In this article I will continue a little more with the topic about the management of the homes. This is an important subject since understanding the functions of each planet for a given horoscope is critical not only in the interpretation of the horoscope itself, but also in forecasting in the time frame. Very oftern we come across opinions that when one person in a given transit* or a department* of Jupiter has received an increase in salary and status, the same we should expect also for any other person. And this is not right.
* transit and transit are terms from the predictive astrology. They indicate briefly forecasting methods by which is determined what is the movement of planets over time as related to the birthday horoscope. And on this basis, the respective analysis are made.
Now I'll write about some additional things. As it probably already became clear, it is important what kind of "role" the planet takes as manager of an given area. But this "role", called functional status and tasks should be combined with the inherent nature of the planet. This I actually mentioned in the previous article with examples.
I will write down how the different planets act, depending on their true nature and which one of them holds what "key". This innate nature should be taken into account along with their functional one when interpreting.
The Sun
The home, managed by the Sun is the area in which the individual in a person is expressed. The area in which he has the capacity to be manifested. In one of the first article I pointed out that the sun shows why power has been given to us, what purpose has our existence. And if the sign relates to the qualities, the home, which is govern by the Sun and the home in which it stands, are the areas of life where that energy is shown in the best way.
The Moon
The home govern by the Moon, defines the areas through which one usually seeks rest and comfort. They are very natural for man and represent his way of feeling good. The Moon itself shows what needs we have, what form we will give to the solar energy. The sign defines qualities. Homes, which are associated with the moon - the areas through which we get to meet these needs.
Mars
Homes managed by Mars are mostly related to what and against what one is willing to fight. In them is the "source" of its applied energy (do not confuse it with the solar, which is rather creative, motivational).
Astronomers call Mars the "red planet" because it emits red light in the night sky, and its color is reddish brown. Red Mars is focused on the action, on the initiative, it loves the tension and effort. Mars is willing to spend its energy just for pure entertainment. It likes to be furious, to feel angry and enraged and finds pleasure in speed, hazards and accidents.
From the homes, to which Mars is related we may conclude also about what fulfils humans.
Mercury
Homes managed by Mercury relate to areas in life for which man gets the better understanding. About them one is able to communicate well, to receive and give information, to be objective, and also to use them in a way that ensures maximum benefit and productivity.
Mercury has the ability to maintain complete objectivity and impartiality in everything. It is the fastest moving planet in the solar system and, as such, Mercury provides information about what a man most easily understands, what he is skilfull at and has lightness and flexibility.
So far I have not mentioned that Mercury is an important factor in terms of what, and where we can be most successful doing. Because the success in society is a consequence of how we transmit our thoughts and ideas to the others. And, respectively how we perceive theirs. No matter what type of communication we use - whether we communicate through movement, thought, speech writing, manual work, etc. Actually when I say success I mean "to sell ourselves". Mercury aims to benefit. So here I am talking about the things using which one is best sold in the society. Professional status is something different.
Jupiter
The homes, which Jupiter manages are the areas where one invests most optimism and idealism, faith and hope. Through them, most often a person contributes to his charity share to society. These are areas in which one helps and donates his portion of wisdom, teaches the other something. Even if he is not aware of it.
Common confusion is that justice and wisdom associated with Jupiter must have "good faith" according to our human understanding. Jupiter controls the laws. But also the natural ones as well. Indeed, these first. The social, humane laws are a result. And sometimes the natural law requires that something is destroyed to save the population. A good King can take someone's head, just because he has to protect his people.
There is an interesting film - "Anna and the King". It is made for the true story of an English teacher. In this film there is an episode in which the King of Siam sentenced to death a girl disguised as a monk to go to her beloved. The young man was also sentenced to death. When Anna opposes the death penalty, the King says that he has no right to violate the law of the country because in this way he would risk the security and faith of his citizens in his ability to manage them fairly.
Think about that. Whether the natural law must always be "fair" according to our human perceptions.
