It’s that time of year when we have Mercury go retrograde. It started its pre show period on March 8th which gives a preview to what is to come. But if you recognize where life is wanting you to take a second look in the shadow period, you will be able to use mercury’s retrograde more efficiently. It’s not a time to panic, it is a time re-do, re-think, re-evaluate, re-organize, re-imagine. Mercury slows down to bring our attention to things that need our attention.

What is an empty house?

An empty house is a house that doesn’t have any planets. If the house however has asteroids, but no planets, it is still considered an empty house.

What is the meaning of an empty house?

The answer to this question is a little tricky, because all empty houses differ in meaning depending on the natal chart you are looking. There isn’t a “general” meaning for an empty house due to the unique possibilities an empty house can actually offer. It can be argued that the word “empty” can be misleading. Empty houses does not mean a lack of meaning for manifestation in your natal chart. Energy manifests everywhere in your chart through the many connections you have through planets and aspects.

This means that empty houses are indeed very significant in your natal chart. Even though you don’t have planets, facets of self-expression in these houses, the self-expression you express in other houses will often energetically bleed onto these empty houses through aspects with lords of these empty houses. Often, interpreting the connections between an empty house and another house with a planet in it can explain certain elements of the natal chart.

Is it normal to have an empty house?

It’s completely “normal.” There are twelve houses but ten planets. You will at least have two empty houses in your chart.

How do you interpret an empty house?

Cancer is ruled by the Moon, a planet that is focused on emotions. Emotions are usually seen in society to be weak, mistakenly undervalued and misunderstood, when it is actually a very strong force to use. Some people tend to not understand that to be emotionally strong is to be a leader since emotions are collectively not valued for what it is in society. The fluctuating nature of the Moon can tend some to think that Cancer is a mutable sign because of the constant change, and that’s due to the fact that Cancer’s esoteric ruler is in Neptune, a planet that rules the mutable sign of Pisces. The fluctuating nature that is represented here shows the fleeting nature of emotions as a whole, not the actions of Cancer as an archetype. Cancer actually uses the fleeting nature of emotions to initiate actions.

Cancer is also a sign that rules the home, which brings up the suggestion that they are fixed, when they’re not always like that. There will always be some kind of fixation, mutability, and cardinality of some sort for every sign, but the most natural tendency of energy is what exactly classifies the modality for all of the signs. Cancer is a cardinal sign because it is the only water sign that is willing to openly and clearly express their emotions to lead and do what they want, even though they would really love to keep themselves private due to their feminine nature. Scorpio would much rather keep those emotions hidden to keep them stable as a fixed sign. Pisces as a mutable sign will either hide or show their emotions to go with the emotional flow of the world.

I think society tends to place nostalgia and thinking of the past in a negative light, when I think it is essential for us to move forward. In order to move forward, we must look back. In order to achieve our wants from the world, the 10th House, naturally ruled by Capricorn, we have to reflect our roots. We must evaluate the resources we were given in the 4th House, naturally ruled by Cancer. We have to reflect our past selves and relationships if we want to create a new self and relationship with others. We have to learn if we want to go forward.
