Houses in Vedic Astrology: Your Life’s Cosmic Blueprint

In Vedic astrology, the birth chart is divided into 12 houses—called Bhāvas—each reflecting a specific dimension of life. These houses, starting from the Ascendant (Lagna), act as windows to understand personality, relationships, career, and destiny. 1st House (Lagna): Self, personality, and physical appearance. 2nd House: Wealth, family, and speech. 3rd House: Communication, courage, and siblings. 4th House: Home, mother, and real estate. 5th House: Creativity, children, and intelligence. 6th House: Health, service, and challenges. 7th House: Marriage, partnerships, and contracts. 8th House: Transformation, inheritance, and longevity. 9th House: Spirituality, higher learning, and fortune. 10th House: Career, reputation, and authority. 11th House: Gains, ambitions, and social networks. 12th House: Spirituality, losses, and liberation. Each house gains deeper meaning when combined with planets and zodiac signs.
