You tend to feel

threatened when others don't support your most basic of values.

Ruler of the 7th House in the 5th House

A spirit of fun, romance, and playfulness is important to you when it comes to your close relationships.

You tend to depend upon a companion to stimulate your own creativity or to bring out your "inner

child". You are unlikely to marry for any other reason but love, as there is an idealistic and romantic

side to you. This sometimes indicates that you look for a creative and expressive partner, or that you

partner with someone in a creative endeavor on a professional level. You tend to seek a companion

who enjoys similar diversions and hobbies as you do. You are quite dependent on the encouragement

of your partner, and you thrive on attention from a companion. You are threatened by a person who is

detached or impersonal. A relationship that is playful, reassuring, and encouraging is most attractive

to you. You feed on the emotional energy of a partnership, deriving confidence from your association.

You may be "in love with love", and you tend to approach any new association with a fresh and

idealistic attitude.

Ruler of the 7th House in the 6th House

You seek a partner who is supportive of you on a day-to-day basis and with regards to the work you do.

However, you may end up with someone who is too involved to the point of being meddlesome.

Sometimes this indicates meeting a partner through work, or working with a partner.  This may also

indicate a companion who supports your work or even makes your work possible. There is a practical

Page 8: House Rulers

tone to your partnerships, and you might want to watch that they don't grow to be relationships

involving duty or obligation more than relationships just for the sake of togetherness. You do value a

partner's involvement and concern, but it must be on your own terms in order for you to feel fulfilled.

This may be especially the case if the planet involved is the Sun, Mercury, Mars, or Saturn. Because

this is tricky, you may end up feeling criticized or observed by your partner a little too much for your

liking. There may be a strong theme of inequality, imbalance, or service in your close partnerships,

especially with the Moon, Venus, or Neptune here. If you find yourself drawn to partners in need of

help, you might consider that you are doing so in order to heal a part of yourself. This position can also

indicate that the work you do involves service to others in one-to-one scenarios, such as counseling.

Ruler of the 7th House in the 7th House

While the ruler of the 7th in the 5th suggests being "in love with love", this position suggests being in

love with the relationship itself. You depend a great deal on a partnership, but you must be careful not

to be so focused on "the relationship" that you lose sight of the people in it! You tend to form close

partnerships quite easily, perhaps feeling that life just wouldn't be "right" without a close companion.

You may find yourself attracted to partners who are strong and who tend to lead the relationship,

especially if the planet involved is the Sun, Mars, or Saturn. You are a master at the art of compromise.

The most positive expression of this position is partnering with someone who increases your self-

confidence. The main situation to avoid here is the development of co-dependent relationships. As

well, although you may be attracted to people who take charge in the relationship, you might develop

resentment towards your companion over time, and passive-aggressive behavior may be the result.

Ruler of the 7th House in the 8th House

You are drawn to relationships that challenge you to grow and transform. In the process, you may

unconsciously create challenges in your partnerships. These can take the form of "testing" your

partner, although it's unlikely to be a deliberate process. You are drawn to relationships with a "life or

death" intensity. Superficial connections simply don't satisfy you--passion and intensity are what gets

you going. When you couple, you do so completely. You encounter your "shadow" through your

partnerships, and you might find that relationships bring out the darker emotions in you--jealousy,

manipulation, fear of betrayal, and so forth. Ultimately, however, they can also bring out your hidden

strengths. Power struggles may be part of the picture. It can be hard for you to move on and get over

a relationship that ends, and there can be an obsessive quality to your close relationships. Your

partnerships tend to alter your life and lifestyle significantly, as you tend to throw yourself into them

with passion and intensity. This position sometimes indicates that you are drawn to close companions

who offer you support--moral, financial, and otherwise. On the other hand, you may be in a position to

counsel others with regard to their finances.

Ruler of the 7th House in the 9th House

Relationships must be vital and alive rather than static and routine in order for you to feel fulfilled. In

some cases, the spouse comes from a culture that is very different from your own background. You

might shy away from a legal commitment. Your partner brings out the philosopher or wanderer in you.

Through your partnerships, you feel more adventurous, curious, and interested in exploring beyond

your neighborhood and your circle. Although you may rely on others to inspire your own higher mind,

you do not necessarily concur with his or her belief system. You enjoy discussing and creating your

Page 9: House Rulers

personal philosophies together with a partner. You require much more than just physical and

emotional stimulation from a partner. When your higher mind is stimulated, the rest of you engages.

This position also indicates a strong idealism when it comes to close partnerships. You are not one to

"settle" for practical reasons or otherwise. You need to feel that the person you are with is right for

you, and that is the single most important factor.

