Planets in Houses

The planets exert a great deal of energy in the house in which they are located in the birthchart, directed toward the function of the house. They represent action in the horoscope, and the house in which the planet resides is the home of the action in question. Thus, having several planets in one house can make the functions of that house very complex and often more significant in life.
