About The House

About the First House
What is the 1st House?

There are two types of 1st Houses. The natural 1st House and
ones own personal 1st House. We will begin by covering the
natural 1st House in Astrology, i.e. Aries, and also what areas
the 1st House controls. Ones own personal 1st House is
selected based either upon your rising sign or your moon
sign and is the subject of the next newsletter.
The natural 1st House in astrology is the Sign of Aries, which

is associated in the sky with the constellation known as
Orions Belt.
Characteristics of the 1st House

The First House is known as the House of the Body. It
signifies your physical self and basic personality or
disposition. Whether your First House is Aries or Taurus or any other sign, it is always a
signifier of ones own personal self. Should you want to know the general behavior, attitude and
physical appearance of someone, you look to their 1st house. It also controls the physical head
and general health and well-being.
Each sign has its own unique flavor when it is the 1st House and sets the background of an
individuals demeanor. Further, a planet in the 1st House or aspecting the first house will
greatly alter ones physical appearance and personality. By means of an example, Aries is
examined in detailed below.
Characteristics of Aries
Aries is the natural 1st house, the beginning of the zodiac. The
Tamil New Year is celebrated when the Sun returns to this sign. In
the northern hemisphere the return of the Sun to Aries coincides
with the arrival of spring, the time of rebirth.
The characteristics of Aries is directly derived from the 1st House

traits and also by its ruling planet Mars. As the 1st House is all
about the physical self, the sign of Aries always brings focus to
ones self. Aries also picks up many Martian characteristics. The
Aries personality and demeanor is full of vitality and energy. It
likes immediate action and getting things done. As Mars is likened
to a military leader, so do individuals with a personal Aries first
house have a tendency to make effective, passionate, strong leaders.
Aries symbol is the ram. It also represents an independent nature and combative personality.
If your birth chart shows Aries as your 1st house, you are likely to have the athletic body of a
Mars warrior, and you may be drawn to competitive sports. Depending upon the placement of
other planets, Mars as your first house lord could give your appearance a fiery or reddish tint to
your hair, eyes or complexion.
Planets Placed in Aries

In all charts, planets placed in Aries will activate Martian tendencies for that planet. When the
Sun is here (birthdates between April 13th May 14th), the persons actions, represented by the
Sun, will be Mars-like. They would be likely to take quick, bold, decisive actions. When the
Moon is here, the persons emotions, represented by the Moon, will be Mars-like. This would be
a very passionate person whose feelings heat up quickly with Mars fire, and can have
frequent, extreme changes in emotions and are likely to be more restless than folks with their
Moon placed in calmer signs.
Mars will stimulate and bring its quick, sharp, energy to the places it touches in your chart. If it is
placed in its own signs, Aries and Scorpio, that person will maintain their youthful appearance
they will naturally by resistant to the effects of aging.
Sun and Saturn

There are 2 planets which deserve special attention when looking at Aries. These are the Sun and
Saturn. The Sun loves the sign of Aries. As a matter of fact, of all the places in the sky, the Suns
characteristics shine brightest in Aries. Therefore, Aries is called the Suns Sign of Exaltation.
From direct experience we know that the Sun during late April and May brings about warmth
and growth and new life. It is the Sun at its most effective strength. The Sun is Friends with
Mars. When the Sun comes into Mars house of Aries, it feels right at home.
The Sun in your chart represents your vitality. Its condition in your chart will affect your overall
health and energy level. A strong Sun whether it is placed in its own house of Leo, in its
friends houses of Mars (Aries or Scorpio) or Jupiter (Sagittarius or Pisces), for example, will
contribute to your physical well being, giving you a healthy glow with the brightness of the Sun
and an ability to bask in the spotlight.
Conversely, Saturn dislikes everything about Aries and Mars. Saturn considers Mars an Enemy
(fyi, Mars is neutral toward Saturn). Saturn is about removing focus from the self, taking the
time to do things right and repeating things again and again until they are correct. When the slow
Saturn enters Aries, which is fast-passed, forceful, immediate and self-centered, conflict
immediately occurs. Therefore, Aries is Saturns Sign of Debilitation.
Now that we have understood some of the characteristics of 1st House, the sign of Aries, and the
planets that it favors, test your knowledge with the quiz below!

The First House: About You
Moon Sign vs Ascendant to Judge your First House
The sign of the first house in Vedic Astrology is very important. The first house sets the karma
for your personality and body and also determines the signs of all the other houses. In Southern
India, Vedic Astrologers accept that the first house can be determined as either the sign that is on
the eastern horizon at the moment of birth or the sign of the Moon.
In India, your family astrologer would determine whether your Eastern ascendant sign or the
Moons sign should be used. Your family astrologer would have a long-term relationship with
you and your family and would be consulted on any major occasion. He would base his decision
on whether the Eastern ascendant sign or the Moons sign seemed to have a stronger influence on
your development. In the west, we do not have family astrologers to make these decisions for us
as we are growing up. An astrologer can make this determination for you after looking at your
chart and asking you about your experiences in life. With some education in Vedic Astrology,
you yourself can make this decision after assessing which chart suits your life experience better.
In order to determine which first house to use we will take a look at the influence the first house
has on your looks, personality and health. This will tell us whether your Ascendant or Moon sign
is operating more strongly in your life. If your Moon turns out to be the greater influence in your
life, you should analyze your chart as if the Sign that the Moon is in was your 1st House.
In Summary we are going to take you step by step in helping you decide which should be your
1st house, your Ascendant or your Moon sign. Then you will look at how different planets in
your chart have influence over your physical appearance and personality.
STEP 1
First, you need to know what your Ascendant sign and Moon sign are.
Method:
1. Log into Astroved

2. Run the Chart Report
3. On the chart, it will indicate your first house with the As symbol
and the number 1. This is your Ascendant Sign and is the default
first house in Astroved.
4. Your Moon sign will be indicated by a Mo on the Chart Report. Alternatively, you can
view your Moon sign Report Click here
STEP 2
Now that you know your Ascendant and Moon signs, read the descriptions for both of these
signs. Based on these descriptions, choose the one that more accurately reflects your appearance
and personality. Please note that on occasion, a persons physical appearance will reflect a
combination of both their Ascendant and Moon signs.

If after reading the above descriptions you are still uncertain as to which 1st House sign to use,
follow this method:
1. If your birth time is known, and you cannot decide between Moon and Ascendant, go
with your Ascendant as your first House.
2. If your birth time is unknown, and you cannot decide which of the above best reflects
you, go with your Moon Sign as your first House.
The Astrologer Analysis of Your First House will also analyze your chart both ways and make
suggestions as to which may be strongest. You should be receiving this analysis within the next
10 days.
STEP 3
Once you have identified which sign is your first house, either by the Ascendant or the Moon
sign, the next step in controlling aspects of your first house is to know which planets most
directly influence it and modify its nature.
To do this, run the Chart Report on Astroved. Examine your 1st House (either Moon sign or
Ascendant) and note any planets in that sign, then read the descriptions for each planet that you
have in your 1st House to see how they affect your physical self and personality:

Each planet that you have in your 1st house will affect your personality and appearance as
described above. If you have no planets in your 1st House, then you will more closely match the
description of the sign listed in Step 2!
STEP 4
The final step in understanding your personal 1st house is to examine where your 1st houses
planetary ruler is placed in your chart and what that means for you. The following table lists
which planet rules your first house:
Sign of the 1st House Planetary Ruler
Aries Mars
Taurus Venus
Gemini Mercury
Cancer Moon
Leo Sun
Virgo Mercury
Libra Venus
Scorpio Mars
Sagittarius Jupiter
Capricorn Saturn
Aquarius Saturn
Pisces Jupiter
If your 1st house is Taurus, then your planetary ruler is Venus.
Now, look again at your Chart Report. What sign is your planetary ruler of the 1st House placed?
Remember, the planetary ruler can be found in the chart above. For instance, you may find that
you have a Taurus 1st House. Taurus ruling planet is Venus. The Chart Report would show you
which sign your Venus is placed. Perhaps your Venus is in Leo.
Leo is the 4th House for a Taurus Ascendant/Moon Sign. The Houses are numbered 1 to 12 in a
clockwise direction. Taurus is the 1st House. Gemini is the 2nd House. Cancer is the 3rd House
and Leo is the 4th House.
The placement of your 1st House planetary ruler will tell you how your karma will be
experienced by you in this lifetime. So, in our example, if your ruling 1st House planet is Venus
and placed in your 4th House of Leo, you will spend much of your life focused on issues relating
to your mother, property, home and cars. Below are the indications of each House:

By means of another example, if your first House is Gemini, then your planetary ruler is
Mercury. When you look at your chart, you see that Mercury is placed in your 12th House of
Taurus. Therefore, in this lifetime, you will experience much work involving enlightenment,
liberation, foreign travel, losses and/or confinement.
Summary:
At this point, you now have an understanding of:
1. What sign your 1st House is;

2. What planets, if any, are in your 1st house;
3. What planet rules your 1st house; and
4. In which house your ruling 1st house planet is placed in your chart.
This will give you a good basic comprehension of why you look and behave the way you do. If
you are beautiful, you may very well have Venus in your 1st house. If you are heavy and jovial,
Jupiter may be in your 1st house. If you have 2 or more planets in your 1st House, look to which
of the planets are weak and causing you difficulties based on the descriptions of the planets
above. Then remedy that planet!
About the Second House

What is the 2nd House?
In Astrology, we will be speaking in terms of Houses and Signs. There are 12 Houses in
astrology, just as there are 12 signs. Houses are simply categories of all the things that concern
us in human life such as money, children, sex, health, longevity, etc. Each House controls a
different category. In the House 1 Makeover, we covered personality and physical appearance.
Now, House 2 covers primarily finances and speech and things that go into the mouth.
Signs on the other hand are filters that color how the Houses and planets behave. This newsletter
will cover the sign of Taurus, which is considered the natural 2nd House of the Zodiac. That
means that the sign of Taurus naturally colors things in line with the qualities of the 2nd House,
i.e. money, things money can buy and what goes into the mouth.Let us begin by covering the
natural 2nd House in Astrology, i.e. Taurus, and also what areas the 2nd House controls. Ones
own personal 2nd House is the subject of the next newsletter.
The 2nd House

