The First House
One’s complexion, caste, physical appearance, mental characteristics, nature of birth, fame and defame, success, etc., should all be based on the strength or otherwise of the Lagna and the Karaka.
Results of Lord of First House
1. In the First House: The subject lives by his own exertion, will have an independent spirit and will have two wives or one married and another illegal. If the Lagnadhipati is well disposed in Lagna, the person becomes famous in his own community and country.
If Lagnadhipati is in Lagna and aspected by evil planets, the results produced will be quite different from those which he would have produced by being aspected by benefics. The same rules apply to all Bhavas which should be borne in mind by every reader.
The reader must note that the combination is of general application. The exact nature of the results should be interpreted by taking into account the strength, weakness and other factors attendant upon the house lord.
2. Second House : There will be more of gains, teased or worried by enemies, good character respectable and generous hearted. Well disposed. He will gladly discharge his duties towards his kith and kin, and will be ambitious. He will possess prominent eyes and be blessed with forethought.
3. Third House: Makes one highly couragious, fortunate, respectable, two wives, intelligent and happy. When Lagnadhipati is well disposed, the native’s rise in life will be brought about by his brothers. He may become famous as a musician or a mathematician depending upon the nature of the sign and the planets involved.
4. Fourth House: There will be happiness from parents, many brothers, materialistic, well built, fair looking and well-behaved. If the 4th lord is favourably disposed, the person will acquire considerable landed properties, specially through maternal sources. He will be rich, happy, famous and commands a number of conveyances.
5. Fifth House: The first child does not survive, not much happiness from children, short tempered, subservient and serving others.
If fortified: In the good graces of rulers or powerful political parties and likely to be absorbed into trade or diplomatic services. He will propitiate deities consistent with the indications of the fifth lord.
6. Sixth House: In addition to the results produced by the lord of Lagna being in the third, the following may also be noted. There will be debts but they will be liquidated when the Dasa of the Lagndhipati comes.
When the lord is fortified, the native joins the army, becomes a Commander or even a Commander-in-chief provided the lord’s Dasa operates at the opportune period. Or, he may become head of medical or health services or an expert physician or surgeon. Here the other influences should be suitably balanced.
7. Seventh House: The wife does not live or there will be more than one marriage. Later in life becomes detached from worldly affairs and tries to lead an ascetic life. Depending upon other factors the subject will either be rich or poor.
There will be much travelling. If well disposed, he will spend most of his time in foriegn countries and lead a licentious life. Or he will be a puppet in the hands of his parents-in-law.
8. Eighth House: Learned, gambling tendencies, interested in occultism and mean character. If the lord is strong the native takes pride in helping others, has a number of friends, religiously inclined and will have a peaceful and sudden end.
9. Ninth House: Generally fortunate, protector of others, religious; if a Hindu—worshipper of Vishnu, good orator, happiness on account of wife and children; and rich.
Provided the lord is well disposed, he will inherit good ancestral and paternal property. The father will be famous, philanthropic and god-fearing.
10. Tenth House: In addition to the results of the 4th house, there will be professional success, honoured by eminent men, a research scholar or specialisation in that branch of knowledge or profession which is represented by lord of Lagna and the 10th.
11. Eleventh House: In addition to the results of the 2nd house, there will always be gains in business if a businessman. The subject will not experience financial straits.
He owes his prosperity to his elder brother. He will earn enormous business profits, consistent with the indications of the other planets joining the combination.
12. Twelfth House: The same results as in the 8th are produced. In addition, there will be many losses, visiting holy places and no success in business enterprises. He will spend inherited riches on charities and other deserving causes. Emotionally balanced he will dedicate himself for public weal.
Important Combinations
If the lord of birth in birth with lord of 6th, 8th or 12th, conjunction with or aspected by malefics, the health will suffer. If there are any beneficial aspects this evil should not be predicted.
If the ascendant lord is posited in the Lagna subject to evil combinations, the native will not be physically happy.
