A horoscope is just a diagram of the heavens exactly as seen from the Earth at any particular time and at
any given location. Houses in astrology refer to the ARTIFICIAL way of dividing the heavens as seen from
the Earth in 12 parts. Houses are known as the Bhavas in Vedic Astrology. Houses are one of the three
essential tools for casting a horoscope other two being placement of planets and signs in the horoscope.

a) From this diagram and keeping in mind the above

definition, we can have good idea about houses in
astrology. We can only ‘see’ SIX of the TWELVE
houses as other SIX houses are ALWAYS BELOW the
horizon.

b) Houses 1 to 6 are ALWAYS BELOW the horizon

and houses 7 to 12 are ALWAYS ABOVE the horizon.

c) The point which is exactly ON the horizon on EAST

at ANY location on Earth is ALWAYS the starting point
of the 1st house and is better known as the
Ascendant or Lagna.

d) The point which is exactly over-head at ANY

location on Earth is ALWAYS the starting point of the
10th house or the Medium Coeli or just MC.

e) The point which is exactly ON the horizon on

WEST at ANY location on Earth is ALWAYS the
starting point of the 7th house or the Descendant.

f) The point which is exactly OPPOSITE to the over-head point or the 10th house or MC is ALWAYS the
starting point of the 4th house or the Imum Coeli or just IC.

g) We can only ‘SEE’ the planets which are placed in the 7th to 12th houses as these houses are ALWAYS
ABOVE the horizon. We can never ‘SEE’ the planets which are placed in the 1st to 6th houses as these
houses are ALWAYS BELOW the horizon.

h) Due to the ROTATION of the Earth – The planets SEEMS to RISE from the EAST (12th house), reach
OVER-HEAD (10th house) and FALL or SET in the WEST (6th house).

With the help of the diagram below we can get further clear idea about houses and rise and fall of planets
and how to predict time generally or how to predict the house position of Sun

As Sun ALWAYS rises from the EAST and from the point number (c) of the first diagram we know - “The
point which is exactly ON the horizon on EAST at ANY
location on Earth is ALWAYS the starting point of the
1st house and is better known as the Ascendant or
Lagna.” On this basis we can say at the time of Sun
rise (which is around 5 A.M. to 7 A.M. depending on
the time of the year and location of place) Sun is
MOVING FROM the FIRST HOUSE into the TWELFTH
HOUSE.

As Sun ALWAYS is Over-Head during Noon and from

the point number (d) of the first diagram we know –
“The point which is exactly over-head at ANY location
on Earth is ALWAYS the starting point of the 10th
house or the Medium Coeli or just MC.” On this basis
we can say at the time of Sun being Over-Head
(which is around 11 A.M. to 1 P.M. depending on the
time of the year and location of place) Sun is
MOVING FROM the TEHTH HOUSE into the NINTH
HOUSE.

As Sun ALWAYS is in WEST during setting and from

the point number (e) of the first diagram we know – “The point which is exactly ON the horizon on WEST
at ANY location on Earth is ALWAYS the starting point of the 7th house or the Descendant.” On this basis
we can say at the time of Sun being setting (which is around 5 P.M. to 7 P.M. depending on the time of the
year and location of place) Sun is MOVING FROM the SEVENTH HOUSE into the SIXTH HOUSE.

As Sun ALWAYS is at bottom most position during Mid Night and from the point number (f) of the first
diagram we know – “The point which is exactly OPPOSITE to the over-head point or the 10th house or MC
is ALWAYS the starting point of the 4th house or the Imum Coeli or just IC.” On this basis we can say at
the time of Sun being at Bottom Most position (which is around 11 P.M. to 1 A.M. depending on the time of
the year and location of place) Sun is MOVING FROM the FOURTH HOUSE into the THIRD HOUSE.
Similarly, other house position of the Sun can also be predicted by knowing the time as mentioned in this
diagram.

