http://www.sunnyray.org/Empty-astrological-houses.htm

qute: "Empty astrological house is a somewhat puzzling term, especially if you have just started exploring astrology. In essence, you get an empty house if any house in your birth chart is not occupied by a planet. If you take a closer look at a number of horoscopes, you will see that most of them have at least one, if not several empty houses. So the question that naturally occurs is how these empty spaces should be treated. Let us first quickly go through the 12 houses, so that we can see what they represent:
1. First house: ruled by Aries - "I Am". Our identity, self-awareness, vitality. Our personality and attitude. How other people see us.
2. Second house: ruled by Taurus - "I possess". Our material and immaterial possessions, our resources. Money and talents.
3. Third house: ruled by Gemini - "I think". Our immediate surroundings. Our way of communication and intellectual abilities.
4. Fourth house: ruled by Cancer - "I feel". Our private life, family and home. Where we feel safe and secure.
5. Fifth house: ruled by Leo - "I command". Our creativity and self expression. Leisure, sensual life, procreation.
6. Sixth house: ruled by Virgo - "I analyze". Our daily life, work and skills. Colleagues and health.

7. Seventh house: ruled by Libra - "I balance". Our partnerships in private and business life. Associations and contracts.
8. Eight house: ruled by Scorpio - "I desire". Our assistance that we get from others. Our passions. Regeneration, sexuality and transformation.
9. Ninth house: ruled by Sagittarius - "I perceive". Our higher life and education, both spiritual and mundane. Abstract concepts, religion.
10. Tenth house: ruled by Capricorn - "I utilize". Our public life and career, our status in the society. Professional destiny.
11. Eleventh house: ruled by Aquarius - "I know". Our group relations and activities, our cooperative projects. Dreams and humanitarian work.
12. Twelfth house: ruled by Pisces - "I believe". Our endings, enemies and difficulties. Self destructive powers and secrets"

https://skywriter.wordpress.com/2011/07/31/full-houses-vs-empty-houses-in-your-chart% E2% 80% 94what-to-expect/

This is an excerpt from Donna’s New Insights into the Astrology Chart, an ebook collection of readers’ favorite articles, available at moonmavenpublications.com for $ 15.

When you scan a chart, some houses are empty while others are relatively full. Here, I pay attention only to the basic ten planets, not to a dozen asteroids or the Arabian parts, because those basic planets represent major focuses and expenditures of energy. What factors you include in your scan, of course, are up to you.

Given twelve houses and only ten planets, at least two houses will be vacant. However, when several planets clump together in a single house–as often happens with the Sun, Mercury, and Venus–even more houses are unoccupied.

This is as it should be. We can only scatter our energies in so many directions before we become as fragmented as the asteroid belt. The person whose planets are deployed in many different houses tends to have many interests and to try to juggle many responsibilities and connections. Whether they are successful at it or whether they become ineffectual dilettantes depends on other factors in the chart.

Full houses depict highly significant areas of life, where we put lots of eggs in a single basket. Where we expend our energy is where we tend to get results, so a full house is an area where meaningful people, situations, and events are clustered.

If you have several good planets in the eleventh house but nothing in the fourth, friends will be major supports and may outweigh family in importance in adulthood. Likewise, club officers often have significant eleventh house placements."

Empty houses just mean you have to look for that area of life elsewhere. Like for instance, I have a empty 5th house aqaurius but the ruler is in the third house. All my leisure time or what I find fun will be done In the area of short travel, and interacting with my immediate environment. If I had a planet there, my focus for that energy would be on that house.

And I do enjoy riding around, small talk and being out in about that's how I always end up finding love
if you have an empty 5th house, you don't need t focus on that house at all.

you said you have major planets in 1st house, that's good. it's a powerful house. it is the house of SELF. Meaning you have will power in many ways. you persevere.

a 2nd house which is EMPTY means the individual leaves behind material possessions. It doesn't sound good right??

well it's not important to this person, so their life must be rifed with going to place to place, (travel maybe?) and then never acquire possessions.

I have a number of houses without planets. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 10th and 12th houses are empty.

Sooo, I have no identity, self-awareness or vitality? No possessions. No communication or intellectual capacity. No family or home. No creativity or self-expression. I should be unemployed and have poor health. Low status. And possibly suicidal.

Obviously, I'm being a little sarcastic. But I'm not sure empty houses typically mean much.

O yes I know its just I was pointing out that even when a house is empty doesn't mean it isn't active its just not a central focus


Like my first house I do put a heavy focus on myself and I don't need to learn my lessons else where for it but my fifth house being empty it learns it'd lesson in the same area that the house ruler is that's my take tho .

Your explanation was helpful to me, and I agree with you. I have that placement and that's exactly how it manifests for me.
