🏠 What Are the 12 Houses in Astrology?  

Astrology divides one’s birth chart (natal chart) into 12 pieces which are referred to as houses. These houses are hierarchical aspects of each individual’s life shaped by the zodiac sign and the planet occupying them.  

Master Ji explains, "Just like each room in a house has a unique function, each astrological house focuses on a particular domain of your life."  

The houses at which planets are positioned during ones birth, throws important insights regarding ones character, areas where they excel, problems they face, and even the future.
