The rulers of Jyotish houses (as well as the houses themselves) can be favorable and unfavorable for the owner of the horoscope. It depends on the nature of the houses that are run by a particular planet. For different ascending signs, these combinations will change.

Rulers can also be called the owners of houses, these are synonymous constructions.

Jyotish house lords and basic rules

Rulers of the trikona (1st, 5th, 9th houses) are always auspicious and bring nice results.

The rulers of the kendras (1st, 4th, 7th, 10th houses) can be both favorable and unfavorable, it depends on the nature of the planets themselves (according to D. Frawley).

The Moon, Mercury, Jupiter and Venus (this is a group of benefic planets), being the owners of kendras, lose their good opportunities and become negative.

The Sun, Mars, Saturn (this is a group of malefic planets), being the masters of Kendras, on the contrary, acquire good opportunities and become positive.

First addition: 1st house applies to both trines and kendras. On the one hand, if the owner of the 1st house is a benefic planet (Moon, Mercury, Jupiter and Venus), then - according to the above rule - it should harm the owner of the horoscope. On the other hand, being the lord of the trikona, this planet should be benefic. This is also confirmed by D. Frawley, who writes that the owner of the lagna is usually auspicious, even if the negative house is also under his control.

The second addition: if a planet owns one kendra and one trine, it is unequivocally benefic, regardless of whether it is a malefic or a benefactor. Such a planet is called.

On the principles of dividing houses into different groups can be read in the article "".

The rulers of the other six houses are considered inauspicious (evil). The degree of their unfavorability can be different - both weak and strong. In books on Vedic astrology (in particular, by D. Frawley and D. Braha) various nuances of owning these houses are listed, but if you do not go into details, then you should not expect great positive from the owners of these houses.

Since a detailed account of the mulatrikone is beyond the scope of this topic, I will limit myself to general information. Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn have two signs. In each pair, one sign is a mulatrikona. For Mars, this is the sign of Aries, for Mercury, the sign of Virgo, for Jupiter, the sign of Sagittarius, for Venus, the sign of Libra, for Saturn, the sign of Aquarius.

If the planet owns two houses, then it will demonstrate to a greater extent the features of its mulatrikona and, accordingly, the house coinciding with it.

You can read about what signs the planets own, as well as how to count at home, in the article "".

Jyotish house lords and ascending signs

Although general rules house possessions apply to all ascending signs, in reality these rules give a variety of combinations, including contradictory ones. Let's try to apply these principles to each of the twelve ascending signs in order to understand the logic of reasoning and clarify points of contention.

Since Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, we will consider it in as much detail as possible. The remaining signs will be analyzed according to the same algorithm as Aries, but the wording will be more concise in order to avoid unnecessary repetition.

Lagna in Aries

If in any horoscope the lagna (rising sign, ascendant, 1st house) is in Aries, then the Sun will be the lord of the 5th house. The 5th house is a trine, so the Sun is an auspicious planet for Aries.

The Moon for the rising Aries is the lord of the 4th house. 4th house is a kendra. The lords of the kendras can be both auspicious and malefic. The moon is a benefic planet. As the mistress of the Kendra, the Moon loses its favorable opportunities and becomes a pest to Aries.

Mars for Aries ascendant is the lord of the 1st and 8th houses. Favorable as the owner of the 1st house. Everything else in this case secondary.

The fact that Mars is the lord of the 8th house is not so important, because the 1st house makes Mars favorable for Aries. Although, in some matters, Mars will also show itself as the lord of the 8th house, because the possession of the 8th house has not gone away.

Mercury for Aries ascendant is the lord of the 3rd and 6th houses. These are not trines or kendras, so Mercury is unfavorable for Aries.

Jupiter for Aries ascendant is the lord of the 9th and 12th houses. The mulatrikona of Jupiter is Sagittarius, that is, the 9th house, therefore Jupiter is more favorable than vice versa.

Venus for Aries ascendant is the lord of the 2nd and 7th houses. They are not trine or kendra, so Venus is unfavorable for Aries.

Saturn for Aries ascendant is the lord of the 10th and 11th houses. Mulatrikona Saturn is Aquarius, that is, the 11th house, so Saturn is rather unfavorable than vice versa.

