The 12 Houses

The 1st house (Lagna/Ascendant) represents the self, physical body, personality, and overall life path. It's the most important house in Vedic astrology.

The 2nd house represents wealth, family, speech, food, and early education. It's known as Dhana Bhava (house of wealth) and Kutumba Bhava (house of family).

The 3rd house represents courage, siblings, communication, short travels, skills, and self-effort. It's an Upachaya house where malefics give good results.

The 4th house represents mother, home, property, vehicles, education, and inner peace. It's a Kendra house showing domestic happiness and emotional security.

The 5th house represents children, creativity, intelligence, romance, speculation, and past life merit (Purva Punya). It's a powerful Trikona house.

The 6th house represents enemies, diseases, debts, service, competition, and daily work. As both Dusthana and Upachaya, malefics here give victory over obstacles.
