The first house, also called the Ascendant or Lagna, defines your personality, physical appearance, and approach toward life. The second house governs wealth and family, while the third covers communication and relationships with siblings. The fourth house reflects your home and comfort, and the fifth house highlights creativity and children. Houses six through twelve provide insight into health, partnerships, transformation, fortune, career, income, and spiritual growth. Understanding these houses is the first step in decoding your chart. Next, it is crucial to examine planetary positions. The Sun represents your ego, vitality, and leadership qualities. The Moon governs your mind, emotions, and intuition. Mars brings energy, courage, and determination, while Jupiter guides knowledge, wisdom, and financial growth. Venus influences love, creativity, and artistic abilities, and Saturn teaches discipline, patience, and karmic lessons. Rahu and Ketu, the shadow planets, highlight life lessons, challenges, and spiritual growth. Each planet’s placement in a specific house adds layers of meaning, and their relationships with other planets form yogas, which indicate prosperity, obstacles, and significant life events.