The Second House is known as the House of the Earnings. It signifies your capacity to earn a
living and accumulate wealth. It also reveals some of your early or childhood experiences with
your family. The 2nd house also rules the mouth and teeth, thus having some dominion over your
appearance and conversational skills. Additionally the 2nd house can indicate alcohol, drug and
food addictions. It also rules your imagination.
To determine if you have the ability to earn and save money, or whether you would be successful
in effectively persuading people through speech, the nature of the 2nd house should be consulted.
Each sign when it is the 2nd House will color the way that the individual earns his daily bread.
Should bad planets be in your 2nd House or looking at your 2nd House, finances and material
comforts will be a continual problem for you unless remedied. We will discuss this more in next
weeks newsletter.
Characteristics of Taurus:
Taurus is the natural 2nd house, coming after Aries in the zodiac. In Vedic astrology
Taurus runs from May 14th to June 14th. Taurus symbol is the bull. In the sky, the
sign of Taurus is designated by the constellation also known as the bull whose main
star Aldebaran, the red star.
The characteristics of Taurus are derived from the 2nd House traits and also by its ruling planet
Venus. With the steadiness and hard-working nature of the bull, the 2nd House is about
persevering and keeping things stable. It is about the basic necessities of life: money, food and
sex. Taurus, being ruled by Venus, picks up many Venusians qualities a love of sensual
pleasures eating, drinking, sex, indulging in the comforts offered by material reality. The
Taurean loves beauty but can be a little selfish or materialistic.
If your birth chart shows Taurus as your 2nd house, you are likely to have a fortunate and
pleasant life, surrounded with a nice family and an ability to make the money necessary to fulfill
your worldly desires.

the Planetary Ruler can be found in the chart in Step 2.
Now, look again at your Chart Report. What sign is your planetary ruler of your 2nd House
placed? For instance, you may find that you have a Taurus 2nd House. Taurus ruling planet is
Venus. The Chart Report would show you which House your Venus is placed. Perhaps your
Venus is in your 10th House.
The placement of your 2nd House planetary ruler will tell you how your karma will be
experienced by you in this lifetime. So, in our example, if your ruling 2nd House planet is Venus
and placed in your 10th House of Aquarius, your career (10th House) will bring you money and
may have something to do with the mouth, either speech or food. Below are the indications of
each House:

About the Third House

What is the 3rd House?
There are two kinds of 3rd Houses referred to in Vedic
Astrology. The natural 3rd House and ones own personal 3rd
House. We will begin by covering the natural 3rd House in
Astrology which is Gemini and also the areas that the 3rd
House controls. Ones own personal 3rd House is the subject of
the next newsletter.
General Characteristics of the 3rd House

Regardless of whether it is Gemini (the natural 3rd House) or
your personal 3rd House, the 3rd House represents specific
areas in your life. The Third House is known as the House of
Siblings. It signifies your capacity to get along with others
and physical strength. It also reveals your general attitudes in
dealing with risk whether you act boldly or with caution. The
3rd house also rules the ears, arms, hands and nervous systems.
The third house is also called an Upachaya or Growing House (along with the 6th, 10th and
11th Houses). This means that while experiences could be tough in the beginning, they do get
better over time. Thus having difficult planetary placements in the 3rd house can cause problems
early on, but they have the potential to be transmuted into a positive. For instance, having Mars
(which is considered a malefic planet) in your third House, may indicate intense activity, sibling
rivalry and a combative attitude. But because it is in the 3rd House, this intense martian energy
gives you the potential to turn it to something positive. For example, this intense energy may
make you work out harder and increase your athletic ability, thus giving you a very fit, healthy
body.
Each of the signs, when it is the 3rd House of a chart, brings a unique quality to the House of
Siblings; it will color the way that one approaches others, ones attitudes toward risk and
creativity. Further, a planet that is placed in the 3rd House or expecting the third house will
greatly alter their interpersonal skills and the way they react to situations. By means of an
example, Gemini, the natural 3rd House, is examined in detail below.
Characteristics of Gemini, the Natural 3rd House

Gemini is the natural 3rd house, coming after Aries and Taurus
in the zodiac. Gemini is symbolized by the twins, or an
embracing couple. This sign, the only one including two
individuals, represents communication and the thinking mind.
Geminis ruling planet is Mercury. As such, Gemini is bestowed

with Mercurial qualities love of learning, quick witted, genial,
and joyous. The dark side of Gemini is that they can be too
cunning losing the faith of others, or be irresponsible
changing their minds, not finishing things, bluffing their way.
If your birth chart shows Gemini as your 3rd house, you are
likely to be engaging in mental pursuits. This person would make a good diplomat as they will be
an excellent communicator and will be able to intuit what others want to hear.
Planets Placed in Gemini

Unlike other signs, there is no planet that is Exalted in Gemini and none that is Depilated.
Even Geminis ruling planet, Mercury, is exalted in Virgo instead of Gemini. In all charts,
planets placed in Gemini will activate Mercurial tendencies for that planet.
Sun in Gemini
When the Sun is here, the persons actions, represented by the Sun, will be Mercury-like. They
would be attracted to scholarly activities such as research and reading. Their careers would
flourish in Mercury-like fast paced occupations or businesses such as advertising or journalism.
They will bring cleverness to their actions, and adept at developing strategy.
Moon in Gemini
When the Moon is here, the persons emotions, represented by the Moon, will be Mercury-like.
This would be a very changeable personality, very adaptable to their environment. They are
likely to be stressed, having taken on too much. Their quick wit will win people over, but Moon
in Gemini people are difficult to depend on in a crunch, they are easily overwhelmed.
Mercury in Gemini
Mercury is considered a neutral planet; it will be positive or negative based on its nearby planets.
If it is placed in its own signs of Gemini and Virgo, that person will have a very developed mind
and reasoning capacity, they will be very capable intellectually.
Venus in Gemini
Venus in Gemini will give one a great love of learning and intellectual pursuits and art.
However, their love in relationship matters will take on a dual nature with vacillation desires.
Mars in Gemini
Mars in this sign will give one a very active, quick and fiery mind. For better or worse, they will
have an active relationship with their siblings and relatives.
Jupiter in Gemini
Jupiter here will bring mental and emotional balance to the ones mind. This person will have
great communication skills and tact in their delivery, as well as good sense of humor.
Saturn in Gemini
Saturn will discipline the mind and bring the ability to intensely focus on tasks at hand. This
placement makes for good scientists and researchers. Saturn also gives the ability to organize and
put things in proper scope. On the negative, it can also lead to compulsive behavior and create
indecisiveness.
Rahu in Gemini
Rahu will give one the ability to think outside the box and make one very innovative. If afflicted,
this placement can also create mental disorders and eccentricity.
Ketu in Gemini
Ketu in Gemini will give one great creativity and unbounded thinking. However, on the negative,
it can also cause a fragmented mind and ailments.
Now that we have understood some of the characteristics of 3rd House, the sign of Gemini, and

About the Fourth House

What is the 4th House?

In Astrology, we will be speaking in terms of Houses and Signs. There are
12 Houses in astrology, just as there are 12 signs. Houses are simply categories
of all the things that concern us in human life such as money, children, sex,
health, longevity, etc. Each House controls a different category. In the House 3
Makeover, we covered siblings, courage and creativity. Now, House 4 covers
primarily happiness, material possessions such as home, property, and fixed
assets; as well as education and mother.
Signs on the other hand are filters that color how the Houses and planets behave. This newsletter
will cover the sign of Cancer, which is considered the natural 4th House of the Zodiac. That
means that the sign of Cancer naturally colors things in line with the qualities of the 4th House,
i.e. mother, home, happiness, vehicles, education, land and property.
General Characteristics of the 4th House
The Fourth House is known as the House of Home and Heart. It is one of the moksha houses, a
house of spiritual liberation, and holds our private thoughts and feelings. It is the lowest point in
the chart, below the horizon, and so is an indicator of those things unseen and on land. Therefore
the 4th house is an indicator for land and property, as well as vehicles. A strong 4th house for
example, could indicate good home and cars. It is the home of mother, mind and matter, so
happiness and relationship with the mother is indicated here. It is also a house of education,
though there are different views as to what level of education. Generally, it is viewed as higher
education, from high school to college level, as well as spiritual education, since it is a moksha
house. It is the most sensitive point in the chart and so indicates our deeper psychological nature.
It also represents the masses and our relationship to the public. Physically, it is the chest and
heart regions. The Moon, as ruler of the natural 4th house of Cancer, is the karaka, or indicator of
the 4th house.
Moon as Indicator for the 4th House

The Moon is associated with manas, the mind and emotions. This watery planet represents the
sensitivity of the human mind as well as Mother and motherhood. The Moon therefore influences
fertility, conception and childbirth. As with all the planets, the Moons influence and
characteristics can be understood on both the material and spiritual planes of existence. So
physical fertility as well as spiritual fertility can be understood from the 4th house and Moon.
Even though it rules Cancer, the Moon is exalted in Taurus, i.e. the most positive, beneficial
aspects of the Moon come forth the more.
Characteristics of Cancer, the Natural 4th House

Cancer is the 4th sign in the zodiac and therefore the natural 4th house. The Moon, Cancers
ruler, gives its qualities to Cancer natives. Cancers enjoy people, are friendly, caring, nurturing
and enjoy traditions. They tend to foreign travel and enjoy the water. Like the Moon, they can be
highly sensitive, changeable and moody. They value relationships and enjoy caring for, feeding
and entertaining loved ones.
Planets Placed in Cancer

