Psychological Meanings of Bhavas

By Ernst Wilhelm
www.astrology-videos.com

Each type of Bhava represents a different goal of life as per the Hindu ideas or Dharma, Artha,
Kama and Moksha:
Dharma Bhavas: The 1st, 5th and 9th are Bhavas of following one’s Svadharma, or own nature.
They are houses of the self and thus give different qualities of self-confidence. Whenever
Dharma Bhavas or their lords are threatened, there is a lack of self-confidence.
Artha Bhavas: The 2nd, 6th and 10th are Bhavas of the material concerns that are necessary for
the self to fulfill in order to maintain itself so that it may fulfill the path that its svadharma
inspires it towards. Psychologically these Bhavas give worth and value to the self. Whenever
Artha Bhavas or their lords are threatened, there is lack of self-worth.
Kama Bhavas: The 3rd, 7th and 11th are Bhavas focusing on the fulfillment of what the self
desires and are largely socially centered Bhavas. Psychologically these Bhavas give a sense of
fulfillment from external sources. Whenever Kama Bhavas or their lords are threatened there is
lack of confidence in fulfilling desires and difficulties in social environments.
Moksha Bhavas: The 4th, 8th and 12th are Bhavas that provide freedom from mundane concerns
and mundane pains. This freedom is the result of inner strength and thus these Bhavas represent
emotional and spiritual strength as well as contemplation. Whenever Moksha Bhavas or their
lords are threatened there is lack of inner emotional strength and the inability to contemplate
successfully.

Each type of Bhava also represents a different type of psychological strength:


Angles/Kendras (1, 4 7 and 10) represent strength of action. Whenever these Bhavas ore their
lords are threatened there is lack of confidence in actions.
Succedent/Panaphara Bhavas (2, 5, 8 and 11) represent security. Whenever these Bhavas or
their lords are threatened there is lack of security.
Cadent/Apoklimas Bhavas (3, 6, 9 and 12) represent skill and ability. Whenever these Bhavas
or their lords are threatened there is lack of skill or ability.

Combining the meanings creates the twelve psychological meanings of the Bhavas:
1st: Self + Strength of Action = Strength of Self in Action
2nd: Worth + Security = Secure in Intrinsic Value
3rd: Social + Ability = Ease of Social Ability
4th: Emotional/Contemplative + Strength of Action = Strength of Emotional and
Contemplative Actions
5th: Self + Security = Secure in Self
6th: Worth + Ability = Ability to be Worthwhile
7th: Social + Strength of Action = Strength of Social Actions
8th: Emotional/Contemplative + Security = Emotional and Contemplative Security
9th: Self + Ability = Ability as Self
10th: Worth + Strength of Action = Strength of Worthwhile Actions
11th: Social + Security = Social Security
12th: Emotional/Contemplative + Ability = Emotional and Contemplative Ability
