🪔 The Cosmic Blueprint: Exploring the 12 Houses of Vedic Astrology and Your Soul’s Journey
In the vast universe, your birth chart is like a sacred mandala, a mystical diagram etched with the positions of planets and stars at the moment you took your first breath.
Each of the 12 houses (Bhavas) in this chart is a sacred chamber that reveals a unique dimension of your life’s story, woven with karmic threads from countless past lives.
The ancient sages of Bharat conceived this divine architecture not merely as a predictive tool, but as a map for self-realization and inner evolution.
In the dance of these houses, your journey from material pursuits to spiritual liberation is profoundly inscribed.
“Your birth chart is not a prison of fate, but a poetic script your soul chose to perform its evolution.” ~ Adarsh Singh
