Vedic Astrology || Part 1: How to Read a Chart (Houses, Signs & Planets)

0:04 [Music] we are going to learn the basics of vedic astrology in samskrutam known as jyotisha i am hoping by the end of this video the audience will be able to interpret a chart basically based on the signs houses and planets so let's begin now if you haven't already subscribed please do so by hitting the lotus icon on the bottom right of the screen for more videos on indian philosophy psychology sanskrit and vedic astrology now after inputting your birth information your birth time your birth place and your birthday into a reliable website right it's going to calculate a birth chart now krs right kapil in the krs

0:51 channel i like when he says that your birth chart is when you take a snapshot of the sky at the exact moment you were born so if someone were to take a snapshot of the sky at the exact moment you were born that is exactly where the planets are in the certain constellations that are there right so the planets will be in a certain constellation and in a certain house that's exactly how it will be dispersed in your chart at the exact moment when you're born if you're able to take a snapshot of it so it's pretty it's pretty intelligent saying something like that in the vedic chart there will always be 12 houses okay the houses are always going to be fixed now when you move into a neighborhood right there are a bunch of houses right and

1:36 when people move out of the neighborhood the houses are still there right typically speaking when people move out of the neighborhood they don't pick up the house and then take it away right the house stays but different people move into the house and leave the house right so people don't pick up the houses the houses are fixed you'll know that you know if you grew up in a certain home during your childhood right and then later on when you move and you move somewhere else you come back and you see that home again people are going to be living in it but that house is still there right so houses are fixed so when looking at a chart here this will be the first house right here this will be the second house this will

2:23 be the third house the fourth fifth sixth seventh eighth ninth tenth eleventh and twelfth this will always be like this okay now you may ask why did you just count the houses when the numbers are right there these numbers don't represent the house numbers these numbers right here represent the number that symbolizes or denotes right the sign the zodiac sign so we'll go over this one means aries or mesha two means taurus or shabba right three is gemini mithuna so when you're trying to look for a house

3:09 don't look at any of these numbers it has nothing to do with the numbers okay the numbers denote or signify the sign the zodiac sign okay the houses remain fixed one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve it will always be like that okay and this will always be the first house known as the ascendant okay the ascendant is what the constellation that was rising in the eastern horizon okay so the ascendant will always be here and this is the descendant okay so fourth house and tenth house so houses have specific categories here okay so the first house will represent the body general disposition the lifespan right

3:58 the general personality right second house will represent immediate family finances speech right fourth house will represent the mother the home tenth house will represent the career right public image public life seventh house will represent the spouse the partner okay so what's happening here is certain houses are in certain areas and these certain houses they discuss certain topics okay each of the houses will discuss different topics and many of these topics that are being discussed are mentioned in earlier scriptures or earlier shastra the earlier scriptures such as the parashara shastra the paladipika sarawali

4:48 many vedic vedic astrological texts right they discuss what the houses mean what the signs mean what the planets mean so this is not just coming out of nowhere right this is not just modern astrologers and modern people talking about this right this is something that has been there for a long time since probably 500 bce or earlier right so this will always be the houses here okay next let's understand the signs okay now as i said these numbers represent the signs the first one aries right mesha aries happens to be occupying the first house so when you look at the first house you ask what sign occupies the first house you

5:36 look at the number and you see one one means aries okay so let's go through this one is aries meisha two is taurus right three is gemini mithuna four is cancer karka five is leo simha six is virgo kanya seven is libra tula eight is scorpio bruce chika nine is sagittarius dhanu ten is capricorn makara eleven is aquarius kumbha and twelve is pisces meena right these numbers will always be associated with these signs no

6:23 matter what so when you see 12 you know pisces meena when you see six you know virgo kanya right you will it will always be like this so whenever you see these numbers here understand that they will be the sign placement okay the sign the house will always remain the same so in this case it happens to go the houses happen to go along with the signs of the signs happen it'll go along with the houses the first house is occupied by aries maysha the seventh house is occupied by libra thula the tenth house is occupied by capricorn makkara and there's a reason for this these are the original meanings here right so the sixth house for virgo will

7:09 always well typically have to do with daily routine right things that you do on a daily basis you know consistently et cetera capricorn tends to be very work and status oriented right so the tenth house is has to do with capricorn eighth house scorpio you know hidden secrets the occult mysticism so it will be like that ninth house sagittarius higher philosophy wisdom religion these are the original kind of significators of the houses so it will stay like that okay now we know that the houses will always stay where they are okay but the signs they change okay the constellations they will change so the first house is not always going to be occupied by aries now if you want to say a sagittarius

