A note on this entry Bhava karaka (natural significator) of the 1st: the Sun. Whole-sign rule: the bhava is the whole sign, so every planet in the same sign as the lagna is in this bhava whatever its degree, and the bhava cusps are the sign boundaries. A Western quadrant house (Placidus, Koch, Campanus, equal) divides the day into arcs instead and can push a planet into a neighbouring house or leave a sign intercepted; the two answers differ and the difference is not a defect. The corrective used by some Jyotish schools is the bhava chalit chart, which re-draws the cusps by the Sripati method.

Karaka Body The self Vitality Personality Appearance Head Brain Longevity Fame Happiness Birth Constitution Self image Meaning The first bhava is the body, the self and the constitution, and the point from which the whole chart is counted. Its cusp is the lagna: the degree of the rising sign at birth. It is both a kendra and a trikona, the only bhava that is both, which is why it is the strongest house in the chart.
