Empty 4th, 5th, and 7th houses - Discussions, questions

CapiSun I have an empty 7th house, and have never been married. I have not really had much luck in lasting relationships, except for the one time that I was with my son´s father for 10 years. I attribute that to the fact that his aries mars fell into my aries 7th house, along with other harmonizing aspects. I don´t have a problem finding a relationship, but I am having a hard time keeping a good one. These men are ridiculous out here. And alot of them are immature and don´t know exactly what they want out of a relationship. I am guessing since uranus has been transiting my 7th house for the past 6 years or so, that that could be the reason for my instability in relationships.

An empty 7th, 5th, or 4th house doesn´t really mean that you are destined to be alone..don´t forget about the planets that transit these houses, as well as the planets from another person´s chart that you meet, falling into these houses; essentially ´activating´ them. I agree with goldenlion32; your soul´s main focus just won´t be on empty house issues in this lifetime.

ElizabethH » Lry333 Thank you so much for this thorough & thoughtful analysis! I see a lot of truth to what you wrote here; your description of the degrees as corresponding to the signs is super interesting, and given your accurate reflection on what that implies for my chart with Neptune conjunct Uranus, I will definitely look into the theory. I find that while I connect with Scorpio and Capricorn both very much, there is an unmistakable tension between the two at times, being that while similar in certain ways (i.e., intensity, capacity for seriousness, etc.), the energies are naturally quite different (most notably on an emotional level). That´s a such a big theme in my life, so it would make sense to me if it were also present there.

I think my Gemini moon makes me acutely aware of the tension between the Scorpio and Capricorn energies, too; the biggest thing I feel with a Gemini moon is a sense of restlessness. I always, always need to be learning something and engaging with new ideas to be content. I very rarely form any beliefs or truly deep attachment; however detached I am from almost everything I study though, I need contact with thoughts, words, ideas, theories, concepts, etc. I also need to dwell in conflict, whether within myself or with my ideas or with something external (although I think that stems from Mercury in Libra for me~ a good way to describe that is that I am quite capable of arguing for things I even disagree with, just to feel what it would be like to see the world through the other side´s lens & because I have a weird love/hate relationship with conflict itself). All of this is to say that when I think of Gemini, given my own experience & my knowledge of 2 close friends with a lot of Gemini, I think we have an unusually high need for contact and communication (in whatever form that takes). Simultaneously, we have Duality etched deep in our beings; naturally, this leads us to fantasize that we have no such need (and perhaps to even believe it to be true), especially because we also love being a little detached.

And lastly, that´s amazing that you are a fan of Chris Brennan, too! He is brilliant. I´ll check out the other astrologer, too; Hellenistic astrology is my favorite so far, yet I aspire to learn about the other traditions, as well. (I very much like your speculation that perhaps both schools of thought are right, too :) ).

ElizabethH » ShriSaiganeshE-jyotish Hey there! Thank you so much for sharing such an insightful analysis of my chart with me. Please know that I really appreciate it! I´m really intrigued by the 6th house negation of the 7th that you pointed out, and I feel like that helps explain some things. Also, I definitely connect with being analytical yet overwhelmed by decisions, as well as experiencing delays in those areas of life you mentioned. Thank you for pointing out areas to focus on in terms of health, too. I´ll definitely be referring back to this. :)

N_thecat My 7th house is empty, just like 1st and 12th.But on the cusp of 7th house I have Aquarius.

Lry333 I´m noticing some things in your chart that jump out at me. As you mentioned you have a Gemini moon, and from what I´ve read plus being close friends with a Gemini, it seems they are talented communicators but don´t feel this overwhelming need to have people around at the same time. My friend feels like if he wanted to, he could go hide out alone for a month and just work and never really get lonely. Does this sound like you?

Also, your Ascendant is in Capricorn and from what I understand, Capricorns don´t really experience a "mushy" or overly romantic type of love. Your Venus is also trine Neptune in Capricorn at the 20th degree which stands for Scorpio energy. Not everyone believes in the degree theory, but I do, so for what it´s worth- to me it looks like you have that stress between having this planet in Capricorn but at a degree of Scorpio, and Scorpio craves deep connection. Regarding Neptune from the book Spiritual Astrology it "depicts the self-defeating and confusing patterns where your expectations are the highest and disappointments are the most intense." This could be why you´re not feeling so "take it or leave it" about relationships and might have discord.

Also, Neptune is conjunct Uranus in Capricorn at the 22nd degree, a Capricorn degree (again, if you go for that sort of thing). So, Uranus is your independence being conjoined with a planet with this energy of confusion around it- Capricorn energy vs Scorpio. Saturn rules Capricorn and with so much energy from Capricorn in your first house (who you are)between planets and the 22nd degree, I think things like relationships could come at a delay in your life.

Hopefully this makes some sense, if you don´t agree I totally understand. I see that you respect classical astrology which doesn´t use degrees. I do too and I´m actually studying two astrologers now that have completely opposite views. I study Chris Brennan´s work, who seems to be the King of bringing back Hellenistic astrology, and Nikola Stojanovic who would throw classical out the window and uses Placidus. I feel like both of them have compelling teachings and maybe they´re both right.

ElizabethH » goldenlion32 Yeah, I actually recently switched to whole sign houses. The astrologers I most admire practice traditional astrology, which utilizes the whole sign houses. I think my Scorpio strolling makes more sense in the 11th house than the 10th, in the context of my life. For instance, I feel like I would know by now if I was fated to have some big career. It’s true that I want to make my career (I’ll study to become a lawyer if I get accepted to law school next year) the center of my life, but the reasons I chose that path are very much centered on community/social/11th house reasons.

goldenlion32 Might be what house system your using as well since the one on Astroseek you have stuff in those houses. Where astrodienst you don´t.

goldenlion32 I get your Scorpio is introverted in the 11th house, but your planets are all showing as if you´d have support on the left side of the chart. You work hard for everything.

Empty houses don´t mean you won´t have romance, sex, or relationships. It´s just saying your focus isn´t entirely on the family, children, and relationships. You may have mastered this before in past life.