The fact that at the same time Saturn is the owner of the Kendra and, as a malefic planet, loses its malevolent qualities, is irrelevant in this case, because Saturn will still manifest itself more as the owner of the 11th house than as the owner of the 10th (due to mulatrikons).

Rulers of Jyotish houses and important nuances

The above data on the auspiciousness-unfavorability of the planets for different ascending signs is only a first superficial glance. As always in astrology, different nuances are possible here.

For example, D. Frawley writes that the Moon is the only planet that has no enemies among the planets (other planets have enemies). And this thesis suggests that for all the planets and ascending signs they rule, the Moon carries either positive or neutral tendencies. And the logic that was used above gives the opposite results and shows that the Moon is unfavorable for some lagnas.

There are other nuances that can also lead to controversial conclusions regarding rulers. different houses. You need to use them not so much carefully as seriously and carefully, trying to take into account as much as possible more details. And then the seeming contradictions will become an occasion to see many undercurrents and deep treasures in the horoscope.

The influence of planets or Grahas in Vedic astrology has great importance. Their relationship to each other at the time of birth influences personality traits and life events. Here I will try to describe the general qualities of the planets. Planetary relationships affect the number of children you can have, career pursuits, happiness, depression, fame, and more. Before delving into the properties of each of the planets, it is important to note that the planetary influence is classified as beneficial or harmful, or positive and negative, respectively.

The rules for determining the aspect of a planet are complex and there are many exceptions to the rules. To present the planetary aspect as beneficial and harmful, it is enough to note:

Benefic planets: Moon, Venus, Jupiter, Mercury

Detrimental planets: Sun, Mars, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu

The distinction is further complicated by the fact that planets found in houses 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 9 and 10 of the horoscope are considered benefic (beneficiaries), while planets located in houses 6, 8 and 12 are considered inauspicious (malefic). ), while houses 3 and 11 are neutral.

This knowledge of Jyotish can then be used to further evaluate the influence of individual planets.

Let's start our acquaintance with the planets of Vedic Astrology with general characteristics, which will create a primary understanding and understanding of interpretations.

General characteristics of the planets

Moon (Chandra):

Keywords: mind, emotions, memory, women, well-being

The moon affects our appearance, as well as our emotions and our mental health. Those with good moons tend to be happy, outgoing, and attractive. Conversely, inauspicious moons will be accompanied by anxiety and depression.

Sun (Surya):

Keywords: I, ego, vitality, power, man, government

The sun reigns over our physical health and life force. It affects our feeling dignity and how we carry ourselves through the world. A well-placed Sun makes people energetic with strong desire be useful. A poorly placed Sun in a birth chart usually gives a very large, inflated ego and a desire to be the center of attention.

Mercury (Buddha):

Keywords: speech, career, intelligence, education, humor

The rapid movement of Mercury gives intelligence, great dexterity and strong communication skills. Working in the negative leads to opposite characteristics, such as slower mental development, poor communication style, or a harsh way of expressing thoughts.

Mars (Mangal):

Keywords: brothers and sisters, valor, sport, surgery, conflict, fire

Mars is the planet of action, and athletes and those with a well-placed Mars will enjoy stamina and good health. An afflicted Mars will lead to an angry nature of such a person, a tendency to disputes and fisticuffs.

Jupiter (Guru):

Key words: knowledge, children, marriage, state, religion, law.

Jupiter is considered by many to be the "Great Lucky One". It represents organization, wealth and religious conviction. Strong Jupiter means success, good education, financial security, good luck.

Those who have weak spots Jupiter, will not be materialistic, possibly impoverished, will shun religious traditions and shy away from their parents' way of life.

Venus (Shukra):

Keywords: love, desire, marriage, luxury, beauty, art

Ruler of love, Venus also represents all that is beautiful in the world. Women, art, entertainment and pleasure in general fall into this area. Strong marriages, personal realization and gratitude are common to those who have a well-placed Venus, while Venus poorly placed in natal chart, will lead to complex relationships and an inability to treat others and oneself with respect and love.

Saturn (Shani):

Keywords: sadness, long life, death, self-discipline, knowledge

The planet Saturn symbolizes a strong work ethic, service orientation, and grief. Power, privilege and fame are given to the lucky ones with a positive Saturn, while those with a malefic Saturn will be rebellious, prone to poverty and may engage in illegal activities.

