online match making

A very important place is assigned in Hindu astrology to the part played by the Moon in the fixing of propitious times. The Moon rules the mind and all our psychological inhibitions and his position in the election chart is t0 be particularly dignified. Moreover, whenever an election is to be made, it should always bear a sympathetic connection with the birth chart. Should the radical horoscope indicate several afflictions, no Muhurtha can ensure real success. In fact, the strength of the birth chart may even prevent the person from taking advantage of the propitious period. Or at best, the chances of failure may be somewhat minimised. There is, therefore, an important factor to be considered, viz., whether the birth chart is really so powerfully afflicted as to offset the chances of success shown in the election chart. When people do not know the birth chart, the best thing would be to ascertain their name constellation (see Appendix at the end of the book) and study the transit influences operating at the period in question. online match making is whether or not in the radical chart is strong, Hindu astrology always takes cognizance of the fact that contact is maintained between the Jamma Tara (the constellational position of the Moon at the time of one's birth) and if the birth time is not known, with the Nama Tara (name-constellation), and the election chart.

Whilst it is necessary to bear in mind that the election chart is likely to be affected by the benefic or malefic nature of the directions operating at the moment in the birth chart and the inherent strength of the horoscope, it is not necessary to go into it in detail. A number of combinations is given in ancient works to so strengthen the election chart as to make it fruitful independent of the birth influences. These details will be discussed in their appropriate places.

online match making is done before we take up electional astrology proper, a short description of the Panchanga or the Hindu almanac is very necessary, as the important items constituting a Panchanga have an intimate bearing on the fixing of auspicious times. The Panchanga consists of five limbs or accessories, viz: Tithi (lunar day), Vara (weekday), Nakshatra (constellation). Yoga (a luni-solar day), and Karana (half a lunar day). The reader will have to be familiar with these technicalities though by far the most important ones are the lunar day, constellation and weekday. The five limbs of the Panchanga are supposed to represent the five sources of ethereal energy of which some are visible and others invisible and which when properly secured are said to conduce the health, wealth and prosperity of mankind.

Lagna Ashtama for Horoscope Matching

For Horoscope matching, lagna ashtama should be avoided.

In selecting a time for marriage, the Lagna ascending should not happen to be the 8th from the Janma Lagna of the bride and the bridegroom. Suppose the would be husband and wife are born in Aquarius and Capricorn respectively. At the time of marriage, the ascending Lagna should be a sign other than Virgo or Leo as these two happen to be the 8th from the bridegroom and bride's Janma Lagnas respectively.

Surya Sankramana

The 2nd great evil is Surya Sankramana or the solar ingress into different zodiacal signs. When the Sun is about to leave one sign and enter another there seem to occur certain disturbances in the organisation of the solar forces and such times are
not recommended for any good work. On the contrary, they are held to be propitious for meditation, initiation into secret mantras and performance of certain religious rites which are held to purify not only the bodily electrical discharges but also the mental currents. Sixteen ghatis (6 hours 24 minutes) both before and after the entry of the Sun
into a new sign should be rejected for all new works.

Panchanga Suddhi for Muhurtha

A Panchanga consists of tithi, vara, nakshatra. yoga and karana. All these must be
auspicious. In regard to lunar days, the 4th, 6th, 8th, 12th and 14th, full
and new moon days should be avoided. In regard to vara, Thursday and
Friday are held to be suitable for all works. Tuesday, is to be generally
avoided except when it happens to be the 10th, 12th or 16th day of the
child's birth when the child's Namakarana (baptising or giving name)
may be performed. Of the several Nakshatras, Bharani and Krittika
should be avoided for all auspicious works as these two are said to be
presided over by the god of death (Yama) and the god of fire (Agni)
respectively. In urgent cases if the Lagna could be fortified, the dosha
due to nakshatra may get neutralised. The last parts of Aslesha,
Jyeshta and Revati should also be avoided. Coming to the Yoga (vide
page 12) the 6th (Atiganda). 9th (Soola). 10th (Ganda), 17th (Vyatipata)
and 27th (Vydhruti) have deleterious effects upon events which are
started or commenced under them. - The Karana chosen must be
appropriate to the election in view. Thus Bava is auspicious for starting
works of permanent importance while Thaithula is propitious for
marriage. Bhadra is unfit for any good work but is eminently suitable for
violent and cruel deeds. For getting initiation into kshudra mantras
Sakuni Havana is propitious.

