The Houses of your Vedic chart...House 7

The seventh house is the 7th from ascendant when counted anti-clockwise. If the master of 7th 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 7th house is also called the Kalatra Sthan (the house of your wife/spouse/relationships). This house is of utmost importance since it represents one of the most important aspects of one's life. One's life partner is someone with whom you share a lot of things, and some of them you don't share with anyone else in this world. So, it is very necessary that the lord of 7th house is in good position and it must be taken into consideration only 2nd to 1st house. One must definitely work towards strengthening the lord of 7th house. 

The 7th house mostly signifies the following:

1. Your life partner/spouse etc.

2. Your relationships in general

3. Partnerships and Business (people other than the native and native's relationship with them)

4. Friends and specifically the world in which you move around

5. Large intestine, rectum, uterus, ovaries and testes

6. Prostate gland, seminal vesicle, urethra, anal canal, and semen

7. Sexual union

8. Influence, success and reputation in foreign travels.

It is through the 7th house that the native perceives other people. During the dasa, antardasa of the Lord of 7th house, you will see the above significations of 7th house, taking prominence in your life. The number of planets present in 7th house can actually indicate the number of people with whom you can have a 'serious' relationship. The prediction of marriage/serious relationship can also be done by looking at the master of 7th house, its dasa, antardasa or any planet affecting it or 7th house. The same is valid for transits too. The relationships are also considered via the divisional chart D9. The 7th house in D9 will indicate the nature of your partner. It will also indicate the stability of your relationship.

The Houses of your Vedic chart...House 6

The sixth house is the 6th from ascendant when counted anti-clockwise. If the master of 6th 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 5th house is also called the Shatru Sthan (the house of enemies/diseases). In order to be free of diseases and enemies the lord of this house, must be, as compared to that of ascendant Lord, be less strong. 

The 6th house mostly signifies the following:

1. Enemies

2. Diseases, wounds, injuries, operations

3. Service, debts and litigation

4. Struggle in general, obstacles, disagreements, divorces.

During the dasa, antardasa of the Lord of 6th house, you will see the above significations of 6th house, taking prominence in your life. If a malefic such as Mars, Sun, Saturn or Rahu is present in 6th house, the native will defeat his enemies easily. If Rahu is present, the native will have stomach related problems.

The 5th house is also called the Santan Sthan (the house of progeny). If the native has strong master of 5th house, he/she will have talented and bright children. The children will be obedient and will be greatly attached to the native. Besides the 5th house, we also consider the divisional chart D7 for happiness from kids and their future etc.

We must also consider D7 for such predictions. 

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. For this sake, Moon must be exalted (in Taurus), in own house (Cancer), in the 4th house and/or the 10th house. 

The 4th house mostly signifies the following:

1. The mother of native

2. Immovable property such as house etc.

The Houses of your Vedic chart...House 3

The third house is the 3rd house from ascendant when counted anti-clockwise. If the master of 3rd 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 3rd house is also called the Parakram Sthan (the house of might, valor and audacity). The strength of this house indicates how much can a native work hard and how much can he get results out of his hard work. 

The 3rd house mostly signifies the following:

During the dasa, antardasa of the Lord of 3rd house, you will see the above significations of 3rd house, taking prominence in your life. Presence of Sun and/or Mars in this house is considered extremely lucky. The native will win in lawsuits of any sort, if they are present in this house. If the ascendant lord is present in 3rd house, the native will be fearless as a tiger. If Saturn is present, the native will fear from the unknown.

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. 

The Houses of your Vedic chart...ascendant...1

I have discussed several topics and from today I will discuss the twelve houses of the vedic charts. Each of the 12 houses have their own significations and give results to the native based upon the location of master of the house. Most of the time, if the Lord of a house is present in center (houses 1,4,7,10) then the planet will give at least some good results to the native even if the planet is enemy/malefic for the ascendant. The same is true when the planet is present in trine (1,5,9). 

