Dear Vivekji, Namashkaar,
I just found answer for the question Lagna here now. Thanks . U have asked us what does Bhaavat bhavam means ?
I searched for the meaning of the term bhaavat bhavam in Google I got this fantastic post . I thought it will help all of us to know more about this Baavat bhavam So I wish to reproduce it here. Sorry , If U think it is not correct. , please forgive me for copying the post.
There is an interesting concept in Vedic astrology that can help us to understand the nature of the houses, called bhavat bhavam. It means "house from the house", and it refers to the method of counting the same number of houses from any house as that house is from the 1st house. In Jyotish, everything is anchored around the 1st house or Lagna. The whole chart is born from the 1st house and returns to it.
The bhavat bhavam house is like a secondary house for the house in question, and it shares some of its meaning. Here are the bhavat bhavam houses for each house:
3rd house is bhavat bhavam for the 2nd house (2nd from 2nd)
3rd house is also bhavat bhavam for the 8th house (8th from 8th)
The 3rd house is traditionally a house of siblings, but is also a house vital energy, curiosity, and desire. It is essentially the house of our ego selves. It shows where we want to put our energy and resources, what we want to learn how to do, and the struggles we need to go through in order to gain those new skills. In this way it relates to learning skills, sports, artistic abilities, competition, travel, and recreational activities. It is a secondary 2nd house because it shows what we want to do with our wealth, the struggles we go through to gain wealth, and how we relate to our siblings and peers (2nd house being a house of family and friends). It is a secondary 8th house because it leads to change, disruption, and struggle (mostly due to the ego's need to fight against something).
11th house is bhavat bhavam for the 12th house (12th from 12th)
11th house is also bhavat bhavam for the 6th house (6th from 6th)
The 11th house is traditionally a house of gains. It can also be related to large groups, organizations, and co-workers, because those are the people we have to deal with in order to make gains in society. The 11th house is also an ego-based house, where we seek to acquire something through our own actions, namely rewards, titles, and money. The 11th house is a secondary 12th house because in order to gain something we always have to give something. The 12th house is a house of expense, while the 11th house is a house of investment. The 11th house is a secondary 6th house because there is always some obstacle involved in making gains. It can also be a house of excess that can lead to accidents or health concerns, which are also reflections of the 6th house.
The 5th house is bhavat bhavam for the 3rd house (3rd from 3rd)
The 5th house is also bhavat bhavam for the 9th house (9th from 9th)
The 5th house is a house of creativity, which can be expressed as children but also as our own unique gifts and intelligence that naturally comes through us. The 5th house shows the thing that we are meant to do, what comes naturally to us. It is a secondary 3rd house because it can also be about the ego self, although more of the healthy ego self. The 5th house is a very personal house, showing our own personal mode of self-expression. It is also about learning and gaining knowledge, but while the 3rd house is about learning by practice and repetition, the 5th house is about gaining true knowledge and wisdom. The 5th house is a secondary 9th house because it is a reflection of our true life purpose and our spiritual calling.
The 9th house is bhavat bhavam for the 11th house (11th from 11th)
The 9th house is also bhavat bhavam for the 5th house (5th from 5th)
The 9th house is a house of spirituality, good fortune, life purpose, and how our purpose fits in with the greater laws of society. It is related to the father or teacher, as traditionally these were the parental figures that guided one's path in life. The 9th house is a secondary 11th house because it shows good fortune that can lead to gains in life. It also shows the direction we are aiming for in life, our aspirations and dreams, and so it reflects the theme of making gains. The 9th house is a secondary 5th house because it is about our life purpose, which is always related to our true gifts and talents, our self-expression, as well as our own innate nature. There is also a teacher/student connection between the 5th & 9th houses, the two houses of dharma besides the 1st house.
The 7th house is bhavat bhavam for the 4th house (4th from 4th)
The 7th house is also bhavat bhavam for the 10th house (10th from 10th)
The 7th house is traditionally seen as a house of relationships, but essentially it is a house of desire and the fulfillment of desire. Relationships are the main way in which we seek to fulfill our desires in life. The experience of desire always involves a feeling of incompleteness, and it is usually through other people that we want to complete ourselves. The 7th house is a secondary 4th house because it shows the fulfillment of our heart yearnings and our emotional being, represented by the 4th house. One of the purposes of a marriage is to create a stable and comfortable home for everyone involved. The 7th house is a secondary 10th house because relationships are always essential to one's career. We cannot really have status in life or achieve anything without the help of other people. The 4th & 10th houses reflected in the 7th show how we are always seeking to find fulfillment of the two opposite life aims of emotional happiness and material power.
The 1st house is bhavat bhavam for the 7th house (7th from 7th)
The 1st house or Lagna is a house of the self. The 1st house shows who we are in this lifetime. It is our physical body as well as our main personality. Determined by the turning of the Earth on its axis, it is like the stage or framework upon which our life is set. The sign that is in the 1st house always shows an energetic that we must learn to work with in some way in order to become whole and truly accept ourselves for who we are. The 1st house is a secondary 7th house because relationships are always a reflection of ourselves. Oftentimes we do not see ourselves for who we are until we enter into a relationship and have that reflection. Relationships are a partnership, and anything that happens in the relationship is a reflection of what's going on within us. The 1st and 7th houses are always opposite signs in the zodiac, but any two opposites taken to extremes are really the same thing.
This method of bhavat bhavam shows how the chart unfolds out of the 1st house. Out of the 1st house comes the other dharma houses, 5th & 9th, as well as the opposite and complementary house, the 7th. Out of the 5th & 9th come the 3rd & 11th houses, out of the 3rd comes the 2nd & 8th, and out of the 11th comes the 12th & 6th. Lastly, out of the 7th comes the 4th & 10th. The whole chart of houses is like a mathematical lotus flower, reflecting the sacred numerological laws of both two and three, which gives birth to the manifestation of the twelve, otherwise known as the zodiac.
