In our journey through the astrological chart, we have acted. We have built a Self (1st), a Career (10th), a Marriage (7th), and a Home (4th). We have performed our Karma (10th House). Now, we come to the final, critical question: What do we get for it all? What is the fruit of all our […]
Tenth House: Career, Status, and Public Life
What will I be known for? This is not a simple question about what you do. It’s a profound, human quest for who you are. When all is said and done, what will your legacy be? What actions will define you? What “kingdom” will you rule? In the divine architecture of your Vedic Astrology chart, […]
Ninth House: Fortune, Father, and Higher Learning
We have all met them: the “lucky” person. They are in the right place at the right time. Opportunities seem to “find” them. They meet the right mentor, get the “lucky break,” and seem to move through life with a divine wind at their back. We have also met the opposite: the person who, despite […]
Eighth House: Transformation, Longevity, and Occult
In the 12-room mansion of your life, there is one room that is hidden. It’s in the basement, behind a locked door, and it contains the home’s furnace, the breaker box, the hidden plumbing, and the family safe. Most people are afraid to go down there. Welcome to the Eighth House, the most feared, misunderstood, […]
Seventh House: Marriage, Partnership, and Business
In all of life, we are taught to build our “self.” From the moment we are born (the 1st House), we develop a personality, a body, and an identity. Our entire journey seems to be about “I.” But the greatest, most profound, and most transformative journey of all is when “I” becomes “We.” This is […]
Sixth House: Enemies, Disease, and Service
In our astrological journey, we’ve explored the Self (1st), our Resources (2nd), our Will (3rd), our Peace (4th), and our creative Joy (5th). These are the great pillars and blessings of life. Now, we must face an unavoidable truth: Life is not just joy; it is also struggle. We face conflict, we get sick, we […]
Fifth House: Children, Creativity, and Intelligence
In our life’s journey, we have built a Self (1st House), gathered Resources (2nd), applied Effort (3rd), and found our inner Peace (4th). We are a complete, secure, and functioning human being. What is the very next human impulse? It is the desire to create. This is the divine spark of the Fifth House. It […]
Fourth House: Home, Mother, and Inner Peace
In our human quest, what are we all really searching for? We chase a career (10th House), seek wealth (2nd House), and build partnerships (7th House). But why? In the end, we do these things in pursuit of a single, simple, and profound feeling: happiness. A sense of peace. A place to call home. In […]
Third House: Courage, Siblings, and Communication
In our journey through the 12 houses vedic astrology, we have established our Self (the 1st House) and secured our Sustenance (the 2nd House). We have a body, and we have the resources to feed it. Now what? We must act. We must reach out, explore, and engage with the world. This is the divine […]
Second House: Wealth, Family, and Speech
After we are born into this world, after the “self” and “body” of the 1st House are established, what do we experience next? First, we experience our family. Second, we require sustenance (food) to survive. Third, we learn to use our speech to interact with that family. This, in a nutshell, is the profound, interconnected […]