7:56 ascendant right remember sagittarius dhanu is nine so what you'll do here is you will put nine here then 10 11 12 1 2 3 4 five six seven eight right so now this individual right this individual short is a sagittarius ascendant so you'll put nine here the first house is occupied by sagittarius the seventh house is occupied by gemini the tenth house is occupied by virgo and the fourth house is occupied by pisces right you know because the numbers signify the certain science so the houses will be static right the signs will be dynamic they'll change now again

8:43 in shastra and in the scriptures the signs have certain meanings right virgo right will be critical analytical right detail oriented okay pisces more imaginative right then you'll see scorpio more mysterious right kind of keeping things to themselves protective of their emotions in a certain way can syrian very sentimental emotional also very protective it'll be a water sign just like scorpio water sign sagittarius fun-loving adventurous wise you know also here fire sign um etc the signs of certain personalities certain characteristics is also mentioned in the shastra in the scriptures so you'll have to refer to

9:28 these scriptures to understand the real meanings of these signs as well as the houses okay now there's nine planetary deities devas we call them deities because the planets actually have personalities okay so jupiter has a personality bruh right he's constantly doing rituals you know he's constantly doing his dharma he's keeping the order of the universe etc the son surya has the personality mangala fierce mars has a personality etc so let's go over the nine planets first we have the sun surya second we have the moon chandra third we have mars mangala

10:14 fourth we have mercury we have jupiter guru sixth we have venus shukra seventh we have saturn shani eight we have rahu which is rahu the north node of the moon and ninth we have ketu which is ketu the south node of the moon these are the nine planetary deities right and they will be placed or dispersed throughout the chart so i have dispersed the planets in different areas in this particular case so this individual was born at a particular time right and this at that particular time this is where the planets were in the chart now let's learn to use the language here okay what is the ascendant the ascendant is

11:01 sagittarius nine dhanu right what is the descendant what is the seventh house the seventh house is gemini mithuna right now how do we say this in terms of planets right so where is mercury mercury is in the first house in sagittarius right where is the moon moon is in the 10th house in virgo or you can say the sign first moon is in virgo in the tenth house right where is mars mars is in the ninth house in leo right this is the type of language that we're going to use so the houses stay static but the signs and the planets move okay so imagine that you're in a neighborhood again that the houses are static they

11:46 remain in the neighborhood they don't move the people are like planets right they move in and they move out when people move in right they bring a certain sort of energy or an aura to them that energy or aura could represent the sign right so when mars moves in it could represent a scorpio or an aries type of energy we'll learn that certain planets rule certain signs okay and certain signs are ruled by certain planets so so let's imagine that analogy for that for that time you know that the houses remain static and the planets enter and leave and when the planets enter and leave they bring this sort of energetic sign-like nature to them okay so again mercury is in the first house and sagittarius sun is in the second house in capricorn

12:32 right then gradually we'll start to understand and put it together the sign the house and the planet right okay moon is in the tenth house in virgo okay moon represents the emotional nature of the person the tenth house represents the career in the public image and it's ruled by virgo okay so the career public image has to do something with detail-oriented critical um you know analytical nature right in the moon the person's mind is going to be detailed analytical critical but it's going to be directed towards their career so their emotions are very dependent upon their career how their career is or their they'll see the world in terms of career emotionally right put it together very basically and then

13:18 you go into it in a certain detailed way right so you do that step by step here and then you'll know okay saturday's in the seventh house this person could have a delayed marriage right because saturn represents delay but often guarantees people things and many many different interpretations you can't look at one placement you have to look at the whole chart the aspects the degrees and every single house has its own chart so for now all i want us to do is to understand three fundamental components when coming across a chart right trying to identify the houses the signs and the planets when putting these three together you can slowly start to use the language that astrologers use to understand these particular charts okay so what is the ascendant what is the

14:04 descendant what is the fourth house what is the fifth house right knowing where they are and what sign occupies that house right what sign occupies the tenth house boom virgo is in the tenth house right okay what planet occupies what sign and occupies what house moon occupies virgo the sign and occupies the tenth house and on and on and trying to understand this slowly by slowly please do subscribe by hitting the lotus icon on the bottom right of the screen for more videos on these topics
