Planets in Houses: Experiencing Your Environment Planets [Paperback]

Robert Pelletier (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 1997

What Robert Pelletier does in Planets in Houses has never been done before in the history of astrology. He discusses the meaning of each planet in each house as derived by counting from each of the other eleven houses, and he discusses the meaning of each house position in relation to the other houses with which it forms trines, sextiles, squares and oppositions, inconjuncts and semi-sextiles. In each chapter, wheel symbols graphically show the seventeen different house relationships delineated for each planet. Finally, Pelletier delineates the Sun-Moon polarities in terms of the wheel of houses: for each house position of the Sun, he interprets each of the twelve possible related house positions of the Moon. Each chapter presents the traditional meaning of the house and explains how the derivative house system applies to it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Accurate and Original Technique! You need to try it!!, October 25, 2005

This review is from: Planets in Houses: Experiencing Your Environment Planets (Paperback)

This is an excellent book for any Astrologer (probably advanced level will get more out of it) looking for new predictive techniques. Mr. Pelletier introduces a powerful derivitative method for the planetary position changes throughout the year. Comparing our natal Planetary alignment to new positions, we can describe a person's environment, feelings, situations, cautionary tips, and more.

For example if your Mars was originally in your 5th House and this month your Mars lives in your 9th House. This might be interpretted as an excellent time to develop your Mental and Scholastic abilities. Investing in your brains this month will be rewarded later, it will lead to something more... So don't miss this time period when you may be feeling inclined towards studies of some kind...

There are so many applications with Pelletier's creative technique, I have applied it to Solar Returns, Lunar Returns, and Daily Charts. So far, I am quite happy with the results and accuracy (especially the accuracy---wow!). While many predictions seem interesting enough, there are a few that catch me by surprise. I am glad I was prepared for the upcoming events! For this reason, I consider this one of my MOST VALUABLE Astrology books.

It certaintly is a different method than other astrologists commonly use. It will lead you to unique insights many times. If Astrology is about predictions and guidance to live life to the fullest...then this book is living up to that measure beautifully!

Thank you Mr. Pelletier, for all your dilligence and perseverence, leading to this Great Volume of work.

This review is from: Planets in Houses: Experiencing Your Environment Planets (Paperback)

This is an excelent guide to the astrological houses which should be in the bookcase of every astrologer. The author is careful not to go too far in his statements about house systems and planetary placements, something which beginning and neophyte astrologers will apreciate. All in all an excellent book, well worth having.

This review is from: Planets in Houses: Experiencing Your Environment Planets (Paperback)

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.
