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

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.

The matters associated with a house with a stellium or the Sun and one or two other planets can even be a career indicator. For instance, a friend with a stellium in the third house started a very successful answering service. A travel agent had several planets in the ninth house. Many academics or spiritual teachers also have a ninth house emphasis. The eighth house can show mediumistic tendencies, when strong, and also is one indicator of the potential for wealth.

Empty houses or sectors indicate that major planetary energy isn’t being deployed toward matters of that house, but instead is focused elsewhere. Therefore, matters of that house are apt to take a back seat to matters of houses where planets are massed. A woman with no planets in the fourth or fifth but the Moon in the tenth is likely to be more fulfilled as a career woman than as a traditional homemaker.

Just don’t conclude that an empty house means nothing will ever happen in the areas of life that house governs. One of Jeanne Dixon’s empty houses is the third, signifying communication, and yet her columns and books have been the foundation of her success. We would look to Mercury and to Gemini, since they are related to the third house. They more than compensate for the empty house, because she has Gemini rising and Mercury conjunct the Midheaven.

Many novices freak out if their seventh house is vacant, thinking it means they will never marry. Consider what else in the chart may compensate. How strong is their Venus? Do they have major placements in Libra, especially the Sun, Moon, or Ascendant? Librans tend to marry, whether their choices are sound ones or not.

Where is the ruler of the seventh house? If the ruler of the seventh is in the fourth and the fourth is strongly tenanted, then forming a family and maintaining a home life is a stronger drive than marriage itself. The marriage may be a means to that end.

Another thing to consider is that houses that are empty at birth don’t remain empty throughout life. Transiting or progressed planets that move into an empty house tend to remain there for years. They stimulate new events and conditions in the matters of that house.

Yeah, anna1, I'm not sure if what I quoted was misread or misinterpreted to say the opposite of what it actually says but it pretty much says you can have children and that just because you have an empty house does not mean you wont have what the house represents.

It also goes on to say that if you have planets elsewhere you should have important things happen in the house where those are. This does not mean nothing happens elsewhere.

That's not how it goes with empty houses, it's not like - you don't have that house in your chart... If that was the case - then you wouldn't have a childhood, you wouldn't have an inner child - that's fond of entertainment and creative stuff, even romance... if not especially. Thus, you wouldn't be able to fall in love - you wouldn't even know what it's like. Imagine how that would go - for someone with an empty first house/ASC... faceless people without a personality, a new breed altogether - living among us... ^^

Nah, it's nothing like that. If you had some planets in the 5'th house - those planets would also influence - your approach to child related stuff - starting with your inner child and... your future children. Might even define their personalities. Though, with an empty 5'th house - this house is simply less influential overall - compared to the ones with planets. And yet, there's still some available info - which can be tied to children, as in:

The ruling planet of your 5'th house - of Gemini (Mercury) is in 2nd house. Thus, you might postpone the idea of having children - till you feel like reached a place of financial stability. So, don't worry... as long as you want children - when you'll feel ready you could give it a try. As far astrology goes - there's nothing showing otherwise.

Even more than that... there's people with a heavy 5'th house - whom might be against the idea of having children - exactly for that reason (cause of those planets). I know a Leo with his Sun in 5'th house and 2 other planets in Virgo and he's to self-centered - he's to hooked on entertainment and his own inner child - to make room for others. Because with 5'th house in Leo - the ruling planet is actually in the 5'th house, so it's all about him. Thus, he rejects the idea of having children - and that won't change unless he changes... or maybe a women could change his mind some day. ^^

Thankyou for such detailed explanations. It makes me feel good 🙂

Empty houses are pretty neutral, neither good nor bad.

You won't have any birth chart energy focused there, but you will have transits in Gemini that affect that house.
That's true, transits - are quite potent at shaking the empty houses. In which way... that depends on ones evolution through life. With 5'th house (for example), it all starts with the early moments of our childhood - when we learn how to play and have fun. Then, couple of years latter - we're starting to show some creative potential (the 2nd step). Next, as we're approaching puberty - we get some taste of romance - our first crushes (the 3rd step). While the 4'th step that can be linked to the 5'th house - is obviously... children.

Transits - can enhance/enrich/expands - each of those steps. Which for us translates in experience (leveling up - as they put it in video games).

Other than transits, we can check the Solar Returns - cause some of them happen to place a lot of focus on a given house (the 5'th house - in this case). Their influence can be felt the whole year (till next Solar Return).

And also - the Progressed chart, where both the signs and the house change (with next signs/houses).

Yeah and I have Jupiter in fifth house as well in transits chart


Jupiter is transiting Virgo right now. Was already in Gemini 2013/2014 and will return in Gemini in 2025. Jupiter is a bit slower - and need 12 years to get in same point again.

Though, in your natal chart - you have Jupiter in 6'th house, so maybe it already shifted in 5'th house - in your Progressed chart.

You're welcome. 🙂