Venus
The homes governed by Venus are th areas through which a person is seeking satisfaction of their desires and is seeking pleasure.
Venus is the actress that would be embodied in any role to get love, adoration and pleasure. It seduces and promises pleasures. But it never allows to be caught because the pleasure for it is in being desired and pursued.
Venus wants to have all kinds of riches, jewelry and luxury, not for mere possession, but to be proud of them and because of the admiration of others. Therefore, the homes of Venus also reflect what a man is proud of.
Saturn
The homes managed by Saturn are the areas in which man is faced with some uncertainty, and therefore right there he is constantly looking for some stabilit, steadiness. Usually one is not inclined to any changes in these areas because it means to lose again his security. The events, people and things that are subject to these homes often come to life with some delay and / or after overcoming some obstacles and making some serious efforts. There are also the responsibilities of the man, those things for which willing or not, has some obligations.
In the model card in the previous article I mentioned something important. That with the "malefiks" in life are dealing best the malefik planets (such as Mars and Saturn), as they have the necessary equipment. While for the planets benefices this task is more difficult. And vice versa. Why is this so? It is derived from the natural characteristics of the planets.
Mars is hot, strong, brave and aggressive in nature. He uses every opportunity to impose and express its strength. What happens when this resilient planet has the "luck" of managing some of the difficult homes? Some of the homes that show events that are unpleasant to people. Or to stand in such a home. Quite simply - it feels like at home. Like to give the soldier the status of a "soldier" and the task to be involved in organizing the defense of the country.
Certainly the planets that have congenital maleficent nature, always remain such. No matter in which area (home) they are they will still bring something destructive. Because the home in which they reside must bare everything that they bring. Some homes would "fade" when subjected to the intense energy of Mars – for example the seventh home, the home of the partners, of the other people. The hot Mars gladly enters into any conflict situations. Imagine what happens when it stands in the seventh home. Each partner of the man and especially the intimate one, will be placed in this tense environment produced by Mars.
Other homes, however, as the 6th, would love to use this hot and intense energy of Mars, it is welcome.
For example:
Mars manages 5th and 10th homes and stands in the ninth home. In its function, it is benefik – it manages the 5th and 10th homes. In nature it is malefik. The position of a Malefik in the 9th houme will bring some destruction in the home - quarrels and unnecessary disputes with the father, or disturbances related to education. However for the 5th and 10th homes this position of Mars in the 9th is extremely beneficial.
Or in other words - the true nature will affect the home, in which the planet is placed. While the functional status creates a link between two areas: the fifth is related with the ninth. Here Mars only creates the connection.
Let’s take another planet. Jupiter. In the example I gave you in the previous article, Jupiter manages the 2nd and 5th homes and is placed in 5th home.
As natural benefik it will bring its contribution nature in the affairs of the fifth home. As a manager of the home it will create a link between the second and fifth homes. The simplest interpretation of this is: the resource is directly related to creativity and talents of the man, to the good luck.
The planets themselves apart from being managers of certain areas and therefore responsible for them bring also the so called natural signification. Each planet for itself, no matter where it falls in the horoscope, manages certain things in life. For example, the Moon is a natural signifier of the mother and this has nothing to do with the fact, in which home it stands or which home it runs. The natural signification is also part of the tasks of a planet.
Above I indicated that Mercury has a special attitude towards the success of a man precisely because of this natural signification.
Why do I mention this? In the given example Jupiter on one hand governs the fifth home in the horoscope. One of the meanings of the fifth home is to create an offspring, the children of a man. But Jupiter also according to its natural signification is also related to children and reproduction of the man. On the other hand Jupiter stands at the fifth home. Did you notice what happens? Three times we came to the same thing - the fifth home and the offspring. There is no way that this does not become more essential. Anything that is heavily emphasized, inevitably attracts the eye means something special.
What?
In the next article I will write about this issue, and also about the natural signification of the planets.