If all the planets aspect the ascendant he will be strong, wealthy and long-lived. If the lord is strong and good planets are in kendras and the ascendant is not aspected by evil planets, there will be great happiness regarding body.
If the lord of birth is in conjunction with an evil planet and Rahu occupies Lagna, the person has fears from deception.
If Rahu, Mars and Saturn occupy the ascendant, the person will have some trouble in his sexual organs.
If Jupiter or Venus remains in quadrants or trines from Lagna, favourable results are produced.
If the lord of the Lagna is in a movable sign aspected by its own lord his health will always be good and fortune prosperous.
If the ascendant lord is in the 8th, the subject will have a weak constitution. Provided favourable aspects exist, this result should not be predicted. The native will have a sickly constitution if the lord of the house in which Lagnadhipati is situated is also disposed unfavourably.
If Saturn is in the ascendant, his things will be stolen or he will be cheated.
He will be wounded in the head if lord of Lagna be Mars or Saturn and the house is occupied or aspected by evil planets.
If a Sushka (dry) planet occupies the Lagna the person will be lean. (Sushka planets are the Sun, Mars and Saturn). If the ascendant falls in any of the Sushka Rasis (signs owned by Mars, Saturn and the Sun) the body will be emanciated.
If the lord of the Lagna is in conjunction with Sushka planets then also similar results will follow. He will be corpulent if ascendant be Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces with good planets.
If the ascendant lord is a watery planet (Venus and the Moon), strong and well conjoined, the native becomes stout. Corpulence can also be predicted if the Lagna is owned by a benefic and if the lord of the Navamsa occupied by the lord of Lagna occupies a watery sign.
If Jupiter occupies Lagna or if Jupiter aspects Lagna from a watery sign or if the Lagna happens to be a watery sign with benefics in it then also the body will be stout.
The subject will suffer from asthma or lung troubles, if the Sun is in the ascendant aspected by Mars. Suffers from wounds and accidents if Mars is in Lagna aspected by the Sun or Saturn.
If the ascendant, its lord, ascendant in Navamsa, or its lord is in a movable sign the subject travels in distant lands with profit to himself. He will be happy all his life if lord of Lagna is in Vargottama, in exaltation, in a friendly drekkana, and joined or aspected by good planets.
If benefics stay in the 1st, 11th and 12th houses and the strong lord is in Trikonas be will be happy in the beginning and middle. If lord of Lagna is strong or Jupiter is in Lagna he will be happy in the beginning.
Given above are combinations which enable one to analyse in a general manner the first house and attempt predictions regarding the physical appearance, general fortune, health, stature, etc., of the native.
Real advancement can easily be made if the principles enumerated in these articles are applied to actual charts.
If the Lagna or its lord is hemmed in between two malefics, preferably Saturn and Rahu, the native will encounter thieves and suffer on their account. Rahu in the 12th is not as harmful as in the 2nd while Saturn in the 2nd is not as harmful as in the 12th.
If there are many evil planets in Lagna the person will always be miserable. If the ascendant lord, or the lord of the Navamsa occupied by the lord of the Lagna, or the lord of the 11th occupy the second house the person becomes happy after his 20th year. The position of the above lords in kendras makes the person happy after the 30th year.
Occupation of the 9th house by Lagna lord is conducive for happiness after the 16th year. Lord of Lagna in a decent position is itself a great asset which sustains a person throughout his life. Added to this the presence of any planet or planets in the 10th adds greater vigour.
Added to these two, that horoscope is a fortunate one in which planets are not disposed in Dwirdwadasa positions (12th and 2nd from each other).
A careful study of a large number of horoscopes has revealed that when Lagnadhipati is not strong and well disposed, but occupies the 3rd (vipat), 5th (pratyak) and 7th (naidhana) constellations from Janma Nakshatra (the star held by the radical Moon), the evil indications would be intensified.
Conversely when Lagnadhipati is strong but occupies the above constellational positions, there will be a lessening of the favourable indications.