Jupiter, the planet of higher knowledge and luck, is Exalted in Cancer. This means that
whenever you see Jupiter in the sign of Cancer, more likely than not, the native will be wise,
generous, spiritual and luck; all the better characteristics of Jupiter. Conversely, Mars becomes
Debilitated in Cancer. This placement will bring out the worst traits in Mars, making the native
temperamental, argumentative and/or overly aggressive. It is important to remember that when
assessing a chart, multiple factors must be taken into consideration. No one effect, such as
planetary position in a sign or house, will be the sole indicator of fortunes and influences. In
general, one must assess the strength of the house, its indicator, and its lord and occupants, as
well as other planetary influences. The following are general indications for when a particular
planet is posited in the sign of Cancer.
Sun in Cancer
The individual will be attractive and enjoy fine foods and wine. Hard worker with many family
responsibilities. Can have difficulty with father and other relatives.
Moon in Cancer
The Moon is in its own sign in Cancer, strengthening its effect for favorable fortune in
property, vehicles and friendships. Can have fluctuating wealth. Enjoys physical pleasures
Mercury in Cancer
Mercury here brings a quick, alert mind, able to comprehend a wide view, enjoying music and
poetry. Income can be gained through land (real estate) and through siblings, cousins and
partnerships. Great talker with inclination to travel to foreign countries.
Venus in Cancer
With Venus in Cancer, one is inclined to be affectionate, good-willed, kind-hearted, very
attractive and devoted to good causes. Marriage can be delayed and may be a significant
difference in age and/or position with the marriage partner. Occupation can be through water
elements or with property.
Mars in Cancer
As mentioned, Mars becomes debilitated in, this fiery planet cooling its heels in watery Cancer.
There can be a separation from the mother, changing abodes frequently or other types of
difficulty with home and property. A person with Mars here is very independent and goes against
the grain.
Jupiter in Cancer
Jupiter, exalted here, brings good humor, benevolence and graciousness. While religious or
spiritual views may change, they will be held with sincerity and devotion. There is a special bond
with the mother and an inclination to the mystical. Inclines the individual to truthfulness, wealth
and a strong, beautiful body.
Saturn in Cancer
Saturn brings greater austerity to worldly possessions and wealth. May indicate early loss or
estrangement from the father. Learnedness and renown.
Rahu in Cancer
Rahu is favorable in the sign of Cancer and will bring great help from friends, successful foreign
travels and an increase in wealth, as well as spiritual inclinations.
Ketu in Cancer
Ketu, like Rahu, will take on the qualities of its ruler, in this case the Moon. Can bring an
austerity to emotions, or deservedness.

What does the Fourth house stand for in Vedic Astrology?

Cancer, the fourth house of the Zodiac, relates to home and home related
issues. Materially, you could associate pleasure and possessions like car,
house etc., to the fourth house. Be it the Mother Earth or your own mother,
the fourth house indicates your level of bonding towards her. At a deeper
level, it spells out the need to discover ourselves, and to feel really at
home. It also reflects your life in the first few years, and the final few
years.
How can you strengthen your fourth house?

could vary. However, you could strengthen your fourth house by

is a general way, recommended to strengthen your fourth house. For
instance, if your fourth house is Capricorn, the Lord is Saturn. If you have
one or more planets in your fourth House, these planets, especially if
debilitated, will need strengthening and remedying.
Recitation of planetary mantras and wearing corrective

gemstones, are the two ways to mitigate the negative
effects of an afflicted house. Poojas and Fire Rituals are

listed as they are generally considered unfavorable for all signs.
For example, let us say that your 4th house is Cancer and you have Venus in your 4th house
(Cancer). Then you would look below and see that Venus is generally considered an enemy
while in Cancer. Therefore, you would have a greater tendency to manifest the afflicted
condition listed above.

Step4:
The final step in understanding your personal 4th house is to examine where
your 4th houses Planetary Ruler is placed in your chart and what that means
for you. Remember, the Planetary Ruler can be found in the chart in Step 2.
Now, look again at your Chart Report. What sign is your planetary ruler of
your 4th House placed? For instance, you may find that you have a Leo 4th
House. Leos ruling planet is the Sun. The Chart Report would show you in
which House your Sun is placed. Perhaps your Sun is in your 12th House.
The placement of your 4th House planetary ruler will tell you how your home and emotional
karma will be experienced by you in this lifetime. So, in our example, if your ruling 4th House
planet is the Sun and it is placed in your 12th House (loss and enlightenment) of Aquarius, you
may experience a loss of home, happiness or mother. If you are on a spiritual path, it could
indicate a hearts desire for enlightenment. Below are the indications of each House:

happiness through partnerships.

About the Fifth House

2 Comments
God, Grace, Children and Higher Intelligence

In the House 4 Makeover, we covered happiness, heart and mother. Now,
House 5 covers primarily your relationship to God, intelligence, children,
spiritual learning and destiny, as well as writing, business undertakings and
past life merits.
Signs on the other hand are filters that color how the Houses and planets
behave. This newsletter will cover the sign of Leo, which is considered the
natural 5th House of the Zodiac. That means that the sign of Leo naturally
colors things in line with the qualities of the 5th House.
Let us begin by covering the general characteristics of the 5th house and
what they influence in your life. Then in the 2nd week, we show you how
to examine your own chart (and others) and find which planets are influencing your 5th house.
As we progress through the final 2 weeks, you will be guided through a powerful meditation and
transformation workshop that will enable you to empower your relationship with God in the
manner you desire. Your own personal 5th House is the subject of the next newsletter.
The Fifth House is known as the house of Grace. It is one of the dharma houses, a house of
destiny. A strong 5th house indicates strong character and judgment (the discernment from keen,
clear intelligence), happiness from good children, and spiritual learnedness. It is the house of
poorva punya, past life credit, from righteous (dharmic) acts of merit accumulated from past
lives. It is the house of mantra, use and skill with spiritual practice, as well as higher education
accomplishment (degrees).
Because it is the third house from the third house, it shares some of the qualities or significators
of the third house, such as creativity and writing. Whereas the third house is seen as favoring
writing of articles, the fifth house favors writing of books and production of other literary works
such as poetry. And while the third house favors personal creativity and raw talents, the fifth
house expresses these through creation of new life, i.e. of conception and children, as well as
metaphysical or spiritual conception, i.e. grace from God.
Since the fifth house represents the instrumentation of creativity, it signifies musical instruments.
Spiritually, this would be signified by mantra and skill in recitation of mantra. For these reasons,
it is considered a highly auspicious house. Also, it is the ninth house from the ninth house,
another dharma house that is most auspicious.
Two planets in particular have a strong relationship with the 5th house: the Sun and Jupiter.
These are discussed more below.
Characteristics of Leo, the Natural 5th House

Leo, or Simha, is the 5th sign in the zodiac and therefore the natural 5th
house. The Sun is the ruler of Leo, giving its qualities to the 5th house as
well. Leos possess a strong sense of self and character, with a tendency
for flair and drama. They enjoy attention and are bold and ambitious,
enjoying status and prestige. Leo is symbolized by the lion, representing
the Divine urge for procreation.
Leo is a fire sign, representing purification, penance and creativity, all

significations of the 5th house. Because nothing can be restricted in the
flow of creation, no planet is debilitated in the sign of Leo. Nor is any planet exalted here.
Sun, Lord of Leo

The Sun represents the soul, the primeval fire that lies within all of life. It is the life force of the
universe. The Sun is the male aspect of God that is the silent witness. The Sun represents
courage, physical strength and stamina, the father, king, high status, traveling, mental purity, fire,
anger, hostility, leadership, physician, enlightenment. The Sun becomes exalted in Aries and
debilitated in Libra.
Jupiter as Karaka, Signification, for the 5th House

Each House (bhava) has one or more planets associated with it as a karaka.
Karaka is a Signification. The qualities of the planet are the same as of that
house. In the case of the 5th house, the house karaka is Jupiter. So Jupiter and
the 5th house will tend to signify similar things.
Jupiter is associated with God, spiritual knowledge, children (especially sons), the husband,
spiritual preceptor and good luck. The Sanskrit word for Jupiter is Guru, the word also for
teacher. The most benefic of planets, Jupiter is very expansive and gracious, the great Teacher,
desiring to lead all to the paths of righteousness (dharma). He is the container and bestower of
sacred wisdom. All of Jupiters qualities grace and color the meaning of the fifth house. He is,
according to esteemed Vedic Astrologer, B. Behari, the Grantor of Gods Benediction. Grace
is indicated from the placement of Jupiter. Jupiter in the 5th house is considered very auspicious.
Planets Placed in Leo

Again, its important to remember that when assessing a chart, multiple
factors must be taken into consideration. No one effect, such as planetary
position in a sign or house, will be the sole indicator of fortunes and
influences. In general, one must assess the strength of the house, its
indicator, its lord and occupants, as well as other planetary influences. The
following are general indications for when a particular planet is posited in
the sign of Leo. In the next newsletter we will cover more specific analysis.
Sun in Leo
The Sun is in its own sign in Leo, a place of great strength for the Sun, especially if the Sun is
placed within the first 20 of Leo. The individual will be strong, courageous, well known, hot-
tempered, stubborn and commanding. Leos possess great organizing power (arising from solar-
sun-plexus), capacity for many skills and fields of knowledge, generosity and a humanitarian
heart.
Moon in Leo
Large boned proud, bold, generous, aristocratic, challenges with women, stomach /intestinal
problems, wide range of type of work, strongly influenced by the mother.
Mercury in Leo
Independent, good memory, independent thinker, positive self will, enjoys travel, two mothers,
illusive happiness through spouse, can marry early in life. Enjoys the fine arts, children, singing,
music etc. May tend to get overly absorbed in mental pursuits to the distraction of other duties.
Kind hearted, easy-going, and self-indulgent.
Venus in Leo
With Venus in Leo, an individual enjoys the respect of spiritual preceptors, good relations with
family, marries into a good family, dampened stamina, passionate, emotional, conceited, tends to
jump to conclusions, gains money and other benefits through women (if the native is a man),
difficulty with enemies.
Mars in Leo
Strong body and stamina, fearless, great perseverance in work, respects elders and preceptors,
enjoys the occult, such as astronomy and astrology, mental unrest, independent, author early in
life, restless, noble, combative, few children, enjoys the children of others.
Jupiter in Leo
Pleasant personality, happy, good-hearted, strong intellect, learned, conjugal happiness, famous,
leader, especially military, great stamina, loving friend, well read, difficulty vanquishing
enemies.
Saturn in Leo
This position helps the individual to rise to a higher station in life. The individual is a hard
worker, good writer, ignoble, has difficulty with relations, may be inclined towards ill deeds,
earns a living through service, angry, and stubborn. Early separation from father.
Rahu in Leo
Unfavorable position for Rahu. Can obstruct the Sun and create confusion in the mind,
indecision. Can create mental disturbance, disruptions and blocks to completing higher education
degree. Unfavorable for romance.
Ketu in Leo
Considered the shadow of the sun, it has the ability to block the positive aspects of the Sun and
therefore Leo. Favors self-doubt and low self-worth.

