Effects of Planets in Different Houses

Planets in Different Houses

Scope. This article explains when each graha (planet) occupies each of the twelve bhāvas (houses) from the lagna (ascendant).

How to read these results. The house-wise meanings must be judged along with the planet’s strength/weakness, aspects, lordships, yogas, and the operating daśā—they are not to be applied in isolation.

Glossary (quick starter for beginners)

• Lagna — Ascendant; the first house reference point in a birth chart.
• Bhāva — House; one of twelve life domains (self, wealth, siblings, home, children, enemies, spouse, longevity, dharma, profession, gains, loss).
• Daśā — Planetary period that times events.
• Kuja-doṣa — A Mars-related blemish impacting marriage when Mars afflicts certain marriage-signifying places (e.g., 1/4/7/8/12).
• Bālariṣṭa — Early-life affliction; e.g., Moon in 6/8/12 among other conditions can indicate vulnerability in infancy