Even when Lagnadhipati is strong but the lord of sign occupied by Lagnadhipati is blemished, the benefic results decrease and the malefic effects are augmented. In analysing Lagna Bhava, due attention must be paid to the dispositions of Chandra Lagna and Navamsa Lagna also.
We shall examine some actual horoscopes and then continue further the discussion of the first house.
Chart No. 1 – The lord of Lagna in chart is Venus who is a benefic. The ascendant is aspected by a malefic Mars. Though an enemy of Venus, Jupiter is a benefic. Consequently the location of Lagnadhipati in the house of Jupiter is auspicious. The presence of Lagnadhipati in the 8th made the native a very learned man.
Coming to the Navamsa, lord of Lagna aspects Lagna and hence, good. Jupiter, lord of the 9th, occupies Lagna. Venus situated in his own house aspects Lagna. Saturn exalted and the Sun debilitated aspect Lagna. Hence the first house has acquired considerable strength.
Since lord of Navamsa Lagna is in a movable sign, and the Lagna itself is a movable sign, the subject had wide travels. The stature was ordinary. The subject was fair looking. (Mark Venus and Mars, lords of Lagna and the Navamsa Lagna are fair planets.) The height was of medium size, complexion good. On account of the aspect of Mars, he was martial in nature.

There are other combinations which need not be mentioned here which made the native one of the world’s greatest personalities. The position of the three planets in the 10th and the formation of Rajayogas are factors whose bearing on the greatness of the native can never be overlooked.
In Chart No. 1, the ascendant lord is Venus and he is in the 8th from the ascendant. On either side of the ascendant are Rahu (in the 12th with the Moon) and Saturn (in the 2nd). Here the opposite holds good.
That is, Rahu is in the 2nd without any favourable aspects whatsoever and Saturn is in the 12th. On account of this combination the subject suffered from the hands of thieves and robbers and sustained some injuries.
Chart No. 2. – Lord of Lagna Saturn is in Taurus, a friendly sign and an conjunction with the Moon lord of the 6th. Lord of Lagna is also aspected by Jupiter and Lagna itself is aspected by Mars, Mercury and Venus. Again in the Navamsa, Saturn lord of Lagna is in debilitation and Lagna is aspected by Mars.
As Saturn has more to do with first house than any other planet, the person’s physical features are predominantly saturnine. He is tall, lean, with much hair, fair on account of the aspects of Mars over Lagna and Jupiter over Lagnadhipati.
Since the first house planet is a malefic and since he is in conjunction With the Moon, the native will not be quite healthy. The exact nature of his ill health should be ascertained from the 6th house.
It will be seen that an examination of a number of horoscopes will make it clear that the ascendant lord in situations similar to the above illustration will confer a weak constitution. A planet may give a weak constitution but at the same time it may also produce financial and professional prosperity.
Planets in the First House
1. Sun in the First House.—Strong moral nature, righteous-minded, ambition and love of power, tends to be well supported by good health and vitality. Cheerfulness and an optimistic temperament help to ensure popularity. It adds respect to the personality and gives lofty motives.
If with Saturn or Mars, it indicates scars and a hot constitution. The blood becomes impure and there will be itches all over the body. Fevers, inflammations and eye affections may also be anticipated.
2. Moon in the First House.—The native becomes fanciful and romantic, a moderate eater. Considerable restlessness is usually tempered by an easy-going disposition. The fortune is generally changing. It makes one an idealist, a great traveller and explorer.
If with Saturn, the mind will always be worried. If Mars is with the Moon, it indicates menstrual disorders in the case of women. Sociability tends to be a strong feature. He will be successful in professions that bring him into contact with the masses.
The Moon in Lagna with Rahu indicates hysterical tendencies and with Jupiter, the mind is elevated.
3. Mars in the First House.—This gives a hot constitution, courage, self-confidence and enterprise. The native will possess practical ability and love of liberty and independence. He becomes reckless of danger scorning defeat. This gives somewhat of a rash nature. The body will have scars and the appearance will be handsome.
