Guiding Planet in the Houses

The house of your birth-chart (the section of space surrounding your

birth) occupied by your Planet of Oriental Appearance provides insight

into the particular area of human experience through which your

innate skills, faculties and aptitudes may be best realized.

Oriental Planet in the First House. The first house represents

experiencing yourself as a unique individual. If your Skill Symbol is in this

house, you may be an exemplar of your chosen profession — a

representative or ideal man or woman who has integrated the qualities

and functions of the Skill Symbol into the fabric of personality. With Skill

Symbol in the first house, you may tend to over-identify with what you

do — remember, you are more than a job description, no matter how

well you fill it!

Oriental Planet in the Second House. You possess strong and highly

productive skills and abilities which are apparent in all that you do. You

may use your Skill Symbol very resourcefully for the acquisition of

possessions and resources or as a means to acquire resources enabling

you to pursue your real or personal interests and goals.

Oriental Planet in the Third House. Here the Skill Symbol may be used

for accumulating or dispensing knowledge, and you may be more a

general practitioner than a specialist. At times you may do well to

remember that knowledge and information in themselves have no

absolute value. Indeed, data and knowledge can produce destructive

results when exploited by a mind lacking compassion and a broad frame

of reference.

Oriental Planet in the Fourth House. The fourth house deals with

personal integration, security, ones root power and the home. You may

best use your special skills and faculties in the areas of personal and

cultural integration, and for securing a basis of operation.

Oriental Planet in the Fifth House. Whatever skills and aptitudes your

Skill Symbol represents, they are well used in the area of creativity,

self-expression and for gaining personal experience. With your Oriental

Appearing Planet in the fifth house, you may find it leads you to risk-

taking and speculation.

Oriental Planet in the Sixth House. Regardless of which planet figures

as Skill Symbol, its location in the sixth house enables you to focus your

special skills and faculties on critical situations. You may use your Skill

Symbol for self-improvement and to resolve your own personal crises

and the problems of others.

Oriental Planet in the Seventh House. With your Skill Symbol in the

Seventh House, you work well in partnership and in direct contact with

others. You may use your people skills either for your own benefit or to

help others by playing the middleman or representative. You may need

to remember that you are more than a social image and that others are

not personal resources to be used.

Oriental Planet in the Eighth House. You are especially skillful at

business and at sensing and using the energies generated and released

by human relationship. Your skills and faculties may be well used in

conducting happy, productive and mutually beneficial relationships. But

in a negative way, the same faculties may be used for exploitation and

for getting what you want.

Oriental Planet in the Ninth House. You may use your skills and

faculties to better understand and formulate large ideas, concepts and

philosophical, social, scientific or religious systems. Individuals with

Oriental Planet in the ninth house are often media savvy and use their

skills to expand human horizons and understanding.

Oriental Planet in the Tenth House. You may best use your special

skills and faculties to either advance your own interests in the social

and professional worlds or to contribute new social ideals to the world-

at-large. Your Skill Symbol may bring your before the public eye. Once

there, you may use your position and responsibility in the interest of

public good, or to bask in the radiance of your own glory.

Oriental Planet in the Eleventh House. You can best use your special

skills and faculties within the sphere of your social environment or group

to either draw attention to yourself through a show of glitter or to

dramatize the need for personal and social adjustments and

improvements.

Oriental Planet in the Twelfth House. Whatever skills and faculties

are represented by your Skill Symbol, you do well to focus them on

"ultimates." You work well in private or performing research, and you

may find a place in little-known, obscure, or abstract fields. In another

sense, this configuration points to a situation where either big issues

need to be neutralized through the Skill Symbol, or where your special

skills and faculties may serve a more than personal purpose.
