It’s possible that you love reading your horoscope or are obsessed with memes that perfectly match your sun sign, but you might feel overwhelmed by your birth chart. It’s understandable if you feel comfortable using an app that lists your moon sign or rising sign, but looking at the full “circle chart” picture seems too complex. However, it’s worth understanding your chart’s many layers, given how much it can reveal about your personality, aspirations, and perspective. Each natal chart is multilayered and unique.

The 12 houses of the zodiac in a natal chart offer exciting insights. Knowing your sun sign placement can explain your personality traits, and your tenth house sign can guide your life, career, and relationship goals.

Your Birth chart ‘Rashi Chart”

Your birth chart is a snapshot of the sky’s position at the time of your birth from the exact location where you were born on Earth. It includes the sun, moon, and planets and shows how they were aligned in the 12 houses of the zodiac. Each house represents a different aspect of your life such as relationships, career, and personal growth. Understanding your birth chart can provide insight into your unique personality traits and life experiences.

When studying an astrology birth chart, certain aspects are given importance, including the Sun sign, Moon sign, and rising sign. It’s also important to look at the position of each planet in the twelve houses and the twelve zodiac signs, as well as the relationship between planets, whether harmonious or rebellious. Additionally, it’s essential to identify which planets are stronger or weaker in the birth chart and their positions.

The 12 Astrological Houses in Rashi Chart

The 12 houses in astrology are representative of the earth’s rotation around its axis over a period of 24 hours.

As the earth rotates, the sun and planets appear to be moving through the houses in a clockwise direction. At sunrise, they rise in the east, which is also known as the ascendant or the first house. At midday, they appear at the top of the chart, and at sunset, they set in the west, which is the right-hand side of the chart. During the night, they spend time at the bottom of the chart until the next sunrise.

Think of it as a customized star map that goes beyond just mapping the stars. The position of the luminaries and planets in your house affects how they manifest themselves, as each house signifies a specific aspect of life. 

The astrological birth chart is divided into twelve slices, with each slice representing a house. The first house is where your ascendant or rising sign (the sign that was ascending on the eastern horizon at the time of your birth) falls on the left-hand side of the chart. Moving counterclockwise from the first house, you can note your second house, third house, fourth house, and so on. Each of these houses is ruled by one of the 12 zodiac signs, and your planetary placements such as your sun sign, moon sign, Mercury sign, and others reside within a particular house.

In astrology charts, some people may have multiple planetary placements in a specific sign and house, while others may have their placements scattered around. It is essential to pay attention to the themes associated with both the sign and house if you have clusters of placements in a particular sign and house. For example, if you have three planets or luminaries in Virgo in the second house of income, how you earn your livelihood will be a crucial focus. You are likely to have a Virgoan way of making a living, which means that you are focused on self-improvement, health, service, communication, and attention to detail.

What Each of the 12 Houses in Astrology Mean

The 12 houses in astrology are also known as different “sectors” or “zones” of your natal chart. Sometimes, they are described in detail, such as the “third house of communication.” Whether you want to understand your natal chart better or your monthly horoscope, it’s useful to know which areas of life each house represents. Below is a brief overview of each house.

There are several other charts in Vedic Astrology apart from the main Kunadli as per Vedic Astrology, which are called Divisional Charts. These charts provide us with the precise positions of the planets. In order to perform a detailed analysis of a horoscope, we need to examine the divisional charts. These charts serve two purposes. Firstly, we study them to determine the strength of a planet by observing its placement in various divisions. It is considered strong if a planet is placed in its own sign, its mooltrikona sign, or its exaltation sign in most divisions. Conversely, if it is placed in its sign of debilitation in most divisions, it is considered weak. It should be noted that if a planet is weak in the natal chart, occupying benefic, exaltation, or own sign in the divisions can or cannot improve its position.