The first house is called the ascendant or Lagna. The Lord of the Ascendant is called the Main Planet (mukhya grah). Ascendant is the zodiac sign which rises in the east when the child is born. As per the North Indian Vedic Astrology, the planets move anti-clockwise in a chart, but the zodiac signs move clockwise. Hence, if at 8 AM in the morning Capricorn is rising then at 10 AM we might have Aquarius/Pisces rising (depending on time for Capricorn to completely rising).

Marriage and its Stability...4

9. If you have access to you D60 chart (if you can make your chart using JHora software) then following can be considered:

Note - D60 chart actually shows the things that you are bringing in to your current life from your past life. The time of your chart must be accurate if you need an accurate D60.

a) If with Moon, Rahu/Ketu are present, then your marriage will be unstable in this life because of external factors/people. For example, there might be people who don't want to see you happy together, so they will cause misunderstandings between you are and your partner and they will be successful to some extent. You need to eliminate such elements from your life, and you will hence be happy!

b) If in a boys chart he has a weak Venus (in enemies house or debilitated), it means that he misbehaved with his wife (due to N reasons), so he must be compensate with his current partner in this life. In such case he must need to change himself.

c) Similarly in a girl's chart, if she has a weak Mars and/or Jupiter, she must have misbehaved/done wrong to her partner in previous life. So, now is the time for her to rectify herself!

So, you can see that there are several combinations which can destabilize a relationship. But if you are really serious about your married life, you can strengthen your lord of 7th house and also Ve, Ma or Ju as applicable to gain confidence in your relationship! All the best!

Marriage and its Stability...3

7. If in a girl's D9 chart she has a good Mars and/or Jupiter (own house, exalted or in friend's house), however big problems she is facing with her partner, things will finally settle down and bring in happiness in her life.

8. Similarly in a boys chart, even if his Venus is weak in D1, if Ve is showing gain in strength in D9 chart (own house, exalted or in friend's house), then definitely, things will turn out to be good as the time will pass.

Now, it does not mean that you have a weak Venus, Mars or Jupiter, they cannot be strengthened. Following are the posts that you can revisit:

Marriage and its Stability...2

4. If the master of 7th house in D1 chart is weak, but in D9 it is strong, OR, the master of 7th house in D9 chart is strong, then the marriage might initially have some ups and downs, but slowly things will settle down.

5.In a girl's chart it is strength of Mars and Jupiter that actually determines the stability in marriage, besides the lord of 7th house. Same thing is valid for boys. They must have a good Venus such that their marriage is stable and they get support from their wife.

6. Just to take an example, if someone has Cancer ascendant, and with Mars sitting in first house, then the native will not feel settled in his/her married life till he/she turns 32. 

Marriage and its Stability...1

Even though the subject says about stability, I will write also about the combinations of successful and happy marriages. It does not matter whether whether you had a love marriage or an arranged marriage, you can seek happiness in your marriage/relationship, because everyone deserves to be happy. All relationships have problems, mainly because there are two individuals involved, with two opinions on a single point of attention, so it is normal to have problems in married life, but finally something which can help you is your faith in each other and also, love for each other!

I am not going to talk about separation here!

Now percolating down to combinations which give a stable and happy marriage; they are as follows:

1. The strength of master of Lord of 7th house is biggest determiner as far as happiness in marriage is considered. 

2. If the master of 7th house is weak, in an enemy's house, under influence of malefic planets, definitely, you are going to see problems in your relationships in general, specially in love relationships.

3. If the master of 7th house is in 6th house (12th from 7th) or in 12th house, then it will bring at least some loss in your married life. 

Combinations of Arranged Marriages...2

4. Mostly, an arranged marriage happens when the Lord of ascendant does not have any relationship with Lord of 7th house. This actually means that they must not be together in single house, must not aspect each other mutually, and must not be in exchange (which means that Lord of ascendant in 7th house and Lord of 7th house in ascendant). 