Rahu (Moon - North Node):

Key words: desires, maternal relationship, apathy, lackluster attitude.

Dragon Head, Rahu, North lunar node, governs international affairs, travel, technology, aging, morality, and the underground economy. Rahu sits at the point where the Moon's orbit intersects the Sun's orbit.

On the whole its influence is considered malefic and easily made positive by the influence of other planets, the natives are known for their excellence in art and science. These free thinkers can be socially inept and in some cases violent.

Ketu (Moon - South Node):

Keywords: spirituality, interpersonal relationships, invisible wisdom

The Tail of the Dragon, Ketu, the south lunar node, represents consciousness, spirituality, electricity and magnetism. Like its partner, Rahu, Ketu is symbolic at the point where the Moon's orbit intersects the Sun's orbit. Strong Ketu is characteristic of spiritual people.

It is often noted that some of the commonly known planets are missing from the list. This is due to the fact that the planets were discovered after the Vedic priests shared their teachings, but I am more inclined to believe that the teaching that was brought to India was not fully given to the priests, they were only given basic knowledge astrology, which have survived to this day.

Let us analyze what are the favorable aspects and unfavorable aspects of the planets. The main purpose of the horoscope is prediction, forecast, perspective.

How to interpret the favorable and unfavorable aspects of the planets

It is useful not to forget the above saying of the ancients, that "the stars do not force, but only advise." This does not mean that a favorable aspect is necessarily realized in material or other benefits, if it is not prevented, “sit back”. A favorable aspect only indicates a good combination of circumstances when you should show your best qualities in order to achieve your desired goal.

In addition, they take into account the "friendship" and "enmity" of the planets themselves among themselves. A "bad" planet that has a favorable connection with a "good" planet has a milder effect on a person. Sometimes its "malicious" influence is not even manifested.

The value of the "halves" of the aspects is also taken into account (for example, 45 ° is half of 90 °). They act in the same direction as their “whole” values, but are twice as weak as them, since they are “halves”. Therefore, 30° is harmonious in its effect, like 60°, and 45° is inharmonious, like 90°.

When determining the quality of aspects on a ruler, it should be remembered that the magnitudes of aspects alternate in quality: unfavorable - favorable - unfavorable, etc. Moreover, the strength of the warning value increases with the increase in the degrees of the aspect, and this cannot be ignored when there is a “bright streak” of life, that is, it seems that a person is “lucky”.

Favorable aspects and unfavorable aspects of the planets. For example, under the influence of “turnover”, a person has accumulated small work matters that need to be resolved, but he constantly puts them off “for tomorrow”. When compiling the horoscope of this person for the planet, which is associated with the solution of such “petty matters”, the aspect of 60 ° falls out (the sextile - - seems to be still taking time in its meaning, or it is not excluded that these matters can be resolved by themselves. More on the ruler there is an aspect of 90 ° (squaring - - unfavorable, which indicates an aggravation of contradictions.

This is a warning "call" of impending bad consequences. But then comes the aspect of 120 ° (trine - - is also favorable, it reassures that there is nothing terrible yet.

However, the aspect following it can break the “bright hopes” and bring a lot of trouble both in the service and in personal interests, since any big troubles (and now only they should be expected) always injure the person. Let us give more examples of the interpretation of the aspects of the planets, which in turn affect the quality of the aspects.

For example, aspect 150° is a warning. It shows the point of the horoscope, the arrival time of which will make it possible for certain events to be realized (if there is an incentive for this). For example, redness on the skin may go away, or it may develop further and give a boil. But the aspect warns of the need to take precautions.

When interpreting, they also take into account the qualities of the Houses and planets interconnected by the astrological function of the aspect (they are described in the relevant sections of the book). We choose the value that best suits the situation and the particular person.

So, it is unrealistic to predict a family conflict and complications in relations with her children for a girl who is not yet married and does not have children herself. In this case, another interpretation is possible: for example, the expectation of family trouble because of a brother or sister.

