 So far I acquainted you with the basic values of their homes. This article I will present to you the innate nature, the type of energy which the different homes have. And this energy is actually the base for the different basic characteristics.

I will use a concept that has remained in the Indian astrology, and in the west was apparently pushed somewhere and completely forgotten today. This concept is briefly called "The four main ambition in human life".

The desire is a key principle and is fundamental to human life. All human actions – fine and elegant to coarse and vulgar, selfish or altruistic, are motivated by a wish, by some desire. The actions following the desires are divided into four categories, or are the four human ambitions:

    * Homes 1-5-9 - home of dharma. Dharma is a Sanskrit term which translated means "what you are called upon". Every living creature on earth has its place in the puzzle that ensures harmony in the universe. Dharma of the sun is to shine and to donate heat, light and life. Dharma of the river is to run and to water. Dharma is part of life that can not be ignored, nor corrected.

    * Homes 2-6-10 - homes of arta. Arta in translation means "wealth, resources, achievement" - what is necessary to maintain life.

    * Homes 3-7-11 - homes of kama. Kama translated means "desire, to achieve what you are striving for".

    * Homes 4-8-12 - homes of moksha. Moksha translated means "release, freedom from slavery; end"

Have a look at the following picture, which reflects the sun's daily path:

At sunrise, there is a symbolic "birth". A new life has been born. 10th home is the peak of this life, the maximum. 7th home is the sunset, after which life slowly begins to go. 4th home is the end. After it begin the preparations for the new birth.

Immediately after its rise the Sun begins its transition through the 12th home. From an astronomical point of view, the Sun is extremely impressive sight exactly at the time of the sunrise, because there is a dramatic contrast between the darkness of the night, which has already passed and the coming light of the day. One-two hours after sunrise, however, this impressive view is already gone, the contrast has disappeared - the sun is no longer such an impressive sight nor are the light and the emitted energy as strong.

In this regard, the 12th home is quite interesting because it is a "hidden" home, it is associated with separation, loss, escape. However it is in the area which is said to be public, the sun is already visible.

My personal opinion is that at the step of this home, one loses most of all himself, his ego-feeling at the expense of the world around him. One loses his personal space, his introvertness, his subjectivity, his independence, which are defined by the bottom half, where the sun is invisible between its sunset and sunrise. It is no accident that we often see politicians and public figures with strongly expressed 12th home. The world just does not see them, but some images, they don’t have a well structured personal space, anyone can invade it. And they often suffer because of this.

The same happens with the 8th home, which again is in the public part of the horoscope.

 There are different divisions in categories of the homes. I will write some of them:

The cardinal homes

1st/7th - Asc / Dsc

4th/10th - IC / MC

This is the fundamental cross in the horoscope, its basis. These homes are like pillars. And when they are very well and strongly placed, then the entire horoscope is on solid footing. Planets in these homes are strong because they are in dominant areas which define the turning points in the course of the sun – sunrise, daily climax, sunset, the lowest point. Each good doing planet in these homes is a signal for the general protection - health, progress in life, positive nature. Maleficent planets in the "fundamentals" are a sign of upheaval in life, various negative traits of character that lead to conflicts. But this does not necessarily mean it is a bad thing. Under the meaning of the natural harmony, everything has its meaning and utility.

The trigonal homes

1st, 5th and 9th - are related to the unconscious, instinctive actions over which one does not think. The artist does not think about how to move the brush on the canvas, he does it instinctively and focuses on the picture in his mind. The cardinal are associated with the deliberate actions, with the initiative. When there is agreement between the conscious and unconscious actions this leads to maximum beneficial results. The trigonal homes provide the luck, the happy "coincidences", the goods in life, what brings the greatest benefit to man.

The fixed homes where things are preserved and stabilized

2nd, 5th, 8th and 11th

These homes give durability, stability and security.

Falling Homes

3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th

These homes provide the connections - they show the transition, there is motion in them and a retreat from what has already happened. When something is achieved, one must continue to something else, he can not remain stagnant.

