No planets in the house. Is cancer and its ruler still the most important in my seventhhouse, though Leo occupies the majority of the house?

be a Leo undertone to the house due to the "intercepted" Leo between the cusps.

Are the houses that are bigger more important areas of our lives?
Are the houses with no planets less important?
And what about big houses with no planets?

Re: descendent« Reply #5 - on: 17.10.2007 at 16:50 [UT+1] »This is another area where you will find a variety of opinions, including ones such as "use the equal housesystem and you won't have this problem"!
Personally, I do not pay much attention to the apparent size of the houses, though I will note when a sign isintercepted. I view empty houses just as being not as critical to the expression of any aspect complexes among
the planets as the houses in which planets appear. The matters of such "empty" houses are then characterized
by the conditions of the rulers of their cusps.
But like I said, you'll get opinions that are all over the map on these subjects.

house sector of your chart would mean that any transiting or progressed planets will normally spend more timein it than they would in the narrower houses. mtn.

Forrest's book, _The Ascendant_. She goes into a lot of detail on how partners/spouses (DC) mirror our rising
signs. mountain

Where can you buy that book please?
My 7th house is halfi and halfj.

I think the thing to look at is the sign on your DC-if it's Sagittarius, it doesn't mean you will be necessarily attracted to people w/ the sun in i, just that Mr. orMs. Right will seem to personify i qualities to you. The if you have i on the cusp of your 7th house, I'd also
look at your house and sign placement of Jupiter for further info. Of course any 7th house planets or 6thhouse planets conjunct the DC provide further clues. Best wishes, mountain.

Does the ruler of the intercepted house play a role? My DESC is c. Ruler of DESC C e is in the 8th house.
d is intercepted in the 7th house. Gd intercepted in 7th. Co-ruler Bb is in 5th.
Aspects in between them. C|| B.