5. When the lord of the ascendant is in 9th house, lord of 9th house is in 10th house with 10th lord  and the 7th lord in 11th house then an arranged marriage takes place.

6. If lord of the ascendant is in 6th house in an exalted state and the lord of 6th house is in ascendant with the lord of 10th house then also an arranged marriage takes place for the native.

7. All the combinations must also be checked with D9 chart too.

Combinations of Arranged Marriages...1

Previously I have written posts on Love Marriage and its combinations. Following are the posts:

http://oneastrovedic.blogspot.com/2012/09/combinations-for-love-marriage1.html

http://oneastrovedic.blogspot.com/2012/10/combinations-for-love-marriage2.html

http://oneastrovedic.blogspot.com/2012/10/combinations-for-love-marriage3.html

http://oneastrovedic.blogspot.com/2012/10/combinations-for-love-marriage4.html

Now, since I have addressed this with so much of sincerity, methinks I must also address the combinations of Arranged Marriages too, which are still quite prevalent too, specially in India! So, with the marriage season on, and the new year commencing, here I go...

Also, note one more thing, even if you have got a very good partner in your love marriage, the factors on which the stability and happiness of individuals in the marriage depends on, they are completely different from the factors (or planets) which influence your marriage. This is one basic reason people complain that after marriage - 'you have changed'. I will write on that in later post.

1. None of the combinations in the above 4 posts must exist, sans the romance part, when your Venus aspects the 5th house or 11th house house of your chart! It only gives you temporary romance, unless supported by master of 7th, which can convert the relationship into love marriage! 

2. As said in the above posts, it is the master of 7th house which has the final say in your marriage prospects. We must also consider the lordship of 7th house of your D9 (Navamsha) chart. 

3. If the Lord of 7th house is in 3rd house, 6th house, 10th house, 11th house or ascendant,  then an arranged marriage takes place.

Moon and Medicines

No...I am not going to discuss the remedies for Moon out here or any medicines associated thereof. I just wanted to tell that Moon is one planet which gives natural inclination towards chemistry and chemicals. And chemicals (natural and man-made) are used for making medicines. Someone who has a good Moon, preferably in first house or 10th house will give the native a propensity towards medicines/chemicals. A person with good moon will always be good in Chemistry and Biology (specially Botany). If Jupiter is involved the medicines will mostly be natural and the native will be involved in chemistry of natural substances. For example a doctor of Ayurvedic medicines will have a good Moon, Jupiter and may be Sun too. If Saturn get involved with Moon or aspects it, the native will have inclination towards Homeopathy, Allopathy etc. That's why in a doctor's chart, these 3 planets must form a combination. Mercurians (people with Virgo and Gemini ascendant) have a strong inclination towards profession of doctors. Now, if Mars also comes along to play some role, the doctor will become a good Surgeon too. 

On the whole for becoming a doctor, you need to have a good Moon, Saturn, Jupiter (ensuring higher education) and Mercury (Mercury will also help in cracking the competition). 

The Moon...Affirmatives...3

5. A carefree attitude to life - Awesome! Who wants that? Everyone, right? A free mind with no worries. No fear about anything in this world! Well this mostly happens when Moon combines with Jupiter in a friendly sign, specially if it close to full Moon! Believe me, most lucky people are only those who have a cool mind, which does not have worries. I have seen people who have Moon in Cancer with such an attitude. Actually if you believe in the almighty and have decided to leave everything to God, you will tend to be like this. Because you know whatever happens is God's will, so why worry. But it is not easy to have such a mind. Our minds are not conditioned in that fashion. Actually this is the way the Bhagwadgeeta works. It slowly instills in you that everything is done by Lord Krishna, and believe me more you believe in that book, more you will feel that your mind is getting lighter, that's why I have said so many times that reading this particular book does wonders. So when are you starting on making yourself carefree? I mean reading the Geeta? Just try this experiment, if it is negative tell me. I am all ears.

