Most Effective Point (MEP) of a house: The rising degree of
lagna is the most effective point for all the houses. Any planet placed within
a degree or two on either side of it in any house would influence the
significations of the house in a very pronounced manner according to its
functional nature. For example, if 23 degree rises in Sagittarius lagna and
Moon is placed at 24 degrees in the 3rd house in Aquarius (ruled by
Saturn), it becomes the most effective point of the 3rd house. This
Moon is a functional malefic (being 8th lord) is at the MEP of the 3rd
house. It will not only mar the initiative of the native, but during
sub-periods of Moon & Saturn, it will not allow any initiative of the
native to succeed. The aspect of Moon on the MEP of the 9th house
would also cause obstructions in the significations of the 9th house
during sub-periods of Moon and of 9th lord Sun. In such a case, if
the Sun is well placed and strong, the adverse impact of Moon would become
mild. Now suppose 3rd lord Saturn is weak and badly placed, the
impact of Moon on 3rd house significations during sub-periods of
Moon & Saturn would be quite grave. However if the planet in the MEP is a
functional benefic, during sub-periods of its and its dispositor, the results
would be very fruitful.

Strength of a House/ Bhava: A house/ Bhava becomes strong, its
significations flourish and it gives favourable results, if –
1.
The house lord occupies/ aspects his own house.
2.
The house is occupied/ aspected by a benefics only or is in Shubhkartari.
3.

4.
The house lord is conjunct, aspected or is in Shubhkartari.
5.
The house lord is posited in a Kendra or trikone house in strength.
6.
The house lord is in 3rd, 5th, 9th, or 11th
from it.
7.
The dispositor of house lord is in exaltation, Mooltrikone or own sign.
8.
The house is occupied by a planet in its exaltation, Mooltrikone or own sign.
A house/ Bhava becomes
weak or may be destroyed and gives unfavourable results if the house has the
opposite traits. When both benefic and malefic influences operate on a house,
mixed results are indicated.

Significations of Houses: The 12 houses have
reference to all relations and events during the journey of the soul from the
cradle to the grave. A house exhibits its significations through its
significator, sign posited in it, its lord. While analysing a house, we should
also consider its position with respect to Karya Bhava, Karaka of event and
Moon as well. The most effective point of a house is called its Cusp which is identical with the
longitude of lagna sans sign. The lord of Nakshtra wherein this point lies is
called the Cuspal lord. The house
draws its strength from the strength of Cuspal lord. Uttar Kalamrita by Kalidas, gives in detail the general
significations of each house. However the major significations of each house
are as under:
