How to read north Indian style horoscope
In the course of
explaining details of astrology it is possible that I may explain few horoscopes
and it is useful to understand the basics of reading horoscope. Today we will
learn how to read horoscope drawn in north Indian way. Once you learn this, south
Indian way is not very difficult.
A
horoscope consists of houses and signs. You may know that there are total 12
signs and there are 12 houses as well. Every planet is posited in one of the 12
signs sign and in one of the 12 houses. The most important sign is ascending
sign or an ascendant. This is also called Lagna in Indian astrology.
In
north Indian style, houses in a horoscope are shown at fixed location. Below
diagram shows houses in a north Indian
horoscope. So 1 means first house, 2 means
second house and so on…
In your
horoscope you may see different numbers than above diagram and that is because we
have just put number to explain houses and in real horoscope ascendant sign is
written in first house. As the houses are fixed in north Indian style they are
assumed and not explicitly mentioned but signs are mentioned in each house. For
example if ascendant is Sagittarius then 9 will be written in first house and
if Lagna is Aries then above horoscope will remain as it is drawn. As there are
only 12 signs, 1 to 12, 1 will be written after 12. Below horoscope is a good example
and it is of Pisces ascendant.
You will
also see various planets written in various places. Every planet will be in a
particular sign and also in a particular house. To begin with you may either
count on only signs or just houses. Let’s take a look at below horoscope to
