UNDERSTANDING THE HOUSES (PART-2)



In the last part we discussed about the placement of different Zodiac signs in different houses and the method to find out the approximate position of Sun in a house from the time of birth.

In this post, we will discuss about the meaning of different house.

If you haven’t read the first part of this discussion then I recommend you to read that first for better understanding of this topic.

Read here -: Part-1

The 1st house is referred as “Ascendant” and it is present in the eastern horizon at the time of birth.

The 7th house is referred as “Descendant” and it is present in the western horizon at the time of birth.

The 10th house is referred as “Mid-heaven Coeli (Latin for “Top of the sky”) or “M.C” and it is present above the head at the time of birth.

The 4th house is referred as “Imum Coeli (Latin for “Bottom of the sky”)” or, “I.C” and it is present above the head in the other hemi-sphere of earth at the time of birth.

If we see the image (fig-2) then, it clearly shows that the six houses are below the ground and the rest six present above the ground.

This has a very deep meaning; the six houses that are below the ground represent things that deal with our emotions, feelings and things that are very personal whereas, the 6 houses that are above the ground represent things that somehow related to the external world and exposure.

Now, let us understand the meaning of each house.


The Ascendant (1st house)


The 1st house or, ascendant (Asc.) represents the “Self” and anything related to self and outer personality like our physical appearance, name, fame, status, dignity, ego, overall health and lifestyle, our likes and dislikes (in general) etc.

It represents the “Physical body” that we have.

 As the rise of Sun from the eastern horizon marks the beginning of a new day, so, as the ascendant is concerned with the beginning of life or, birth.


Bullet Points


 Here, we have some bullet points (for the ease of memorizing) that shows things related to the 1st house-:

  1. “Self” and things related to “Self”
  2. “I” or, “Ego” or, “The sense of being”
  3. Physical body/ physical appearance
  4. General perception, thinking ability and the mind
  5. Name, fame/status, personality, dignity, power

  7. Likes & dislikes (in general)
  8. Head, hair on head, skull, brain, skin

  11. Starting or beginning of events

The 1st house is also known as “Pratham Bhav” or, “Lagna bhav” or, “Tanu bhav” and its lord is known as “Lagnesh”.


The 2nd house


The 2nd house is present just below the 1st house and acts as a support to the 1st house.

Therefore, 2nd house represents things that are needed to sustain & support the physical body and hence represents food, diet, nutrition, family and wealth.

Bullet Points


Here, we have some bullet points (for the ease of memorizing) that shows things related to the 2nd house-:
  1. Essential things required for sustaining the physical body
  2. Food, diet, nutrition
  3. Wealth, money
  4. Assets (savings/ checking/ brokerage/ retirement accounts etc.)
  5. Material possessions like clothing, jewelry, household articles

The 2nd house is also known as “Dwitiya bhav” or, “Dhan bhav” or, “Kutumb bhav” and its lord is known as “Dwitiyesh”.

The 12th house


The 12th house is present just above the 1st house and as shown in the above image (fig-1); it’s the wind and air just above the ground and erodes the soil.

Similar thing is represented by the 12th house; it’s about enlightenment and having a feeling that we are not this physical body but, something more than that.

It’s about realization and things that disconnects us from materialism. Therefore, it represents spirituality, faraway places or, foreign lands, asylums, monasteries etc.

It is the actual house of bed pleasures or, sexual pleasures because such activities disconnects us from our physical body for a certain period of time. So, the actual feeling of orgasm is seen from this house.

HOUSES IN VEDIC ASTROLOGY (PART-3)

In the last 2 parts of our discussion on the houses, we get to know many things about houses like, various house systems in astrology, the correct house system to follow etc. In this post, we will discuss about different categorization of the 12 houses along with the basic meaning of each house. If you haven’t read the first and second part of this discussion then I recommend you to read them first for better understanding of this topic. Read here -:  Part-1  ,  Part-2 Houses as “Bhavas” In Vedic astrology, a house is called as “Bhava”.

In Vedic astrology; just like the zodiac signs (Rashis), each house has a span of 30° and there are 12 houses in total. The ascendant or, rising sign (The zodiac sign that rises from the eastern horizon at the time of birth) plays a vital role in case of determining houses and their span. For example -: If at the time of birth of the native, the zodiac sign “Cancer” is present in the eastern horizon at 7°00’ then, it is become the mid-point of the 1 st house and native is said to have “Cancer” ascendant. In this way, the sign “Leo” takes the mid-point of 2 nd house, “Virgo” takes the mid-point of 3 rd house and so on as shown in the below table (fig-1) -: fig-1 : Houses for Cancer ascendant people Similarly, for “Virgo” ascendant peopl...

HOUSES IN VEDIC ASTROLOGY (PART-2)

In our last part of this topic, we discussed about some preliminary concepts on the houses and different house systems that are used in astrology by different astrologer. Today let’s continue our discussion further. If you haven’t read the first part of this discussion then I recommend you to read that first for better understanding of this topic. Read here -:  Part-1 The Perfect House System After an introduction to so many house systems, an obvious question arises in our mind, i.e., "Which is the most correct house system to use?" Well, the answer for this question is hidden in the experiences of Vedic astrologers regarding various house systems. First of all, among the two broad categories of house systems, most of the Vedic astrologers usually prefer the “Linear house systems” because of some limitations present in the “Non-linear house systems”, such as, They are only extensible to house from ascendant (Lagna) and not fro...
