This is called as “Mid-heaven Coeli (Latin for “Top of the sky”)” or “M.C”, i.e., the position of Sun at 12 o’clock in the day time or, the position of the zodiac sign just above the head at the time of birth. Therefore, 10th house represents our role in society or, “Career” or, “Karma”. Whereas the 4th house is all about “inside...

This is the house that present below the ground and it can be considered as mid-night sky or, the time when sun is over the head on the other hemi-sphere.

As it related to private things and things that are unseen so, this house represents ...

In the last part we discussed a brief note on the special names of the “Kendra” houses and broadly distinguished the first and the last six houses. Further, we discussed about the ascendant, 2nd house and 12th house. If you haven’t read our last two posts of this series then, I recommend you to read them first for better an understanding Read here -:  Part-1  ,  Part-2 In this post, we will discuss about the descendant, 6th house and 8th house by taking the below image (fig-1) as reference -: Fig-1 : The Sixth, Seventh & eighth house  The Descendant (7th house) The 7th house falls directly opposite of the 1st house and hence, called as “Descendant”. This is the place where sun sets. Therefore, like the ascendant represents “Birth of the body” similarly, the descendant represents “Death of the body” and hence, the 7th house is called as “Maraka Sthana”. Similarly, 7th house is a place where day & night connects with each other in the ev...

In the series of “ Houses in Vedic astrology ”, we have discussed about the meaning of houses in astrology and their basic classification in groups according to their nature. In this series, we will know more about the houses and the things they represent in a very logical and reasonable manner. Let us, understand the houses by taking an analogy of the image below (fig-1) -: Fig-1: Illustrating houses  In the above image, the numbers from 1 to 12 are the twelve houses of astrology. We can also see some direction names in the image like east, west etc. We all know that Earth rotates in eastward (From West to East) direction and thus it seems as if the celestial bodies like the sun, moon and other stars moving in westward direction (From East to West). This is called as “Apparent movement of Sun or, Moon or, any other celestial bodies”. Zodiac signs are nothing but, the division of space around the earth and therefore, they also have apparent movement like other cel...

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”. The word “Bhava” means “Thoughts” and it is very obvious to name the houses as “Bhava” because each house possesses some kind of “Thought” in it and they represent certain things. Like the Rashis (Zodiac signs) and Grahas (Planets), they also represent certain things and thus each house (Bhava) has a special name associated with it that conveys its inner thought or, the related things that it represents. In the ...