Therefore, Panchanga Suddhi means a good lunar day, a beneficial
weekday, an auspicious constellation, a good yoga and a fertilising
Karana.

Indian Astrology - An Introduction

Origin

The science of Astrology has great antiquity behind it. Vedas which are said to be the oldest religious literature available has references to this science. Astrology has great importance attached to it as "Vedanga Jyothisha". That means "Jyothisha or Astrology" is one of the limbs of the "Vedas" (1500 B.C.). Hindus were the original masters who had the thorough knowledge of astronomy and many rituals and religious rites were related to the position of planets and their motions. It was expected of all those who wanted to understand Vedas, to be well versed with the knowledge of astronomy and astrology. The earliest astronomical works such as Surya Siddanta and Vedanga Jyothisha are more then five thousand years old. Long before Kepler, Copernicus, Brahe, Galilio and other galaxy of astronomers were born, the Hindu sages had already gained much knowledge on the stellar or planetary universe.
Vedas
Vedas are the oldest writings of the World's religious literature and in them one could see the mention of Vedanga Jyothisha. In other words there are several verses devoted to explain the astronomical knowledge in Rig-Veda and Atharvana Veda.
Yugas
The early Siddantas are Hindu astronomical works which give us the period of Mahayuga which comprises of Kritha, Thretha, Dwapara and Kali Yugas. It has been estimated that Mahayuga comprises of 43,20,000 (Four Million, Three hundred and twenty thousand years) and the
age of our solar system is 1972,949,099 (One thousand nine hundred seventy two million and nine hundred and forty-nine thousand ninety nine years) which will be approximately 2,000 million years. This figure has been tallied with the figures given by Sir James Joans based on geological and astronomical study. It is beyond our imagination how the Hindu Sages could know these
facts without the scientific instruments available to the modern scientists.
Jyothisha
Jyothisha has been divided into three main branches of study. 1. Siddanta, 2. Samhita and 3. Hora.
Siddantas are those which devote to astronomical study of celestial bodies. Samhitas deal with mundane astrology, earth quakes, floods, volcanic eruptions, rainfall, weather conditions economic conditions and effects of sunspots. The next and the very important branch is the Phalitha Jyothisha branch which concentrates on the system of predictions. And this branch has six sub-divisions, namely, Jathaka, Gola, Prasna, Nimitta, Muhurta and Ganitha.

In Palitha Jyothisha (predictive system) we have three important schools. They are Parashari, Jaimini and Thajaka.
Universally applicable school of predictive system is that of Parashari.

Nadi System
Apart from these schools of planetary interpretations, we have what we can call as Nadi system which gives pen pictures of life and destiny patterns of people born at 12,24,48 seconds intervals. These have been written on palm leaves. Only very few experts can read and understand these, but the results and predictions are found to be amazingly accurate. Nadi, Guru, Shukra,
Chandra, Budha, Suka, Narada, Markandeya, Satya Nadis are found in the oriental manuscript's library at Madras (India).

Zodiac and Planets
The Hindu Predictive zodiac consists of 27 constellations, in 12 lunar mansions. The movements of two luminaries Sun and Moon, five major planets (Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Venus and Mercury) and the two nodal points of the Moon i.e., Rahu and Ketu are considered and their positions are marked. The extra Saturnine planets like Pluto, Neptune and Uranus are not recognised by the Hindus.
Above all, Moon is taken as very important planet for predictions though it is satellite of earth. The Moon, at the time of birth is found in a particular position or in a particular star and it will be taken as the star of the person born. This star will be used for finding out the major and sub-periods of the person in his life. The transitory influences of planets in relation to the natal Moon are also studied.

Comparison with Western Astrology
When we compare the Hindu Astrology with that of the Western Astrology there are certain general principles found in both the systems. Ownership of houses, exaltation, debilitation, characteristics of planets and 12 aspects of human life are same. In certain other aspects they differ from each other. For example the square opposition aspects are bad and trine and sextile aspects are always good in Western Astrology. Where as in the Hindu system good and bad aspects are not based on the types of aspects, but by the nature of the planets involved in the aspects. Ashtakavarga system, Shadvarga charts, Shadbala assessment and Yogavali are not found in the Western System.

