We don’t like empty things: an empty fridge, and empty wallet, an empty home, and so on.

When you hear about empty houses in astrology for the first time, what comes to your mind is that there is something wrong with that house in the birth chart.

When you look at a chart, you’ll immediately notice that there are some houses with (0) zero planets there. Or you can say that these are the empty houses in the natal chart. What do empty houses in astrology mean?

When you start to study the language of the sky, you learn that there are twelve houses in the natal chart. Each of them corresponds to a certain life area. Some of these areas are more important to us throughout life (as in they are the pivot of your life), for example the second house of money, seventh house of marriage or the tenth house of career.

It can be scary to notice that NOTHING is there in such an important house!

Does this mean that you’ll never have a career, a spouse, or you’ll never make a single penny in your life?

To answer this question in a nutshell,

NO, NOT AT ALL. It doesn’t mean that.

Empty houses in astrology are not about this, they can function perfectly well in your life without natal planets there.

(Imagine though if an empty eighth house would indicate that you’ll never die, or at least when you’ll grow very very old and become tired of living anyways.)

But then how to interpret your empty houses in astrology?

Meaning of Empty Houses in Astrology

Don’t worry, it doesn’t mean that you won’t experience anything good in the life areas of that house!

You can be happily married even though your seventh house is unoccupied. You can make a killing even though there are no planets in your second house.

An empty house in astrology in the natal chart just means that this house won’t be a major focus for you.

Each planet has its particular energy which you can (and are supposed to) use as a resource. Planets take these energies into the house where they are located, so you can utilize them in the corresponding life areas.

For example, if you have Mercury in the third house, you need to put Mercurian energy into use when you communicate or learn (this is a super beneficial placement, by the way). If you have Venus in the third house, too, you can rely on the Venusian energies in these life areas.

If a house is occupied by several planets, it requires a greater deal of your attention and efforts than the matters of the empty houses in astrology.

If you have planets in most of your houses, chances are you have many interests. You tend to spread yourself thin what is hardly sustainable in the long run as the day has only so many hours and human beings only have so much energy. While someone with more empty houses has the majority of their energy focused on only a few houses. As you can see, empty houses in astrology have quite a few benefits.

Why Are Some Houses Empty in the Birth Chart?

There are twelve houses in astrology (and in the natal chart). On the other hand, there are only ten planets:

the Sun
the Moon
Mercury
Venus
Mars
Jupiter
Saturn
Uranus
Neptune
and Pluto.

As you can see, there are less planets than houses, so no matter how you try to assign them, there will always stay some empty houses in the natal chart. It’s pretty normal to have 4-5 or even more empty houses in astrology.

(For those people who are not math savvy, there are at least two vacant houses.)

Of course, there are some more objects in use in astrology like asteroids, Arabian parts or the Moon’s nodes, but most astrologers consider the ten planets to be the most important influence over us.

Often, there are conjunctions or even a stellium (which includes three or more planets) in the chart. These planets are probably located in the same house, so in this case, there will be even more empty houses in the birth chart. There is a heavy emphasis on this house, it’s even the first thing that grabs your attention when you take a glance at the chart.

You can check which houses are empty in your birth chart by casting your chart on astrology websites.

How to Interpret an Empty House in Astrology?

If there are no planets in a house in the natal chart, this doesn’t mean that you can’t interpret it! You should interpret all houses, as they are all important, no matter whether they are occupied. Empty houses are just as important in astrology.

But how do you do it?

When interpreting empty houses in astrology, you need to look to the sign on the cusp of the house and its planetary ruler.

First find the zodiac sign on the cusp of the empty house in question. What is the element and mode of this sign? What are its strengths and weaknesses? This sign shows how you approach the matters of this house in your natal chart.Remember, empty houses in astrology are still important.

Each of us have all twelve signs in our charts, they are just mapped out differently. After you’ve found it, it’s time to find the ruling planet of this sign, too. Here is a list of each sign’s ruling planet in astrology:

Aries: Mars
Taurus: Venus
Gemini: Mercury
Cancer: Moon
Leo: Sun
Virgo: Mercury
Libra: Venus
Scorpio: Pluto
Sagittarius: Jupiter
Capricorn: Saturn
Aquarius: Uranus
Pisces: Neptune.

After you’ve found the planetary ruler, you need to analyze its position. Which sign and house is it located in? Is the ruler weak or strong in this sign? What aspects does it make with the other planets? Are these aspects harmonious or not? Do the planets work together easily?

Empty Houses in the Natal Chart: Nothing Will Happen There?

No, this house works just as well with the houses with planets! The fact that a house is empty doesn’t mean that nothing will ever happen there. It’s just that you won’t focus on this life area as much.

The twelve houses describe the needs of the human psyche. We all need all of them, just in different proportions.

Do you believe in reincarnation?

Some astrologers think that empty houses in astrology is a sign that you nailed the matters of this house in your previous lives. So if you have many empty houses in your natal chart, good for you! 🙂

In the following part, you can read about how planets can move into the empty houses in astrology.

Will Empty Houses in Astrology Always Stay Empty?

The answer to this question is again, no! If some houses were empty at the moment of your birth, it doesn’t mean that they will always stay empty. Empty houses in astrology get opportunities to develop fully, too!

First, planets keep moving, and they kept moving after your birth, too! Empty houses in astrology will contain sometimes a transiting planet (or even more transiting planets at a certain time).

These transits bring a lot of planetary energy to the matters of this house.

Depending on the qualities of the planet, this influence can make you think about this life area again, bring an easy flow of energy and new opportunities, bring res
