What Does The Astrological Term “Falling Houses” Mean?

The birth chart is divided into 12 segments called “Houses”, which represent different aspects of a person’s life as they make their journey. Each House is ruled by one of the essential dignities of planets in astrology: domicile, detriment, exalted, and fall. A planet’s domicile is the zodiac sign over which it has its home position. The First House is ruled by powerful, masculine Mars and the zodiac sign on.

Astrologers interpret a birth chart by blending the meaning of each planet, the house it’s in, and the sign it’s in to map the obstacles or gifts that a person will face in their lifetime. An empty house in a birth chart is inevitable, but astrologers explain what it means and how to deal with it.

The astrological houses in a birth chart are the rooms where placements live, so calling them “houses” is very appropriate. According to the time of day you were born, the Sun, Moon, and planets will fall in various houses in your chart due to their positions in the sky. Houses 12, 9, 6, and 3 are called declining or cadent, meaning falling. Cadent means falling, and the ascendant designates the rising sign, and the first house begins at zero degrees of the zodiac sign in which the ascendant falls.

The 12 houses represent different facets of a person’s life, based on the time and location of birth, and show the gifts or obstacles they will face. The first six houses of the zodiac are known as “personal houses”, concerned with self-image, values, daily habits, and ancestry. It is crucial to remember that empty houses in astrology do not always signify a lack of knowledge or influence in relevant fields.

What is the most powerful house in astrology?

The angular houses in the chart are the most powerful, while succedent houses, less powerful but more powerful than the cadent houses, have a quality similar to the angular houses. The second house, which succeeds the first house of the body and personality, signifies the things that belong to the person, while the eighth house, following the seventh house of the partner or spouse, represents the belongings of the other person. Succedent houses have a stable, unchanging, fixed quality, deriving from their central position in each quadrant of the chart.

While some houses have malefic or weak connotations, they are productive houses where matters normally take root and flourish, such as possessions or children. The second house signifies the possessions of the person or event for which the chart was cast, and this meaning has persisted unchanged for several thousand years. Modern astrologers may perceive a correspondence between the second house and the sign Taurus, but traditional astrologers did not. Hellenistic astrologers considered the second house the “Gate of Hades”, leading to the houses beneath the horizon of the chart.

What is the house of loss in astrology?

In astrology, the twelfth house is the most spiritual house in a birth chart, associated with the Pisces sign and the planet Neptune. Traditionally, it is known as the house of loss, sorrow, suffering, secret enemies, and escapism. However, people with planets in this house have a special mission and karmic lessons to learn. The lessons depend on the planet placed in this area of life.

The twelfth house is often shrouded in mystery and secrets, but it also holds positive experiences and gifts. Twelfth house people, often associated with strong Pisces energy, have a connection to a higher power and believe in something greater than themselves. They share similar spiritual experiences, making it difficult to convince them that there is no spiritual purpose in life.

In “The Mysteries of the Twelfth Astrological House: Fallen Angels”, astrologers discuss positive tips for navigating twelfth house placements. The twelfth house is often misunderstood, but it is a place of resilience, spiritual connection, and a connection between people with similar spiritual experiences.

What does fall mean in astrology?

An astrological fall is a sign opposite a planet’s sign of exaltation, representing weakness and weakness in its function. The signs of fall include Sun in Libra, Moon in Scorpio, Mercury in Pisces, Venus in Virgo, Mars in Cancer, Jupiter in Capricorn, Saturn in Aries, Uranus in Taurus, Neptune in Aquarius, and Pluto in Libra.

Born with a planet in fall or detriment in your birth chart, it may indicate a need for increased effort or overcoming struggles. However, this is not necessarily unlucky, as meeting adversity with dignity can build character and improve overall well-being.

What are the declining houses in astrology?

The Greek term “apoklima” refers to the cadent houses, which were seen as falling away from the strength of the angular houses due to their perpendicular and oppositive relationships to the Ascendant. This term also signifies degeneration and decline. The English word “cadet” comes from the Latin translation of apoklima, which originally meant a lesser branch of the family or the younger son.

Astrologers generally view cadent houses as less fertile and productive, and the planets in them as less powerful and comfortable. This view is universally found in ancient sources, such as Paulus Alexandrinus, who describes the inharmonious planets found in cadent houses. However, there are conditions where a planet in a cadent house can be brought up to its full strength by a close trine to a benefic planet like Jupiter.

The notion of cadent houses as weak and ineffective persists with medieval and Renaissance astrologers, such as Guido Bonatti and William Lilly, who labeled them “poor and of little efficacy”.

What do missing houses mean in astrology?

Astrology suggests that having an empty house in your birth chart is not a cause for worry. If a planet is in a house, it means that the planet’s traits and themes are infused into that house’s life areas. If it’s empty, it means that you may not have the energy of a specific planet infused into a life area. However, you may still experience “action” in relation to the sectors of life ruled by that house. To determine if you have an empty house in your astrological chart, input the details of your birth like location, date, and time into a free chart generator.

Knowing your rising sign, or ascendant sign, is crucial for determining which signs are in each house. For example, a Sagittarius rising will have the fire sign in their first house, Capricorn in their second house, and Aquarius in their third house. By analyzing the traits and movements of the sign and its ruling planet in the empty house, you can “fill your house” and understand your communication methods and tendencies.

Which house is house of death in astrology?

The 8th house from the lagna is the house of longevity, while the 12th house, which includes the 2nd and 7th houses, are the marakasthanas (death-inflicting houses). The principal Marakas are the lords of the 2nd and 7th houses, who are designated as the inflictors of death or killers.

