HOUSE/BUILDINGS- ENTERING A NEW HOUSE (GRIHAPRAVESA)


These guidelines are also those to be followed any time a “king” enters his house after returning from a journey.
 
Ayana: If possible, Uttarayana is preferred.

माघ-फाल्गुन-वैसाख-ज्येष्ठ-मासेषु शोभना:|
प्रवेशो मध्यमो ज्ञेय: सौम्य (मार्गः ) कार्तिक मासयो: || (here months are Lunar Months )

Masa: Vaisakha, Jyeshtha, Magha and Phalguna are most favorable. Kartika and Margasira are middling. Chaitra should be avoided.

Nakshtra: Rohini, Mrigshira, Uttara Phalguni, Anuradha, Uttarashadha, Uttara Bhadrapada, Chitra and Revati are best.

Kalaprakasika also considers Punar vasu, Pushya, Hasta, Shravana and Shatbhisha as favorable, while Muhurta Chintamani also considers Chitra as favorable, these all of which may be considered as middling.

Amongst the favorable Nakshtras mentioned, it is yet more favorable if the Nakshtra faces the door of the house.


Nakshtras Krittika to Ashlesha are eastern,
Magha to Vaisakha are southern,
Anuradha to Shravana are western, and
Dhanishtha to Bharani are northern. (For example, for entering a house with the door facing east, Rohini, Mrigshira, Punar vasu and Pushya would be most favorable, as they are favorable in general and eastern Nakshtra.)

Tithi: Avoid the 4th, 9th and 14th Tithis and the last five Tithis of Krishna Paksha. The 1st Tithi of Krishna Paksha, the 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 7th and 10th of both Pakshas and the 11th and 13th Tithis of Shukla Paksha are favorable.
Amongst the favorable Tithis given,
Purna Tithis (5th, 10th & 15th) are particularly favorable for entering a house with its door facing East;
Nanda Tithis (1st, 6th & 11th) are particularly favorable for entering a house with its door facing South;
Bhadra Tithis (2nd, 7th & 12th) are particularly favorable for entering a house with its door facing West;
and Jaya Tithis (3rd, 8th & 13th) are particularly favorable for entering a house with its door facing North.

Vara: The Varas of the Moon, Mercury, Jupiter, and Venus are best. Saturn’s is mediocre. Other Varas should be avoided.

Lagna: Fixed Rasis are best, dual Rasis middling and moveable Rasis should be avoided. Moveable Rasis are only acceptable if the Navamsa Lagna is Taurus, which is a very fortunate Rasi for this purpose.

The Rasis of the Upachayas from the individual’s natal Lagna and natal Moon are particularly favorable if they are also one of the favorable Rasis mentioned.
The Lagna should definitely not be the 8th from the individual’s Lagna or Moon.
Entering a house when the Lagna is the Janma Rasi protects from disease if the Lagna is fixed.

Additionally, if this Rasi is occupied by a benefic it is very favorable.
If the Muhurta Lagna falls in the 2nd from the Janma Rasi, there is illness and decline of wealth;
in the 3rd pecuniary gain;
in the 4th trouble to relatives;
in the 5th trouble to the son;
in the 6th ruin to the enemies;
in the 7th adversities to the wife; in
the 8th maladies;
in the 9th trouble through the king;
in the 10th attainment of desired goals;
in the 11th affluence,
in the 12th comfort and fortune, even when bereft of other dignities.

Aries at the time of entering indicates travels;
Taurus gives comfort and affluence;
Gemini brings riches;
Cancer takes away all property;
Leo bestows a long happy life;
Virgo indicates enjoyment with many ladies;
Libra causes diseases;
Scorpio indicates many dangers, but if occupied by a benefic it instead indicates gains;
Sagittarius increases grains;
Capricorn causes losses;
Aquarius indicates prodigious wealth;
and
Pisces indicates a long happy life.

