Empty Houses... - Discussions, questions

IceSíckle » Mike Five Thank you Mike.

I knew there was more intricacies involved with the empty houses in our natal charts. I just figured it was either a suppression or procession of those energies and themes of those empty houses.

If I´m including midpoints and Arabic lots then I don´t have as much of an empty chest per se. The degrees and Lord of the houses also color those houses too. Showing more complexity too. No house is truly empty in that sense I suppose! Wow

Hylonome » FOWL Hi, flatmate

Hylonome » Mike Five And I wouldn´t forget the fact of intercepted signs / duplicated cusps in "empty" houses as well. For those who believe that this issue needs to be resolved, then I think it´s like having planets on it (or "worse" depending on the case) 😄

FOWL » Mike Five Ew! no! Stay out of my houses OTHERS!

Mike Five An "empty" house can have many interesting things to see, however it is clear that we pay less attention to it in general, because by not having planetary energies creating tensions or perennial joys, it may seem to us that it works automatically.

However, the "empty" house will always have a cusp to a specific degree, with a planetary ruler; and sometimes the first part of another sign or an intercepted sign (depending on which house system we use).

It is also possible that midpoints, Arabic lots, antiscias, dodecatemorias come together in that house... or even that that house is temporarily activated by transits, progressions, directions, etc.

Without forgetting, of course, that the house in question could also be "occupied" by synastry with a person close to us.

FOWL » IceSíckle Of course... we still have transiting planets polluting the water.. and causing movement where there is stagnation. But less powerful conjunctions to really shake things up... still, a transiting planet aspecting a planet in another house will still activate the house it is in in unexpected ways.

IceSíckle » FOWL That makes sense now that I think of it! The empty houses must act as a purer version without other energies affecting it. Thanks!

FOWL If anything, an empty house operates more smoothly as it has less planetary energy complicating things.... it may just operate comfortably in the background (based on the state of the ruling planet) without as much conflicting energy within it.
