Ancient Origins: The House of Joy, Creation, and Divine Play

In Mesopotamian star-lore, this part of the h...

Jupiter is the great magnifier. It expands whatever it touches — opportunity, knowledge, faith, confidence, blessings. Jupiter governs the part of your chart where you grow the most, where luck finds you, and where you naturally rise to meet your potential.

Mars is your engine. Your hunger. Your fight, your heat, your spark. It rules your impulse to pursue, to defend, to assert, to conquer, to create. If Venus is attraction, Mars is pursuit. If Venus is sensuality, Mars is sexuality.
Mars is the part of you that refuses to wait.

Mercury is your mental engine. It’s how you talk, how you learn, how you make sense of the world — and how you broadcast your ideas back into it. If the Moon is your emotional weather, Mercury is your internal narrator.
