House in Astrology:

There are 12 houses in astrology. Houses are also referred as

Bhava or Ghar in Hindu astrology. Every house in astrology has
been assigned certain significations by the sages.

For example, 1st house is for self, health, 2nd house for family,
finance, 3rd house for brother, courage, 4th house is for
mother, conveyance and so on.

In the astrology, if a house is good, you will get good results

related to the house.

For example, if the 1st house is good in your horoscope, your

health will be good. On the contrary, if the first house is bad,
the health will be affected and one can even have a short life.
Different systems of astrology like Hindu system, Western
system etc. have different rules for judging the houses. In other
words, all systems use somewhat different rules to identify
whether you will get good results or bad results pertaining to a
house in your life. Similarly, KP System also has different rules
and we will be describing those rules in the following sections.
Before that, let us have a look at what is generally assigned to
each house by our sages -

First House
Birth, head, physical body, limb, physical features, livelihood

Second House
Wealth, food, right eye, what one eats or drinks, face, eye,
speech, family, property

Third House
Courage, firmness, bad thoughts, breast, ear, especially right
ear, prowess, brother or sister - younger one, heroism, mental
strength

Fourth house
House, home, land, relation, mother, vehicle, happiness, water,
learning

Fifth House
Intellect, children, son, belly, traditional law, virtuous acts
previously done

Sixth House
Debt, wounds, disease, enemy, sin, a wicked act, fear,
humiliation

Seventh House
Desire, love, passion, cohabitation, partner, public, wife or
husband, dowry
Eighth House
Life, longevity, mental pain, defeat or insult, sorrow, scandal,
ill-repute, death, impurity, obstacle, danger

Ninth House
Guru or preceptor, father, auspicious, previous life , worship,
penance, virtue, grandson, prayer, spiritual initiation, noble
family, fortune

Tenth House

position, good conduct, honor, sacrifice, command, quality,
wealth, occupation

Eleventh House
Profit or gain, income, all kinds of receipts, acquisition, gain,
desire, passion, fulfillment of one's desire, wealth or riches,
brothers and sisters - elder one, friends

House of disappearance, bondage, loss, negation, bed, sin,
poverty, penury, loss, decline, misery, left eye, leg, defect

Rashis:
The whole Universe is divided into 12 equal parts and each part
is referred to as a sign. So there are 12 signs as follows -

1. Aries
2. Taurus
3. Gemini
 4. Cancer
5. Leo
6. Virgo
7. Libra
8. Scorpio
9. Sagittarius
10. Capricorn
11. Aquarius
12. Pisces

There are various classification for the signs. These

classifications are sometimes useful in predictions. Some of the
important classifications are as follows -

Classification 1
Fiery Signs: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
Earthy Signs: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
Airy Signs: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
Watery Signs: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces

Classification 2
Movable: Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn
Fixed: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius
Dual: Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces

Zodiac Division - Sign, Star and Sub

Zodiac is an imaginary belt encircling the heavens within which

are all the planets. As we know in mathematics a circle is of 360
degree. When this circle is divided into 12 equal parts of 30
degrees, each part is called a sign. We have already talked a
little bit about signs. When this circle is divided in 27 equal
parts of 13 degree 20 minutes, each part is called a Star or a
Nakshatra. If we divide a star further into nine parts, this 9th
division of a star is called a 'Sub'. This 'Sub' is the real backbone
of KP System. We have already talked about the lord of a sign
and the lord of the star above. As lord (owner) of a sign is called
'Sign lord', similarly lord of a star is called 'Star lord' and the
lord of a sub is called 'Sub lord'.

House Grouping

Like Sub, house grouping is another very important concept in

KP System. For every important aspect of human life, one
house has been given primary importance and few other
houses have been given secondary importance. All these
houses together are known as group of houses for an aspect.
By the term ‘aspect of human life’, I mean health, family,
profession etc. Let us take an example of marriage, for
marriage house number 7th has been given primary
importance. Why? Because 7th house is taken as the house for
spouse – husband or wife. If you are coming from the Hindu
astrology or Western astrology background, you will find it
familiar. If you don't have any astrology background, you can
refer house signification table under the heading 'House' above.
House number 2 and 11 are said to be supportive house for
marriage. In our traditional astrology, 2nd house is the house
for family and 11th house is the house for friends and
fulfillment of desire. So we can say that for marriage we have
to judge house number 2, 7 and 11. This is house grouping for
marriage. Similarly, we can group houses for other major
aspects of our life. I am tabulating house grouping for some of
the important aspects as follows -
Aspect House Groups
Longevity 1, 8, 3
Cure of disease 1, 5, 11
Education 4, 9, 11
Marriage 2, 7, 11
Child birth 2, 5, 11
Foreign travel 3, 9, 12
Service 2, 6, 10
Gain of money 2, 6, 11

More comprehensive list of house groups can be found

at House Grouping section of this wiki.

Good and Bad Houses for Specific Matters

Generally 12th house from any house is considered detrimental
to that house and hence negates the results of that house. For
example, 2, 7 and 11 houses are the houses that give marriage.
12th House from these houses i.e. 1 (12th from 2), 6 (12th from
7) and 10 (12th from 11) will give opposite results i.e. denial of
marriage or separation, divorce etc., if already married. This is a
general rule which requires some modifications on the basis of
sufficient evidence.

House Grouping:
Not single but multiple houses play role in any event of
life. In KP terminology, these groups of houses for the event
is called "House Group". This is also referred as Formula by
some KP astrologers. In the table below we need to combine
primary houses and supporting houses to come up with the
house grouping for the event. For example, event "Good
health" has 1,11 as house group. Event "Proneness of
disease" has house group 1, 6, 8, 12.

There are two uses of the House Grouping table below -

1. Knowing whether the event is promised in one's chart

or not
If the cuspal sub lord of primary house signifies primary and
supporting houses, the event is promised. Please read
"Chapter 2: Fundamental Principles" to get better
understanding.

2. When the event will happen

Events happens when the planet-lords of current dasa (dasa
lord, antardasa lord, pratyantardasa lord, sookshma lord etc.)
signifies house group. For example, one has "Good health"
when one passes through dasa of the planets signifies
houses 1,11. Similarly, "Proneness to disease" happens when
one passes through dasa of the planets signifies 1,6,8,12.
Again, please read "Chapter 2: Fundamental Principles" to
get better understanding.