AT Indian astrology, Jyotish uses nine planets solar system. Each of them describes a certain range of human activity. By their nature, the planets are favorable and unfavorable. Venus and Jupiter are benefics. Saturn, Mars, Rahu, Ketu and the Sun are inauspicious. The Moon and Mercury are neutral in nature and can be inauspicious or auspicious depending on their position in the birth chart. The growing moon is favorable, the waning one is the opposite. Mercury, which is in the same sign with any planet, takes on its qualities and becomes favorable or unfavorable depending on the neighborhood. The planets are divided into male, female and neutral. Male planets - the Sun, Mars, Jupiter - express activity and the masculine principle. Women's - the Moon and Venus - are soft and feminine. Neutral planets - Mercury, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu can manifest themselves as both male and female in accordance with the gender of the zodiac sign in which they are located. All planets (with the exception of Rahu and Ketu) govern a certain day of the week.

Every house has a master planet. The condition of the house depends on the position of the owner of the house.

1st house is called Lagna and the lord of the 1st house is Lagnesha.

Kendras - 1, 4, 7, 10- corner houses. Any planet, getting into these houses, intensifies and will be manifested in the character of a person. The strongest kendra is 10, the weakest is 1. From the possession of kendras, malefic planets improve, auspicious planets from the possession of kendras slightly deteriorate. The influence of planets in Kendras is very significant - they are clearly reflected in the human psyche. If a person does not have planets in Kendras, then usually, even being talented, he is not very noticed in society.

Tricons - 1, 5, 9- houses of Dharma, the most best houses. Any connection with them is only good for a person. The 9th house is the strongest trine. From the possession of tricons, any planet improves. Trine planets also improve a lot (even debilitated planets, especially in the 9th house, but the 9th house itself suffers from this), and the houses they own prosper.

Upachai - 3, 6, 10, 11- houses of growth. Unfavorable planets in these houses increase, and over time, their manifestation in a person's life becomes more and more favorable. Any unfavorable planet, getting into these houses, gives good results. It is believed that one of the indicators of a person's good karma is that the malefic planets in his chart are in the Upachai houses. Benefic planets in Upachai houses act neutrally. The 11th house is the strongest of the upachai and the 3rd house is the weakest. From the possession of an upachai house, any planet receives negative energy.

Dusthans - 6, 8, 12. Any planet that owns dusthana brings with it negative energy and causes disturbances in the areas of those houses where it is located. Planets that are in dustkhans go bad, and the houses they own go bad. In the 6th house, benefic planets are aggravated and inauspicious planets are improved (since the 6th house is also the house of upachai), but both give diseases.

2nd house- neutral, and the planets that are there give neutral results.

On the other hand, 2nd and 7th houses- Maraka-sthanas, or houses of death, these houses and their owners are the cause of death.

3rd and 8th houses- houses of vitality. If they are strong, then a person can survive the most serious illnesses, the most difficult situations.

House qualities

corner houses

Kendras - corner houses

1st, 4th, 7th and 10th houses, counting from the ascendant - kendras, the most important houses of the card. They are located in the corners of the rectangular scheme of the horoscope.

Planets in angular houses are strong and actively seek to manifest their potential. Corner houses are similar in character to cardinal signs: they are strong, energetic and decisive, they endow a person with purposefulness and strong will.

The tenth house is the strongest of the corners. The second place in strength is occupied by the seventh house, the third by the fourth, and the last by the first. Planets in the tenth house dominate the chart: they surpass even the ascendant in strength. They leave a powerful imprint on the life and character of a person.

Malefic planets in angular houses cause problems and can cause a lot of harm. Benefic planets in angular houses, on the contrary, send down good luck and protection, all sorts of graces and gifts of fate. Corner houses are called the houses of Lakshmi - the goddess of happiness. They denote the well-being of the physical body (first house), the home in which one lives (fourth house), marriage (seventh house) and career (tenth house). Corner houses are like columns on which the entire "building" of the horoscope rests. Being strong, they provide the whole map with a reliable support.

Subsequent houses

Panapari - subsequent houses

2nd, 5th, 8th and 11th houses are subsequent houses, panapari.

The planets are of moderate strength here. The following houses are close in meaning to fixed signs: they denote the accumulation of resources and the preservation of what has been accumulated.

The fifth house is the strongest of the following, the eleventh is the second in strength, the second is the third, the eighth is the last.

