Bhavas

First House [Lagna]:

Personal identity and information about physical appearance, vitality and

self-confidence.
Determines how an individual presents himself/herself to the outside world.
Shows the circumstances of birth and the body itself.
It is a summary of the complete horoscope and the most important house in
the horoscope.
A favorable lagna bhaava can neutralize many of the problems in the
remainder of the horoscope.
In mundane (state or political) astrology, the lagna signifies the people of the
country.
In a horary chart, this house shows one's mind, physical features of the
consultant and his/her health. It represents the person who asks the
question. It also indicates diseases to one's enemies, journeys of one's
children and the friends of one's brother/s.

Second House [Dhana bhaava]:

The second house is the house of money and money matters and largely
decides the net balance of an individual in his/her life.
It denotes the financial circumstances or fortune, profit or gain, loss or
damage and general financial prosperity of the native.
This house shows what the person acquires by his/her individual efforts and
the degree of prosperity which one will enjoy.
In short, all that is acquired through one's power and resources come under
the purview of this house.
This house indicates the native's worldly attainments by means of possession
of extrinsic value such as money or those things held to represent money
such as jewelry, precious stones, bank drafts, bonds, stocks and shares,
insurance etc.
This house deals with family. It includes all close relatives of the native, the
grandfather, grandmother, mother, wife, children, brothers, sisters etc.
(kutumbam). There is no particular reference to any single relationship, but
the entire kutumbam is included.
Another important influence of the second house is the native's ability to
express his thoughts. This house rules vak, meaning speech.
The second house governs second marriage. This is so because the 2nd house
is the 8th to the 7th representing the first wife and it is generally after the
death or separation from the first wife that one gets married the second
time. Though marriage is largely the concern of the 7th house, the second
house can show the time of marriage, description of the partner and the
state of married life.
The second bhaava also represents vision or the power of observation. The
right eye (generally eye) (the 12th is said to govern the left eye), memory
and imagination are governed by the second house. The other parts of the
physical body governed by the 2nd house are the nails, tongue, nose, teeth,
cheeks and chin.
One has to judge the second house to find out whether the native will protect
others and whether he gains or losses through those who are dependent on
him/her. Also the general understanding between the native and the family
members is judged from this house.
The second house also concerns law suits, uses of ordinary or costly metal,
his/her trade and business according to the native's ability to buy and sell
and also faith in ancient cultures and customs.
This house shows whether one will be extravagant or frugal in his/her ways.
Being a maaraka sthaana, the second house shows the death of the native.
The kind of death is influenced by the 8th house. 3rd house indicates one's
life span and the second being 12th to the 3rd shows death. The other

maaraka sthaana is the 7th house which is the 12th to the 8th (house of
longevity).
The second house should be considered along with the 5th house if one has
to find out if one has an aptitude for music. The type of music (instrument
etc) will be shown by the quality of the sign in which the cusp of the house
falls.
In mundane astrology, this house signifies national wealth, banking activities
and all matters concerning revenue to the state.
In horary astrology, the second house shows the money of the querist, his
loss or gain in speculations relating to business and also the loans and debts
of the querist.

inherent propensities of the mind and intellect. It shows the inclination to
study, but the ninth house is the one that actually shows higher education,
research, wisdom and philosophical tendencies.
This is the house of courage, firmness, valour, prowess and heroism.
It is the house representing the native's younger brother or sister. Cousins,
kindred, casual acquaintances and neighbors are also governed by this
house.

the native has the assistance of others or is completely self-made.
It also deals with short travels, especially short inland journeys. However,
long journeys are represented by the ninth house.
All kinds of correspondences, letters, papers, couriers, accounting,
mathematics, means of communication such as telephone, telegraph (now

restlessness, want of peace, transition and change.
It governs libraries, bookstores, bargaining, conveying of messages, carrying
tales about others etc.

shoulder blades, clavicles, arms and the nervous system.

countries and treaties with them.

It indicates the loans taken by an individual and how much one will be in debt
in his life.

Seventh House [Kalatra Bhaava]:

This is the house of earthly union and ties. It represents legal bondage and
marriage in one's life.

Tenth Bhaava [Karma Bhaava]:

This is the Madhya (Meridian Coeli) of the horoscope, representing Jeevana

(livelihood), raajyapada (kingdom), sat (goodness), kriya (work), vyaapara
(commerce and trade), jaya (success), aspada (rank or position), aachara
(good conduct), maana (honor), guna (quality), artha (wealth), gamana (gait),
pravritti (inclination) and karma (occupation).
This is also known as the midheaven, or angle of the south, whose cusp, the
Sun touches every day at noon at every place on the earth. Hence it is
regarded as the chief or supreme angle of the heavens.

In astrological predictions, it is the most important bhaava concerning one's

fame, name, honor and recognition.
It is one of the four Kendra (angular) houses, the others being 1, 4 and 7. It is
said that planets occupying the Kendra houses are the strongest in their
disposition. Houses 2, 5, 8 and 11 are called as the succedent or panaphara
houses and planets in these are endowed with moderate strength. Planets
occupying the cadent or apokilma houses, i.e., 3, 6, 9 and 12 are said to have
the weakest disposition as far as strength is concerned.
The tenth house is described as the house of lordship, honor, dignity and
public esteem. As it is at the apex of the heavens, it rightly represents the
worldly attainments of the native, achieved through name, fame, power,
prestige, credit and conduct, success and status, rank and reknown, respect
and reputation and ambition and authority.
All questions concerning one's worldly activities and moral responsibilities
are determined with reference to this house.
The tenth house presides over one's inclination, permanency, promotion,
advancement, appointment etc. and shows how one acquires superiority or
affluence - whether by being engaged in independent pursuits or business or

appointment.
The chief influence of the tenth house is profession, occupation or business.
In this aspect, along with the tenth house, one has to judge houses 2 and 6
also to know the exact nature and type of one's profession/business. The
houses 2, 6 and 10 are known as the material trinity as they correspond to
the 2nd, 6th and 10th signs of the zodiac which are earthy signs denoting
material gains.
The tenth house is also known as karma sthaana. It includes doing the last
rites to one's parents, performance of religious functions, yagnas etc.
Sometimes, in certain horoscopes it is very evident that every time one gets
a very good advancement in professional life, one loses one of the parents.
Being the second to the 9th representing Father, the tenth house is the
maaraka sthaana for the father. It is also the maaraka house to mother by

The tenth house has reference to the employer, superior, master in trade or
profession, judge and the government.
