In Vedic Astrology, the charts (Kundalis) feature 12 segments. These segments are called houses (Bhavas). To analyze the significance of one’s planets, we place the planets in these houses. We do this because we need to carefully consider not just the nature of each planet, but also the house it appears in.
The 12 houses of a chart each represent a specific area of life, providing a detailed map of your life’s journey. Here is a brief overview of the significance of each house:
- 1st House (Lagna/Ascendant): This is the house of self. It governs your personality, physical appearance, health, and overall disposition. It is the most important house as it sets the foundation for the entire chart.
- 2nd House (Dhana Bhava): The house of wealth. It represents your finances, material possessions, family, speech, and early education.
- 3rd House (Sahaja Bhava): The house of siblings and courage. It relates to communication, short journeys, hobbies, and your willpower and initiative.
- 4th House (Sukh Bhava): The house of home and happiness. It governs your mother, home life, emotional foundation, real estate, and inner peace.
- 5th House (Putra Bhava): The house of children and creativity. It relates to romance, education, intellect, speculation, and artistic talents.
- 6th House (Roga Bhava): The house of health and challenges. It signifies disease, enemies, debts, daily routines, and service to others.
- 7th House (Jaya Bhava): The house of partnerships. It governs marriage, business partnerships, and all one-on-one relationships.
- 8th House (Ayur Bhava): The house of transformation and longevity. It relates to hidden matters, inheritance, joint finances, and sudden events.
- 9th House (Dharma Bhava): The house of fortune and spirituality. It signifies your father, higher education, philosophy, long-distance travel, and good luck.
- 10th House (Karma Bhava): The house of career and public life. It represents your profession, social status, reputation, and ambitions.
- 11th House (Labha Bhava): The house of gains and aspirations. It governs your income, friendships, social network, and the fulfillment of desires.
