Moksha houses(04th,8th and 12th in depth)

Moksha houses(04th,8th and 12th in depth)

We all know that there are 3 cycles of Dharma,arth,kaama and moksha in vedic astrology.

1st cycle:1st house:- dharma(mesh-fire)


2nd house:- Arth (vrish-bhoomi)
3rd house:- Kaama(mithun-vayu)
4th house:- Moksha(kark-jal)

2nd cycle:5th house:- Dharma(simh-fire),6th house:- Arth (kanya-bhoomi),7th house:Kaama(tula-vayu),8th house:- moksha(vrishchik-jal),

3rd cycle:9th house:- Dharma(dhanu-fire),10th house:- arth(makar-Bhoomi),11th house:kaama(kumbh-vayu),12th house:- Moksha(meena-jal)

But how many of us understand the real meaning of these facts?? For example we know that:1)12th house is for bed pleasures.
2)4th house is for sukh(generally house, mother etc)
3)8th house is for death, prolonged sickness, hidden things etc.
4)4th,8th,12th are the moksha houses,but are we really understanding the deep meaning of these
facts or the relations between these facts???

Astrology in nothing but reality of our life.Sun rises in the 1st house(early morning 6 am)....10th
house(12pm-midday) is next landmark in the sun's path followed by 7th house(6 pm-evening)
and 4th(12 am-midnight) houses receptively.

With this course of sun our life pattern is fixed as per the qualities of the respective bhava. We
get up in the morning(1st), go to our work place(10th), come back to our home in the
evening(7th) to the family(mainly spouse) and finally go to sleep(4th)-midnight.

On a different plane altogether...our inner cycle is just reverse...or you could say the cycle of our
formation......or our spiritualistic journey :-lagan is our identity(since its a risen part-head), 4th
house would be rising next(hence our- heart).In other words,We can obtain moksha only when
we surrender our own identity(1st house) and let our soul to obtain god. Surrendring means to
just bow our head(1st) in front of the god or bring it to the level of heart (4th)........In other words
the first step towards moksha is to start finding our(1st house ) general happiness(4th house) in
God....If this surrendering is happenning in a true sense(getting totally detached from ourselves
or from our ego(1st house to obtain happiness(4th house) then we could clear the first obstacle in
the path of moksha....

So when we talk of moksha houses we mean:-Detaching from ourselves to obtain god.

In the kaal of the 4th house- when we sleep in the midnight( Our soul leaves our body and
whereever it goes ,we start dreaming about that place..though our body,brain and heart are
always in a state of working and never sleeps.....therefore we sleep in terms of soul and body
detachment)....or simply detachment take place ...hence called a moksha house of first
category.....In the 8th house ....when we encounter long sickness,death,unexpected,mysterious
facts of life through occult etc ,we immediately shed our ego's or our "I", hence here also
detachment occurs.

This happens because we tend to realize that nothing is in our hand and therefore self realization
take place.Fear of Death makes us realize that actually we our souls which changes body just like
clothes.Prolonged diseases makes us feel that this body is non-eternal.

In the 12th house when everything including our existence is lost,Only then ultimate truth of soul
and god comes to our mind.Again when everything of materialistic origin is gone ,then we start
detaching ourselves from "I", hence also called final step in the moksha path.

The essence of moksha is best realized in the 12th house(final enlightenment) followed by
8th(Tap or meditation in darkness or hidden meaning of our life) and 4th(initial stages on the
path of moksha) house respectively.

This is how it goes but many astrologers makes us comprehend,12th is for bed pleasure and
sleep(which is actually 4th house materialistically). All the materialistic happiness is the outcome
of 4th house only.If we observe closely 12th house is 6th to 7th house.If we assume 12th house
for bed pleasures and 7th for sex,it would mean that bed pleasure is an obstruction to the sexual
activity and obviously this is not the case.Also people say that since 7th house is 8th to 12th
house therefore 12th house is for bed pleasures. what they misinterpret forget to comprehend is
that ,if we assume 12th house for bed pleasures then we are saying that sex is an hidden element
of bed pleasures but actually sex is not an hidden part of bed pleasure on the contrary its a most
dominant and visible part of the bed pleasures.

The sleep texts mentions for 12th house has nothing to do with sleep we know but, is actually
"YOG NIDRA"-Spritualistically which takes us way ahead on the path of detachment.Yog Nidra
is a supreme kind of meditation through which we actually get detached from everything
materialistic around us....people equate this highest form of meditation i.e yog nidra to normal
sleep.....and also inculcate a factor of bed pleasure in 12th house which actually is the parameter
of 4th house.....and this fact also gels with the fact that 4th house represent midnight kaal...which
goes well with timing of bed pleasure.....12th house represent the time period of 06:00-08:00am
in the morning.....this is the actually the time when sexual activity is strictly prohibited by our
texts........this is the irony in the understanding or astrologers....on one side they take 12th
house ....as the ultimate house of moksha....and on another side they equate this house with bed
pleasures....

Now coming to the 4th house(which is actually for bed pleasures), which is 10th from 7th house
means that actual derived karm of sex is pleasure or happiness.This is a reason why sexual
happiness is regarded as the ultimate happiness in the material world(Material here means ,its a
never ending desire).But we mixes all the concepts and make a mockery of it.4th house also
represents mother's womb where we are totally detached from the world...it is said that when a
child is in the womb of mother then even rahu and ketu also cannot negatively influence the
child......- hence 4th house is also for mother apart from moksha.7th house represents sex, but the
happiness derived from sex has to be seen from 4th house which is also for materialistic sleep in

the midnight(12:00am)- hence 4th house is for sleep with materialistic sexual pleasures and
spritually all the three houses (4th,8th,12th house)are for different category of Yog nidra. Since
sexual pleasures are not derived in open and it needs a house, therefore 4th is also for house apart
from mother and moksha.

Moving futher, if we look at closely 5th house which is 2nd from 4th and represents children and
romance is the real strength or dhan of the sexual happiness. If there is no romance or lack of
romance between the couple, happiness cannot be felt even after carrying out sex.Also if the
couple is not begetting a child, the sexual happiness would be affected.Since 5th is 11th to 7th
house, it shows gains from sex or child is the gain from sex but since 5th is 2nd to 4th it shows
child gives strength to the sexual happiness just like 2nd house give it to lagan being a panphar
house.similarly sustainence of the pregnency(9 months)is seen from 4th house(Mother's womb)
but since 5th is the strength of 4th house,Final delivery is shown by 5th house.

Few conditions which help in promoting the native on the path of moksha are:-

1) Influence of atmakarak and sun on these houses(4th,8th,12th)


2) Strong influence of ketu in these houses.
3) Positive relation between saturn and moon in these houses.(vipreet Vish yog)
4) Strong connection between AL,laganesh and atmakark.(Involving at least one of these houses)
5) Connection of jupiter with saturn and saturn with ketu(since jupiter shows the path of moksha,
saturn help us to walk on it and ketu gives the final enlightenment) in these houses and their
lords.
6) Above conditions should also be checked from Karakans, arudh lagan,navamsa lagan and pak
lagan
