The Houses of your Vedic chart...House 4


The fourth house is the 4th from ascendant when counted anti-clockwise. If the master of 4th house is present in exaltation or in own house, specially if in center (1,4,7,10) or in trine (1,5,9), it will give native good results. The 2nd house is also called the Matra Sthan (the house of mother). If the master of 4th house is good, the person will have great support from his/her mother. The native will also be attached to his/her mother. In addition, if Moon is also good the bond between the native and his/her mother will be stronger.

The Houses of your Vedic chart...House 2


The second house is the 2nd from ascendant when counted anti-clockwise. If the master of 2nd house is present in exaltation or in own house, specially if in center (1,4,7,10) or in trine (1,5,9), it will give native good results. The 2nd house is also called the Dhan Sthan (the house of money). Hence, if you want to have a lot of money, you will need the lord of this house very strong. If the master of this house is strong, you will inherit a good amount of money in your life. If the master of 2nd house will reside in 12th house then you will have a lot of money, but it will drain away from you. You will not even realize the reasons, but still the money will not stay with you.

The 2nd house mostly signifies the following:
1. Your immediate family.
2. Money.
3. Right eye.
4. Face and upper jaw.
5. Lips, teeth, tongue, mouth, oral cavity, nose, speech, nails, steadiness of mind.

Hence, to judge the above we must consider the 2nd house. If the ascendant Lord is present in 2nd house, the person is centric on the above indicated things, money and family! During the dasa, antardasa of the Lord of 2nd house, you will see the above significations of 2nd house, taking prominence in your life.

The Houses of your Vedic chart...ascendant...2


The ascendant is considered most important house in a birth chart. The strength of ascendant and its Lord is considered utmost important when determining general success in life. A person with strong ascendant will be bold and very strong in keeping his opinions/views etc. If the ascendant lord is exalted or in own house the person will be strong physically. He will have success depending upon location of ascendant lord.

In general the ascendant signifies the following:
1. Your physical existence or your body. 
2. Your will power.
3. Your physical strength.
4. Your physical beauty.
5. Your head and hair. 
6. Brain, appearance, skin, sleep, longevity
7. Freedom from ill-health, longevity and old age
8. Ability to perform work

The ascendant must be considered a temple and hence the planets present in it must be considered deities of the temple. An inimical planet (planet that is malefic for the Lagna) must, preferably be not present in the ascendant. Following is the list of planets that are ascendants and the planets that are malefics/benefics to it:

Lagna Benefics Malefics
Aries (Mesha) Sun, Jupiter Mercury, Venus, Saturn
Taurus (Vrish) Sun, Saturn Moon, Jupiter
Gemini (Mithun) Venus Mars, Jupiter
Cancer (Karka) Moon, Mars, Jupiter Mercury, Venus
Leo (Sinha) Sun, Mars, Jupiter Mercury, Venus, Saturn
Virgo (Kanya) Mercury, Venus Moon, Jupiter, Mars
Libra (Tula) Mercury, Venus, Saturn Sun, Mars, Jupiter
Scorpio (Vrishchik) Moon, Mars, Jupiter Mercury, Venus, Saturn
Sagittarius (Dhanu) Sun, Mars, Jupiter Venus
Capricorn (Makar) Mercury, Venus Moon, Mars, Jupiter
Aquarius (Kumbh) Mercury, Venus, Saturn Sun, Mars, Jupiter
Pisces (Meen) Moon, Mars, Jupiter Sun, Mercury, Venus, Saturn

The planets that are present in ascendant will deliver their properties to the ascendant and hence influence the  native. For example, presence the Venus in ascendant will always make a native lover of beauty in general and also give the native a bent towards arts, similarly, Saturn will make native pessimistic and Sun will always keep the native in limelight. Hence, while judging a chart we must keep in mind these factors, besides the above malefic/benefic planets.