In general, subsequent houses are somehow related to income. The fifth house relates to income derived from speculation or gambling on the stock exchange, the eleventh to profit in general, the second to income from personal labor, and the eighth to inheritance. In addition, all these houses are associated with the mind and self-expression. The fifth house governs the mind, the second is associated with speech, the eighth bestows insights, and the eleventh denotes the transmission of ideas to other people and the world at large.

falling houses

Apoklima - falling houses

3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th houses are apoclima falling houses.

The planets here are weak, their action is manifested in an indefinite or hidden way. Falling houses are like mutable signs. They indicate heightened mental sensitivity and adaptability, may indicate high level intelligence, but at the same time give instability and uncertainty, as well as a tendency to mental and nervous diseases. Pronounced falling houses are favorable for spiritual development.

The strongest of them is the ninth house, the third is the second in strength, the sixth is the third, and the twelfth is the last. The 6th and 12th houses are associated with illness and misfortune. 9 and 12 to a greater extent orient a person to the spiritual life. The 3rd and 6th houses are associated with conflict and struggle.

It is easier to achieve success in life when there are several planets in the corner houses. Studying the horoscopes of famous and influential people who have left a bright mark in any of the areas of life, we will almost certainly find several strong angular planets in each of them. That is why it is customary in northern India to draw an astrological chart so that the corner houses - this extremely important factor in the horoscope - occupy a prominent position. A person in whose horoscope there are no favorable angular planets will hardly achieve fame and power. And a chart with negative planets in the corners is like a boat with a hole in the bottom. On the other hand, even a single beneficent planet well located in one of the corners (for example, Jupiter) is able to neutralize many harmful factors.

trigonal houses

Tricons - trigonal houses

1st, 5th and 9th houses are tricones, trigonal houses. They form an equilateral triangle from the ascendant. Getting into one of these houses, the planet strengthens: trigonal houses are only slightly weaker than angular ones. A favorable factor is considered to be the presence of Jupiter in one of the trigonal houses, since in this case Jupiter forms favorable aspects with the other two houses of this group - trines. good indicator the Moon is also considered to be in one of these houses. In general, beneficent planets in trigonal houses work well, while malefics, on the contrary, nullify positive influence these houses and cause many problems.

In this regard, the ninth house is very favorable: although it belongs to the number of houses that fall, it is the best of the trigonal houses. The fifth house also benefits from belonging to this group: due to this, it turns out to be the most favorable of the subsequent houses. However, planets in trigonal houses do not have such a strong influence on the external life of a person as angular planets. They play a more important role in the formation of character and in the spiritual life. Rulers of trigonal houses acquire great virtues in the chart. Trigonal houses are called the houses of Vishnu - the god of dharma. They contribute to the fulfillment of dharma: the ninth house is associated with the collective dharma of a person, the fifth - with the creative dharma, and the first - with the personal.

Taking into account all these principles that determine the strength of the houses, it turns out that the planets manifest themselves best when they are located above the horizon, in the vicinity of the Midheaven, that is, in the 9th, 10th and 11th houses. These houses denote the influence of a person on the world around him in terms of values ​​​​that he adheres to (ninth house), in terms of actions (tenth house) and in terms of goals that he sets for himself (eleventh house). The 3rd, 4th and 5th houses opposite them symbolize our “I” in terms of vital energy (third house), emotional state(fourth house) and mental abilities(fifth house). Planets at the top of the chart generally dominate planets below the horizon.

Upachaya and Apachaya

3rd, 6th, 10th and 11th houses are called upachaya- "arriving" houses. The planets located in them gradually gain strength and manifest themselves in a person's life better and better as he gets older. Natural pests - Saturn and Mars - do not create any special problems in these houses: on the contrary, they give strength to overcome difficulties. However, the rulers of these houses (with the exception of the tenth) are usually unfavorable and can cause harm, since in this capacity they become too impulsive.

The tenth and eleventh houses are the best of the upachai, although the more important factor in interpreting the tenth house is that it belongs to the group of corner houses. Eleventh house - a good place for all planets. "Pests" are at their best here possible way and the beneficent planets are doing well too.

1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th and 8th houses are called apachaya- “decreasing” houses. The planets located in these houses lose their strength over time, and the "pests" here manifest themselves from a bad side. The worst of the Apaches is the eighth house, which in general, perhaps, should be considered the most unfavorable house of the chart.

Selection pack and apache- Another principle of grouping houses, which is used only in the Vedic system.
