The The perso persona nali lity ty of ever every y huma human n bein being g evol evolve vess from from infa infanc ncy y to old old age age beginning from the birth. Astrology unravels the pattern of such an evolution through the 12 bhavas of the horoscope. horoscope. Starting from Lagna various various aspects of one!s one!s life unfold in each of the t"elve bhavas. #or e$ample Lagna signifies birth of the physical body and all its attributes li%e colour stature health honour etc . &t is usually said that everything abou aboutt a pers person on is sign signif ifie ied d by Lagn Lagna. a. The The seco second nd hous housee not not only only sign signif ifie iess food food nourish nourishmen mentt or the "ealth "ealth that support supportss gro"th gro"th and sustena sustenance nce of the body but also speech and family of the native. Although third bhava indicates physical pro"ess and courage etc connected to the bodily aspects it also signifies one!s younger co'borns. The fourth being (su%ha sthana! connected to general happiness of the native it also signifies the mother of the native and )ruha *aahana sou%ya and so on.
The "ord (+hava! means many things depending on the conte$tual use. &ts generally reco recogn gni, i,ed ed conn connot otat atio ions ns are are feel feelin ing g emot emotio ion n inna innate te prop propert erty y the the stat statee of bein being g inclinatio inclination n or disposition disposition of mind -uality -uality of e$istence e$istence etc . As such in Astrology Astrology it connot connotes es the various various states states of being being rather rather the differ different ent portfo portfolio lioss of our our life. life. &n a horo horosc scop ope e Lagn Lagnaa mar% mar%ss the the comme commenc ncem emen entt of one! one!ss life life and and succ succee eedi ding ng +hav +havas as se-uentially signify all other aspects of life one by one as they unfold in one!s lifetime. ot only that. /ach house possesses a lin% to all other houses in a particular area of life. Also many ne" physical realms manifest in each of the succeeding houses based on the preceding ones. 0etails of different portfolios of life allocated to each bhava are available in almost all the classics on astrology. +ut there are some differences differ ences in these allocations. Here,it is pertinent to point out that there is no information aai!a"!e in an# e$tant !iterature on the su"%e&t to e$p!ain the rationa!e "ehin' a!!ottin( a parti&u!ar )ara)at*a to a parti&u!ar "haa e$cept an appreciable effort made in this direction by Sri. . . +hasin in his boo% titled Astro Sutras” 3 pages 47 to 52 Sagar Publications1665 edition. /ven the e$planation offered by Sri. +hasin is incomplete as it d"ells upon only a specific significance of each bhava although there are multiple significations allotted to

each of the 12 +havas. o doubt similar research on the lines of the one by Sri. +hasin is re-uired as regards other significations as "ell. 8o"ever it is generally observed that the allotment follo"s a natural pattern of interlin% acceptable to our day'to'day pattern of living. Almost all these rulerships 3e$cept a fe" controversies controversies are time'teste time'tested d accepted accepted and "idely follo"ed follo"ed since since thousands thousands of years across across the globe . This article article of mine is an effort to underst understand and and sort out out one such e$ceptional controversy related to the bhavas ruled by our parents. "he #$ Bha%as and our Re&ationships !
As already hinted there is a lin% bet"een the various bhavas of a horoscope in each and every area of our life .&n so far as the domain of re!ationships is concerned the lin% is illustrated belo"9 The lagna bhava signifies the self. Second bhava signifies the family in "hich one is born and also the one he "ould ac-uire after gro"ing of age. Third bhava governs one!s co'borns especially the younger ones and father'in :la" 3 being 6 th to 7th .

