The outer planets—Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto—are not usually utilized in<br />

traditional Vedic <strong>astrology</strong>. Vedic astrologers believe that <strong>the</strong> nodes of <strong>the</strong> moon<br />

reflect <strong>the</strong> energies of <strong>the</strong> trans-Saturnian planets adequately. Some modern Vedic<br />

astrologers utilize <strong>the</strong>se planets in <strong>the</strong>ir natal chart analysis. They believe <strong>the</strong> planets<br />

reflect one’s divine birthright and potential soul destiny. All of <strong>the</strong> grahas operate as<br />

cosmic relay stations for <strong>the</strong> transmission and reception of stellar wisdom.<br />

The Bhavas (Houses)<br />

The Vedic natal chart is divided into 12 houses called bhavas. These houses<br />

represent different fields of action or activity. The following are <strong>the</strong> karakas and significators<br />

for <strong>the</strong> 12 houses that are somewhat similar to those in Western <strong>astrology</strong>:<br />

First House/Thanu Bhava: Bodily appearance, character, early childhood,<br />

health and general vitality, personality, ego, strength, fame, and<br />

longevity. Dharma house (right action). Head or face. Karaka: Sun.<br />

Second House/Dhana Bhava: Money, family life, domestic harmony,<br />

food or diet, intellect, powers of speech and writing, jewelry, and dress.<br />

Artha house (wealth). Mouth, nose, and right eye. Karakas: Jupiter and<br />

Mercury.<br />

Third House/Sahaja Bhava: Bro<strong>the</strong>rs, younger siblings, fine arts (music,<br />

dance, and drama), courage and adventure, skill with hands, short journeys,<br />

inquisitive mind, ambition, and will. Karma house (desire).<br />

Fourth House/Matru Bhava: Mo<strong>the</strong>r, happiness and contentment, property<br />
