Four key facets of our life

Today I am going to talk about an important topic. What are the four key facets of everyone's life?

There are following four pillars of our lives: Dharma ( the Duty), Artha ( the resources), Kama ( the desires), and Moksha ( the liberation). Our life revolves around these four pillars. One must perform all the duties assigned to one's; duties related to self or family, societal duties, and moral duties. To perform duties, one needs resources; financial and non-financial resources. When one performs one's duties and uses or misuses resources to one's disposal, it gives rise to all kinds of desires. Finally, when one's starts coming out of this vicious circle of duties and desires, one tends to go near Moksha ( the liberation ).

All these phases occur at different degrees and times in each individual's life. Also, opposite to common belief, it's not only when one goes to Himalaya's then only one gets liberation. As I explained in my previous blog, anyone can attain spirituality while performing one's daily chores.

If we try to understand it from an Astrological perspective, our birth chart has 12 houses. Each house represents one of these four prime pillars: as these are called Dharma trine, Artha trine, Kama trine, and Moksha trine. In every year of our life, while one of these will be of primary focus, due to relationships with signs, sign lords, and planets, another trine will also be active.

Below is a simple table to remember:

Dharma Trine: 1st, 5th, and 9th house

Artha Trine: 2nd, 6th, and 10th house

Kama Trine: 3rd, 7th, and 11th house

Moksha Trine: 4th, 8th, and 12th house

Happy reading!!