The domestic life will be unhappy unless there are other favourable combinations. Abuse of physical resources may lead to ill-health. There is a proneness to accidents. The aspects should be carefully examined. Danger of cuts, burns, etc., are likely.
4. Mercury in the First House.—This position makes the subject humorous. Quickness of wit and mental ingenuity tend to be strongly marked. The native becomes well-read, particularly in occult studies.
In good aspect to Venus, it makes one musical and talented. Adaptability is a striking feature. Mercury makes the man intellectual.
If there is a Rahu or Ketu in Lagna, the native suffers a lot of nervous troubles.
5. Jupiter in the First House.—A magnetic personality is bestowed on the native. An optimistic spirit, jovial disposition and pleasant manners are indicated. The native will have more sons if the 5th house is not affected. Self-indulgence especially in regard to gluttony will affect health. If with Rahu, sins will be committed. Body will be inclined towards corpulence.
Lawyers, professors, writers, theologians, etc., come under this planet. The man becomes an influential leader. Diseases may result from impure blood.
6. Venus in the First House —This is a fortunate combination, more so if the ascendant happens to be Capricorn or Aquarius. The native will possess amiability and a cheerful temperament responsive to the emotional side of nature. It gives an appreciation of art. There will be craving for pleasure.
Passions will be pronounced. The native will take interest in music, drama and singing. There will be a fondness for scents, flowers, etc. Those born in this sign will be admired by the opposite sex.
Generally a good fortune is denoted. Fond of wife or husband, the native will have a magnetic and attractive personality. Marriage may take place early. If afflicted, it indicates discord in married life.
7. Saturn in the First House.—Foreign customs will be easily copied and imitated. But, if Saturn is not afflicted, there will be much consideration for the welfare or others. Self-confidence is normally justified. Moral stability will also be marked. The disposition is calm, grave and serious. The body will be weak and emaciated. Progress in any venture will be slow but certain.
There may be some aversion for responsibility. This position of Saturn makes habits inactive. Loss through negligence and lack of opportunity are possible. The same results will be noticed if the ascendant is aspected by Saturn. Misfortunes are likely in the early part of life.
8. Rahu in the First House.—The health will be generally unsatisfactory calling for treatment other than by medical methods. It inclines one to the occult and the serious willfulness of nature is well marked.
A hypocritical super-consciousness towards others is likely. It makes one appear rather odd and eccentric. This combination is usually bad for marriage. Rahu will generally partake of the characteristics of Saturn.
9. Ketu in the First House – Psychic powers are likely. It denotes a weak constitution and an emaciated figure. Instability and deceitfulness may influence the character. Morbid imagination, strange appetites, tendency to excitability and wandering disposition become pronouncedly marked. Married life will be unhappy unless there are other favourable configurations.
Every planet is the centre of some radiating force or energy. These planetary radiations are absorbed by all the beings in the universe in proportion to their capacity. The planetary forces pass through them along the line of least resistance.
When Do Indications of the First House Fructify?
Hindu astrology has several systems of directions, the most important of which is Udu Dasa or Vimshottari.
Now we shall explain the method of timing events pertaining to the first house. The first house indicates the body, general health, childhood and personality.
In the analysis of the results of the first house, we have to consider the following carefully:— Whether the native of the horoscope is likely to enjoy the Dasa of the ascendant lord or for that matter, the Dasa of the lord of any house in consideration. For knowing this, the longevity should be previously ascertained.
If the Dasa of the ascendant lord does not begin before the commencement of Maraka period, then what are the other planets which influence the 1st house by way of occupation or location and whether the native will enjoy the Dasas of such planets? The main periods and sub-periods generally will give a delineation of the native’s life.
In timing events pertaining to the first bhava, note the following factors carefully : —
- Lord of the 1st house,
- planet or planets aspecting the 1st house,
- planet or planets posited in the 1st house,
- planets aspecting the lord of the 1st house and
- planet or planets in association with the lord of the 1st house.
The same consideration holds good with reference to the other houses. These five factors are capable of influencing the first (or any) house, either as lords of main periods or as lords of sub-periods.