Marakas refer to the one that causes death at the end of a life-span or causes ill-health. For Aries lagna, Venus owns both marakasthanas, while for Taurus lagna, Mars, Moon, Mercury, and Mars are the marakas. For Gemini lagna, Saturn and Leo lagnas are associated with marakas, while Venus for Virgo lagna, Mars for Libra lagna, Venus and Saturn for Sagittarius lagna, Mars, Moon, and Jupiter for Capricorn lagna, Sun, Mars, and Jupiter for Aquarius lagna, and Mercury and Saturn for Pisces lagna.

Marakas and planets associated with them can cause illness and death during their dashas. If longevity is over but the dasa of maraka is not operating, the lord of the 12th house acts as the maraka and its dasha or the dasha of a malefic can cause death. Saturn and Rahu are the Mrityu-karakas or significators of death.

Death can occur in the antra-dasha or dasha of the lord of the 3rd nakshatra from Janam nakshatra for a person of Alpayu (short-life), in the 5th nakshatra for a person of Madhyayu (middle-life), and in the 7th nakshatra for a person blessed with Poornayu (long-life).

The manner of death can be known from yoga-formations occurring at the time of birth, such as being bitten by a cobra or stoned to death by falling on a stone or falling a stone. Death from punishment by ruler, fire, tuberculosis, excess fluids, surgery, fever, tumors, swelling, prolonged illness, starvation, poison, drowning, fall from height, injury, incarceration, or thirst or dehydration can also occur. Natural malefics cause illness or death in their dasha or antradasha, and disease can be prevented by a strong lagna and lord.

What if you have no planets in a house?

An empty house in an astrological chart does not necessarily mean that a part of your life is undefined or doomed to fail. It more likely means that it is a part where you experience less constant action or drama. Once you master the Big Three (sun, moon, and rising signs), you can move on to more advanced topics like houses. The tenth house is where you find information about your career, while the seventh house is where you find information about relationships.

Your birth chart is a multifaceted and dynamic stage play, with planets acting as actors, signs as costumes, and aspects as the actors’ dialogue. The houses represent different topics in our life, and the planets’ voice speaks loudly in the house where the planet resides. For example, if you were born with Jupiter in your tenth house of career, you might end up working in a Jupiterian profession, such as a scholar, teacher, or lawyer. Similarly, someone born with Jupiter in the fourth house of family and ancestry might have been raised by someone in one of those professions.

Which house is responsible for wealth?

The Parasari School of Hindu astrology identifies the 2nd house or bhava, which is associated with earning and accumulation of wealth, and the 5th and 9th bhavas, which are the abodes of Lakshmi, the Goddess of wealth. The inter-relationship between these wealth-giving bhavas and their respective lords ensures wealth and prosperity. Planets simultaneously owning two wealth-giving bhavas become prime indicators of wealth, with the strongest indicator being the one that owns both the 2nd and 11th bhavas. Dhana yogas depend on the lord of the 2nd who determines wealth, with income being judged from the 11th, gains through speculation from the 5th, and sudden unexpected gains from the 9th bhava.

Hindu astrology considers the 2nd house as the house of accumulated wealth and the 11th as the house of gains. Dhana yogas arise when the lords of the 1st, 2nd, 5th, 9th, and 11th bhavas mutually associate, but only when they connect with the lagna can more significant results be seen. Parashara has paid extraordinary attention to the 5th and 9th bhavas in Dhana yoga formations, such as Venus in the 5th in own house and Mars in the lagna, Mercury in the 5th in own house and the Moon, Mars and Jupiter in the 11th, The Sun in the 5th in Leo and the Moon, Jupiter and Saturn in the 11th, Jupiter in the 5th in own sign and Mercury situated in the 11th, Mars in the 5th in own sign and Venus in the 11th, and Moon in the 5th in own house and Saturn in the 11th.

What does falling indicate?

Falling can be caused by various factors, including age, eyeight, hearing, reflexes, diabetes, heart disease, thyroid, nerves, feet, or blood vessels. Even a simple accident can have serious consequences, such as breaking a bone or causing long-term disability. Over one in four people aged 65 years or older fall annually, and the risk of falling increases with age. However, many falls can be prevented by exercising, managing medications, having vision checked, and making the home safer.

Fear of falling can lead older adults to avoid activities like walking, shopping, or social activities. However, staying active is crucial for maintaining body health and preventing falls. To lower the risk of falling, it is essential to learn about the causes of falls and how to lower it. By understanding what causes falls and implementing steps to reduce the risk, older adults can feel more comfortable and confident in their activities.

What does falling Symbolise?

Falling dreams are common and often signify a loss of control over important situations, fear, terror, and anxiety. They can also represent a sense of helplessness. To interpret a dream more accurately, consider factors such as the source, reason, and emotional response. Carl Jung identified falling dreams as a’motif’ in Man and His Symbols, relating them to the myth of Icarus.

The general function of dreams is to restore psychological balance by producing dream material that re-establishes total psychic equilibrium. This is why people with unrealistic ideas or high opinions may have dreams of flying or falling. The dream compensates for the deficiencies of their personalities and warns them of dangers in their current course. If these warnings are ignored, real accidents may occur, such as falling or having a car accident. Understanding the context of a dream is crucial for accurate interpretation.

What is the house of Losses?

The twelfth house, also known as the House of Losses or Vyaya Bhava, represents an individual’s losses, expenses, and sacrifices. It governs hidden enemies, spiritual pursuits, and liberation. The ruling planet is Saturn. Each house has a unique energy that interacts with the planets placed in it and those that aspect it. The placement of the ruling planet and other planets in a house can significantly impact an individual’s life and experiences.

Each house has a specific role in an individual’s life journey, with the first house setting the foundation for the rest of the horoscope. Understanding the energy of each house and the planets influencing it can provide valuable insights into an individual’s personality, strengths, weaknesses, and life paths.
