How to read JanmKundali

Houses, Bhavas, Sthanas

In any Chart/ Kundali there are 12 compartments which are called “Houses,’Bhav or Sthan”. The topmost house is counted as the first house. (Number 1 House in the figure.) Then subsequently all the other houses are counted in anti-clockwise direction.

Planets, Grahas

There are total 12 planets, (grahas) considered in astrology. Ancient Vedic Astrology only 9 planets are considered. The recently discovered 3 planets namely Uranus (‘Harshal’), Neptune and Pluto were obviously not considered. However it is wise to consider all 12 planets.