Most of the Astrology House systems used are

Equal House, Whole House, Placidus, Koch, Porphyry, Campanus, Regiomontanus, Solar, Lunar, Morinus,
Radiant, Zariel, Alcabitus, Meridian, Topocentric, Horizontal and Geodetic

Lagna Bhava or the first house commences from the point that just rises in the East and the whole area
that is yet to rise next below horizon and extends up to 2nd house cusp. The point exactly opposite the
East of 1st house cusp is the starting of 7th house. That part of sky which has risen just before birth and
extends upwards in the Eastern horizon is the 12th Bhava or house. The top most point in the sky at any
given location is the starting point of 10th house or the Midheaven and the opposite point below the earth
is called the Nadir or the 4th house.

Thus we can understand from the above statements that the time from approximately two hours before
sunrise till the exact time of sunrise, the Sun will be in the 1st house and the time approximately two
hours before sunset till the exact time of sunset, Sun will be in 7th house. Similarly, from the time the Sun
is exactly overhead at any given location and till approximately two hours after that Sun will be in 10th
house.

The 1st, 10th, 7th and 4th house are main pillars of a horoscope. They are called the Angular or Cardinal
or Kendra (meaning center in Vedic Astrology) Houses. The next houses to the angles or Kendra viz. 2nd,
5th, 8th and 11th are called the Fixed or Succedent or Panapara (meaning material or money related in
Vedic Astrology). The remaining four houses viz. 3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th are called the Cadent or Mutable
or Apoklima (meaning to decline, lessen or expense).

The houses can also be divided into four trinities:

Trinity of Dharma or Spiritual Action

Houses 1, 5 and 9
They relate to the Fire signs of Aries, Leo and Sagittarius (1) Body (5) Heart and (9) Higher Mind

The twelve Astrology Houses and their significance

All the matters regarding living and non living things are signified by the 12 houses, taken one or more
than one house for any given matter. The astrologer has to judge a particular house or a few houses for
any particular matter. For example, for marriage, the 7th house is the primary house to be analyzed but
2nd and 11th houses are also taken in consideration. This is because 2nd house denotes family and 11th
house denotes gain, fulfillment of desires and happy social occasions.

Each house signifies certain matters regarding the individual but the same house can be extended to
derive various matters regarding his or her relatives and even friends. This process of extending the affairs
of any given house is known as derivative house. A house may be fortunate to the individual but at the
same time it may be disastrous to a relative or friend. For example, the Lagna or the first house indicates
the advantages gains and profit to younger brother as younger brother or sister is signified by the third
house and first house is the eleventh house counted from the first house. The first house also indicates the
fame and reputation of mother as it is the tenth house counted from the fourth house, higher studies, long
journey, for the person's children especially the first child is judged from the Ascendant. Mundane
Astrology is one of the branches astrology that generally deals with predictions related to countries, house
meaning are more varied and somewhat different than birth or natal horoscope.

First Bhava or the First House

The first house or what is commonly known as the Ascendant or Lagna is the most important of the
houses. In Vedic Astrology it is referred to as "Tanur or Tanu Bhava", which means literally, "the house of
the body". It signifies the birth, beginning of life, personality, personal features, looks, body, character,
temperament, individuality, self consciousness and constitution in general. The Ascendant is always an
important factor in the matter of health as it also indicates the person's vitality and vigor, his natural
disposition and tendencies and struggle for life, his success or failure in attempts, his fortune or
misfortune, etc. It is the main factor in determining our orientation to life as a whole. Hence this is of
supreme importance.

This house refers to the first sign of zodiac, the Aries or the Mesha or Mesh. The natural significator of the
first house is the planet Sun. The parts of the physical body governed by 1st house are the head and the
upper part of the face and all the organs there in. As per Mundane or State or Political Astrology,

As we see from the earth the sun moves clockwise in the sky and the east is on the right
hand side but I don't know why the astrologers show the east on the left side of the wheel.
Just see, if the houses are shown with the 1st house on the left side, sun is moving
anticlockwise in the sky. I request you to tell me why the wheel shows the 1st house on the
left side. It is so confusing.
