House Rulers in the Houses: Overview
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.
Ruler of the 1st House in the Houses: Interpretations
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
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.
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.
Ruler of the 2nd House in the Houses: Interpretations
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 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
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.
Ruler of the 7th House in the Houses: Interpretations
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 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 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 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.
Ruler of the 10th House in the Houses: Interpretations
Example: If Aries is on the tenth house, Mars is the tenth house ruler because Mars rules Aries. If Mars is in the 1st house, then the ruler of the tenth house is in the 1st house.

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