Astrological Houses and its significance in Vedic Astrology

Vedic Astrology gets its name because of its origination. It is originated from Vedas; that’s why we called them Vedic Astrology or Vedic Jyotish. Sun, star, moon, and all the planets in our solar system are crucial aspects of Astrology. With these planets, there are houses, which also hold equal importance. A learned astrologer uses the combinations of these planets and houses to predict someone’s life problems and their astrological solutions. 

 There are a total of 12 houses, and each house indicates some crucial aspects of human life. Through this blog, I’ll try to explain the relevance of each house from human life in the easiest way. Let’s talk about these houses.

 Each horoscope is divided into 12 houses, and each house signifies a different aspect of an individual’s life. These 12 houses are:

An astrologer can tell you about your childhood, physical appearance, health, communication skills, and every detail about you through this house. The first house is related to Aries
