My water houses are all ruled by earth signs, and I wondered how that manipulates the way my intuition, emotions, and spiritual expression translates in the chart. Would someone with these placements (Virgo rules 4H, Capricorn 8H, and Taurus 12H) have a more challenging time experiencing TRUE spiritual phenomena and intuition, or expressing emotion?
I have a similar thing. I have Cap on 8th, with moon/mars in Cap in the 8th.
And Jupiter in Taurus in 12th.
But I have Leo ruling my 4th.
However, your overall question is about having Earth signs on the cusps of the water houses.
I feel that it kind of 'blocks' my initial emotional reactions and responses. I don't have the automatic, easy flowing emotional responses that my Piscean mother has. Or my Auntie with Cancer Sun and Moon.
I am more stilted and I take awhile to process my feelings. My first response is often blunt and direct and may be off putting at times.
The water houses are meant to be portals to our emotions and feelings. Earth tends to block those openings and we cannot easily access our feelings as quickly as others might.
HOWEVER, I am quick to recognize what needs to be done in a crisis. I can see what problems will arise when my friend loses her mother/father unexpectedly and I will quickly do something to try and alleviate their immediate responsibilities, like making dinner for their kids or doing a pressing errand so they don't have to. Dealing with Earth responsibilities comes naturally in emotionally difficult situations.