Ruler of the 7th House in the 10th House

Partnerships are tied with career, public standing, or reputation in some manner. You may be attracted

to, or attract, a partner who is a professional or authority figure, through career pursuits, or one who

embodies some of the traits associated with the tenth house - someone who is competent,

authoritative, hard-working, ambitious, and reputation-conscious. Some of you could be in the public

eye as a result of a marriage or partnership. You tend to connect with successful or highly motivated

people. You may want to feel important or special in a relationship and gravitate towards partners who

provide you with these feelings. You will need to watch for relationship patterns that mimic childhood

relating patterns with a strong parent. When communicating and interacting in one-on-one situations,

you may take on a parental role, or you seek out people who take on a parental role.

Ruler of the 7th House in the 11th House

Friendships can be tied to partnerships in some manner with the ruler of the seventh house in the

eleventh house. You are an idealist when it comes to partnerships. It's extremely important to you that

a partner share similar ideals, concerns, interests, and goals. You can be attracted to, or you attract,

people who are independent, unusual, and unique. You may easily feel stifled if a partner centers most

of his/her attention on you and your relationship, favoring at least a fair level of freedom in your

connections. You typically do not smother a partner, and you prefer a partner who also allows you the

freedom to be yourself and to pursue some independent activities. You can be a wonderful

spokesperson who is able to connect well with a crowd.

Ruler of the 7th House in the 12th House

Close partnerships or marriages can be rather complex. There can be a theme of "saving" in your

relationship - where one of you required special support or attention and this bonded you together, for

example. You may be attracted to relationships that are unbalanced in power, that require some level

of sacrifice or support, or that is private, mysterious, and possibly even reclusive. There is a tendency

for you or your partner to give a lot of yourselves. You are unlikely to be very public about your close

relationships, preferring to keep them private, or in some cases, finding it necessary to keep them

private, secret, or mysterious. You may need to watch for tendencies to bear too much in a

relationship, to sacrifice too many things for a partner, to play the role of victim or savior, and to one

day resent any of these things.

The following interpretations are from the Vocational report:

Ruler of 10th house in 1st house

Your professional success is related to the expression of your personality, the confidence in your

initiative and your physical body or appearance. Whatever you achieve in life, you will have to do it on

your own and will be very proud of it. Try to avoid the tendency to become egocentric. You may do

best when self-employed.

traveling or you may publish notes or articles.

Ruler of 10th house in 4th house

Your profession is related to your home, and because of this, you may work out of your home or with

you to try fields having to do with soil, property, land or those that have to do with your place of birth.

Ruler of 10th house in 5th house

Your professional success is related to your creativity. No matter what profession you choose, you

always show your originality and desire to do things your way. This astrological position leads you to

find success, especially in sports or artistic careers. Working in your profession will be a pleasure for

you.

Ruler of 10th house in 6th house

Your professional success is related to your ideas on service. No matter what profession you choose, it

will be more gratifying for you if you feel that you are helping others. This astrological position favors

professions linked to medicine, therapy or nutrition. If you do not have a career, you are likely to work

in a company that provides some kind of service.

Page 11: House Rulers

Ruler of 10th house in 7th house

Your professional success is related to the public, society and marriage. You have a need for give and

take with the public; your contact with the public could be on a large scale as well as people

individually. Your professional progress will be stimulated by the training of some association or by the

support you receive from your mate.

Ruler of 10th house in 8th house

Your professional success is related to your ability to produce changes or transformations in yourself

as well as others. This astrological influence brings financial support from others that will help your

career. That help could come from a financial institution as well as your marriage. Any kind of

investigations would be very favorable.

Ruler of 10th house in 9th house

Your professional success is related to your ideals, university degree, higher studies, religion and

traveling. You may establish yourself professionally in a different place from that of your birth or your

work could necessitate you to travel often. You always feel the need to expand your knowledge and to

make the most of each day.

Ruler of 10th house in 10th house

You are likely to put a lot of energy into achieving professional success. Your ambitions and goals are

clearly defined, and you have a need to demonstrate to yourself and others what you can achieve

through your own effort. Your career may depend on parental support or guidance, or you may follow

in the footsteps of your parents. Either way, you always point out your individuality and personal

ability.

Ruler of 10th house in 11th house

Your professional success is related to your participation in some organization, group, union, or club.

The support you receive from your friends will be crucial and because of this, you have to consider

sociability as an important part of your life.

Ruler of 10th house in 12th house

Your professional success is related to your ability to serve others behind the scenes. Your profession

is likely to be performed behind closed doors or in private. This position favors professions that require

power behind the throne; that is to say that you make suggestions or decisions without conferring with

the public. Activities linked to secret information, medicine or investigations would be very favorable.

 

Page 12: House Rulers

Note: The following are short interpretations of the rulers of houses in houses according to a classical
