BhagyaSamhita says that the houses themselves are established by the exact time of birth, with the 'front door' to the chart being the Ascendant which is the cusp of the first house. The houses are numbered from one to twelve. The first house begins at the Ascendant on the Eastern horizon. The houses are numbered in a counter clockwise movement.

BHAGYA SAMHITA AND ASTROLOGICAL ASPECTS

The aspects in the horoscope are formed by the mathematical angle between two planets in the chart. There are many features but the main ones are the Ptolemy aspects: the combination, sextile, square, trine, and opposition. Each aspect has an energy which can represent an open door for easy expression of the planets or a narrow passage that inhibits expression. The conjunction is when two or more planets in the chart are close together, sitting side by side. This aspect merges the energies of those two planets and offers the gift of new beginnings, power, and energy to shove forward.

The sextile is formed when planets are at a 60 degree angle to each other. This phase brings a very privileged energy with it, because it creates opportunities to produce something, take a new street, to act on a new creative effort.

The Square is produced when planets are at 90 degrees to each other. Just think of walking around a square. It's not as easy as walking around a circle or a sharp angle. Your view is marginal rather than face-to-face. So, planets in square create stiffness, often stress and difficulties to expression.

The Trine is another easy aspect created by an angle of 120 degrees between planets. This offers the greatest ease of appearance, harmony in action, and takes little effort to complete the task. Sometimes, though, it can create idleness and chances of success can be missed. The disapproval is an angle of 180 degrees. With it, the ability to see directly in front of you is offered. This creates wakefulness to see what needs to be reworked with teamwork and give and take.