The Hindu Science of Astrology also gives certain remedial measures to overcome mental, moral and physical sufferings by means of medicinal roots, mantras and yoga practices and Gemstones. Though Hindu Astrology deals with all the aspects of human life indicating materialistic success and failures, it is deeply rooted in philosophy. The Karmic theory which is akin to the Newton's third law of motion (i.e., action and reaction are equal and opposite), is also applied in the Hindu Astrology. That is why Markandeya Rishi gives this verse for Astrologers to write in the beginning of the horoscope which they cast.

Vishtikarana. The ruling constellation must belong to the Sadharana
group and the Moon must be aspected by a retrograde planet.
Treatment for Ascites. - Tuesday is the best. The constellation must be
Bharani, Krittika, Aridra, Aslesha, Visakha, Makha or Jyeshta.
Taking Purgative. - Purgatives may be taken on the 2nd, 6th or 12th
lunar day. Any weekday (except Tuesday) may be chosen provided the
ruling constellation be Punarvasu, Revati, Swati or Aridra. Afternoon
must be avoided.
Taking Enemas. - Select either Saturday or Tuesday and avoid malefic
planets in the 7th and 8th houses.
Dental Treatment. - The Ugra yoga above referred to is quite suitable
for dental treatment also. See that the Moon is not afflicted and that
Chandrashtama is also avoided.
Taking Infections. - Injections may be taken on Saturday or Monday.
Aries, Taurus. Cancer and Virgo are auspicious. The 8th house must be
unoccupied. See that Mercury'is free from affliction; as otherwise the
pain wilt be severe and nervous weakness may set in.
Surgical Operations. - When possible, operate in the period of the
intrease of the Moon. Never operate at the exact time of the Full Moon
as the bodily fluids are running highest then. Let not the Moon at the
time of the operation be in the same sign as at birth. No Operation
should be done on the part of the body ruled by the sign through which
the Moon is transiting at that time but wait a day or more until the Moon
passes into the next sign below, and especially, if the Moon be in
conjunction, or evil aspect to malefics at the time.

The Lords of the Houses

In vedic astrology, each of the twelve houses of the horoscope is considered to be the same as one of the twelve signs. In other words, one sign perone house. That is the vedic system. In western astrology, there are a number of different house systems employed and most of them are not the equal house system that vedic astrologers use. Most of them do not exactly align the houses of the chart with the signs but rather, the houses start with anywhere within a sign and may end within that same sign or somewhere in the middle of the next sign. In this way the signs in the house are not aligned, but are two independent wheels discussed separately.

But in standard vedic astrology, whatever sign is rising no matter what the rising degree is, that entire sign is considered as the first house, and that the next sign in the zodiac is the second house and so on. In this way there is an exact correlation between sign and house in vedic astrology. All of the twelve signs of the zodiac are ruled by one of the seven planets.

Sun and moon each lord over one sign only. Namely Leo and Cancer.Whereas the other planets each have two signs for which they are the lord. This is always the case. The signs never have different lords. In a horoscope, as mentioned, one sign is considered the rising sign and the other signs follow in their natural order and take control over the other eleven houses of the horoscope. Whatever planet lords over each of the signs becomes the lord of the house that that sign controls.

For example, if Taurus is the rising sign, then Venus is the lord of the first house since Venus is the lord of Taurus. The second house would then be Gemini and therefore mercury would then be called The Lord of the Second.' Then Cancer would be in third house and therefore the moon would be called The Lord of the Third.' There are a number of words for Lord in Sanskrit and one of them is 'Pati'. This is the most commonly used word when referring to the lords of the houses in Sanskrit. So in our example, Shukra would be the Thanupati. Which means 'lord of the Thanusthana.' Which means the house of the body or the first house.

In this way the various lords are referred to by the main name that the house is called to in sanskrit.

But the most important thing is to know the natural order of the twelve signs very fluently and to therefore know quickly which planets rule each of the twelve houses for each twelve possible rising signs. Thus if a particular sign is rising, the student astrologer must be able to quickly ascertain in their mind which planet ill be the lord of the ninth house, which planet will be the planet of the fourth house, hich planet is the lord of the eleventh house, etc.

This process of instantly knowing the lords of the houses in very important and fundamental vedic astrology. If a very solid, graphical, picture is somehow learned, remembered and lodged in the mind of the twelve houses in their natural order. And the distances between each. Then this process becomes very easy. This requires that the astrologer have the kind of mind which can quickly determine distances between two points within a circle.

For example, the distance between Capricorn and Taurus is five signs. Because you start counting from the first one. In this case Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, that's five. What is the distance between Virgo and Aquarius? Six houses. In this way one must be able to quickly know immediately the number of houses one sign is away from another sign. With experience and practice this becomes easy.

