✨ In this episode of Jyotish: A Vedic Astrology Podcast, I’m joined by Kalidas Hansen to explore the four aims of life — Dharma (purpose), Artha (security), Kama (pleasure), and Moksha (freedom).

We focus on the first six houses of the birth chart and how each one reflects these universal aims:

• 1st house – Where will I find self-love?
• 2nd house – Where will I find security?
• 3rd house – Where will I find enjoyment?
• 4th house – Where do I need to think positively and express love?
• 5th house – Where is my creative purpose?
• 6th house – Where can I heal and serve?

Kalidas shares a beautiful, practical perspective on how these houses guide our journey of self-discovery and service.