Note that being cool-minded is one thing and being careless is other. There is a thin line between the two and only spirituality can help you in not-crossing this line. 

Also note that in Vedic Astrology we have Moon sign. It is evident from the above points that Moon actually governs our mind and hence it gives you the traits of the planet's sign in which it is present. E.g. if present in Aries it fills your mind with adventures, if in Capricorn it will give you a propensity towards public service, if in Gemini it will make you talkative and also interested in books, in Cancer it makes you very social, in Leo it gives you royal outlook etc etc. So, strengthening moon is extremely important because it improves your mind and hence it encourages you to take those things seriously that might belong to your moon sign.

The Moon...Affirmatives...2

2. Luck - A person will be lucky in general. Now, this does not mean that you will get everything in your life and that you will be Bill Gates, no! But you will yourself feel that something intervened and something that was not coming to you easily, actually just came in front of you suddenly.

3. Social Life - The person will have lots of friends. Now this also depends upon the sign and the nakshatra (the constellation) in which Moon is present. For example, a person has moon in Leo, the person will have royal outlook to life. If Moon is in Sagittarius (but not in Mool nakshatra), the person will have an adventurous outlook and will have interest in books in general. Being said the the Leo guy will have friends from upper strata of society, while the Sagi guy will have friends from all stratus of society. Moon must be good in paksha bal too. Besides this a person with a good Moon will be capable of becoming a public figure easily. If a person is born on full Moon specially, that person can convince people to his whims easily. That person will have the ability to perform in public without a hitch.

4. Water loving - A good moon will make a person love water. Yes, they will love rain, rivers, sights of seas etc. However, if moon is present in Mars's sign - Aries and Scorpio, the person might well be averse to water bodies. Why? Well Mars is fiery sign, and what can destroy fire? Right, it's water. There might be some compensation if Jupiter comes to rescue of his great friend Moon. 

The Moon...Affirmatives...1

Methinks I have talked negative enough about Moon. The reason is that most people have a weak moon. May be because most of us have become selfish. A person with a good Moon will always be selfless and very social person, always ready to help others and that too without expecting anything in return. How many of  you know such people? Following are some of the trait a person will have who has a good Moon (please remember that one or more of these qualities might be present in a person along with negative traits that come from a weak moon, so this is a very subjective discussion that how weak/strong a person's moon is, so take care):

1. The person will be very attached to his/her mother. This is the trait of people who have Moon in 4th house. If Jupiter combines the relationship is very strong and the person will share a lot with his/her mother. The relationship is NOT one way. The mother will be equally responsive. She will be more like a friend than a parent. So, in case you have your Moon in 4th (even though it is in Mars's sign - Aries or Scorpio), and you don't feel attached to your mother - it's high time that you start regretting it. You desperately needs your mother's blessings to raise the peace of mind and whatever your need in your life. Now is the time. It does not mean only a 4th house Moon gives good relationships with mother. Whenever Moon is that of full Moon, along with or aspected by Matrakaraka planet, you will have a good mother. Besides this a Jupiter-Mars combination gives an understanding mother.

Moon Remedies...Revisited

Please go through the following links to know more about moon and remedies to strengthen it:

http://oneastrovedic.blogspot.com/2010/01/moon-continued.html

http://oneastrovedic.blogspot.com/2012/07/planets-hints2.html

Also, the following post contains the various problems what a person can face if the Moon lacks in strength:

http://oneastrovedic.blogspot.com/2012/10/moon-and-mental-disorders1.html

http://oneastrovedic.blogspot.com/2012/10/moon-and-mental-disorders2.html

http://oneastrovedic.blogspot.com/2012/10/moon-and-mental-disorders3.html

http://oneastrovedic.blogspot.com/2012/10/moon-and-mental-disorders4.html

http://oneastrovedic.blogspot.com/2012/10/moon-and-mental-disorders5.html

http://oneastrovedic.blogspot.com/2012/10/moon-and-mental-disorders6.html

Moon primarily is a sattvik planet. The remedies that do not involve spiritual bent actually will just strengthen your moon. Actually Moon needs to be with your Jupiter. The best combination that you can get in a chart is that of Moon in first own house with Jupiter (exalted). It would be better if the Moon is a full Moon or it is at 90 degrees with respect to Sun. Such a combination is capable of warding of any evil that would come on your way.

