Heather,
When working with "empty" houses, look at the ruler of the sign on the
cusp of the house for information about the concerns about that house.
Personally, I find that working with the Traditional (Classical)
rulerships is far more effective than using the more modern system which
attempts to assign rulers to Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Try working
with them both and see which seems the more valid system to you.
Peace,
Kevin

Thanks Thomas Seers, you are truly an awesome astrologer and now
everyone can see what and how Mr. Seers enlightens us on astrology. I
don't know where these guys, Pete Stapleton and Hugh Jeffcoat came from
but they sure don't know their astrology. Thank you Thomas for giving us
the info on these people who profess to know astrology and even sell
their service. Heather beware your chart may need to be rectified. But
does Hugh say so -- of course not. i have been to astrologers like the
likes of Pete and Hugh -- take your money and don't know what to make out
of the readings they give. I had my chart rectified by Mr. Seers.
Finally my life makes sense, because of Mr. Seers rectification, as the
moon and other planets transit thru the houses in my chart. Do your self
a favor Heather take their advice with a grain of salt.

Elizabeth,
Something that I've recently learned and find fascinating (and that
makes the question of empty houses almost moot) is that the ancients
looked at the PLANETS as filters for the SIGNS, not the SIGNS as filters
for the PLANETS. (And the ancients used whole sign houses, so if you
have Gemini rising, /ALL/ of the sign of Gemini is your 1st 'house').
When a sign (=house) had no tenants, it meant that the energy of that
sign can be expressed without hindrance, in its purest form. A planet
in a sign (again, = house in this context) gives form to the expression
of the sign's energy - it limits it in some way, regardless of what
dignity a planet may have in a sign. If you have Mars in Aries, no
matter how happy Mars may be, the Aries energy will always be filtered
through Mars, whereas if you have no planets in Aries, you can express
the Aries energy without any constraints.
Certainly food for thought, isn't it?
Peace,
Kevin

The ruler of the sign on the cusp of any emty house dominates
the events pertaining to that house.
The position of the ruler and it's aspects to it, of the 6th
house, tells you your working conditions as well as sicknesses.
The 12th house ruler and it's aspects tells you what you bring
into this life subconsciously.

The absence of planets posited in a house may mean that the matters of
that house are not an issue for you to work on specifically in this
lifetime.

Kevin, the theory is interesting but after some reflection, I don’t
think I agree. In my experience an empty sign expresses a blend of
that sign and the placement of its ruler. For example an empty Aries
on the 7th cusp with Mars in Pisces would express both Aries and
Pisces. The Aries expression may be more immediate but the Pisces
Mars energy and house is a contributing influence in 7th house
affairs. In fact I’d consider the placement of Venus, as natural
ruler of the Libra 7th house, as an influence too. It seems to me the
purest Aries expression would be as a rising sign with Mars therein.
My own chart has an untenanted Sagittarius on the 7th cusp, and
although I express many of the sign’s characteristics in my
relationships (ethnic diversity, freedom to roam, even a twelve year
involvement with a teacher) the emotional needs of my Scorpio Jupiter
are definite motivating factors.

Kevin,
I agree with you. A planet constrains the sign's energy according to
that planet's level of development.
But notice that interesting phrase - "express the Aries energy". See how
the meaning of the zodiac signs shift from behavioral patterns to
energy. This is one area where textbook astrology needs adjustment, I
think.
Replacing the perspective that currently ties behavior/personality to
zodiac signs with the fluidity of energy dynamics is the key. Yet, what
is Aries if its energy and is formless? What do we say to someone that
says "I'm an Aries, tell me about myself?" And how we can possibly
comprehend all 12 zodiac/energy signs in one Now?
all the best,
Kevin
P.S. Hey, nice name!

(Boy, is this post going to be confusing to follow!)
I tend to view the signs as motivations and the planets as functions.
The Aries motivation is to be, to express the self, to initiate. Taking
the traditional view that the planets are filters for the signs, if
Aries is the 6th sign and there are no planets in Aries, that person
would be able to freely express their motivation to initiate, to take
action, to simply /be/, when they were involved in 6th house matters
such as daily routine, work, and health.
(I should not here, that I don't entirely work with this theory - when I
first posted it, I meant it as an interesting comment on the question of
empty houses. But then again, I guess that I do subscribe to it
somewhat...)
Now, in the above case, whenever a planet transits the sign of Aries,
the individual's 6th house Aries expression is given form by that planet
(or planets).
As to how we can comprehend all 12 zodiac signs in one Now...I'm not
sure how to answer that. We've all had experience with all 12 signs
either natally or by transit. Granted, these experiences are not
necessarily 'pure' since they are brought into focus by the cycles of
the planets as we experience the mundane transits and cycles. By the
age of 30, we've experienced all of the 7 visible planets in all 12
signs at least once.
I don't think this really answered your question (which may have been
rhetorical for that matter) but I'm still not thinking 100%
clearly...give me a few days until Mercury goes direct...and the eclipse
is over... ;-)
Peace,
Kevin (Burk)
I'm extremely fascinated by this thread. Is it possible to
communicate
the idea of a specific energy pattern without losing something in the
translation? This seems akin to proving a belief. As an astologer, I
think
in terms of energy, but I express in terms of form. Where do Gemini and
Sag
meet? Burk, you said '...the energy of that sign can be expressed
without
hindrance, in its purest form.' Is this an example of expressing in
form?
Since learning astrology, I've learned to experience life as energy. I
see
one's dad undergoing surgery and having your career transformed as one
thing.
So thinking in 'energetics' is less separative and, I believe, a step in
the
right direction. What are your opinions?
