The Four Aims of Life

Introduction

Every horoscope represents the four aims of life.
These aims are foundational principles in understanding one's purpose and direction in life.

Dharma (Duty or Life Purpose)
- Represents living according to the natural law of your being.
- Associated with the first house in astrology.
- Emphasizes doing what is right and having a purpose in life.
Artha (Security and Prosperity)
- Involves accumulating security and wealth as part of fulfilling one's life purpose.
- Includes money, food, home, and other necessities for physical existence.
- Corresponds to the second chakra, focused on security.
Kama (Desire and Pleasure)
- Relates to enjoying the fruits of your labor and living a fulfilled life.
- Associated with the second chakra, focused on enjoyment.
Moksha (Freedom and Liberation)
- The concept of spiritual freedom and realizing your true self.
- Corresponds to the ultimate freedom from attachments, desires, and personal complexes.
- Associated with the concept of liberty in spiritual and mundane senses.

The houses in astrology repeat the cycle of Dharma, Artha, Kama, Moksha.
Analyze your horoscope to see where planets are concentrated (Dharma, Artha, Kama, or Moksha houses).
Rahu and Ketu have specific roles; for example, Ketu is counted in Moksha houses while Rahu in Artha or Kama houses.
A weighted presence of planets in one type of house determines the dominant life pursuit.
- A concentration in Moksha houses implies a focus on freedom and spiritual realization.
- A dominance in Dharma houses indicates a strong inclination towards duty and the right way of living.
- A focus on Artha houses suggests the importance of security and material stability.
- Emphasis on Kama houses shows a pursuit of enjoyment and pleasure.

The balance or imbalance in these areas can indicate life focus and potential fulfillment.
Individuals with planets spread across different houses may have varied interests and pursuits.
Those with specific house emphasis may find deep personal and spiritual insights by aligning with that focus.

Archetypes
- Ancient models that shape human behavior and societal roles.
- Types include Warrior, Merchant, Outsider, Educator, and Laborer.
- Each archetype contributes uniquely to society and has distinct strengths and weaknesses.
- Determining one's archetype can be done through reading, quizzes, or chart analysis.

Understanding these aims and types can guide individuals toward fulfilling lives.
Each path, whether through Dharma, Artha, Kama, or Moksha, offers a route to personal and spiritual fulfillment.
