Planets in Houses — Vedic Astrology Guide

Understanding Planet Placements in Vedic Astrology

In Vedic astrology (Jyotish Shastra), the birth chart (Kundli) is divided into 12 houses (Bhavas), each governing a specific area of life. The nine planets (Navagraha) — Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu, and Ketu — are placed in these houses based on their exact position at the moment of your birth.

Each planet-in-house combination produces unique results. Benefic planets like Jupiter and Venus generally enhance the house they occupy, while malefic planets like Saturn, Rahu, and Ketu may create challenges that ultimately lead to growth and spiritual evolution. The final interpretation depends on the planet's dignity (exaltation, own sign, debilitation), aspects from other planets, conjunctions, and the Nakshatra (lunar mansion) the planet occupies.
