A first look at the lesson
The four kendras (1, 4, 7, 10) are the pillars of the chart: grahas there act strongly and are seen in the world. The three trikonas (1, 5, 9) are the houses of fortune and dharma. The 1st house is both.
The three dusthanas (6, 8, 12) are the difficult houses: illness, sudden events, loss. The four upachayas (3, 6, 10, 11) are the houses of growth: what is there improves with time and effort, and malefics do well in them.
