Spirituality is experiencing a sense of enlightenment connecting with something which is more powerful than our own self. That is almighty. It is the knowledge of the unknown world, there lies something which is greater than our existence on earth. Human life is not all about material aspects. But, it has a deeper connection with the things and aspects which are connected to the upper consciousness of existence of soul. True spirituality is giving of self in the hands of God in true sense.
It has nothing to do with selfish love, self-glorification, feeling good, fame, material wealth, or any such earthly things related to me or to self. It is a strong desire to be one with God who is the unknown power above the human bondages and sufferings. In the birth horoscopeIt is the birth chart of the native in all cases. It shown a… More spirituality is indicated by the prominence of the 5th and 9th houses and their association with Saturn.
The 5th and 9th Dharms trikona houses represent piousness,purity of soul and God. And Saturn is the karaka of renunciation and total dedication of self to God. It is a separating planet. It separates a person from worldly attachments. The twelve houses in astrology are divided into four trines. 1–5–9 called the DharmaAs per a given society, “dharma” is a moral code of behavior… More trine. 2–6–10 called the Artha trine. 3–7–11 called the Kama trine; and 4–8–12 called the moksha or spiritual trine. So,it is clear that 4th, 8th and 12th houses are the spiritual houses.
4th house is the house of family, home, property and other personal belongings of a person. The fourth house is the house of comfort and happiness. It is also known as the house of security and property. It is the first step towards spiritual awakening because in order to be able to even take the first step towards spirituality, a person need to be physically and mentally strong, satisfied of worldly comforts and secure. A man with an empty stomach can’t do meditation or search for the the divine power/God.
A man with a disturbed mind searches friends, or people, or vine or drugs to sooth mind. When body and mind both are secure ,and human is fully satisfied for material things he can desire to find out the real truth of life spiritually. 8th house is the house of death, known as Randhra bhava. In terminology of classical vedic astrology each house is given a particular name and that name explains every fact about that house in just one word. The word Randhra of sanskrit language has multiple meanings. It means imperfection, hole, slit, chasm, defect, opening, possibility, flaw, fault etc.
Hence, it is known as the house of death as well as age. It is the house of occult science and the house of initial stages of spiritual awakening.It is second house of spirituality after 4th house.So it depicts second stage of a person who is on his spiritual journey leading towards Nirvana. 12th house is the house of loss expenditure or Vyaaya Bhava. When Buddha was asked what he gained after enlightenment, he said, “Nothing at all! But I lost a lot. I lost anger, fear, arrogance, pride, vanity, ego, envy, misery, sadness. I lost everything, but gained nothing!”
Therefore 12th house is the house of enlightenment or actual spiritual awakening that loss of everything materialistic and gain of realization of own real self. It is for this reason that it is a watery sign owned by Jupiter which depicts priest or preceptor who shows spiritual path to others when he has already reached last stage of its goal. Water is transformation and to remain at its state for long at its peak. Water neither decays nor perishes but can change its form. Water flows and transforms, it is still enough to show reflection but when it flows it can break mountains. And it is for this reason that Venus, the planet of lust becomes exalted there. Because in Pisces, Venus loses its only bad nature that is over indulgence.
These three 4, 8, 12 are the primary houses and signs Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces play a role in spiritual growth of of a person. 5th and 9th are usually thought to be spiritual houses, but they are not. 9th is the dharma bhavaHouse of religion More because dharmaAs per a given society, “dharma” is a moral code of behavior… More in vedic terminology means religious guidelines set by society like the vedic way of life, marriage and having a family, obeying the rituals of a particular religion etc. and not spiritual growth. Hence, a strong 9th house only indicates that person will be someone who follows the family traditions and follows the the norms of society. That is why it is also considered the house of the Guru or the Father.
Guru is who teaches and implies those norms in a person, father is the one whose implies heritage and culture of the family in which he is born. If the 9th house is strong along with other spiritual indications given by Moksha bhavas native will attain spiritual growth through his own religious path, which is to say the one that his family follows. If the 9th house is afflicted along with indications of spiritual growth, he will progress through a path different than that the social/cultural tradition followed by his parents. But other than that, it in no way indicates spiritual prowess.
5th is the house of past life and its actions. It also represents love, progeny and intelligence. If the 5th is weak along with spiritual indications form moksha houses the output of 5th house will suffer. Native will feel sad about other relationships of practical life. If the 5th house is strong,native will be able to be successful on spiritual path along with successful family life. In real sense each and every planet as well as houses of horoscopeIt is the birth chart of the native in all cases. It shown a… More play a role in the path of spirituality. If even one of them does not confirm to it, then the spiritual growth will be denied and materialistic results would be stronger.
