Session 6 of 17 – Planets in Houses, Classical Rules & Interpretations
This session built further on house placements, planetary dignity, and predictive clarity from classical texts. We welcomed a new student, explored foundational concepts from Brigu Sutram, and discussed practical interpretation techniques for understanding planetary influence in different houses. Guruji emphasized disciplined study, memorization of key sutras, and the value of balancing traditional rules with real-life context.
🗂️ What We Covered
🧘♂️ Foundation
Started with a prayer and a recap of planetary and house keywords.
Guruji emphasized the simplicity of ancient knowledge and the importance of Rahu as ignorance, not illusion.
📖 Studying Brigu Sutram
First statements about planetary placement are often the most accurate; memorize them.
Start building your own color-coded notes:
Use green for positive effects
Use red for negative effects
Don’t rush—thorough understanding matters more than speed.
🌞 Sun & 🌙 Moon in Houses
Sun in 1st, 5th, 10th: Linked to wisdom, children, vitality, wealth.
Moon in 1st: Associated with beauty, emotional sensitivity, and shifting moods.
Emphasis on not isolating astrology from karma and life conditions.
🔥 Mars & Saturn: Strengths and Placements
Mars: Courage, energy, exalted in Capricorn (sign of structure).
Saturn: Patience, endurance; exalted in Libra.
We discussed why exaltation means strength in specific environments.
🌞 Planetary Dignity & Exaltation Logic
Rare placements (exaltation/debilitation) hold greater weight in prediction.
Covered Rahu and Ketu’s exaltation signs (Taurus and Scorpio, respectively).
Explained Kala Purusha—zodiac as a person—for understanding house meanings holistically.
🪔 Classical Texts vs Personal Logic
Predictions must follow classical authority, not imagination.
Example: Venus (7th house karaka) doesn't only mean relationships —it can reflect material desire.
Jupiter in 2nd isn’t always good for money—but can be offset by other placements.
📜 House-Specific Observations
Sun in 7th: Can lead to delayed but higher-quality marriage.
Mars in 3rd: Classical texts say "problems with siblings," but real-world analysis matters too.
Jupiter in Cancer (Exalted): Strong benefits, including spiritual growth and Maharaja Yoga.
⚠️ Mangal Dosha & Marriage
Mars in 7th = Mangal Dosha, can be neutralized if both partners have it.
Real-life stories shared about impact of ignoring or acknowledging doshas.
Guruji emphasized careful communication when discussing such matters with clients.
🧠 Karakas & Important Notes
Introduced the 4 Karakas (especially for the 2nd house).
Rahu’s debilitation discussed; Saturn in 2nd house can reduce wealth.
Explained how hierarchical learning (sutras > logic) ensures better understanding.
✅ Your Action Items
📝 Start building personal study notes from Brigu Sutram using green/red ink system.
🔍 Memorize the first sutra/line for each planet's position in houses.
📚 Review previous notes on Sattvik, Rajasik, and Tamasik Grahas.
🔄 Set aside weekends to read and reflect on horoscopes regularly.
🔎 Prepare for the next session on planetary friendships, enemies, and dignity rankings.
As we move into the next stage of the course, focus on strengthening your understanding of planetary behavior in specific environments and developing confidence in referencing traditional authority with observational wisdom.
We’ll see you next week!
Warmly,
