A Study on Houses or Bhavas in Vedic Astrology

P. S. Sukumaran

Abstract :

Houses in Sanskrit are referred to as ‘bhava’ meaning a mode of being, essence or feeling, and are thus, in Vedic Astrology, a changing twelve- fold division of the zodiac circle, which depend upon the position of the earth in its daily rotation relative to the heaven. As the earth rotates during the course of the day, the whole zodiac gradually rises in the East and sets in the West. The tenth house is the zodiac sign which is exactly on the top (the north direction) at the time of birth. The qualities of the houses are explained in terms of angles (kendras), trines (triconal), upachayas, dustanas, and marakas. Also, each of the twelve houses relates with one of the four aims of life: dharma, artha, kama, and moksha.
