The sun has its joy in the ninth and the moon in the third the fifth was called good fortune and it was next it was opposite to the 11th house of of good spirit which is the opposition between venus in the fifth and jupiter in the 11th and then the sixth place was called the place of bad fortune and it was opposite to saturn which is called the place of bad spirit so finally mercury which has its joy in the first the first house is called the helm as well as the hour marker i don't want to go into this too much
But what ben and i pointed out in a paper that i wrote on the planetary joys scheme in 2013 which you can find by just doing a search for my name and planetary joys is that what was happening is that whoever came up with this scheme was distinguishing between the top half of the chart and they were associating it with the solar hemisphere which they were associating with the concept of the soul and the mind and the spirit and the bottom half of the chart they were associating with the lunar hemisphere
And the concepts of fortune and the body and physical incarnation and matter which creates this interesting distinction in terms of then what significations you assign to each of the houses if you're saying that the bottom half of the chart indicates bodily things and the top half of the chart indicates things that pertain to the mind or to the spirit from the planetary joys scheme the other discovery we made in 2012
Is that this is also where you get it's the origins the motivating factor for the assignment of the four elements to the signs the zodiac so previously it wasn't known how the signs of the zodiac came to be associated with the four classical elements of greek philosophy which are earth air fire and water but it turns out there's actually a reason for those assignments that's embedded in the planetary joys scheme and it has to do with this interesting thing that i probably shouldn't go into
Because i'm already making this a little bit longer than i expected than i wanted to by going on a bunch of digressions so i'll leave you to search for that just do a search for the planetary joys chris brennan and you'll find my paper which is titled the planetary joys and the origins of the significations of the houses and triplicities which i published online after publishing it originally in an esar journal or isar journal in 2013. so we'll not get bogged down in that eventually through these schemes
It led them to develop the basic significations of the 12 houses and while some of these significations that i'm showing here for people listening to the video version are still the same as they were 2 000 years ago when this system of 12 houses was introduced some of them have changed but for the most part it's still pretty pretty standard the first house signifies the body and the spirit the the second house signifies livelihood and possessions the third house signifies siblings and travels
The fourth house signifies parents and home the fifth house signifies children the sixth house indicates injury and illness and enemies the seventh house signifies marriage the spouse and partnership in general the eighth house is death and inheritance the ninth house is travel divination and astrology the tenth house is action reputation and advancement the 11th house is friends gifts and hopes and the 12th house in hellenistic astrology is things like suffering enemies weakness and dangers
So for the most part many of those significations they're introduced 2 000 years ago but they stay they've stayed relatively consistent with some minor changes over time due to the transmission of astrology over the centuries but what you have to understand is that most of those significations were introduced relatively quickly early in the late hellenistic period basically and in the century or two after that basically so the core of the new system of astrology of this four-fold system the first part was the planets
Which includes many of the significations the planets that we still use today the meanings of the planets as well as the concept of benefic versus malefic the concept of sect which is the difference between day and night charts also the concept of attributing gender to the planets and the idea of temperaments being associated with the planets as well as some other qualities in terms of the zodiac at this time in the hellenistic tradition the domicile and triplicity rulership schemes were introduced so was the classical element schemes of earth air fire and water the zodiac also became attributed gender of masculine or feminine as well as modalities
Which is cardinal fixed and mutable and the concept of reception was introduced at this point as well in terms of the houses we see the introduction of whole sign houses equal houses and quadrant houses all pretty early in the astrological tradition which i talk about in my book titled hellenistic astrology the study of fate and fortune i have a chapter on the origins of the different systems of house division but also the significations of the houses that i was just talking about the planetary joys scheme the concept of angularity of good and bad houses as well as the concept of lots which was kind of like a subset of looking at the significations of different houses