The final step in understanding your personal 5th house is to examine
where your 5th houses Planetary Ruler is placed in your chart and what
that means for you. Remember, the Planetary Ruler can be found in the
chart in Step 2.
Now, look again at your Chart Report. What sign is your planetary ruler of
your 5th House placed? For instance, you may find that you have a Libra 5th House. Libras
ruling planet is Venus. The Chart Report would show you in which House your Venus is placed.
Perhaps your Venus is in your 9th House.
The placement of your 5th House planetary ruler will tell you how your God, Intelligence &
Children karma will be experienced by you in this lifetime. So, in our example, if your ruling 5th
House planet is Venus and placed in your 9th House (Compassion & Grace) of Aquarius, you
may express life service through beautiful poetry or fine arts.
Keep in mind that as the planets have a range of values, so do placement of planets in the houses.

About the Sixth House

Posted on Sep 01, 2009
Astrology Houses
2 Comments

In the House 5 Makeover, we covered relationship with God, spiritual pursuits
and practices, intelligence, children and destiny. Now, House 6 covers
primarily adversaries, debts, litigation, health, healing capability and work
(service to others). We need to work to support our well-being.
The various Zodiac Signs are filters that color how the Houses and planets
behave. This newsletter will cover the sign of Virgo, which is considered the natural 6th House
of the Zodiac. That means that the sign of Virgo naturally colors things in line with the qualities
of the 6th House. In other words, Virgo often relates to health, debts, healing just as the 6th
House do.
Let us begin by covering the general significations of the 6th house and what they influence in
your life. In the 2nd week, we show you how to examine your own chart and find which planets
are influencing your 6th house. As we progress through the final 2 weeks, you will be guided
through a powerful meditation and transformation workshop that will enable you to counteract
principles of negativity. Your own personal 6th House is the subject of the next newsletter.
The Sixth House is known as the house of Health, Enemies, Debt & Litigation. It is one of the
artha houses, a house of achievement of goals or wealth, indicating wealth coming in and going
out. A strong 6th house could indicate the ability to overcome adversaries, strong health, a
possible profession as a healer (medical or holistic doctor, nurse, spiritual healer etc.), ability to
vanquish debts, gains through work efforts.
The Sixth House is also an upachaya house (house of increase), so it is a house that improves
over time. For example, your ability to mitigate or eliminate enmity with others can improve
over time, as can health and the ability to stay healthy.
The 6th House corresponds physically to the middle abdomen, such as the small intestines, liver
and kidney; so health issues related to these are relevant. Other significations of the 6th house
include bad habits, stinginess, imprisonment, diseases, misunderstandings, untimely death,
wicked deeds, dishonor, competition, and mothers siblings.
Characteristics of Virgo, the Natural 6th House

Virgo or Kanya, is the 6th sign in the zodiac, an earth sign, and the natural 6th house. Mercury is
the ruler of Virgo, giving its qualities to the 6th house as well. Virgos make good teachers,
communicators, are pleasant looking, possess practical knowledge and are good craftsman and
artisans. Their mercurial influence makes them vulnerable to nervous disorders, neurosis and
digestive problems. Virgos are very orderly, precise, clean and possess strong memories of facts
and details. They are service oriented, sometimes to a fault. They tend to be late bloomers
sexually, then over compensate when they are older. They can be both volatile and versatile,
reflecting the changeable nature of Mercury.
Mercury, Lord of Virgo

Mercury is associated with intelligence, mental and verbal acuity, communications, wit,
dexterity, shrewdness, commerce, education, adaptability, vocation, writing, childhood,
acquiring and organizing money, the rational conscious mind which organizes ideas, the spoken
word. Mercury influences the many things we do to make something happen and impacts our
manifesting abilities. A weak Mercury can bring immaturity, dishonesty, improper boundaries
with others, addiction, insomnia, anxiety and nervous stomach, foolishness or deceitfulness. In
its highest form, Mercury brings the ability to connect to the Divine Word, names of God, and
our inner powers of the mind.
The Sanskrit word for Mercury is Budha (pronounced bood), meaning intelligence or that
which discerns between the true eternal and the transient illusion. This is how Mercury, in its
highest expression, is the discriminator between truth and non-truth, pure from impure, and
opens a pathway which ultimately becomes the Buddha.
Professionally Virgos tend towards business, speaking, teaching, writing, academia, ministry,
healing, crafts work. If one has weak or afflicted Mercury, fraud, plagiarism, or other forms of
deceit can be activated. Mercury becomes exalted in Virgo, debilitated in Pisces. We should note
that Albert Einstein had a debilitated Mercury, yet we know how well his intellect functioned! Its
placement and many other factors in his chart determined his overall intelligence and genius.
Mars & Saturn as Indicators for the 6th House

Mars and Saturn have a special relationship to the 6th House. These two planets give additional
insight into the nature and qualities of the 6th house. So if you are examining issues regarding
adversaries, for example, it is useful to also examine the position and condition of these two
planets, Mars and Saturn. For example, if Saturn is strong in your chart (not necessarily in the
6th house), then you may have support for overcoming or dissolving adversarial relationships.
Mars in the 10th house can indicate competition or jealousy in career life. In addition, a strong
Mars can activate the ability to overcome those things in the career.
As the signification for disease, Saturn becomes a karaka for the 6th house. Generally speaking,
Saturn is the great task master and is associated with hard work, discipline and service; thus its
association with the 6th house. As the signification for enmity, theft and injury, Mars becomes
the other karaka for the 6th house. Mars is the great warrior and when strong, vanquishes his
enemies.
Planets Placed in Virgo

No one planet placed in a sign or house will be the sole indicator of fortunes and influences. As
we will guide you in the 2nd newsletter in this series, you must assess the strength of the 6th
house; look at where Mars and Saturn are, and also where Mercury (Virgos Lord) is placed.
Your own intuition will indicate to you what resonates in the various descriptions. Here are some
general indications for a particular planet placed in the sign of Virgo.
Sun in Virgo
The individual will be skilled in writing, poetry, mathematics, well-spoken, well-read, strong
earning power, weak constitution, shy, keen intellect, seeks adulation. This placement can give a

handsome, refined. This empowers unselfish and generous tendencies.

For example, if your 6th House sign from Step 1 is Aquarius and you have Saturn placed in
Aquarius, then you will tend to manifest the more positive effects.
Step4:
The final step in understanding your personal 6th house is to examine where your
6th houses Planetary Ruler is placed in your chart and what that means for you.
Remember, the Planetary Ruler can be found in the chart in Step 2.
Now, look again at your Chart Report. What sign is your planetary ruler of your 6th
House placed? For instance, you may find that you have a Sagittarius 6th House.
Sagittarius ruling planet is Jupiter. The Chart Report would show you in which House your
Jupiter is placed. Perhaps your Jupiter is in your 9th House.
The placement of your 6th House planetary ruler will tell you how Health, Enemies, Debt &
Litigation karma will be experienced by you in this lifetime. So, in our example, if your ruling
6th House planet is Jupiter and placed in your 9th House (Compassion & Grace) of Aquarius,
you may express your spiritual yearnings through service to others; as well as luck (9th house) in
overcoming adversaries.

purifying self. Does well to consistently save money for the
proverbial rainy day.
Earlier in life can be deceived by friends and others in business
ventures. Later success in speculative/entrepreneurial ventures.
11th House
Daring and generous. Good immune system. Defeats enemies over
time. Must develop and maintain positive outlook.
Employees can bring losses, sometimes works hard for little gain.
Interest in liberation but must not go into debt for spiritual pursuits.
12th House In long run, resolves problems. Passionate, but cannot give way to
recklessness. Should focus on enlightenment of others to avoid
frustration.
By means of another example, if your Sixth House is Libra, then your planetary ruler is Venus.
When you look at your chart, you see that Venus is placed in your 11th House of Pisces.
Therefore, in this lifetime, your primary 6h house karma can be to learn to discern the character
of friends and associates, as they may turn out to be adversaries. Also gains (11th house) through
hard work and service.
Summary

health, enemies, debt & litigation. If you have 2 or more planets in your 6th House, look to
which of the planets are weak and causing you difficulties based on the descriptions of the
planets above. Then remedy that planet!
When Health, Enemies, Debt & Litigation Karmas Become Active

Health, harmony, and lack of debt are on-going concerns for most of us. But there are times
when the lessons and opportunities for growth in these areas are most pronounced, or when
karmas become particularly activated. To see if you are in a period especially influencing your
6th house issues, run your Planetary Influence report in Astroved for free. This report will tell
you your major and minor planetary period, called Dasha (major) and Bukti (minor). If your
major or minor planet is either the Ruler of your Sixth House or in the Sixth House, this will be a
time of increased focus on 6th house conditions. If the planet is good for you, look for gains
through self-efforts, favorable outcomes in legal issues and winning over adversaries. If it is
unfavorable, then there can be, for example, difficulty disharmony with co-workers, excessive
debt and higher possibility for accidents.

