Aw damn it, I got Venus and Jupiter in 10th house 😅

The Astrology of Humor

Humor is ruled by Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, and, in some accounts, the Moon.

Mercury represents humor in or from communication and/or wit. This is the sort of humor that we find in wordplay and quick exchanges.

Venus represents humor in or from art. This is what we see in the movies and in those witty political cartoons.

Jupiter represents humor in or from a more hopeful or optimistic outlook, like the ability to make light of the bad or find hope in it. We could also see this as a more philosophical sort of humor.

And the Moon we could see as representing the emotional aspect of humor. Humor does draw an emotional response - happiness, hopefully - so this makes sense.

Comedy, specifically, is ruled by Venus. So the strictly artistic or “professional” side of humor and expressing humor.

You can really tell what people find funny through the placements of these heavenly bodies and their aspects.

I think there’s a tendency to only see certain signs as comedic or humorous but really every sign has a sense of humor, it just varies by type. Capricorn, for example, definitely has a dry sense of humor, and Aries a physical sense of humor - the type that inspires a person to act out something to make others laugh.