Now let us begin to examine the importance and use of the lords in vedic astrology.The first house rules the body amongst other things. All things about the body can be determined from the first house and its lord, aspects upon the first house and the lord of the first house, as well as planets that reside in the first house, etc. In this chapter we are concerned with the lords primarily, so let us focus on that.

Each lord must be somewhere in the horoscope, so the lord of the first house or sign must be in one of the twelve signs. According to which sign he is in, that also determines the house. Let's take the example of cancer rising. The moon is the lord of Cancer. By seeing which sign the moon is in, we then instantly know what house the moon is in as well.

Let us imagine that the Moon is in Gemini, on a I particular horoscope which has Cancer rising. Since Gemini 4s one sign before Cancer, this would put the lord of the first in the twelfth house. Because Cancer is rising, moon is the lord, Gemini is therefore the twelfth house and therefore we say The Lord of the first is in the twelfth'.

Primarily, two things happen when a lord goes to any house. Of these two things, by far the most important to know and understand and be able to read is that the house shapes the lord that comes to stay in it. For example, the eighth house is a seriously bad house. Of all the houses in the horoscope, the eighth has the most power to cause bad effects.

Therefore, when the lord of the first house goes to the eighth house in a horoscope, then serious physical harm comes to the body. We never like to see the lord of the first house in the eighth house. Because it means serious difficulty will come to that person during their lifetime.

So the principle is the house that a lord goes to greatly effects the affairs of life ruled by the houses that that lord concerned rules.

Again for example, let us say that Taurus is rising. Therefore Venus is lord of the first house as well as the sixth house. If Venus is found in the ninth house then the highly benefic affects of the ninth house flow in a great way towards the first and sixth houses because the ninth house is holding their lord, passing it's benefic effects onto the first lord who therefore passes them on to this own houses. Therefore, to have the lord |pf the first in the ninth house which is the most fortunate house in the horoscope, is a very positive lordship placement.

If the lord of the first is in the sixth house, since the sixth house is one of the most detrimental houses because it passes the effects of death, diseases and enemies onto the planets it controls, therefore these more negative aspects of life will be placed onto the first lord who will then pass them along to the first house, and the other house he rules (if he be one of the planets other than the Sun and Moon which rule only one house each).

Now let us briefly examine the main areas of life that each of the twelve houses controls and how this might affect a particular lord, namely the lord of the first.

If the lord of the first is placed in the first house, we could say that the body becomes the focus of the body. In other words, the person focuses much on their own life, their own self their body during this lifetime.

If the lord of the first is placed in the second (use then the body, first lord, shall be greatly influenced by and focused upon the things the second house rules such as family and wealth. Thus people who have lord of the first in the second, are found often to be entangled with and coming from a strong family background and they are concerned with accumulating wealth in some way.

If the lord of the first is placed in the third house, then the body is found to be connected with one's younger brothers and sisters, the acquisition of college degrees, spiritual initiations and other things that the third house rules.

Since the fourth house rules mother, home, heart and happiness, if the lord of the first is placed there then we find that the person will be greatly concerned with these affairs during their life They will likely spend a lot of time at home, since the first lord rules the body and the fourth house rules home, we find their body at hom rather than on the road or at work etc.

At this point, let us take a small digression into greater complexity and note that since the fourth house is tenth from the seventh house, it therefore stands for the career of the spouse. So if the lord of the first is in the fourth, then we will find likely in the life that the person's body will have some connection with the career of the spouse. This means that
the person might work for their spouse or work with their spouse and since the fourth also rules the home of the person, we may expect that they work for the spouse or"with the spouse in their own home in perhaps a home-based business.

So the point here is to see that not only does each house rule something when counted from the Ascendant, but it also rules other things depending on its distance from other houses. In this way the placements of the lords have their first level meanings and then second, third, fourth and deeper and deeper meanings depending upon the astrologers ability to read the complexity of the house relationships. If the lord of the first is placed in the fifth house, then the concemspf children, creativity, romance and what one does to make others happy becomes the focus of their bodily activities to a large degree, especially during periods ruled by the lord of the first house in the Vimshottari dashas.

To understand when things will take place we need to look to the dashas. It is worth mentioning and always remembering that effects take place at certain times in the life according to dashas and transits.

