The Twelve Bhavas - The Classrooms of Life
We are all encoded by celestial energies of the time of our birth, setting our chart in motion, our tasks that align us with our souls agreement we made in the ethers. In Jyotish the name for the houses is Bhava, that which is our worldly existence. These cosmic spaces are the classrooms of life where our lessons are laid out for us in rooms one through twelve.
Your unique universal grid, captured by you with your first breath, creating a snapshot of time and chosen lessons in the animation of heavens energetically imprinted within you.
Each individual house has specific qualities and energies determined by their natural indications. Where they become distinctive and personally you is by examining your individual chart, your energy grid. Discovering who are the rulers of your natal houses (aka the landlords) , then to look at the subsequent planet located within the different houses, the planetary relationship and then the nakshatra filling these planets with its consciousness.
The blend of House/ Ruler/Planet/Nakshatra creates the interplay of your unique melody, your consciousness and your external experience. By learning the tune of your instrument, you can learn to create anything.
Another key of the chart is to know that is it separated into into two distinct halves, the first sixth houses are our inner world of life and then the seventh through the twelfth are how we consciously integrate the outer world manifestation.
This is only an introduction of the houses of birth chart to start you off. If you would like to learn more about vedic astrology, the next enrolment is in the fall of 2021. (make a clickable link)
