It says that empty houses are places where you don't desire the activities of the house very much.

In houses with planets, you crave the things of the house like a crazing for cheesecake lol
In houses with no planets, you feel kind of stand-offish to the activities of the house.
Please ,share info on it.

Please, talk about any other "voids", too such as lack of an element(earth, fire, air,water)lack of a quadriplicity(?)--mutable, fixed, cardinal .

Please ,describe how it functions in your life in as much detail as you can .

Please talk about an unaspected planet, if you have one
How does it operate?
They are very rare. I did not realize how rare.
Thank you

I have no earth and an unaspected Venus.

I have a semi -sextile from the moon to Venus. Some astrologers call it unaspected ,some don't.
My moon makes one aspect to Mars--an 8 degree conjunction.
Some astrologers call that unaspected, too, I think.
I will try to describe how these feel ,later.
I realize that it is hard, after I asked the question
The houses are easy ,though LOL

I have empty 5th, 6th, 7th, 10th and 12th houses - all those areas are very important to me and I've never taken them for granted.

1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 8th, 12th don't have planets (placidus houses).

I have a singleton earth (Neptune in Capricorn, quite a conundrum).

As far as unaspected planets, I think they are more obviously expressed, as opposed to "lost". Like Ami, you have an unaspected Venus. You seem very Venusian to me.

If we have an unaspected planet in the horoscope, it is very likely that we aren't really very aware of all the things we do with it and how strongly we bring this planet to expression in daily life. An unaspected planet manifests itself unmistakably though! However, just to clear up a couple of misconceptions right off the bat: an unaspected planet is not weak, not insignificant, and not bad. On the contrary, many people who have achieved extraordinary things turn out to have had help in doing so from an unaspected planet in the horoscope. With unaspected planets, the question is not, therefore, whether we can achieve anything with them, because we definitely can. Instead, the question is how we go about it and how that feels inside.

My planets are in 6 houses. I have Saturn conjunct the ASC, so the first house.

Then,I have Venus in the 7th.
I have Sun,Mercury and Moon in the 8th.
I have Mars and Uranus in the 9th.
Pluto in the 10th.
Neptune in the 12th.

Where I planets occupied, I really care about that house.
It is true for me.

We crave them because our souls need to experience them in order to grow. We feel stand-offish in the latter, because we have already learnt the lessons involved...wouldn't want to repeat a class, would we?

However, if we neglect our empty houses, our next round trip will ensure a stellium there with Mars/Saturn/Pluto being likely candidates

But lack of an element IS lack of concern for what that element represents

For an empty house, look at where its ruler is located. That shows where that house's activities are expressed in your life.

Let's say you have an empty 8th house & your 8th house ruler in your 1st house. In that case, living your 1st house automatically means you will live your 8th. Your 8th is held inside your 1st.

Yes, I have Cap on the 3rd house cusp , Saturn is in the first. Communication is very important to me.

Thank you for that tid bit. I can add that.

Does it mainly apply to planets in the first house ,though ?

Does it mainly work that way for planets in the first only since the first house is the essential "you"

I wondered something similar.

My tentative conclusion - No. It works for every house. With the 1st, the house you're bringing to it may transpose itself more purely. The 1st house is pure Self. It's the house closest to a blank canvas in our chart. So whichever house you're bringing there may be very obvious, since its expression is less structured by the 1st than it would be by another house.

Examples!

Your 3rd house ruler is in your 1st. This shows that simply being who you are includes you communicating. This repeats your Gemini influence. (Since the planet is Saturn, this brings a seriousness and depth to you. Your communication is part of the struggle to find/be yourself. Again, this repeats your Gemini in the 8th house influence.)

If your 3rd house ruler were in your 5th house instead, then your 5th house would hold your 3rd. Your creative expression (fiction, drama, poetry, music) would be the way you make sense of the world. The 5th is different from the 1st - it's not so pure and elastic. There's more of a "personality" to it. So your 3rd house influence there may not seem as apparent. Someone looking at you from the outside may simply see an artist. But your *motivation* for that art is your 3rd house self. Living that 5th house would simultaneously make you live your 3rd house. You would *always* feel the 3rd as you did 5th house things.

Another example. If I'm remembering correctly, you have your IC ruler in your 9th house? This shows that as you do 9th house things - philosophize, spiritualize, astrolize - you center yourself. You find your home. For other people w/o their IC ruler there, the 9th house world could mean different things. It could be about pure understanding, or understanding other people, or serving their community. But with your 4th house ruler there, doing 9th house things automatically means you're finding your inner sense of home. It's a comfort. It touches your soul. An empty 4th house doesn't at all mean that finding a home is unimportant to you. Instead, its ruler shows where & how you're doing that.

Great example!

I know someone with the same astro - empty 2nd with its ruler in the 5th.

A way it works for him is that his self-esteem is closely tied up with his humor, creativity, and sex appeal. Criticism/rejection in 5th house matters devastate his self-worth. When he engages in 5th house activities, it's his 2nd house self that's expressing itself.
