Questions about stelliums (multiple planets in one house) or the absence of planets in a particular house (like Elise\u2019s query about the 7th house) lead us to consider:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\"><strong>House Rulers:<\/strong>\u00a0Even an \u201cempty\u201d house is ruled by a planet, and where that ruler is placed in synastry adds immense detail.<\/li>\n<li class=\"\"><strong>House Cusps:<\/strong>\u00a0Aspects to house cusps are equally vital. A planet making a strong aspect to the 7th house cusp, for instance, can be just as potent as a planet\u00a0<em>in<\/em>\u00a0the 7th.<\/li>\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Overall Chart Dynamics:<\/strong>\u00a0No single placement tells the whole story.
