In Vedic astrology, the position of planets in the different houses of one’s horoscope can affect an individual’s life. Each house represents a certain aspect or segment of life. The position of the sun, moon, Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, Mercury and Venus planets in the 12 different houses of a horoscope has many consequences. It determines one’s behaviour traits, skills, status, financial position, health and relationships.
Planet In House Meaning
We now know that planets influence the lives of beings on earth. Every planet is associated with certain characteristics and is related to certain areas of our lives. This is mainly due to the gravitational pull and rays of the planets and earth. Planets affect our lives based on their positioning in the different houses at the time of our birth and during the transition period.
Planetary Traits
There are 2 types of planets: malefics and benefics, i.e., the good and the bad planets. The natural benefic planets are Jupiter, Venus, the positive version of Mercury and the full moon. The natural malefics are the Sun, Mars, Saturn, Rahu and Kethu(celestial bodies). Mercury can also be a malefic planet owing to its negative effects in certain positions. In fact, every planet, including the sun and the moon have positive and negative traits.
Position of different planets in the various houses can have different outcomes. Each of the houses also has positive, negative and neutral traits. For instance, if the planet Saturn is in the 7th house, it is said to hold good prospects for marriage and relationships. However, if Saturn is in the 5th house, it can cause complications in one’s education, procreation, and money matters. Thus planets positioned in different houses can have varying results for people with different sun signs.