The tenth signifies mother'in'la" 3being = th to7th and the husband of mother 3 being 7 th to = th . /leventh signifies neighbours and elder co' borns The t"elfth signifies paternal grand mother 3being = th to 6th . +ased on similar analogies other left left out relationships can also be deduced from the the various houses of the horoscope. But, as already stated ,out of the above , there exists a basic controversy regarding the bhavas bhavas ruled by our parents. &n parents. &n *edic Astrology = th house is ascribed to one!s mother in a vast ma>ority of Astrological classics . +ut so far as the house of father is concerned there is a "ide variation. ?hile some classics prefer 6 th +hava some others prescribe 1@ th as the house of father. father. /ven in "estern "estern Astrology there is a difference of opinion on the houses related to one!s parents.

Thus in "estern Astrology the follo"ing five different opinions are seen 9

And in *edic Astrology = th house is never considered e$clus e$clusive ively ly for father father althou although gh the house house is assigned assigned to both parents parents in a te$ts te$ts li%e 0aiva>na *allabha 3 uses the "ords (anitri ana%a! etc. "he Bha%a Bha% a 'or Mother ! +th or #,th -
As could be seen from the facts stated above there e$ists a good conformity in fi$ing the +hava ruled by one!s Dother. Although there is some deviation both the systems *edic and ?estern broadly agree in assigning = th 8ouse to the Dother. The basis for assigning this lordship is again the rulership of planet Doon in the natural Godiac. The planet Doon signifies Dother and it is the lord of ancer the = th house of the natural Godiac. The rulerships of planets are assigned based on their )eocentric placement in the cosmos and any discussion on its validity is beyond the scope of this article. 8ere it should be noted that = th house also signifies the living place and domestic environment. &n all parts of the globe undoubtedly it is the Dother "ho influences the child first and henc hence e moth mother er sign signifi ifies es dome domest stic icit ity y also also alth althou ough gh in late laterr year yearss chan change gess do occu occurr depending on the individual tendencies of the child and its parents. As the allotment of = th house house to mother mother and its related related consideration considerationss li%e domesticity domesticity etc abide by the basic empirical rules adopted adopted in Astrology Astrology it is acceptable acceptable to us. +ut the opinions listed at Sl.2 to Sl. 4 above are at variance "ith the ma>ority opinion "hich do merit a closer e$amination. The claim that = th house rules father is not falling (in line! "ith the general scheme of the empirical rules adopted in Astrology. That is Sun the planet signifying father is the ruler of 4 th house in natural Godiac and is not connected to = th house. 8ence it is not acceptable. 8o"ever there is some substance in the claim that the = th house rules the parent of the opposite se$ as that of the native. &t is an accept acceptabl ablee fact fact that that genera generally lly childr children en get more more attrac attracted ted to"ard to"ardss the parent parent of the opposite se$ possibly due to the natural affinity among the se$es. +ut it is al"ays the mother "ho "ields a special domestic influence influence on the child and the the father in most cases has much to do "ith influencing the choice of profession or calling” 3Astrology 9 &ts Technics and ethics by . AH. Libra . Dore over mother is the first family lin% to the

