4 Goals in 12 Houses

Why learn and concern oneself with Astrology or Jyotish in this modern day and age?

The four goals or Purushartha’s in life according to Hinduism are - dharma (righteousness), artha (means), kama (desire) and moksha (liberation). These are all the interconnected goals of human life to be pursued in a balanced way. The ultimate goal being the liberation from the cycle of life and death achieved through self-realization and detachment from worldly desires.

The 12 houses of the kundli with the 4 purusharthas of Hinduism

As the image above showcases, Jyotish expresses the kundli of the individual as 12 houses where each house contributes to one of the four purusharthas. The ancient knowledge of Jyotish can help explain the predispositions of the individual in relation to these four purusharthas. By understanding the interplay of Planets (graha), Houses (bhava) and Zodiac Signs (rashi)  individuals can gain clarity about their life purpose, strengths, and challenges to make more informed choices, strive for a fulfilling life and make progress towards the ultimate goal of liberation (moksha).
