A birth chart has 12 astrological signs/houses. Each sign/house is associated with a planet. For example, in the birth chart of a person whose Lagna or first house is Mesha or Aries, the second house is Taurus. Venus is the planet associated with Taurus. If the planet Venus occupies the 2nd house in this birth chart, it is placed in its own house. This does not happen always, and other planets, too, can occupy houses they are not associated with.
