Image above shows the main details for this child from Jagannatha Hora. As you can see in the list on right, lagna is at Leo 7 degrees 57 minutes. Moon is at Aquarius 23 degrees and 07 minutes.

Upper left chart is the main chart we usually see and call as rashi chart or lagna chart.

Lower left is the bhava chalit chart which shows the correct bhava/house for the planets. Notice that the Moon has gone to 8th house. To verify manually, start counting from the diamond box where As (ascendant) is written and go counter clockwise. You will see that Moon is in the 8th box.

Conclusion – although Moon is in the 7th rashi (sign) from the lagna. But it is in the 8th bhava (house) from lagna.

Now, there are multiple school of thoughts in astrological community on how to calculate these houses. Each has a slightly different take. I will show you the houses derived by 3 most popularly known and followed systems.

First is the equal houses system:-

At the bottom centre, you can notice some tabs in the software. I have moved from key details to the Houses tab now. Extreme right has a menu where I have selected the Equal Houses method of defining bhavas/houses.

Now, at the list of details in top centre. In the first column named Houses, lookup the 8th house. See the values against it that define its boundaries. It begins from Aquarius 22 degrees 57 minutes and ends at Pisces 22 degrees 57 minutes. 22’57 is 15 degrees away from our lagna degree 07’57. Then, recall where our Moon was – Aquarius 23 degrees and 07 minutes. Meaning Moon has slipped into 8th house by 10 minutes. A close one, but 8th means 8th. See far right in that row and you will find Mo (Moon) written. Confirmation that Moon is in 8th house.

So, next we move on to the second method of house derivation – Shripati padhati.

Again, see that I’ve got it selected in that menu on right. For each method you can also keep seeing bottom left Bhava Chalit chart for graphical confirmation of what is seen in the details list in same screen. Lets continue. So in the list of details here again. We lookup the 8th house. Notice that the house boundaries are slightly changed based on this method. But our Moon remains in the 8th house in this method as well.

Lastly, the third method called Placidus house system which is also used in KP (Krishnamurthy Padhati) branch of vedic astrology.

Take your time to confirm that Moon has the same story as far as the house is concerned.

Now lets go to Astrosage. First I’m showing here the bhava chalit chart from Astrosage. Because this is the chart to see houses remember?

I’ve pointed witn an arrow in bottom right. Moon is in 8th house. Again, count manually in counter clockwise direction, starting from the ascendant (top centre box having number 5). Go till the box having Mo written in it. You would have counted 8 boxes. That is our confirmation that Mo (Moon) is in 8th house. This was a graphical display.

Now we’ll see the data in list of details just like we did in Jagannatha Hora. Following is the Chalit Table from Astrosage.

[image error] See that I’ve highlighted the 8th house row here and given its starting boundary – Aquarius 22 degrees 42 minutes. Finally lets check where Moon is according to Astrosage. See below.

Moon is at Aquarius 23 degrees and 07 minutes. Which comes after Aquarius 22 degrees 42 minutes where 8th house began.

Someone might ask – which ayanamsha did you use?

I have used both variations of the most commonly used Lahiri ayanamsha as well as used the recently developed KP ayanamsa. All show the Moon in 8th house consistently.
