Moksha houses(4th,8th,12th)-In Depth

[Guest guest]

We all know that there are 3 cycles of Dharma,arth,kaama and moksha

in vedic astrology.

1st cycle:

1st house:- dharma(fire)

2nd house:- Arth (bhoomi)

3rd house:- Kaama(vayu)

4th house:- Moksha(jal)

2nd cycle:

5th house:- Dharma(fire)

6th house:- Arth (bhoomi)

7th house:- Kaama(vayu)

8th house:- moksha(jal)

3rd cycle:

9th house:- Dharma(fire)

10th house:- arth(Bhoomi)

11th house:- kaama(vayu)

12th house:- Moksha(jal)

But how many of us understand the real meaning of these facts??

For example we know that:-

1)12th house is for bed pleasures.

2)4th house is for sukh(generally house, mother etc)

3)8th house is for death, prolonged sickness, hidden things etc.

4)4th,8th,12th are the moksha houses

but are we really understanding the deep meaning of these facts.

or the relations between these facts???

Astrology in nothing but reality of our life.

Sun rises in the 1st house(early morning 6 am)..10th house(12pm-

midday) is next landmark in the sun's path followed by 7th(6 pm-

evening) and 4th(12 am-midnight) houses repectively.

With this course of sun our life pattern is fixed as per the

qualities of the respective bhavas.

We get up in the morning(1st), go to our work place(10th), come back

to our home in the evening(7th) to the family(mainly spouse) and

finally go to sleep(4th).

On a different plane altogether:-

lagan is our identity(since its a risen part-head), 4th house would

be rising next(hence our- chest,heart).In other words,We can obtain

moksha only when we surrender our own identity(1st house) and let

our soul to obtain god. Surrendring means to just bow our head(1st)

in front of the god or bring it to the level of chest(4th).If this

surrendering is happenning in a true sense(getting totally detached

from ourselves or from our ego) then we could obtain moksha.

 

So when we talk of moksha houses we mean:-

Detaching from ourselves to obtain god.

In the 4th house- when we sleep in the midnight( Our soul leaves our

body and whereever it goes ,we start dreaming of that place..though

our body,brain and heart are always in a state of working and never

sleeps.....therefore we sleep in terms of soul and body

detachment)....or simply detachment take place ...hence called a

moksha house.

In the 8th house ..when we encounter long sickness and death ,we

immediately shed our ego's or our " I " , hence here also detachment

occurs.This happens because we tend to realize that nothing is in

our hand and therefore self realization take place.Fear of Death

makes us realize that actually we our souls which changes body just

like clothes.Prolonged diseases makes us feel that this body is non-

eternal.

In the 12th house when everything including our existence is

lost,Only then ultimate truth of soul and god comes to our mind.

Again when everything of materialistic origin is gone ,then we start

detaching ourselves from " I " , hence also called moksha house.

 

The essence of moksha is best realized in the 12th house followed by

8th and 4th house respectively.

 

This is how the cycle goes but many astrologers makes us comprehend,

12th is for bed pleasure and sleep(which is actually 4th house

materialistically). All the materialistic happiness is the outcome

of 4th house only.If we observe closely 12th house is 6th to 7th

house.If we assume 12th house for bed pleasures and 7th for sex,it

would mean that bed pleasure is an obstruction to the sex and

obviously this is not the case.Also people say that since 7th house

is 8th to 12th house therefore 12th house is for bed pleasures. what

they misinterpret is that ,if we assume 12th house for bed pleasures

then we are saying that sex is an hidden element of bed pleasures

but actually sex is not an hidden part of bed pleasure on the

contrary its a most dominant and visible part of the bed pleasures.

 

The sleep texts mentions for 12th house has nothing to do with sleep

we know but, is actually " YOG NIDRA " -Spritualistically which takes

us on the path of detachment.Yog Nidra is a supreme kind of

meditation through which we actually get detached from everything

materialistic around us.

 

Now coming to the 4th house(actually for bed pleasures), which is

10th from 7th house means that actual derived karm of sex is

pleasure or happiness.This is a reason why sexual happiness is

regarded as the ultimate happiness in the material world(Material

here means ,its a never ending desire).

 

But we mixes all the concepts and make a mockery of it.

 

4th house also represents mother's womb where we are totally

detached from ourselves- hence 4th house is also for mother apart

from moksha.

7th house represents sex, but the happiness derived from sex has to

be seen from 4th house which is also for materialistic sleep in the

midnight(12:00am)- hence 4th house is for sleep with materialistic

sexual pleasures and spritually all the three houses (4th,8th,12th

house)are for Yog nidra.

SInce sexual pleasures are not derived in open and it needs a house,

threrefore 4th is also for house apart from mother and moksha.

 

Moving futher, if we look at closely 5th house which is 2nd from 4th

and represents children and romance is the real strength of the

sexual happiness. If there is no romance or lack of romance between

the couple, happiness cannot be felt even after carrying out sex.

Also if the couple is not begetting a child, the sexual happiness

would be affected.

Since 5th is 11th to 7th house, it shows gains from sex or child is

the gain from sex but since 5th is 2nd to 4th it shows child gives

strength to the sexual happiness.

similarly sustainence of the pregnency(9 months)is seen from 4th

house(Mother's womb) but since 5th is the strength of 4th house,

Final delivery is shown by 5th house.
