the house colors the planet the sign adds detail, but 4th house moon doesn't equal "cancer moon" it's a really bad misconception that people have that's sort of useless when reading charts

Couldn't agree more. Houses represent areas of life, not personality in a direct sense. It only indirectly relates to personality (or rather more so character) when a particular Planet is very highlighted by in an Angular House or near the Angles--and especially so in relation to the Asc/1st it's most "self" and directly related.

I still see people say things like well they have a loaded 1st House so they are very Aries like. Gah!

No, no, no, no. It just means those energies/symbols are very highlighted in self--the person takes on the very energy and archetype of that planet(s). Doesn't make them Aries like at all, if it's Neptune, Venus, Moon, Mercury, Jupiter, Uranus, etc Rising. Mars does, some, but even then, there are some definite differences between Mars and Aries. Mars is almost purely physically focused. It's practically pure testosterone, and very RED.

Aries on the other hand, often has an intellectual side to it, though it's also physical oriented as well. After all, it's the Sign that rules the friqqen head aka a symbol for the intellect. I have seen a number of very smart people with highlighted Aries. Though, not necessarily the genius like levels of Aqua and Sag, because these come with increased intuition which bumps it up into a whole other level of perception. But more "left brained" kind of smart/intelligent. (Aries is really almost like a combo/blend of Mars and Mercury--it has both red and yellow sides to it).

People with Late Virgo/Early Libra ascendants have their planets in houses opposite of the signs that their planets are in. How does this work? Considering planets in the houses embody the sign that rules the house. Ex: I am have a Capricorn moon but it falls in the 4th house (cancer). Would this make me more emotional like a cancer or colder like my Capricorn? Venus in Scorpio is in my 2nd house (Taurus). Do I love like a Scorpio or like a Taurus?

Integrate the information that is there. The signs and houses are not in conflict. Both are present and both are relevant.

- Planet is the energy.
- Signs are modes of expression.
- Houses are areas of life or experience.

So the person (like me) with Moon in Capricorn is already someone who is practical and prone to containment of feelings, and in the 4th house would be a homebody, a private person who experiences their feelings more consciously and comfortably at home and with trusted persons in a safe, personalized environment rather than in public or even with some acquaintances.

No, it doesn't make you more emotional like a Cancer, because Moon isn't in Cancer.

While there are similarities between houses and signs, they should not be considered exactly equivalent or interchangeable.

You're asking the questions here by putting signs at the center because that's what you're most familiar with. Houses are areas of life, not modes of expression.
