Planets in Houses: Experiencing Your Environment Planets Paperback – January 6, 1997

I am so glad to have found this text! I continuously refer back to it to gain a deeper understanding of charts, as it's method of analyzing aspects through planetary positions in their houses is far more thorough than what you will find in other books. It is rare to find an astrology book that will help you in such a specific and concise manner. I agree with a previous review in that the derivative house meanings aren't so useful but they are only a small portion of the book and I only dislike it because it is too analytical for me to get anything out of it. An astrology book that is TOO analytical is fine by me. One day I might get to that point where I can actually use it. The book's main focus is on going through each house, and identifying the meaning of all the aspects to each planet when it is placed in that house. (correction: not all aspects. some are left out.) It's probably my favorite astro book I have right now and I recommend it to anyone who wants a serious understanding of the subject.

If you want me - I'll be in my reading chair. It will take me a while to absorb this information. Planets in Houses could be a very confusing book if you don't comprehend Horary astrology and/or "turning" the chart. Definitely not a beginning astrology book; however, I find it very interesting. Live and learn.

By far one of the most valuable & full of knowledge, all in 1 book this deserves to cost more for the amount of info ur getting , the writer truly put sooo much effort and it shows . Brilliant

Wonderful book that gives more insight into the natal chart.

I don't know what that other reviewer is saying that this book doesn't tell you what it means if saturn is in your 9th house, so if you're looking for boiled down astrology that popular media consumes this is NOT for you. This book has instructions on how to use it and how to read your chart and what all these aspects mean, in the beginning of the book and in the beginning of each chapter there are summarizations of meanings and then you'll see the detailed info like I attached. I hoped to get the same cover I saw on the product page- I didn't but the contents are what matters so it's not a big deal but I took one star off because I wanted my books to match. If the cover doesn't affect you and your bookshelf aesthetic it's a great addition for anyone who is seriously or deeply invested in astrology.

This is a great book on the derivative house system. The techniques seem to be accurate. I use this book all the time now when looking a my chart and other people I know. The book will give one plenty to think about in terms of how to apply a planet's position in a sign to houses. Lots of food for thought in astrological terms. I highly recommend this book.

This book is a bit confusing at first, and it approaches house interpretations in relation to the planets in them and their aspects to planets in other houses. It's very interesting and I'm glad I got it, would definitely get it again!

This book by Pelletier is very confusing to me. I have tried to understand it but it just does not make sense to me yet, after trying to understand it several times. For some unknown (to me) reason, he breaks each planet in house into twelve more planets in houses, with all their corresponding meanings. As a consequence, I don't feel I can use it to determine and understand meanings of planets in houses. It's just too complex.