If the lord of the first is placed in the sixth house, then the effects of deaths, diseases and enemies overwhelm the person at points in their life. Obviously that is not a good placement for the lord of the first.

If the lord of the first is placed in the seventh house, then the person is heavily focused on their partner, their spouse, etc. during their life.

If the lord of the first is placed in the eighth house, as already mentioned, unforeseen difficulties and serious problems arise at life and overwhelm the lord of the first, or in other words, the person and their body in general.

If the lord of the first is placed in the ninth house phen there is an overall fortunate protective cover on the person's body throughout their lifetime; because the ninth house stands for fortune and all general good things that simply come from the environment.

If the lord of the first is placed in the tenth house, then the person's body or the life in general in other words, is heavily focused upon the attainment of career, status, position, and success are the domain of the tenth house.

Next, the eleventh house controls desires, friends oldest siblings, and gains. If the lord of the first is placed in the eleventh house, then the person is heavily focused upon the achievement ofi desires and certain gainful things in life.

If the lord of the first is placed in the twelfth house, since this house rules charity, donations, and losses, the person's body will therefore be used up in these ways throughout their life. In other words, they may donate themselves to causes. They may live for some other purpose other than their own life. Or in general there just may be a lot of loss in their life.

These are brief examples of how the placement of the first lord in the twelve houses affects the body or the life in general, since the first house stands for the body and the life in an overall general way. An astrologer must take each of the twelve lords and examine which house they reside in and predict the effects on each accordingly.

More examples: If the lord of the second is in the ninth, then fortune will come to the wealth since the ninth is fortune and the second is wealth. If the lord of the third is in the second, then the younger siblings will have a connection f :with wealth either by giving or taking..

Since the second is twelfth to the third, it indicates loss to the younger siblings, and since that lord would then reside in the second house of the horoscope, it is likely that that person will take the wealth of the person of whose horoscope it is. Or could it be that the younger siblings lose their wealth and donate it to the second house of the concerned person? This is the kind of difficult question that astrologers concern themselves with in their ongoing years of study. The answer of course lies in the nature of each planet concerned since any of the planets could be the lord of the third house depending on the rising sign.

If the lord of the fourth house is in the twelth house, since the twelfth house is ninth from fourth house, and the fourth house rules mother then we can understand that the mother will be strong in her religion. Because the fourth lord has gone to the ninth house from itself. That is similar to having lord of the first in the ninth for yourself. It indicates that the person in general tend to have strong faith, belief spirituality or religion. So if the fourth lord is in the twelfth, that means that the mother of the person has her own strong religion and it causes a great impact on the life of the individual whose chart we are examining.

If the lord of the ninth is in the eighth, generally this means that there is loss to the ninth house, since the eighth is twelfth from the ninth house. Since the ninth house stands for father, it often means that the father goes away. That there is loss of the father early in life. And indeed we see this lordship placement in many persons who were raised without a father present.

The lord of the sixth house is placed in the fifth house then there is a draining away of the negative things in life such as death, diseases and enemies. This is good. We do not want the sixth lord to be strong or prominent. We want him to be weakened because he carries many negative properties. The fifth house is twelfth to the sixth house and represents the loss of the sixth house. This is one reason the fifth house is such a good house because it stands for the ending or termination of deaths, diseases and enemies.

If the seventh lord is placed in the ninth house, then since the seventh rules spouse and the ninth one's religion, one may find their spouse in their religion. Or their spouse will have an effect upon their religion. Similarly, theii religion will have an effect upon their spouse.

When the seventh lord is placed in the tenth house, we find that the person works with their spouse because the tenth is work or career and the seventh is spouse. If the ninth lord is placed in the fourth, then fortune, ninth, comes upon their home, heart, etc. the things ruled by the fourth house.

If the tenth lord is placed in the eighth house, , since the tenth rules career and the eighth rules troubles, we find troubles come within the career efforts of the person or because of the career of the person. Most people who have the tenth lord in the eighth house have great difficulty establishing a career. Or when they do establish one, there is some sudden or serious troubles that come and greatly harm their progress in their career.

Because the eleventh lord has much to do with gains and achievement of one's desires, its placement in the various twelve houses tells us a lot about how well this person will achieve the desires in life and where their desires lay.

