Learn the 12 Houses

Eight lessons, about 59 minutes of reading. Level 1 is assumed — you should be able to find your Lagna before starting.

By the end you will be able to say what each of the twelve houses governs, classify any house as kendra, trikona, dushthana or upachaya, find any house lord and read its placement, and apply the rule that catches out every beginner: why malefics often do well in the houses that sound worst.
