More > The celestial sphere is divided into 12 equal parts of 30 degrees each. Each of which represents a zodiac sign. There are 12 different signs. Wherever you are born on earth, there is a local horizon, the line where earth and the sky meet. The whole zodiac belt seems to ascend from eastern horizon and descend to the western horizon due to the daily rotation of earth around its own axis. At a particular place and time of birth, the exact point or the degree of the sign that is rising on the eastern side of the horizon is considered to be the starting point of the houses division, it is also the Ascendant. This is because Sun rises from the east and the rising of Sun means new beginning.
Now note that you can only see 6 houses at any location on the earth as rest of the houses are below the horizon. From the starting point on the eastern side, the 1st house is followed by the rest of the houses in anti-clockwise motion so you never get to see the 1st to 6th houses in the skies. The point which is exactly above your head right now is the starting point of the 10th house for someone born right at this moment at your location. The point that lies on the horizon on the west is from where the 7th house begins. 4th house begins from the point which is exactly opposite to the point of 10th house, so naturally it is not visible in the sky as it is below the horizon.
The 1st, 4th, 7th and 10th houses are the pillars upon which the strength of the horoscope depends. These are the four pillars of your horoscope, lying on the horizon and meridian plane. These are called Angular or Kendra houses. Each house governs some particular aspects of your life. The anti-clockwise motion of the houses also symbolizes your lifecycle, starting from the first house that represents birth and personality to the 12th house which stands for death and emancipation.
The placement of different planets in houses based on their movement in the sky at the time of birth tells which aspect of your life is being affected & how. These houses not only govern your life but also tell a lot about your friends, family and relatives.
The very basis of interpreting a horoscope is about understanding the connection between houses and the signs and how the planets influence this connection. The detailed overview of each house and the dimensions of your life covered by each one of them is covered in the subsequent pages.
Venus in first house makes you very attractive, gives you a high sexual urge, blesses you with sensuality & magnetism. You are liked by the opposite sex.

More >In the most basic terms, planetary conjunction occurs when two or more planets occupy the same house. But what happens when planets are conjunct in a house? They DEFINE your life in a nutshell. A conjunction can be benefic or malefic, depending upon several factors such as the nature of the planets involved, their relationship with each other, and the house/sign they are placed in. The strength of the planet is also taken into account, like whether the planet is combust, retrograde or direct.
There can be as many as 5 or 6 planets in the same house but such is a rare occurrence. These are in fact the most difficult horoscopes to interpret. Care must be taken in determining how the planets affect each other. There could be a Yoga or a planetary combination) forming due to the conjunction but if a malefic planet is operational in the same house, the Yoga may not fructify for the native. On the other hand, when multiple weak or malefic planets get together in a house, presence of a benefic could balance the situation. Nevertheless, its power would be low due to malefic influence so the horoscope can only be considered average.
Conjunction of multiple planets in one house indicates the focus area of your life - the house where most of the planets are placed. Nevertheless, there could be some misbalance in the personality of the native due to the strong pull of a single house. The lord of house where conjunction of planets takes place is also under the spotlight. If it is positioned well, it casts a benefic influence upon the native. It tends to make other planets strong too. However, if it is weakly posited or under malefic influence, it may only deem negative results and may worsen the situation.
Before we discuss the impact of various planetary combinations, take a look at the chart below.
The conjunction of planets in this chart takes place in the 11th house (governing income and expansion) so the focus of the native would be on expanding income.
Mercury being the lord of 5th house (education) would boost earnings from intellect and learning. And since it’s the 8th house lord too, it may give sudden gains but at the same time, health issues and hurdles in life may occur, more so because it is placed in an enemy sign.
Moon is the lord of 6th house (difficulties) and is placed in Sagittarius in the 11th, so the native will struggle, but will put in hard work and beat competition to shoot off income.
Sun, being the 7th lord in friendly sign will give earnings from partnerships and spouse.