The Seventh House: Relationships

In the House 6 Makeover, we covered countering negative
forces such as health, accidents and enemies in your life. Now,
House 7 covers primarily relationships, marriage, business and
personal partnerships. This is a very important House as
relationships make life meaningful, and some of our past life
karmas in that area will be indicated by the 7th House. We are
all social beings with a strong desire to interact with others.
We have explained before that the Signs are filters which color
how the Houses and Planets behave. This newsletter will cover the sign of Libra, which is
considered the natural 7th House of the Zodiac. That means that the Sign of Libra naturally
colors things in line with the qualities of the 7th House.
Let us begin by covering the general significators of the 7th House and what they influence in
your life. Then in the 2nd week, we show you how to examine your own chart (and others) and
find which planets are influencing your 7th House. As we progress through the final 2 weeks,
you will be guided through a powerful meditation and transformation tools that will enable you
to improve your ability to attract and sustain healthy, harmonious relationships. Your own
personal 7th House is the subject of the next newsletter.

The Seventh House is known as the House of Relationships. It is one of the kama houses, a
house of desires, specifically how desires get fulfilled. A strong 7th House could indicate a
happy marriage life, high status in career and society, and harmonious partnerships in business.
Libras symbol of the merchant scales reminds us that business commerce and partners are also
7th House issues.
Other significators of the 7th House include courtship, spouse, moral conduct, adultery, lust or
passion, sex partners, secret affairs, foreign lands, life path, and home. (As we explained in
Month 4: the 4th House is home; however, the 7th House is the 4th House away from the natural
4th House, so it also flavors home issues. This is only mentioned for those who have been
working with Vedic Astrology a while. If you are new, this is not necessary to understand for
now).
The 7th House also influences short journeys, sensory gratification, sexual desires, and lower
abdominal organs (e.g. urinary tract, prostrate).
Your personal 7th House its ruling planet and chart position, planets influencing the 7th house
and its Lord (ruling planet) will also give clues as to the nature and character of your partners
and your relationship to them. Keep in mind that as we evolve, so do our planetary qualities and
influences. So an immature Mars as Lord of the 7th can be brash and angry, whereas a more
evolved, mature Mars can bring devotion and loyalty. As you grow and develop, you can bring
in more of the positive energies which are potential in your chart.
Characteristics of Libra, the Natural 7th House

Libra, Tula, is the 7th sign in the Zodiac, an air sign, and the natural 7th House. Venus is the
ruler of Libra, giving its qualities to the 7th House as well. Libras are artistic and enjoy various
forms of art: music, song, dance, theatre, and fine arts. They are lovers of harmony and peace, as
symbolized by the balanced scales. They value relationships, and shape and experience their life
through meaningful relationships. Libras are generally attractive, charming and charismatic.
They live in beautiful environs and enjoy being able to influence others. Their love of truth and
ability to tune in to higher planes of existence, allows them to transcend materiality with ease.
Libras can be passionate leaders, such as Gandhi who had positive influence, or if afflicted,
someone like Hitler who was damaging to others.
Venus as the Ruler and Indicator of the 7th House

Venus is beauty, refinement, love and harmony. She is responsible for the creative and
sexual urge in nature. She inspires consideration and care for others, body care, and the
desire to love and be loved. Venus is also the indicator for wealth, cars, clothes,
lovemaking, social status, happiness, flowers, song and dance, perfumes aromatherapy, and
sweet speech.
Traditionally, in a mans chart Venus is the karaka (or indicator) for the wife. In a womans
chart, Jupiter is the karaka for the husband. From the condition of these planets and their
placement in the chart, the description of the spouse/partner can be indicated.
Planets Placed in Libra

Again, its important to remember that when assessing a chart, multiple factors must be taken
into consideration. No one effect, such as planetary position in a sign or house, will be the sole
indicator of fortunes and influences. In general, one must assess the strength of the house, its
indicator, and its lord and occupants, as well as other planetary influences. The following are
general indications for when a particular planet is posited in the sign of Libra. As always, the
chart must be considered in the aggregate.
Sun in Libra
The Sun is debilitated or weak here, so one must guard against the influence of the lower nature
of Venus such as addiction or overuse of alcohol, drugs or sex, loose moral conduct. However,
the Sun here can make one both popular and frank. Can be impartial, with a strong sense of
justice.
Moon in Libra
Intelligent, wealthy, lover of the arts, principled, amicable, professional, respects spiritual
preceptors, flexible, idealistic. Must guard against being fickle.
Mars in Libra
Impetuous love nature, possible impulsive marriage, ambitious, self-confident, charming,
materialistic, family-oriented, self-made wealth, may have frequent breaks in relationships and
partnerships. Often skills in debate or sport. Must guard against enmity with women.
Mercury in Libra
Favorable for writing, studying and education, strong intuition, intellectual connection with
spouse, faithful, discreet. Can be inclined to material excesses and must guard against
overindulgence.
Jupiter in Libra
Good-hearted, devoted, popular, harmonious marriage and friendships and gains through them
(unless Jupiter is afflicted in the chart, then the opposite), religious, some tendency to overwork,
fair, courteous, open-minded.
Venus in Libra
Venus is in its own sign in Libra (a strong position for Venus). This strengthens Venusians
qualities such as a loving, sympathetic nature, good friendships, and marriage, fidelity,
passionate, sensual and very intuitive. Can indicate a statesman or other high status social
position. Also potential for a profession in a Venus-related field in the arts.
Saturn in Libra
Saturn is exalted here in Libra, so Saturn is at full strength in this Sign. Respected, prominent,
sound judgment, arrogant and charitable. Indicates a notable difference in age, social or financial
status from the marriage partner. Position and power gained through older business partner.

your 7th Houses Planetary Ruler is placed in your chart and what that means
Now, look again at your Chart Report. In what Sign is your Planetary Ruler of
your 7th House placed? For instance, you may find that you have a Gemini 7th House. Geminis
ruling planet is Mercury. The Chart Report would show you in which House your Mercury is
placed. Perhaps your Mercury is in your 10th House.
The placement of your 7th House planetary ruler will tell you how your Relationship karma will
be experienced by you in this lifetime. So, in our example, if your ruling 7th House planet is
Mercury and placed in your 10th House (Career) of Virgo, you may partner with your spouse
in your career and/or your partner has a public career.

Happiness in relationships, and finding and keeping the right mate are generally an on-going
value for most of us. But there are times when the lessons and opportunities for growth in these
areas are most pronounced, or when past life credits become particularly activated. To see if you
are in a period especially influencing your 7th house issues, run your Planetary Influence
report in Astroved for free. This report will tell you your major and minor planetary period,
called Dasha (major) and Bukti (minor). If your major or minor planet is either the Ruler of your
7th House or in the 7th House, this will be a time of increased focus on 7th house conditions. If
the planet is good for you, look for new or improved relationships and business opportunities. If
it is unfavorable, then there can be, for example, marriage or relationship difficulties.

The Eighth House: Transformation, Obstacles & Longevity

In the House 7 Makeover, we covered marriage, relationships, partnerships and
moral conduct. Now, House 8 covers primarily transformations, obstacles,
longevity and legacy, as well as chronic health issues (versus acute health issues
related to the 6th house).
Signs, on the other hand, are filters that color how the Houses and planets behave. This
newsletter will cover the sign of Scorpio, which is considered the natural 8th House of the
Zodiac. That means that the sign of Scorpio naturally colors things in line with the qualities of
the 8th House.
Let us begin by covering the general significators of the 8th house and what they influence in
find which planets are influencing your 8th house. As we progress through the final 2 weeks, you
will be guided through a powerful meditation and transformation workshop that will enable you
to improve your ability to overcome obstacles, create smooth transitions and transformations,
and improve your health. Your own personal 8th House is the subject of the next newsletter.

The Eighth House is known as the house of Transformation, Obstacles & Longevity. It is one
of the moksha houses, a house of enlightenment, indicating what must be changed, left behind or
transmuted for purification of the identity and spiritual liberation. It is a house of great mystery,
the hidden depths of the persona, carrying the highest and lowest of human expression and
experience. A strong 8th house indicates a healthy mental and physical constitution, ease in
overcoming challenges that naturally occur in life, and longevity. The hidden depths of the 8th
house also bring the karmic undertow of criminal intent and criminal behavior. It is a house of
both sexual deviancy and kundalini rising as well as the continuum between these two points.
Whereas the 7th house is the sexual relationship between two people, the 8th house is sexuality
and the sexual act. If this house is disturbed, it can bring sexual deviancy. If it is strong and
healthy, and the individual is on a high spiritual path, it can bring the capacity for tantra, a
science developed by the Siddhas to transform sexual energy into spiritual energy; thus the
transformative potentiality latent in the 8th house becomes realized.
The range of kundalini describes the range of potentialities held through the 8th house. Kundalini
just awakened but difficult to control is expressed as the Goddess Kali. This is associated with
the subconscious mind (things hidden). When this energy has become controlled and brings
peace, it is the Goddess Durga (death and destruction). When fully awakened and manifesting as
positive creative (transformative) power, it becomes Mahalakshmi, Saraswati, and other forms of
Mother Divine. The 8th bhava can also bring psychic abilities. As with any gifts, and especially
these, proper unfoldment is crucial for unlocking their highest benefits. This includes having
correct intention in using them. Else, misery and psychological disturbance prevail.
It is the house of the dream world and can bestow the ability to remember and interpret dreams.
As the house of death, in indicates longevity and also the capacity to experience samadhi, both
expressions of the dying of individual consciousness, and dissolving back into universal
consciousness. Thus, St. Pauls famous description: I die daily.
Materially, it is the house of all things hidden. This includes hidden mental and psychological
disturbances, hidden wealth and serious diseases. It also concerns unearned wealth such as well
as lotteries, inheritances, and gains and losses from the stock market. As a secretive house, it
involves research & development, investigative and intelligence activities. Hidden agendas and
motives underpin criminal behavior, or unethical dealings. Certain planets placed in the 8th
bhava can bring a tendency to be underhanded and dishonest.
As a house of legacy, it is also a house of scandal (negative legacy). It is the house of

transforming consciousness. As such, it holds the potentiality for drug addiction as well as
nirvana (bliss consciousness). The seeking for experience beyond ego boundaries is defined by
the 8th house. It is conceivable that an individual who has overcome addiction can then
transmute 8th house karma to experience samadhi which is the 8th limb of yoga.
Your personal 8th house its ruling planet and chart position, planets influencing the 8th house
and its Lord (ruling planet) will also give clues as to your own Achilles heel. These will also
indicate benefits given by the 8th house, such as a long, healthy life. Keep in mind that as we
evolve, so, too, do our planetary qualities and influences.
Characteristics of Scorpio, the Natural 8th House

