Planetary Overlays in Synastry
Planetary overlays show how one person’s planets activate, illuminate, or complicate specific areas of another person’s life. This index gathers every planet‑in‑house synastry series in one place, offering a clear map of how each planet behaves when it lands in each of the twelve houses.
Overview
Planetary overlays are the foundation of synastry. When someone’s planet falls into one of your houses, it activates that part of your life — identity, values, communication, home, romance, work, partnership, intimacy, worldview, career, community, or the unconscious. Use this page as your map: choose a planet, then explore how it behaves in each of the twelve houses.