 'Suffering' homes

6th, 8th and 12th

These homes are transient, they show the need for some change. They are close to the first and seventh homes, ie sunrise and sunset. They usually require a change through some difficulty. Why do homes around the 4th and 10th do not have such a meaning? Because changes in visibility (and hence power) of the Sun are less extreme.

 In the first part related to the home, I mentioned that there are secondary meanings for each home. How are they derived?

Every home in the horoscope can be placed on an ascendant. For example, when looking at the financial security, then the second home is placed on the ascendant and is considered first. From this position the first home of the horoscope becomes the 12th for the second home. The meaning of the 12th home is a loss, separation, release. Which means that the resource of the 2nd home is lost and is directed primarily at maintaining the life of the man (first home). And if the manager of the second home of the horoscope is in the first home, in a simple language this means that the costs and the loss of resources will be primarily for personal needs, to maintain the special physical form, particular behavior, environment, etc.. The body, behavior, vision, the way in which man appears before the world, are considered to be particularly valuable and it is a resource.

12th home of the horoscope, however, is 11th to the second home. The meaning of 11th home is a benefit, profit, success (in any sense). As a standard 12th home is the home of the loss, separation, and will probably have a loss. But as related to the second home, this is the 11th. Therefore, the manager of the second home, located in the 12th, will rather be a positive sign for man - he will manage to achieve the desired, to achieve success and other benefits (tangible and intangible) to add to his resources.

In a similar way the 8th home, counted from any home will define how long will the things, symbolized by it live. For example, in the seventh home is the marriage . If we count eight homes we will get to the second home in the horoscope. Thus according to the 2nd home, the planets in it and those who aspect it, we can make conclusions about how long will "live" the marriage of man, what vitality it has.

 Now I will give an answer following the example that I gave:

The sun as a manager of the sign Leo, manages also the 12th home of the horoscope. It is positioned in the 11th home. What does this mean?

Each planet has a tendency to concentrate and focus on the objectives of the home, which it occupies dragging behind its whole arsenal for which it is responsible, ie the homes it manages, as well as the things to which it is a natural significator *.

 * Natural signifikcator - every planet itself, no matter where it is situatied within the horoscope, manages certain things in life, for example the moon is a natural significator of the mother and this has nothing to do with, which home the Moon stands in or which home it manages. The natural significance is also part of the tasks of a given planet.

The sun is the center of the solar system, as the spirit is the heart of our microcosm, our own universe. So the home in which the Sun is located is the place around which revolves all our creative energy, the purpose of our existence.

In this connection, on the one hand the position of Sun in 11th home will define that the most important thing in life will be goals, achievements, aspirations, different ways of earning and success, the involvement in various social groups. While many of the astrological texts relate the Sun in the 11th home with humanity, ability to highly appreciate the people and placing them above everything, this humanity has as a root the satisfying of own desires and goals. 11th home is the peak of personal desires of the man, the greatest temptations. Sometimes they are very self-centered and the strive for success is at all costs - no forbidden means.

The "tasks" of the Sun in our example are related to the 12th home. They are associated with a certain type of "release" from different things. Each planet in the 11th home, however, has a tendency to abundance, accomplishment of various goals and desires and through visible achievements. The sun here is focused on bringing abundance and benefits associated with everything that the 12th home represents. For example, benefits from the various vices and entertainments of people, to escape from the reality, benefits from the various institutions which are referred to, benefits from distant countries, fixed investment, charitable causes.

Why do I mention more benefit than abundance of "loses"? This option also exists - a man's life to be full with abudnace and benefits of losses and costs of various nature. There will probably be those too.

But! There is a piece of subtlety here, which I wrote about above. When considering the manager of a home it is better to take into consideration in which home it stands. In this case the 11th home is 12th from 12th. In a simple language that sounds like: "loss of the losses, end of the losses". Planets that lie at the 6th, 8th and 12th homes from any home, are unfavorable to its deeds. From this follows that the position of the sun as the manager of the 12th home stops the losses - they turn into benefits.

In the articles on aspects between planets I discussed the issue, that in addition to the real nature of the planets, they also receive a temporary status "good doers" or "evildoers". This depends on the homes, which each planet manages. In the next article I will write about this issue.