Scorpio, Vrishchika , is the 8th sign in the zodiac, a water sign, and the natural 8th house. Mars
is the ruler of Scorpio, giving its qualities to the 8th house as well. And like the 8th house,
Scorpio deals with what is hidden. Therein lies its potential for both creativity and danger.
Scorpio can be tenacious, vindictive, selfish and determined. It produces warriors, military,
policemen, and athletes. Physically, it is the genitals and anus.
Scorpios tend to be secretive, intense, intelligent, perceptive but cautious, very passionate and
sexual. If afflicted, there can be deviancy, underhandedness and a tendency to temper and
violence. Its important for a Scorpio not to get stuck in negative emotions such as jealousy,
anger or attachment; as well as in the 3rd chakra of personal power. These will interfere with
development of their highest qualities and bring pain. The quest for Scorpios is to surrender to
their hearts. Then things will flow properly as they are operating from their true strength.
Mars as the Ruler of the Natural 8th House

Mars is a planet of intense creative energy and extroverted emotions. It is a
planet of great passion, intensity and force. Mars represents brothers,
friends and associates. It brings power, strength, courage and
aggressiveness. It can also bring devotion and loyalty. When strong, it
brings will, determination and strength to follow through on personal goals.
When weak, it brings jealousy, competition, violence, a controlling nature
and self-destruction. Someone with a successful military career would most
likely have a strongly placed Mars. The positive traits of Mars give a strong
logical mind and oratory skills which lend themselves to success as a
lawyer or politician. Mars mechanical and technical abilities makes for strong scientists,
engineers, mechanics and chemists. Mars can give athletic success and excellence with martial
arts.
Mars rules machines and anything technical. He governs work, research and material pursuits.
His passionate nature yearns for union, but his overbearing side often makes that illusive. He is
ambitious, zealous and can be arrogant, impulsive and inflexible. Saturn with Mars inhibits
Martian energy and drives. Jupiter enhances them. It governs blood, menstrual cycle, accidents,
burns and physical vitality. The best house placement for Mars is the 1st, 6th or 10th houses.
Saturn as the Indicator of the 8th House

As the planetary significator for death and longevity, he becomes the karaka for the 8th house.
Saturn brings its qualities of heaviness and serpent wisdom, the grim reaper of the planet
family. He casts a shadow over materiality so that Truth may reveal Itself. He is the great
abnegator, denier, of self-expression, in favor of discovering Self-expression. The placement and
health of Saturn in the chart bring insights into 8th house karma.
Planets Placed in Scorpio

The moon is debilitated in Scorpio. No planet is exalted in Scorpio. Some schools of thought say
Ketu becomes exalted in Scorpio.
Remember that when assessing a chart, multiple factors must be taken into consideration. No one
effect, such as planetary position in a sign or house, will be the sole indicator of fortunes and
influences. In general, one must assess the strength of the house, its indicator, and its lord and
occupants, as well as other planetary influences and the Dasha and Bukti you are running. The
following are general indications for when a particular planet is posited in the sign of Scorpio.
If you have a planet or planets in Scorpio that are in good condition then the negative affects can
be lessened. Likewise, if the planets are afflicted, the positive effects would be lessened or
negated. The chart must always be considered in the aggregate.
Sun in Scorpio
When the Sun is here, the persons actions, represented by the Sun, will be Venus-like. They
would be involved with arts. Their careers would flourish in Taurus-like slow steady established
occupations or businesses. They will be able to accumulate wealth over time, slowly attaining
returns in conservative, long term investments.
Moon in Scorpio
When the Moon is here, the persons emotions, represented by the Moon, will be Venus-like.
This would be a even personality who is attractive and popular, but quiet. When the persistent
quality of Taurus is linked with the Moons emotions it can lead to possessiveness or jealousy
not wanting to let go.
Mercury in Scorpio
Witty, clever-spoken, bold, enjoys discovering underlying causes and mysteries. If afflicted can
be obstinate, crafty, malicious, selfish, tendency to over indulge. Will likely use mental acumen
in life work, such as chemistry, alchemy, metallurgy, detective, military. Such people may have
interest to study spirituality and must guard against being reckless.
Venus in Scorpio
Independent, artistic, proud, sensual, extravagant, money gains through others. If afflicted,
difficulty with opposite sex, potential for lack of restraint or modesty. Potential for great psychic
intuition. Must guard against quarreling or seeking revenge. Is refreshed by visiting scenic
places.
Mars in Scorpio
In its own sign here, Mars makes the individual clever, diplomatic, strong memory (for details),
proud, aggressive, self-assured and successful in life. If afflicted, over indulgent, haughty and
cruel. Great potential for owning property as well as natural talents with occult arts. Energetic
and must keep that energy guided in positive directions.
Jupiter in Scorpio
The individual will possess perseverance and elegant manners, good imagination and
appreciation for elegance, be exacting, passionate and zealous. If afflicted, superior air, selfish,
imprudent. Money is gained through Scorpio occupations (see above). Usually has a strong
appearance. Must guard against vindictive tendencies. Can be very hard working.
Saturn in Scorpio
The individual is adventurous, forceful and strong willed. Can succeed and influence others
through unseen ways and channels. If afflicted, rash, hard-hearted, arrogant, over-bearing ,
unhealthy and violent. Not favorable for public office. Must guard against sarcastic speech. Can
have genuine interest in the occult which they must use for the welfare of others. Must be very
careful in using fire or weapons.

The final step in understanding your personal 8th house is to examine where
your 8th houses Planetary Ruler is placed in your chart and what that means for
you. Remember, the Planetary Ruler can be found in the chart in Step 2.
Now, look again at your Chart Report. What sign is your planetary ruler of your
8th House placed? For instance, you may find that you have a Pisces 8th House. Pisces ruling

Perhaps your Jupiter is in your 2nd House.
The placement of your 8th House planetary ruler will tell you how your Transformation,
Obstacles & Longevity karma will be experienced by you in this lifetime. So, in our example, if
your ruling 8th House planet is Jupiter and placed in your 2nd House (Wealth/Finances) of
Virgo, this favors the ability to generate income from others such as inheritance.

the 8th House. Saturn, being the planet of longevity, in the house of longevity, brings you the
promise of a long life.

house indicators such as spiritual teachers and learning, relationship with your father,
luck, dharma (truth), personal values, purity of mind and soul, law, justice, and past
life merits.

newsletter will cover the sign of Sagittarius, which is considered the natural 9th House of the
Zodiac. That means that the sign of Sagittarius naturally colors things in line with the qualities of

you will be guided through a powerful meditation and transformation workshop that will enable
you to improve your capacity for compassion and increase your receptivity to grace. Your own
personal 9th House is the subject of the next newsletter.

The Ninth House is known as the House of Compassion & Grace. It is the last dharma house
and indeed is known as the House of Dharma. It is considered the most auspicious house in the
chart, as the culmination of dharma, bringing the grace of the guru into play. Being 5th from
the 5th House, it is also recognized as a house of poorva punya, past life credit for good karma. It
is the house where yearning for Truth, knowledge of the laws of the universe and seeking for
ones true nature and purpose in life become activated. It is a house of power, prestige, honor and
influence. The form and manner of your spiritual path is indicated by the quality of the 9th
House. The 9th House contains energy for efforts directed toward self-discovery.
The 9th House can bring sudden gains and turns of fortune. It is a house of philosophy, religion,
medicine, politics and law. It is the House of higher learning and teaching in the quest for secrets
of the universe. The 9th House signifies devotion to God, devotion to ones personal deity. The
9th House indicates our spiritual and ethical disposition, our sense of righteousness in self and
the world. It gives our ability to use our gifts and grace for the betterment of all. If gifts are not
wisely used, this House can cause us to suffer their withdrawal from our benefit.
The fathers nature is indicated from the 9th House. Physically, it is associated with the hips and
thighs.
Characteristics of Sagittarius, the Natural 9th House

Sagittarius, Dhanu, is the 9th Sign in the Zodiac, a fire Sign, and the natural 9th House. Jupiter is
the ruler of Sagittarius, giving its qualities to the 9th House as well. Sagittarius is the archer in
the form of a centaur (half-man, half-horse) drawing a bow pointed toward the sky. Sagittarius is
focusing meticulously and aiming high toward a target for success. As a leader, he is the general.
Sagittarius represents the union of mind and heart when actualized through devotion to the
Source of Divine Love.
Following the 8th sign of death, the 9th sign is a sign of the future. Sagittarius is a prophet,
highly intuitive, and an optimist, seeing the better future that lies ahead. Sagittarians can be high
energy, high-strung, outspoken, domineering and exceedingly independent, rebelling against any
hint of restraint. Friends are of high stature and helpful in advancement. If afflicted, Sagittarians
can be faultfinding and harsh in their words, striking knowingly at the vulnerabilities of others.
They are often very charitable, sometimes to a fault. A Sagittarius native will often have dual
careers.
Sagittarians have a hearty constitution and enjoy sports and outdoor activities. Over activity can
cause weakness to the lungs, bronchial, ears and throat, as well as joints. Enjoyers of life, they
can tend to over indulgence.
Jupiter as the Ruler & Indicator of the 9th House