child and through the mother only the child starts %no"ing the very "orld around it. 8ence = th house ruling domesticity also should be the domain of Dother only. The contention that = th house is ruled by both the parents seems apparently acceptable because of the other associated significations of the house such as omforts 3su% 3su%ha ha 0ome 0omest stic icit ity y 3 home homeli line ness ss etc etc over over "hic "hich h both both the the pare parent ntss are certa certain inly ly th influential. As Sri 0ane Eudhyar "rites9 The mother may dominate the home 3= house but the father may form the Psychological home9 home9 the soul ”3The Astrological 8ouses 8ouses .+ut mother!s influence precedes precedes that of the father in the present present birth and hence hence "e must give e$tra credit credit to the the mother. #or #or the same reason reason the other other claim that that = th house rules the least influential parent is unacceptable . +esides it is an irrefutable truth that both parents influence the child in its formative years in one "ay or the other and neither of them could be "eighed less. As such in my opinion assigning = th house to the mother is -uite logical logical and convincing . ath ather er!! / th 0 1th or #,th Bh Bha% a%a a-
Fnce the bhava ruled by mother is fi$ed as the = th 1@th bhava being the 7 th from =th 3mother!s husband naturally becomes the house of father. This logic follo"ed by some scholars has an inherent fla" in it. &s it absolutely necessary that one!s mother!s husband should al"ays be one!s father The ans"er is an obvious (no!. 8ence 1@ th house for father father is unacceptable unacceptable on this premise. premise. There is another another reason also adduced adduced to assigning assigning th 1@ house to father. &n olden days sons invariably follo"ed father!s profession . Those days it used to be a family tradition tradition of follo"ing a particular particular profession. +ut in modern times this is lo longer applicable. The availability of multiple avenues in modern society has changed the age'old tradition of many a family and sons treading in the footsteps of fathers is no longer universally applicable although in some isolated families the old tradit tradition ion is still still contin continued ued.. Thus Thus assign assigning ing 1@ th hous housee to fathe fatherr in toda today! y!ss "orld "orld is unacceptable for it is not universal in its application. o" let us e$amine the ne$t option of 4 th house as the bhava ruled ruled by father. The planet Sun ruling the 4 th house of the natural ,odiac is ta%en as the Cara%a for father and Pitrus and hence some assign 4 th house itself to father. +ut 4 thhouse proper is "idely considered as the house of children by a vast ma>ority of the practitioners of the Science . 4th house is also regarded as the house signifying one!s poorva poorva punya. According to to vedic lore "e get either good or bad children based on our poorva punya only . &f punya is more "e get children "orthy of the name and if our sins are more "e get such children "ho "ould ma%e us suffer and reap our karmaphala through karmaphala through them. 8o"ever there surely e$ists th a lin% bet"een lagna as the self 4 house as his child and 6 th house 3 being the 4 th to 4th as his father . Possibly due to this lin% only the custom of naming children after the names of one!s parents ; grand parents is still prevailing in our countryside. 8ence considering 4 th house as the house of children is more apt.
Page 7 of 7
Then the 6 th house is the final option . Prof. C.S. Crishnamurthy the founder of (CP System! of Astrology "hile discussing the significations of 6 th +hava in his boo% (The fundamentals of Astrology! "rites thus 9 Hindus Hindus attribute the 9 th house to father because the 9th sign of the Zodiac hanus is ruled by by !uru , the preceptor and spiritual spiritual teacher. "n ancient times, the father was was invariably the the spiritual preceptor preceptor or !uru of the children children to whom he did initiate initiate #Brahma $padesham% $padesham% and transmit transmit his siddhis siddhis or psychic psychic powers. th st th &ounting the 9 as the ' , we find that the ( therefrom indicates the native. )ome persons advocate the * th house and the '+ th house for father. "t is incorrect. lways take the 9th hous housee for for fath father er-. -. This This argu argume ment nt in my opin opinio ion n is tota totall lly y irre irrefu futa tabl blee and and th thoroughly convincing. Also some of the other significations of 6 house such as +hagya 3luc% 0harma etc are are inter'connected to the role of one!s one!s father and Pitrus. According to 8indu Shastras our present birth in a particular family lineage is based on the %armic results that operated operated at the end moments of our previous life.. Some factors li%e our unfulfilled aspirations in that life our eligibility to get them fulfilled in this life or other"ise other"ise etc are said to create an ambient ambient suitable suitable for the same in the present life life as a result of "hich "e ta%e birth to a particular parents . This in other "ords is called as luc% or +hagya. &n fact our very life is under the control of our prarabda. 6th house signif signifies ies the influe influence nce of this prarabd prarabda. a. Thus Thus 6 th house is rightly called as (0harma Pithru +hagya sthana!. )on&usion !
&t is evident from the foregoing discussion that = th house is the house of Dother and 6th house is the house of father. Although 4 th and 1@ th houses do have some lin%s to the parents in general they cannot be considered for either father or mother . +oth 4 th and 1@ th houses have other stronger significations i.e. Putra and Carma Sthanas respectively.
