I have Venus in Libra in the 5th house at 27 Degrees 16'45" and Saturn in Scorpio at 28 Degrees 51'50" I read from two sources that if a planet falls within the final degrees of a house then it may take on qualities from the preceding or next house. Here is a quote I found online from myastrologybook.com : "If Saturn is within 10° of the descendant (seventh house cusp), then it is conjunct the descendant and much of the foregoing interpretation starts to become weaker. If Saturn is in the sixth house AND within 4° or 5° of the descendant, then it is said to be on the "dark side" of the seventh house, and its influence will be felt in the seventh as well as in the sixth house. The closer a sixth house Saturn is to the descendant, the more it will be interpreted as though it were in the seventh house; when less than 3° from the descendant, a sixth house Saturn expresses itself primarily -- and eventually entirely -- in the seventh house." So does the bolded part apply to me and my chart? Curiously the website doesn't include the same blurb in its page on Venus in 5th house. My Venus is very close the 6th house, it seems. I've read descriptions of Venus in 6th house and I can't say it really applies to me. As Venus is well-placed in the 5th house I want to keep it that way. Please someone who knows more about astrology shed some light on this for me! Thanks so much in advance!
Actually usually if a planet is within 5 degrees of the next house, then it can be considered in the next house. However with your Venus, it's difficult to say whether it's in the 5th or 6th unless we can see the chart. House systems can change house cusps a bit, so it's hard to say where exactly your Venus falls without seeing a chart. The only houses that are the same in all house systems (except whole and equal signs) are the 1st, 4th, 7th, and 10th. These are called the angles. When the other house systems calculate house cusps, they in some way divide the houses between the angles.
