Categorization of Houses

1. Kendras (1^st, 4^th,7^th,10^th are Quadrants) – The Lagna, the fourth, seventh and the tenth houses from the lagna are called kendras and the lords of those houses are called lords of kendras, wherever they may be placed in a horoscope.

2. Trikonas (1^st,5^th,9^thareTrines) – The lagna and the fifth and the ninth houses from the lagna are trines. The lords of the fifth and ninth houses have been described as trikonas which is a fallacy. The word ‘tri’ in Sanskrit means ‘three’. Thuslagna lord is both a kendra lord and also the trikona lord.

3. Panapharas (2^nd, 5^th, 8^th, 11^th are Cadent) – The second, fifth, the eighth and the eleventh houses are known as panapharas.

4. Apoklimas (3^rd, 6^th,9^th,12^th are Succudent) – The third, sixth, ninth and the twelfth houses are known as apolklima.

Then a special term used is Upachaya house which are the 3rd, 6th, 10th, 11th and their lords.

Lagna is the most important house as it is both quadrant and trine.
