Classification of Houses

Trikonas - 1, 5, 9:
Trikonas (and their lords) are the most auspicious houses in the chart. The trikonas are dharmasthanas. They
bring spirituality, knowledge, goodness, generosity and well-being if they are well placed and unafflicted.
Kendras - 1, 4, 7, 10:
Kendras (and their lords) are considered auspicious as they represent some of the most important and
fundamental areas of our lives - body and innate nature, home and mother, marriage and relationships, our
position in society (profession/status) and so forth..
Trikasthanas - 6, 8, 12:
Are considered to be the three evil houses of suffering (dusthanas). These houses and their lords bring
difficulties, suffering, loss, anxieties, worries, obstacles, disease, confinement/isolation, impediments,
enemies, lawsuits, accidents, injuries, surgeries, and death like experiences into our lives.
Trishadayas - 3, 6, 11:
Are considered malefic. BPHS Ch.34: 3-4, says; "Any planet owning the 3rd, 6th, or 11th will give evil
effects." The malefic quality of the 11th house (most powerful trishadya) is greed as it is one of the three
kama or desire houses. The Bhagavad Gita states:
"Tri-vidham narakasyedam dvaram nasanam atmanah
kamah, krodhas tatha lobhas tasmad etat trayam tyajet."
Which translates as:
"Desire, anger and greed - the triple gate of hell bring about the
ruination of the soul. Therefore one should avoid all these three."
Ch.16 verse 21.
Trishadaya lords can signify difficulty and/or disease, especially when aspecting vulnerable bhavas/grahas.
Upachaya Houses - 3, 6, 10, 11:
The upachaya houses are the best house placements for the natural malefic planets. They are also
considered "increasing" or "growing" houses because they are said to improve with time as the person gets
older.
Marakasthanas - 2, 7:
Are marakas (killers) due to their owning 12th from 3 and 8 (the houses of longevity). Planets occupying or
owning these houses can cause death during their dasas. If they operate before the time of death is
promised, they can bring death like suffering, disturbance of the health etc..

Although modern astrology software calculates strengths such as "Sthana Bala" for us, it's beneficial to
understand the basic principles of these strengths. For instance, a planet in a kendra (1,4,7,10) gets 60
shashtiamsas whereas a planet in 2nd from a kendra (panapara) gets 30 shashtiamsas and a planet in 12th
from a kendra (apoklima) gets only 15 shashtiamsas.