Navamsa: The Navamsas of the Moon, Mercury, Jupiter, and Venus are favorable.

Bhavas: The 8th Bhava must be unoccupied; any planet in the 8th is harmful. Some sources also suggest avoiding any planets in the 4th, which is a good principle to follow. Benefics are best in angles, trines, the 2nd, 3rd and 11th. Malefics are best in the 3rd, 6th and 11th.

Grahas: Avoid the afflictions of Jupiter and Venus, particularly combustion.

Sun on the Left:
The Sun should not be on the left of the house when entering. When entering a house facing east the Sun is on the left when in the 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th Bhavas.
When entering, a house facing south the Sun is on the left when in the 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th Bhavas.
When entering, a house facing west the Sun is on the left when in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th Bhavas. When entering a house facing north the Sun is on the left when in the 11th, 12th, 1st, 2nd and 3rd Bhavas.

Venus in Opposite Direction or on the Left:
It is unfavorable to enter a house when Venus is located in the opposite direction, or on the left (the houses that put the Sun on the left above are also the houses that put Venus on the left).
For entering a house facing west, Venus is in the opposite direction when in the Lagna; for entering a house facing east, Venus is in the opposite direction when in the 7th; for entering a house facing south, Venus is in the opposite direction when in the 4th; when entering a house facing north, Venus is in the opposite direction when in the 10th. Venus, however, in own or friendly Rasi, or exaltation does not exercises an adverse influence.

Miscellaneous: Enter in the forenoon or at noon. A benefic in the Lagna or Navamsa Lagna is much preferred.

Vara/Nakshtra Yogas: Asvini on Mars’s Vara, Pushya on Jupiter’s Vara, and Rohini on Saturn’s Vara are unfavorable for entering a new house, though normally forming a beneficial Sarvartha Siddha Yoga.

The time of entering a house must be favorable for the wife. Also, entry into a house should not be done when the wife is pregnant otherwise the result will be disastrous to the wife.

Kumbha “pitcher” Chakra: Beginning from the Nakshtra of the Sun the Nakshtras are thought to take the shape of a pitcher:
Sun’s Nakshtra
East: 2nd, 3rd, 4th & 5th Nakshtras
South: 6th, 7th, 8th & 9th Nakshtras
North: 14th, 15th, 16th & 17th Nakshtras
West: 10th, 11th, 12th & 13th Nakshtras
Belly of the pitcher: 18th, 19th, 20th & 21st Nakshtras
Bottom of the pitcher: 22nd, 23rd & 24th Nakshtras
Neck of the pitcher: 25th, 26th & 27th Nakshtras


If the Moon is in the Nakshtra at the mouth of the pitcher the house will catch fire.
If in the Nakshtras East of the pitcher, the individual will not be able to live in the house.
If in the Nakshtras South of the pitcher, the house will always be full of wealth.
If in the Nakshtras West of the pitcher, the individual will always have prosperity.
If in the Nakshtras North of the pitcher, there will be quarrels and disputes.
If the Nakshtra falls in the belly of the pitcher the individual will suffer destruction.
If the Nakshtra falls in the bottom of the pitcher the individual will live in the house for a long time.
If the Nakshtra falls in the neck of the pitcher the individual will forever live in the house.

Ceremony for Entering: Before entering worship of the seventeen Nakshtras (Asvini, Rohini, Mrigasira, Punarvasu, Pushya, Uttaraphalguni, Hasta, Chitra, Svati, Anuradha, Mula, Uttarashadha, Sravana, Dhanishtha, Satabhisha, Uttarabhadrapada and Revati) and Bhuta Bali should be performed, after which one should enter in the favorable Muhurta taking a pitcher of water with Brahmins ahead of him. The person should enter carrying also an umbrella and flowers to the sound of Vedic mantras, etc. Having entered he should honor the architects, astrologers, those Pundits who know the manner of worshipping Vastu and Bhuta Bali, and citizens, by giving land, gold, clothes etc.