Further (1) the sub-periods whose lords influencing the first house in the major periods of whose lords also influence the 1st house, produce results predominantly of the 1st house.
(2) The sub-periods whose lords are associated with the 1st house, in the major periods whose lords are not associated with the 1st house, will produce results pertaining to the 1st house only to a limited extent.
The above principles can be clearly understood by the following illustration.
Chart No. 3.— Planets who will give results of the first house in their major and sub-periods:
- Lord of the first house—Saturn.
- Planets aspecting the first house—Saturn, Mars, Venus and Mercury.
- Planets posited in the first house—Nil.
- Planets aspecting lord of the first house—Jupiter.
- Planets in association with lord of the first house — the Moon.
In the horoscope illustrated below Saturn, Mars, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and the Moon can influence (produce effects of the 1st house) either in their Dasas (major periods) or in their Bhuktis (minor or sub-periods).
Since the longevity is about 75 years, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Mercury can influence the 1st house both as major and minor lords while Venus can give the effects of first house only as minor lord.
Of the several planets having anything to do with the first house, those in which two functions (out of the 5 mentioned supra) are combined will be in a position to influence the house most.
For example, in the above horoscope, as Saturn not only rules the ascendant but also aspects it, he will be able to influence the 1st house much more than the other planets. A planet is said to influence a house if it owns, occupies or aspects the said house or its lord.
Nature of the Results – The nature of the results varies with reference to each individual case. During the main period of a planet influencing the first house:—
- the sub-period of another influencing the 1st house, who is associated with the main lord, will produce results pertaining to the 1st house—par excellence.
- The sub-period of a planet influencing the 1st house who is not associated with the main lord will produce only ordinary results pertaining to the 1st house.
- The good or bad nature of the results depends upon whether a particular lord is benefic or malefic, whether he is favourably or unfavourably disposed towards the particular Lagna, and whether he is a Rajayogakaraka or a Maraka planet.
- The major lord or minor lord (influencing the 1st house) will produce effects, pertaining to the 1st house in its relation to the other houses with which the lord may have anything to do by way of ownership, aspect, location, etc.
Thus, in case of Taurus ascending with Mars posited: Mars in his own Dasa may produce effects of the 1st house in its relation to the 7th house. In the horoscope above illustrated let us take Mars and see what effects (in relation to the 1st house) he will produce in the course of his Dasa.
Saturn’s sub-period in Mars – Both the major and sub-lords are capable of influencing the 1st house. The major lord is with Venus (capable of influencing the 1st) lord of the 4th (house of mother and happiness). The native lost his mother and the happiness due to him on that account.
Chart No. 4.
The Ascendant.—Lagna is Makara or Capricorn. Lagna receives the aspect of no planet—good or bad. Lagna is occupied by no planet. This is good. In the Navamsa, Lagna is aspected by Jupiter. This is good. Thus the ascendant is moderate in strength.
Ascendant Lord – Lord of the Lagna Saturn is in the 8th in the sign of a bitter enemy. Saturn is aspected by the Moon, a malefic in this case. This is bad. In the Navamsa, however, Saturn is with Jupiter in the sign of Venus, an intimate friend. Hence the strength of the ascendant lord is also fairly good.
Lagna Karaka – The Sun is the Karaka or indicator of body. He occupies a vargottama position but in a sign owned by an enemy. The Karaka is therefore inclining towards good.
Conclusion – The planets mostly influencing the first house are Saturn, the Moon and Jupiter, leaving aside the Thanukaraka the Sun. The native will partake of the characteristics of Saturn mingled with those of the Moon and Jupiter. The head is big, face broad, mouth big, tall, lean, fair complexion, vindictive. The body will be thin and long. Health will be fairly good but occasionally she will suffer from bodily complaints.
She lacks self-confidence. She is nervous. Jupiter here is a malefic capable of influencing Lagna. Hence, during Jupiter’s Dasa she suffered considerably from ill-health.