Venus, which is 4th and 9th lord is the Yogakaraka for this horoscope, will give ample opportunities to earn well. It is placed with Moon and Sun, its natural enemies so it’s positive effect will slightly be lessened but still Venus is very benefic for this horoscope.
Astrology is relative. How a planet influences us is not just based on the house and sign it occupies but also the planets it is placed with. When a planet is sitting with another planet, their energies correlate. The outcome/influence is the result of their collective energy and relationship they share with each other - Friends, Enemies, or Neutra

Astrology remedies are a means to heal, not prevent every possible loss. Your karma manifests in this life so there is no running away from it. You also need to experience pain, learn from your mistakes and only then true healing begins. Letting go, charity, fasting, volunteering are few effective ways but all remedies should be done with a serious approach and sense of responsibility and not to be carried out as barter with God.
There are several ways and methods to perform remedies that align with Vedic astrology principles.
How Vedic Mantras work?: Mantras are sound vibrations grouped together & chanted to propitiate planets. By chanting Mantras, not only we pay respect to the corresponding planet but also become one with their energy. The Mantra gets activated by perfusing into that part of your body or the cells that it correlates with, which are ultimately made of the tatva corresponded to that planet. Mantra requires the use of the power of your Mana, meaning mind (Man + tra). It is a relatively safer form of remedy with little or no side effect. We can use Mantra and meditation to ward off negative energy that may be troubling us like an overly strong & malefic Rahu, Mars and Saturn. It may not be advisable to strengthen these planets using gemstone. Propitiation of planets in this case using meditation techniques is a better way of remedies.
Tantras are the rituals and actions performed in order to free oneself from the negative impact of planets. Tantras are actions performed for the enlightenment of the soul and in doing so, you need to use the power of your 'Tana', that is body.
Yantra refers to the devices, symbols or processes used to balance the mind and concentrate your energy on to the concepts that the Yantra represents. Yantras can have geometric patterns imprinted comprising of squares, circles and so on and these shapes represent some spiritual power or concept. Sri Yantra is one of the most common Yantra used which has geometrical patterns that represent the Universe, hinting towards the unanimity of the subject and object - of human and divine.
Through the dawn of history, gemstones have been thought to carry talismanic value. The Navagraha concept is specifically popular in Vedic astrology. According to this, each gemstone represents a certain planet and based on the strength or weakness of the planet in the horoscope, a gemstone is recommended to either strengthen or pacify the planet.
As Sun has the capability to fade away the darkness on earth; it can also evade the negativity in your horoscope if it is positively placed. Remedies for Sun are very important to get balance support from the Sun. Sun is the epitome of confidence and spirit, ambition and cheerfulness, wisdom and warmth, royalty and charisma. At the same time, it c

More >There are times when people just can’t identify with the attributes of their Sun or Moon sign. In fact, they may feel that they are an antithesis of their zodiac sign. You may also have observed it. Your Leo friend may not seek attention, may be because he or she has a Capricorn ascendant. Your Sagittarius friend is very possessive, may be because he or she has a Scorpio Ascendant. It is easy to understand why some people do not correspond to their Sun or Moon signs once you know about what is the rising sign or Ascendant in a horoscope.
Ascendant is the degree of the zodiac sign that was highest on the Easter horizon at the time and place of birth. When seen from Earth, the sky seems to move, so the entire zodiac can be observed in a span of 24 hours day which means the rising sign changes on the Eastern horizon every 2 hours because there are 12 zodiac signs. People tend to associate their physical, emotional and spiritual attributes more with rising sign at times.
Ascendant represents us in our purest and highest form; its like a lens of our personality through which people see us. It is the mask we wear to revel in the masquerade of life, to meet people. It embodies our natural reactions to things, objects, people and so on.
Don’t know your ascendant? You could sign up with Indastro to have your personalized birth chart ready. The sign that is located in the first house (which is also called the Ascendant) of your chart is called the rising sign or Ascendant. To determine the Ascendant, the exact time of birth is required since ascendants change every two hour.
