When shall luck favour me? This is generally the first question that arises in the mind when showing one's horoscope to the astrologer. Or one might wish to know when a favourable change would take place in one's life. Although one's actions are quite important in life but without luck even hard work can prove futile. You can study your won horoscope and know about your life from it. The objective behind publication of this article is to make the readers self aware. One should not follow the dictate of Baabaa Vaakyam Pramannam i.e. one should not consider the astrologer's words to be final. You can yourself study your horoscope and know about your stars.
But for this one should at least have some basic knowledge of the horoscope. A horoscope has twelve houses and each house is called a Bhaav. In each house a number is written from one to twelve. The number in a house represents the sun sign. In the houses are situated nine planets. Some astrologers also include Uranus and Pluto in the horoscope. But actually there effect is not so marked. Generally a horoscope contains nine planets only.
Just open your horoscope and observe the number written in its houses. Each number symbolises a sign.

2. Taurus
3. Gemini
4. Cancer
5. Leo
6. Virgo
7. Libra
8. Scorpio

Moon - Cancer

Mercury - Gemini and Virgo
Jupiter - Sagittarius and Pisces
Venus - Taurus and Libra
Saturn - Capricorn and Aquarius

The twelve houses of the horoscope represent special aspects of life. The Lord of the sign in a particular house is the Lord of that house. For example if in the first house of the horoscope the number 3 has been written i.e. the sign is Gemini then because the Lord of Gemini is Mercury hence the Lord of the house is also Gemini. The same shall apply for the other houses.
In a horoscope with Gemini ascendent the Lord of the first house is Mercury. The number in the second house is 4 and hence the Lord is Moon, in the third house is 5 i.e. Leo and hence the Lord is Sun, in the fourth house is 6 and hence Lord is Mercury, fifth Lord is Venus, sixth Lord is Mars, seventh Lord is Jupiter, eight and ninth is Saturn, tenth is Jupiter, eleventh is Mars and twelfth is Venus.
