Bhāva: Houses
Bhāvas – the houses
In Vedic astrology, the natal chart is the bhāva chakra (Sanskrit: chakra, ‘wheel’.) The bhava chakra is the complete 360° circle of life, divided into houses, and represents our way of enacting the influences in the wheel. Each house has associated karaka (Sanskrit: karaka,’significator’) planets that can alter the interpretation of a particular
house.
