sir,

I could not get it clearly,

Does the first house start from lagna and then divide the total day

into 12 parts ? If yes then a house may fall in two rasis. Which planet

will be the lot of the house when the house falls in two rasis.

Narotham Reddy

Thanks in advance.

Dear Narotham Reddy,

The 1st House starts from the exact moment of our births. So, at that

moment, your Rising Sign or 1st House might be at the 15th

degree of Taurus, or it might be at the 5th degree or the 28th degree.

The "House" system of Jyotish creates a first house of 30 degrees if you're within the 30 degrees of Taurus.

Then, your 2nd house will be the 30degrees of Gemini, 3rd house, the 30 degrees of Cancer etc.

In my previous email I was trying to make the point that the literal,

actual segments of the sky, are the different Houses. It's very

visceral or organic.

Hope this helps....

Sincerely,

Mark Kincaid

PS: When you watch the Transits of the Stars, the planets and Sun will

be in the various 'segments' of the sky, and those segmnts

ARE the different Houses.

Later we can discuss the difference between the 'House' system of the houses and something called the Bhava system which creates

a different House system depending upon whether you're born in the beginning or end, especially, of a sign.
