The different houses point to different aspects of your life. Even if you have two people who both had an empty 2nd House Cusp in cancer, but one person had the Moon in 7th, in Sagittarius, and the other in the 10th house, in Pisces, their interpretations would be far more individualised to the both of them.Learn about the first 6 houses. This technique can be applied to every house and gives us a lot more information than if they were simply disregarded-the reason being that every person is like a fingerprint, as is their natal chart. Note: if either Chiron or the Lunar Nodes are in an empty house, then there is likely to be some work to be done, with emotional knots and healing for Chiron, and with finding your soul path and purpose with the Lunar Nodes.

When a house is empty, it takes ‘cues’ from its planetary ruler as the direction of how to act and the ruling planet ‘gives’ its energy from the house in, it’s into the House Cusp its rules. How cusp sign rulerships work is that the sign on the house cusp point to the core mannerisms and traits that we project when performing that house activity.
Second, you can look at the Zodiac signs and planets related to your research to get some hints about the possible compensation mechanisms. Likewise, an empty seventh house could indicate that business relationships can be dealt with efficiently. If someone has an empty second house, this could mean they don’t have the burden of possessions on their shoulders.
In turn, we don’t need to engage at present. In line with this interpretation, all of this “house” work may suggest a lack of hardcore karmic lessons. Here, you may find your work-life (6th house) and relationships with others (7th house) to be intertwined, and you meet potential partners through your or their work. So, let’s say Aries is on your 7th house cusp, and your 7th is empty, and then your natal Mars is in Pisces and the 6th house. The sign rules over the energy of the house, and the planet that rules the empty house will often play a more prominent role. So if you have Taurus on the cusp, Venus is the ruler of the house, because Venus is the ruler of Taurus.

You can see that the 12th and 1st astrological houses are empty as do not have any natal planetary bodies in them.
