12 Houses in Kundali Explained In Easy Terms

In our blogs, we often talk about Raj yogas, Mahadasha, planets, etc. But have you noticed, there is one thing which is common. Guess what? You guessed it right. It is the "houses" in Kundali. The house is the common point that joins the threads of these subjects. In this blog, we will talk about houses, what they are, and why these are important. After reading this blog, you will gain a basic knowledge of reading the birth chart. So, you can use this unique skill to impress others and get some eyes on you. 

What are Houses in Kundali?

Look, no doubt astrology is a hard subject. But I will try to explain it with ease. So, imagine that your birth chart is a book, and each chapter contains information about your job, marriage, profit, home, personality, and more. In astrology, these chapters are called "Houses." There are 12 such chapters in your birth chart or Kundali. Each house tells about different areas of your life, which helps an astrologer guide you on the right path. Now, let us go slightly into details.

Relation of Planets and Houses in the Kundali

In your birth chart or Kundali, there are 12 houses that deal with the different areas of your life. For example, the 7th house deals with your marriage. It answers questions like when you will get married, how your partner will be, whether there will be problems in your marriage, etc. Apart from this, the results will depend upon the planet. If the planet is strong and placed with a good planet, then the results will be positive. But otherwise, the results will be worse. 

Zodiac Signs and Houses in Kundali 

Similarly, zodiac signs are also important. Just like planets, the zodiac sign present in the house can tell how that area will be influenced. Moreover, there are 12 zodiac signs. These cover space in each house. Each of these 12 zodiac signs is numbered from 1 to 12. It means that Aries is the first zodiac sign, so it is given the number 1, while Pisces is the last to get the number 12.

However, some people believe that these numbers represent the houses of the Kundali. As per this, Aries represents the first house, and Taurus represents the 2nd house, which is wrong. But in reality, the first house is the ascendant at the time of your birth. This house deals with your 'self' or personality. 

Meaning of All Houses in Kundali

So, do you remember what we discussed above? The houses in your birth chart are the chapters that deal with multiple areas of your life. So, let us see what each of these 12 houses deals with in your life. 

1st House in Astrology

Starting with the first house, which is also known as Lagna or Ascendant. It indicates the beginning of life. This is why it is the most important house. It is very special because the results from other houses depend upon this one. So, if the lord of this house aspects the rising zodiac sign, then the person is very rich. So, you can say that this house indicates the luck and fortune of your life. This house tells how lucky you are.

2nd House in Astrology

Moving on to the next house. Usually, when you ask astrologers about money matters in your life, they study this house. This is because this house is known as "Dhana Bhav", which means house of wealth. So, if a strong and positive planet is sitting here, then you will get good results. For example, the Sun in this house makes you rich. At the same time, the moon in this house makes you a famous artist. On the other hand, Mars in this house makes you cruel and snitcher. 

Apart from this, this house is also known as "Kutumb Bhav", which means house of family. So, it deals with your family life too. 

3rd House in Astrology

So, this house deals with younger siblings and courage. Therefore, it is known as "Parakram Bhava". Prakram means courage. Furthermore, as per our expert astrologers, if the third house, its lord, and Karaka Mars are fully strong and well placed, then the person climbs the ladder of success in life due to his own efforts. Moreover, it also tells about the birth and death of your younger siblings. 

4th House in Astrology

Next, we have the fourth house, which deals with the mother and happiness in your life. Other than this, it also indicates land, property, childhood, and education. So, a good fourth house indicates a good childhood. Similarly, a good fourth house with a strong planet indicates a good connection with the mother. On the other hand, if this house has a weak Moon or Saturn, then it indicates the short life span of the mother. 

5th House in Astrology

The fifth house deals with education and children. It shows the time and number of your children. Plus, it is also known as Purvapunya Sthan, which means it shows the collection of good deeds done in the past life. Here, the favourable position and transit of planets play an important role in determining the time of birth of a child. 

6th House in Astrology

Moreover, the sixth house is the house of debts, enemies, and diseases. It tells about the diseases that may occur in your life, which is why you need to suffer a lot. So, it is important that only auspicious planets should sit in this house. Apart from this, it also covers your competitors. It determines their strength and how they can trouble you. 

7th House in Astrology