Jupiter is the most benefic, generous Planet. He is the Planet of Dharma, holding our innermost
values and principles that define our actions. He is the inner guiding light of truth. The Sanskrit
word for Jupiter is Guru which is also the word for teacher. Jupiter is very expansive and
gracious, the great Teacher, desiring to lead all to the paths of righteousness (dharma). He is the
container and bestowed of sacred wisdom. Jupiter is the Planet of divine intelligence and, as
such, he indicates our personal capacity for knowing, experiencing and living cosmic
intelligence.
In Jupiters capacity as signification of dharma, he becomes karaka for the 9th House. Higher
values, principles, meritorious deeds the charges of dharma, are part of 9th House promises.
Jupiter is associated with higher or spiritual knowledge, children (especially sons), the husband,
spiritual preceptor, minister to kings, money and good luck. All of Jupiters qualities grace and
color the meaning of the 9th House. Grace is indicated from the placement and condition of
Jupiter. Jupiter becomes exalted in Cancer and debilitated in Capricorn.
Sun as the Indicator of the 9th House

As the planetary karaka for the 9th House, Surya, the Sun brings its higher nature to bear. In its
capacity as karaka for the father, it represents spiritual authority and the kinds of values and
authority that governs our lives. Ultimately, the Sun takes us beyond individual identity to be the
Divine Light.
The Sun represents the soul, the primeval fire that lies within all of life. It is the life force of the
universe. The Sun is the male aspect of God that is the silent witness. The Sun represents
courage, physical strength and stamina, the father, king, high status, traveling, mental purity, fire,
anger, hostility, leadership, physician, enlightenment.

that sign, then read the descriptions for each Planet that you have in your 9th House to see how
they affect your 9th House indicators.

Step4:
The final step in understanding your personal 9th House is to examine where your 9th Houses
Planetary Ruler is placed in your chart and what that means for you. Remember, the Planetary
Ruler can be found in the chart in Step 2. Now, look again at your Chart Report. In what Sign is
the Planetary Ruler of your 9th House? For instance, you may find that you have a Leo 9th
House. Leos ruling planet is the Sun. The Chart Report would show you in which House your
Sun is placed. Perhaps your Sun is in your 10th House.
The placement of your 9th House Planetary Ruler will tell you how your Compassion & Grace
karma will be experienced by you in this lifetime. So, in our example, if your ruling 9th House
Planet is the Sun and placed in your 10th House (Profession) of Virgo, this favors a strong
career in the public.
Keep in mind that as the Planets have a range of values, so do placement of Planets in the
Houses. Below are some indications of each House:

Strong for spiritual pursuits and attainment (12th house is
12th House enlightenment). Luck can be dampened or bring difficulties to the
father. Generous. Spends for the welfare of others.
By means of another example, if your 9th House is Libra, then your Planetary Ruler is Venus.
When you look at your chart, you see that Venus is placed in its own Sign of Libra in the 9th
House. Venus, being the Planet of divine love and the feminine, can bring an interest and/or
practice of the divine feminine in some form. A devotional nature would be indicated (i.e. pursuit
of God through the heart) as well as abundant overall luck in life.
Summary

This will give you a good basic comprehension of which Signs and Planets are influencing your
compassion and grace. If you have 2 or more Planets in your 9th House, look to which of the
Planets are weak and causing you difficulties based on the descriptions of the Planets above.
Then remedy that Planet!

About the Tenth House

The Tenth House: Profession

In the House 9 Makeover, we covered your compassion and grace. Now,House 10
covers primarily your professional life and other 10th House indicators such as
community service, name and fame, achievement, honor and recognition.
Signs, on the other hand, are filters that color how the Houses and Planets behave.
This article will cover the sign of Capricorn, which is considered the natural 10th
House of the Zodiac. That means that the sign of Capricorn naturally colors things
in line with the qualities of the 10th House.
Let us begin by covering the general significators of the 10th House and what
they influence in your life. Then in the 2nd week, we show you how to examine
your own chart (and others) and find which planets are influencing your 10th
House. As we progress through the final 2 weeks, you will be guided through a
powerful meditation and transformation workshop that will enable you to optimize your career
success. Your own personal 10th House is the subject of the next article.
The Tenth House is known as the house of Profession. It is the last artha, or wealth house. The
2nd House is the first artha house, indicating the sources of wealth (family, personal worth). The
6th House of work and service indicates how wealth is earned and what must be overcome in the
process, culminating in the 10th House by what is gained by the fruits of ones labors. It is the
house of business, name and fame, success in life, political power, wealth, honor, foreign
travel, financial status, government service, place of residence, and karma of the soul being
drawn to its final destination.
While it is called the Profession house, it is by no means the only place in the chart to examine
career issues. (The rising sign and its lord and Mercury are other key indicators for profession.) It
is the house where effects of career effort are indicated: the achievements and recognitions
gained through career efforts. Indicated here are the channels through which past karma leads the
individual to the future, how our karmic past colors our future. It shows the power and position
we are able to attain. It indicates worldly, political and social power and prestige. Generally
speaking, all Planets do well here as it is the most powerful house in the chart, being the highest
point in the chart, where the Sun is highest in the mid-heaven (opposite the 4th House which is
the lowest point in the chart below the horizon).
It is the house of the father (their legacy and mark on the world), foreign travel, financial status
and place of residence. Physically, it is related to the knees.
Characteristics of Capricorn, the Natural 10th House

Capricorn, Makara , is the 10th sign in the zodiac, an earth sign, and the natural 10th house.
Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn, giving its qualities to the 10th use as well. Capricorn is
considered perhaps the holiest of signs. Capricorn has been the rising sign to many great heroes,
saviors and avatars. It has been associated with the Tropic of Cancer, considered the seat of the
guardians of the earth plane, who point the world to her spiritual destiny. It represents the Winter
Solstice, the time of new birth.
Capricorn activates the process of transforming individual consciousness to universal

consciousness, a process which can be uncomfortable in the material and emotional sense, but
which promises ultimate spiritual fulfillment. Under Capricorns influence, past karma becomes
activated. Dissolution of traditional values occurs. (Cancer, its opposite sign, is concerned with
maintaining of traditions.) Capricorn sets in motion the disillusionment of the old for
transformation. This allows re-creation of the individual in fulfillment of their spiritual destiny.
Capricorns are hardworking, tenacious, and have the potential for great achievements. They
overcome many obstacles and can range from small town farmers to a hard-nosed
businessperson, although they also incline towards science, math and technology. They can be
rather rigid, conventional, dogmatic and serious, and benefit from the practice of surrender and
humor.
Saturn as the Ruler of the Natural 10th House

Saturn is the great purifier, associated with Yama, the god of death. Saturn is the great denier for
dissolution of the illusion of the material world. He is the initiator of spiritual purification and
illumination, abnegating worldly identifications and attachments. Saturn deprives the mind of
lifes usual joys. He creates obstacles, blocks initiatives as well as the force behind personal
drive. He is the great contractor (to Jupiter the great expander), dampening efforts and drawing
inward to the truth of the Self. Saturn casts a shadow over the created world and activates karma
for retribution, whether good or difficult. Saturn is associated with persistence, asceticism,
concentration. Coming under Saturns influence in some way calls for surrender of the ego self.
Saturn is the great task master and is associated with hard work, discipline and service. As
such, he represents land and fixed assets. He represents the laborer, dark and hidden places,
disease and death. He causes delay, melancholy and deprivation. Saturn represents the dark
aspects of the mind: crime, perversion and the underworld. He creates separation from loved
ones and bestows grief.
That said, a strong Saturn is necessary for spiritual attainment. It is the great significator of fate.
Saturn becomes exalted in Libra and debilitated in Aries. An excellent book to read so as to
deepen appreciation and respect for Saturn is The Greatness of Saturn: A Therapeutic Myth by
Robert Svoboda.
Sun, Mercury, Jupiter, as Significators of the 10th House

As the planetary karaka for fame and prestige, Surya the Sun becomes a significator for the 10th
House. The Sun represents spiritual authority and the kinds of values and authority that governs
our lives. Ultimately, the Sun takes us beyond individual identity to be the Divine Light. The Sun
represents courage, physical strength and stamina, the father, king, high status, traveling, mental
purity, fire, anger, hostility, leadership, physician, enlightenment.
Mercury is a planetary karaka for profession and brings its profession indicators to bear:
business, speaking, teaching, writing, academia, ministry, healing, crafts work.
As the other significator for profession, Jupiter also colors the 10th House through its influences:
higher or spiritual knowledge, the husband, spiritual preceptor, and minister to kings, money and
good luck.

