Hello friends! Today, we’re going to dive into the basics of astrology by discussing the houses in a Kundali (birth chart). I’ll explain everything in a simple way so that even a 13 or 14-year-old can understand it. No need for complex math here—just straightforward astrology. So, let’s get started!
What are Houses in a Kundali?
When you generate a Kundali using any software, you’ll see a chart divided into boxes. These boxes are known as houses, and they are arranged in an anticlockwise direction. Here’s what you need to know:
Anticlockwise Movement: The houses in your Kundali start from the 12 o’clock position and move anticlockwise.
Zodiac Signs: The numbers written inside these boxes represent the zodiac signs, not the house numbers.
The 12 Houses Explained
In astrology, there are 12 houses, also called Bhaav in Hindi. Each house represents a different aspect of your life:
1.First House (Lagna/Ascendant): Represents your physical appearance and overall personality.
2.Second House: Relates to wealth, possessions, and values.
3.Third House: Covers communication, siblings, and short travels.
4.Fourth House: Pertains to home, family, and emotional foundations.
5.Fifth House: Linked to creativity, children, and romance.
6.Sixth House: Associated with health, work, and daily routines.
7.Seventh House: Deals with partnerships and marriage.
8.Eighth House: Concerns transformations, inheritance, and deep emotions.
9.Ninth House: Represents philosophy, religion, and long travels.
10.Tenth House: Related to career, public image, and authority.
11.Eleventh House: Covers friendships, goals, and aspirations.
12.Twelfth House: Deals with the subconscious, secrets, and endings.
Key Concepts to Remember
1.Houses vs. Zodiac Signs: The numbers you see in the houses of your Kundali are zodiac signs, not house numbers.
2.Degrees: The entire Kundali is a circle of 360 degrees, divided into 12 houses. Each house is 30 degrees.
360 degrees / 12 houses = 30 degrees per house
3.Anticlockwise Movement: The houses move anticlockwise in the chart, symbolizing the opening and liberation in life. This movement is akin to the way we unscrew a cap or open a lock.
Practical Visualization
Imagine a clock:
12 o’clock: Represents the first house (Lagna).
1 o’clock to 11 o’clock: Represent the subsequent houses, moving anticlockwise.
The numbers within each house are zodiac signs. For example:
1: Aries
2: Taurus
3: Gemini
and so on…
Why Anticlockwise?
In astrology, the anticlockwise movement of the houses symbolizes liberation and opening in life. Just like unscrewing a lid to open a jar, the anticlockwise movement in your Kundali represents unfolding your life’s path towards enlightenment and understanding.
Keeping It Simple
Whenever you look at your Kundali, remember:
12 houses: Representing different aspects of life.
Anticlockwise direction: Signifying the natural flow of life’s journey.
Zodiac signs inside houses: These are not house numbers but signs that influence each house.
Conclusion
By understanding these basics, you’ll have a solid foundation in astrology. Remember, this is just the beginning. As you continue learning, these concepts will become clearer, and you’ll be able to interpret your Kundali with confidence.
