The
dharma houses 1, 5, 9 are the houses of meaning and purpose.
They relate to the fire element which represents inspiration.
When we are living in harmony with the dharma houses in our
chart then our lives feel worthwhile. We feel inspired, passionate
and on fire. The dharma houses are opposite the kama or desire
houses. The kama houses represent what we 'want' to do, whereas
the dharma houses represent what we 'need' to do to give our
lives meaning.
When we enter a dasha period of a planet who rules a dharma
house then it represents a time when we become less willing
to compromise what is most important to us. In yesterdays article
I talked about how the dasha of the 9th house can represent
a break in one's career for ethical or spiritual reasons, or
to travel. Another way of explaining this would be because their
job no longer held meaning or purpose.
If there's a combination of the 9th and 10th lords in the natal
chart it forms the best raja yoga called a 'dharma karma raja
yoga.' It's a combination between the highest of the dharma
or fire houses (1, 5, 9) with the highest of the artha or earth
houses (2, 6, 10). The 10th house is also called the house of
karma or action. It suggests a person who is able to combine
their inspiration with their career which can lead to the greatest
success.
