What is a Rashi, and how is it different from a Bhava (House)? | Learn Astrology in Easy Way | Part 3

What is a Rashi (Zodiac sign), and how is it different from a Bhava (House)?

Rashi (zodiac sign) is a cosmic segment of the sky - each 30 degrees, fixed in space. There are 12 Rashis from Aries to Pisces. They represent moods or energy fields.

Taurus, Leo, Virgo, Scorpio, and Capricorn are considered "Barren Rashis". These Rashi's are also considered weak for having children.

Bhava (house) is a life area - like career, marriage, money, family, children, health etc. Bhavas are person-specific and are determined based on your Lagna (Ascendant).

                                        12 Bhavas (Houses) in Vedic Astrology


Rashi = the costume the actor (Graha) wears
Bhava = the stage or room where the actor performs
Graha = the actor

Example: If Mercury is in Gemini in the 2nd house. Mercury, the communicator, feels at home in Gemini (expressive, curious) and is performing on the stage of the 2nd house (speech, wealth, family). So, the native may have good communication and persuasive skills, and may earn wealth through communication, business, teaching, writing, or family trade. Native will be quite talkative personality.

Takeaway:
Rashi is the energy climate. Bhava is the life area. Graha is the player or actor performing in that combination.