The Eleventh House: Fulfillment of Desires & Profit

In the House 10 Makeover, we covered your profession, community service,
name and fame, achievement, honor and recognition. Now House 11 covers
primarily fulfillment of desires and profit in life, and other 11th house
indicators such as gains (including excess), aspirations, friendships and siddhis, spiritual
accomplishments.
Signs are filters that color how the Houses and planets behave. This article will cover the sign of
Aquarius, which is considered the natural 11th House of the Zodiac. That means that the sign of
Aquarius naturally colors things in line with the qualities of the 11th House.
Let us begin by covering the general significators of the 11th House and what they influence in
find which planets are influencing your 11th House. As we progress through the final 2 weeks,
you will be guided through a powerful meditation and transformation workshop that will enable
you to improve your capacity for fulfillment of desires and profit. Your own personal 11th House
is the subject of the next article.
The Eleventh House is known as the house of Fulfillment of Desires &
Profit. It is the last karma, or desire house. The 3rd house is the first karma
house, indicating the inner sources of desires (ambition, character, drive).
The 7th house of relationships indicates how desires become fulfilled,
culminating in the 11th house by what desires become fulfilled, the profits
of life. It is the house of gains, usually referring to material gains, but of
course all gains can be understood from here, including spiritual gains, referred to as siddhis. It
represents personal goals and aspirations and can show the extremes of egoism of personal
pursuits as well as the health of authentic desire (goals in alignment with ones true purpose).
It is a house of abundance, giving increase according to the planets placed there. For example,
Venus placed here can give an abundance of wives (one at a time); Jupiter here can give an
abundance of wealth. It is also a house of excess, such as extra-marital affairs, multiple partners
and overt opulence. It can bring unearned income, gifts, windfalls and opportunities as well as a
love for luxury cars and jewels. It is a house of sociability, friends, and social contacts. As 6th
from the 6th House, it represents recovery from illness and the enemy of ones enemies.
From a spiritual perspective, the 11th house contains the trap of material attachment, as well as
the opportunity to gain and enjoy material comforts without being in bondage to passion and
materialism. All planets can bring auspicious favors to the 11th House. It is the manifesting of
creative power.
It is the house of the elder siblings, their character, fate and well-being. Physically, it is related to
the calves, shins and ankles.
Characteristics of Aquarius, the Natural 11th House
Aquarius, Kumbha, is the 11th sign in the zodiac, an air sign, and the natural 11th
House. Saturn is the ruler of Aquarius, giving its qualities to the 11th house as well.
The symbol for Aquarius is the pot, the container of all that is gained. The water
pouring from it is the cosmic life force energy alchemizing matter into spirit and
purifying individuality to its cosmic essence. It is a very humanitarian sign as the water-bearer is
sharing with others.
Aquarians enjoy both the arts and sciences, and can be great orators and writers as well. They
enjoy the unique and unusual and love with great loyalty. They can have fiery outbursts, but
forget quickly. There can be many changes in their fortunes; what is earned is on their own merit
and hard work. Occupations can often be of a hidden nature, secretive, investigative or the like.
Marital happiness is favored, with a mate in or identified with the arts.
Aquarians love the gain of knowledge, but generally are more interested in material and
scientific, rather than spiritual knowledge. Aquarians are sociable and not so attached to money.
They can be a bit idiosyncratic, idealistic and a fighter for the underdog. Aquarians are visionary,
humanitarian and have the potential for being great teachers. They can be unconventional,
futuristic and even eccentric. They will choose a cause for the greater good and can sacrifice
personal interests for it. They are prone to self-abnegation, the influence of Saturn.
Saturn as the Ruler of the 11th House

Saturn is the great purifier, associated with Yama, the god of death. He is the great denier for
dissolution of the illusion of the material world. He is the great initiator of spiritual purification
and illumination, abnegating worldly identifications and attachments. Saturn deprives the mind
of lifes usual joys. He creates obstacles, blocks initiatives and the force behind personal drive.
He is the great contractor (in contrast to Jupiter, the great expander), dampening efforts and
drawing one inward to the truth of the Self. Saturn casts a shadow over the created world and
activates karma for retribution, good or difficult. He cultivates persistence, asceticism,
concentration, calling for surrender of the ego self.
Saturn is the great task master and is associated with hard work, discipline and service. He
represents the laborer, dark and hidden places, disease and death. He causes delay, melancholy
and deprivation. Saturn represents the dark aspects of the mind: crime, perversion and the
underworld. He creates separation from loved ones and bestows grief.
That said, a strong Saturn is necessary for spiritual attainment. It is the great significator of fate.
Saturn becomes exalted in Libra and debilitated in Aries.
Jupiter as Indicator of the 11th House

Guru, Jupiter, as the significator of gain, becomes the significator for the 11th house. Its
placement in the chart indicates where and through what means desires get fulfilled.

The Twelfth House: Enlightenment

In the House 11 Makeover, we covered your fulfillment of desires and profits
from life. Now House 12 covers primarily your Enlightenment, and other 12th
house indicators such as expenditures, confinements and journeys to foreign
lands.
The astrological signs are filters that color how the houses and planets behave.
This newsletter will cover the sign of Pisces, which is considered the natural 12th
House of the Zodiac. That means that the sign of Pisces naturally colors things in line with the
qualities of the 12th House.
Let us begin week one by covering the general significators of the 12th house and what they
influence in your life. Then in the 2nd week, we show you how to examine your own chart (and
others) and find which planets are influencing your 12th house. As we progress through the final
2 weeks, you will be guided through a powerful meditation and transformation workshop that
will enable you to improve your capacity for attaining enlightenment and propitiating all good
effects of your 12th house. Your own personal 12th House is the subject of the next newsletter.
The Twelfth House is known as the house of Enlightenment. It is the last moksha, or
enlightenment house. The 4th house is the first moksha house, indicating the subject of liberation
(the inner life, heart, feelings). The 8th house of Transformation, Obstacles & Longevity
indicates what must be transformed and purified for liberation to occur, culminating in the 12th
house as the end of the journey. It is the house of loss and death, representing what is taken or
destroyed for the cycle of death and rebirth to be broken.
As a house of release, it is also the house of confinement, including ashram life or visits, hospital
stays and imprisonment. As a house of loss, it represents expenditures, financially, physically
and of consciousness (the loss of finances, physical and material consciousness?). As such, it is a
house of sleep, bed pleasures, and life after death. It is also expenditure on charities and luxury
items. It is the house of long-distance travel to foreign lands.
As a house of the past, it shows our past karmas we are bound to and where they ultimately bring
us, as the 12th house is the culmination of our earth journey. As a house of renunciation, it is a
house of yoga and meditation, processes which support the abnegation of ego self. It is also the
house of dispensation karmic and financial debts. It is the death of hubris and the birth of
humility. It is arousal of the Serpent Fire and its merging with the Infinite. It is secret chambers
of our life and release of all individuality back to the cosmic ocean.
As the place of the subconscious, it can contain fantasies, illusions and mental disorders; as well
as astral experiences and work on subtle planes of existence. Of all the 12 houses, it is arguably
the house most benefiting from conscious spiritual practice. Its affects on strictly a material life
can be harsh. It is the last call to discovery of the Self before the close of life.
Characteristics of Pisces, the Natural 12th House

Pisces, Meena, is the 12th sign in the zodiac, a water sign, and the natural 12th house.
Jupiter is the ruler of Pisces, giving its qualities to the 12th house as well. The symbol
for Pisces is two fishes swimming in opposite directions, representing the quest for
integration of duality and opposing forces.
Pisceans are emotional, sensitive, easily influenced, creating vulnerability. They are friendly,
sympathetic and changeable in their feelings and beliefs, often to please others. Pisceans are
warm, communicative and relate to a diverse array of people. Pisceans can favor professions
involving teaching, hospitals, medicine, promotion and water. A Pisces lagna, rising sign, is
good for children and relationships with children. Pisceans can win over their adversaries with a
benign and gentle way, though they must also watch for others taking advantage of them. They
dislike conflict and will often bend to dispel it. This arises from the water signs capacity for
preservation. Pisceans favor intuition over logic, sensitivity over analysis. They can be dreamy
and very imaginative. Piscean influence can bring a love for poetry and wisdom; as well as a
proclivity for meditation and reflection. They may be susceptible to nervous and emotional
disorders, and sensitive digestion. They may have susceptibility to sugar or alcohol addictions.
Their quest is for discrimination and integration. Though Venus becomes exalted in Pisces,
Venus is an unfavorable planet for Pisces rising.
Jupiter as Ruler of the Natural 12th house

Jupiter, Guru is the bestowed of grace, that which is most desired at the close
of life. He is associated with knowledge, especially higher or spiritual
knowledge, which can be realized through a strong 12th house, culminating in
knowledge of the Self, the guru within. He is the spiritual preceptor, whose
home is found in the 12th (i.e. the ashram or monastery). Jupiter is minister to
kings, granting final comfort. He illuminates Truth, that which is seen or given to be seen upon
the last breath of life. He is the Law and Lawgiver, upholding the final Law of subjective
existence, the return to Source. Jupiter is formless intelligence, invoking the eternal nature of
existence. He calls us to our highest and to do good works, the fruits of which are born through
the destiny of the 12th house, life after death. He is the container and bestowed of sacred
wisdom, tools for renunciation and liberation.
The most benefic of planets, Jupiter is very expansive and gracious, the great Teacher, desiring
to lead all to the paths of righteousness for the purpose of liberation, moksha. Jupiter represents
our inner vocation, which is our universal destiny of Enlightenment.
Saturn as the Indicator of the 12th House

In his role as significator for loss, Saturn becomes the karaka (i.e. that which produces or creates)
for the 12th house. Saturn is the great purifier, associated with Yama, the god of death. He is the
great denier for dissolution of the illusion of the material world. He is the initiator of spiritual
purification and illumination, abnegating worldly identifications and attachments. Saturn
deprives the mind of lifes usual joys. He creates obstacles, blocks initiatives and is the force
behind personal drive. He is the great contractor, dampening efforts and drawing inward to the
truth of the Self. Saturn casts a shadow over the created world and activates karma for
retribution, good or difficult. He cultivates persistence, asceticism, concentration and acalling for
surrender of the ego self.
Planets Placed in Pisces

Venus becomes exalted in Pisces and Mercury becomes debilitated in Pisces.
following are general indications for when a particular planet is posited in the sign of Pisces.
Sun in Pisces
Emotional, receptive, blessed with good friends, occupations related to water or water and land
items, interest in metaphysics.
Moon in Pisces
Very talented, devoted to wife and children, enjoys variety, changeable, romantic, enjoys
emotional music and poetry, possibility for intemperance, favors ability in medium ship and

prosperous and charitable; easily overcomes adversaries. May be fickle-hearted; is soft-spoken
and likely to pursue more than one occupation or change occupations.