You can get the astrological analysis and signification of 12 ascendants from the subsequent pages. The characteristics of the ascendant can differ a lot, depending upon the placement of the ruling planet and the other planets occupying the first house or aspecting it. A Sagittarius Ascendant, having Jupiter in Scorpio would be very different from a Sagittarius Ascendant having Jupiter in Aries.
Natives having Aries Ascendant or Mesha Lagna are strong and straightforward. Their actions are marked by a streak of spontaneity. To think before an act is not their cup of tea.

More >Saturn is the lord of karma, and the results of our past karma manifest most perceptibly during Sade Sati. It is the 7 ½ years period of Saturn, which starts as when transit Saturn occupies the house just preceding natal Moon. Saturn spends around 2.5 years in each signs so Shani Sade Sati starts from the time Saturn enters into the 12th house from natal Moon to when it leaves the 2nd house from natal Moon. Sade Sati is feared by many due to the ill effects associated with the period. Saturn is a malefic planet so native has to struggle during Sade Sati but there is nothing to be scared of. Saturn works much like a guardian, grabbing us by the collar and making us see the reality. It punishes us for our mistakes, much like our parents, but not out of contempt but to teach us crucial life lessons.
Saturn is poison and Moon is milk, when transit Saturn is close to natal Moon, it is bound to contaminate the native’s life to some extent, depending upon the sign where it is placed, relationship with the lord and overall strength of Saturn. The closer Saturn is to the natal Moon, the severe would be the results. Naturally, the second phase of Shani Sade Sati is most feared as natal Moon is conjunct Saturn during this time. However, the severity of results depends upon which sign Saturn is placed in. The results of Sade Sati can also be somewhat positive at times.
Saturn takes around 30 years to move through the whole zodiac, spending 2.5 years in each sign. Even if Saturn transits to a positive house and sign, you might still experience mental distress and confusion to some extent. This is because Saturn poisons what Moon represents, mind and emotions essentially. Your thought process suffers during this period and you may have to go through many emotional crises too. Throughout one’s life, native usually experiences Sade Sati twice as Saturn completes one round of the zodiac in 30 years.
Certain signs tend to be more vulnerable when it comes to the impact of Sade Sati. Saturn usually brings mixed results for natives having Taurus, Libra, Capricorn and Aquarius as their Moon sign. Saturn is exalted in Libra while Aquarius and Capricorn are its own signs. Taurus is ruled by Venus, which shares a friendly relationship with Saturn. Sade Sati turns out particularly bad for Cancer natives, ruled by Moon and also Leo as Saturn and Sun are inimical to each other. The Sade Sati of a Cancer Moon sign native would begin when Saturn enters Gemini, so the first phase would be average.
However, once it enters Cancer Moon sign, the unpleasant 2nd phase of 2.5 years would begin for Cancer natives. And when it moves into the third phase in Leo, things would still be worse as it is again an enemy sign. Similarly, for a Leo native, the first phase of Sade Sati would begin when Saturn moves into Cancer, a bad time most likely. The second phase when it enters into Leo itself would be equally bad but the third phase would be somewhat okay as Virgo is ruled by Mercury, which Saturn considers as a friend. Jupiter is neutral to Saturn so if Saturn moves into a Moon sign ruled by Jupiter, results would be average. The actual results depend upon several other factors too such as which Mahadasa and antardasa of planets the native is going through and where do rest of the planets sit in the horoscope.
Sade Sati can be positive for the native if Saturn is the Yogakaraka planet in the chart. The closer transit Saturn is to natal Moon degree, the gravest can be the influence. Not just natal Moon Nakshatra, Saturn gives malefic results in or close to ascendant (rising sign) Nakshatra as well.
The results of Shani Sade Sati for Virgo usually remain average for Virgo natives. Virgo is ruled by Mercury, which Saturn considers as a friend. Here, airy Saturn is in a friendly earthy sign so mostly, life would be stable but expect a few shaky moments too. Sade Sati for Virgo natives begins when transit Saturn moves into Leo, just preceding th