For example, if the eleventh lord is in the ninth house, then fortune flows to the achievement of their desires. If the eleventh lord is in the eighth house, then great trouble comes in the achievement of their desires. In this way one of the twelve houses exerts itself upon the eleventh lord and the things he controls. The twelfth lord rules loss and as we said, the house in which the lord resides greatly effects that lord and that lord's houses. So if the twelfth is in the ninth house then religion, spirituality, dharma and god above, have a great affect upon the losses in this person's life. What could this mean? It means that losses will come to this person because of their faith, spirituality, or acts of god. There will tend to be losses based upon the person's religion or by situations, which are good and righteous but still cause 'loss'.

We can relate an example from a person's life of the effects of the lord of the twelfth placed in the ninth: In the horoscope the ninth and twelfth lords is Jupiter and Jupiter is placed in the ninth house in Sagittarius. So he has lord of the twelfth in the ninth and lord of the ninth in the ninth. He began Jupiter major period around ten years of age.

Around the age of ten or eleven he was one day taken to the local Church where the priest told him and all his many brothers and sisters that the church and his mother had reached an understanding whereby his father would for sometime be placed in a veterans home for the disabled because he had a serious mental health problem. He was informed of the loss of his father in a church, by a priest. This example neatly ties together the effects of the twelfth and the ninth houses. Namely, loss, religion and father. There was a loss, twelfth lord, of his father, ninth lord, and since the lord of the ninth and twelfth is in the ninth, he heard about it in the ninth house, or in other words, at a Church, by a priest.

So this is one example of the practical effects of the lords. So the most important thing that happens to a lord placed in a house, is that the house it is placed in, greatly shapes how that lord will act. This is the first principle that must be fully understood and through studying real charts, learned; so that you can predict with this technique. In studying real charts of persons you know well, over a number of years, you will gradually see realistically the effects of the houses upon the lords.

The second thing that happens when a lord goes to a specific house, that lord brings his baggage to bear upon that house. This is different from what we were previously discussing. Previously we were discussing how the house affects the lord placed within it. Now what we are saying is that the lord brings effects upon the house he is placed within. This is the exact opposite principle, but it is also true. Both things occur simultaneously.

For example, in the example from the person's life that was given earlier, we saw that the twelfth lord brought his effect of loss upon the ninth house. But we also saw that the ninth house effected how the twelfth lord acted. In other words, there was loss of the person's father -that is the effect of the twelfth lord, but there was also the ninth lord, or the church and priest, involved in the loss - which was the ninth house inging its effects upon the twelfth lord.

Both of these principles have to be used in prediction. Let us take another lordship example in practical life.

There was a couple with two children. When we examine the charts of the husband and wife we find the husband has lord of the fifth in the second house while the wife has lord of the fifth in the first house. What in general does this say about each of their involvements with their two children? Overall which of them has more involvement with raising the children?

The correct answer would be the mother because she has lord of the fifth in the first house, which means that the fifth lord or children, has a great effect upon her first house, or her body. Whereas, the husband has the fifth lord in the second house which means that he may speak to the children more than anything else, since the second house rules one's mouth and speech. Also he will pay for the children's way in life often, since the second house is also wealth, especially at the children's time of rise in career. The father will shell out some money at that time in their lives because the second is tenth (career) from the fifth (children).

When you look at the realistic day to day lives of this family, the mother does most of the physical parenting, while the father mostly works on his career and talks to the children as their father, and he has a very good effect on them in that way. But when it comes to outings, bedtime readings, playing games, and just being with the kids, it is usually their mother who does these things and not their father. The father does however concern himself with making money and supporting the family.

What does Vedic astrology have to say about mothering? The answer is implied in every chart simply by the layout of the houses. The first house is tenth from the fourth house. In other words, our first houses, which represent our early lives, also represent the career, or tenth angle, from our mothers, or our fourth houses. So, the layout of the houses implies that during our early lives, our very bodies are the careers of our mothers. It is simply a fact of nature that mothers raise kids and the chart implies that this is their path or proper karma.

Karma means 'work' and the tenth house or tenth angle from any house rules karma. Karma is not a bad word. It simply refers to our actions. The tenth house also rules power and position. Our charts imply that our mother's power and position should have been found in raising us as strong, healthy, good children. If the lord of the fourth and first houses in our charts are not nicely placed, then it says something about how our mothers raised us.

Hopefully the above examples show how realistically the lords can be tied directly to real life. By learning what the houses stand for, placing those effects upon the lords, and then going further to understand the 'houses from houses' principle (like the 2nd is 10th from the 5th and thus stands somewhat for the rise of the children's career), then we can see life itself unfold before us in every person's chart.