So, if you are serious to strengthen your Moon, please also strengthen your Jupiter. So in that case the best remedy will be to read the Geeta. It makes one's mind passive, fast. Also, avoid indulging in any sort of politics and be righteous. Be social, be honest, and believe everyone (I know it's hard, I still am trying to be like that). Accept your fault. Say sorry. Control your speech. Don't be arrogant. All these qualities will actually make you a humble person, yet extremely successful in the long run. The most successful people in fact are most humble. 

I am enlisting the remedies of Moon again as below:

1) Drink water in silver vessel. Drink lots of water.
2) Wear a Silver chain in your neck with spherical silver pendant.
3) Use good amount of water for bathing.
4) Wear whites on Mondays.
5) Offer Saptadhanya to birds.
6) Try out Chandra Tratak - continuous gazing at moon. If possible chant 'Om Namah Shivay' or any Chandra mantra.
7) Read the ShrimadBhagwadGita.
8) Worship Lord Shiva. Offer water to Lord Shiva on Mondays. Chant the Shiv
Pachakshar Strota.
9) Except for those who have exalted Moon (in Taurus), you can lend milk to small kids on Mondays
10) Have lots of juices. Give water to citrus plants.
11) Do not waste water.

Also for strengthening Jupiter, do the following:


1. Find a Guru or make someone a Guru in your life and seek His guidance. That person must be someone who can guide you spiritually. Be in His presence, and serve Him. The more the blessings of a Guru you have  , more is the probability is that your Ju is getting balanced. 

2. If by any chance, you do not find anyone, make Lord Krishna as your guide. It was He who guided Arjun through the battlefield of Kurukshetra when he was confused in delivering his duties. Now this actually means  to follow the Bhagwad Geeta, read it daily and try to assimilate its teachings in your daily life. Lord Shiva is also considered Guru. He is the master of the Spiritual world,which lies just above the Material world, in which we mortals exist. 

3. Read literature, healthy literature. It is best if it is spiritual text such as ShriRamCharitManas, Bhagwad Geeta, Koran, Bible or Zend Avesta. It must be something that must help an individual grow.

4. Teach, be a guide yourself. Explain things to people. Teach kids. Distribute your knowledge to others. Indulge in healthy discussions with others, related to the community/society improvement and spirituality. 

5. Avoid politics; don't indulge in politics of any sort. Don't conspire against anyone. Be away from any such elements who indulge in politics. 

6. Be humble. Most humble people have best of Ju in their charts. Learn to say sorry, even if it is not your fault. Leave your ego and arrogance. 

7. Respect elders and people of greater age. Touch their feet and take their blessings more often. 

8. Wear a haldi (turmeric) and/or kesar (saffron) tilak on your forehead daily. 

9. On Thursdays worship Tulsi plant. Put a spoon of milk in its roots. 

10. Worship the milder form Lord Vishnu, viz... Lord Ram or Lord Krishna on Thursdays. Since Ju is signifies kids too. many people have problems related to children too because if weak Ju. The best they can do is worship the Lord in their child form. E.g. do tratak with the Lord when He is in His mother's lap. E.g. Lord Krishna in Maa Yashoda's lap. For girls, who want healthy and obedient children, this is the first step towards their motherhood. And they must look at the Lord in the manner they themselves are Yashoda Maa!!!

11. Do upwas on Ekadashi tithi (11th day on brighter half moon month).
