Astrology inside the Southern Hemisphere has constantly been a topic of rivalry among scholarly astrologers. The Western and Vedic astrological traditions have been developed inside the Northern Hemisphere, and it's miles from that perspective that we interpret the movement of the planets (grahas), homes (bhavas), and symptoms (rashis). For the maximum part, astrologers have interpreted the movement of the planets inside the Southern Hemisphere similar to inside the Northern Hemisphere. but most severe-minded humans find this unsatisfactory. How are we able to follow the identical interpretations whilst, on the identical point in time, one hemisphere is under the iciness solstice, and the other beneath the summer solstice?

by analyzing planets, houses, and symptoms in element, we are able to determine how those principles ought to be carried out to Southern Hemisphere horoscopes. we find that planets and houses may be interpreted nearly similar to within the Northern Hemisphere. but symptoms (rashis) want to be completely redefined. We discuss the planets and houses right here.

The planets/grahas exert the identical have an impact on within the Southern Hemisphere as within the Northern Hemisphere, besides for the Lunar Nodes. to adapt the Nodes to each hemispheres, we should interpret the Nodes as ascent towards and decent from the polar areas, no longer as ascent in the direction of and descent from the North Pole specially. within the Northern Hemisphere, the north is seen as the peak, the south as the depth. This feel of direction is reversed in the Southern Hemisphere.

In Western astrology, in the Southern Hemisphere, we would interpret the North Node because the consolation zone or impediments to be triumph over, and the South Node as what we need to obtain in lifestyles. that is the other of the Northern Hemisphere interpretation. In Vedic astrology, in the Southern Hemisphere, the North Node would be interpreted as Ketu, the worldly misfortune that brings enlightenment. The South Node might be interpreted as Rahu, the source of frenzy and dependancy.

The meaning of the houses/bhavas remains the equal (1st = self, 2nd = cash, 3rd = neighborhood... ). The temporal order of the houses remains the equal. however the spatial position of the homes is reversed. they're a mirror photograph about the vertical axis. when we view the celestial equator and ecliptic from the Southern Hemisphere, we see that the eastern horizon (the Ascendant) is at our proper, not our left. The signs and symptoms/rashis ascend or move the Ascendant moving counter-clockwise, no longer clockwise. In Western and Vedic astrology, the houses/bhavas are assigned their meanings in line with their temporal series, the order wherein they go the japanese horizon. This that means is retained within the Southern Hemisphere. The temporal series is the same as the North. but the spatial collection is a reflect photograph. the primary house (bhava) is underneath the horizon on the proper (no longer left). The 7th residence is above the horizon at the left (now not proper).
