Planets in Houses PART 1

So what does it mean to have a planet in each sign? The interactions are so complex, and one can not just think in terms of positive or negative relationship. One must instead consider the elements, energies, and qualities that the planets possess; and analyze if the influence they exert is pure or tainted. A planet can either be at home in its sign where it is happy and exerts normal influence. If the planet is in detriment it is in the sign opposite its ruler and influence is blunted. If a planet is exalted its qualities are heightened or stimulated by a sign that gives it praise. If a planet is fallen its power is diminished or scattered in a sign that does not welcome it. Here is a quick little guide to help better understand.
