Your dominant house .....
Understanding Your Dominant House in Astrology
Your dominant house in astrology reveals the life area you focus on most, such as relationships or security. For example, a seventh house dominance highlights relationship themes, while a second house indicates a focus on security and valuables. Recognizing your dominant house helps interpret your personality and life experiences accurately.
I am 12th House dominant, Sun, Merc and Pluto.
Over the years I prefer to see the 12th house in a positive light.
Sun:the 12th house Sun is the gift of tuning int the collective, merging one’s own ego with the divine and a deep sense of connection with spirituality. The curse of the 12th house unconscious Sun is a low self-esteem, inferiority complexes and issues with identity.
Mercury:Mercury in the 12th house talks about the gift of “sight”, of intuitive understanding, storytelling, meditation and mental creativity. Problems with Mercury in the 12th house can include overthinking, having troublesome or defeating thoughts and not trusting your own ideas.
Pluto: When we have Pluto in the 12th house, we may bury, hide or distort power. So, we need to become aware of our own inner power and own it in order to access the transformative energy of this powerhouse planet.
Use it or loose it is my attitude toward the 12th.

Would this be the house where I have most planets in? I have Venus, Jupiter and Saturn in my 12th, then sun, Mercury and Uranus in my 2nd house
12th house - spirituality, karma and things hidden - yes I relate
2nd house - stability and values - yea I relate but surprised after reading about Uranus in 2nd house. I can’t really relate with that as I’ve always had steady employment since I was much younger. But I do value my freedom in general and wish I could travel more.
Venus:the downside of Venus in the 12th house is, of course, unconscious relationships which can lead to endings. However, a well-understood 12th house Venus gives the gift of spiritual relationships and a willingness to sacrifice.
Jupiter:Jupiter is probably one the best 12th house planets. Here, it’s said that he is protective and that angels have your back! The worst that can happen with Jupiter here is a bit of excessiveness which we may not be aware of.
Saturn:In ancient astrology, Saturn is saying of have his “joy” in the 12th house. Yes, he can sometimes indicate anxieties and fears which we aren’t aware of, which may affect our lives negatively, but he also says that we are able to master those fears, with work.
11th house. Nooooo

All definitely relatable for me.
This article is good too, it talks about how to heal the planets in the 12th house. I tried reiki a few days ago and didn’t feel significant changes but I think I might go back. I also bought a healing bracelet while I was there
Thank you for sharing that 😄
1st house - venus, Mercury, moon & Saturn
12th house- sun and mars
8th house - Virgo and Uranus
Yes I relate to the 1st & 12th houses, not sure about 8th since they are generational planets?
The other two make sense more.
1st house - beginnings, self, identity, appearances
12th house - endings, healing, spirituality, closure, hidden things
Pretty fascinating that I’ve got both beginnings & endings. I have struggled with self, identity, appearance & acceptance of these things. Especially the last maybe 12 years I’ve done a tremendous amount of personal growth, healing, closure, and opened up my vault of hidden things. Yes, spirituality was part of this exploration process too. Beginning in a better way in acceptance of myself and a healthier road. I’m far more at peace this way 🙂 but interesting the shared items in 8 th house.. I left those behind to get to this place. Huh
How do you find your dominant house?

You’re first house dom, Puzzle, it’s the one that’s most loaded
Aries energy 😀
My dominant house is 3rd house (Gemini), with all Sagittarius planets inside, Sun, Mercury, and Neptune.
The 3rd House Rules Transportation
Transportation is another subject that is referred to in this part of the natal chart, including both long-distance travel, as well as short-distance trips.
Correspondence, travel, and one's skills and talents are additionally referred to in this particular area of the natal chart. Having Mercury as its ruling planet, the third house is in charge of communication.
Needs and wants to be educated are communicated through this third house as well, and also a considerable measure of issues surrounding how one uses of the web are to be seen here.
Says my social life is fulfilling, talkative and exciting- hmmm. Maybe sometimes, but not all the time. Depends on the company.
3 planets in 12th but its the lesser planets (saturn, uranus, neptune) otherwise 2nd house (mercury and n node), 3rd house (sun and moon), and 4th house (venus and jupiter) are all tied with 2 planets.
Does the significance of the planet matter?
I probably relate most to what 2nd and 4th house stands for.
Mine is 12th house with 3 planets there: sun, merc and saturn.
I can relate. I need lots of time being alone with my thoughts.. I enjoy solitary life although it clashes with mars and venus in 11th house.

Guess that explains 20 years with an Aries 😂😂
Mine's equally split between the 11h (Sun and Mercury) & the 12th ( Moon and Venus). That being said my Jupiter conjuncts my Asc so I'm really not sure. I guess I see/feel influences of em all, even the Pluto in my 6th 😶

That’s astrology for you
3 planets in 12th but its the lesser planets (saturn, uranus, neptune) otherwise 2nd house (mercury and n node), 3rd house (sun and moon), and 4th house (venus and jupiter) are all tied with 2 planets.
Does the significance of the planet matter?
I probably relate most to what 2nd and 4th house stands for.
Personal planets would hold more significance .....

Does strength of placement matter (idk if thats the right term).
For example I have exalted Venus and mars, Taurus Venus in 4th and Cap Mars in 5th.
I feel these planets the most... or maybe thats just my preference.

I have 2 in 1H, 2 in 3H, and 2 in 7H. Sun and Moon in 1H; Mercury and Venus in 3H; and Uranus and Neptune in 7H. So... All three houses?

I am all about creativity and all the self expression it comes with.
I’m very fertile with ideas and NOT kids
Not big into love affairs or romances
I have zero kids
But I have birth more creations and more to come

Its okay
Like Cake says, there’s a point system too. Let me know if that makes sense?
If we go by the number of planets it would be 6th house but if we go by points it would be 8th house.

2nd house. Has all my scorpio planets there. Mercury venus and pluto. But it doesnt "shine" like my first house. I will say tho that it is a strong theme in my life. The more money I used to get I would self destruct. And I have touched a good amount of money. I have sold weed in my life. I have been robbed. I have been on top of the world for a good period of time. And I have lost it all at once. But I work hard as fuck. It has been a cycle of having it all and losing it but I come back stronger and stronger and stronger. My self esteem has gone up and down also. Until I changed what I bases it on. Money has been a huge focus for me but not to be wealth. Stability is far more important to me. And I will say my sensuality is high

My 2nd house Moon (and Mars) totally agree with this
1st and yes.
5 and 7 are pretty strong, but have been completely outshines by the 1st house. I don't even think of or want relationships, children, and love anymore.

Selective
“The first is the house of me-first self-interest, but let’s not be simplistic now that we’re engaged on a walkabout here in the “first” of the houses. The 1st house has the inordinately difficult task of living out the “I” we must all discover as we go through life. If the chart were comprised of Tarot cards symbolising the self’s journey, this would be the Fool’s house, and 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚 𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭.

“This is not unlike Aquarius’ journey, but independence and freedom are intellectual concepts for Aquarius in ways dissimilar to the issues of the 1st house. Freedom of thought, action, and self-perception are the lifeblood of the 1st house, and are 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐝, making the task of a lifetime self-definition.“
