In astrology, each planet and house represents something. They have particular characteristics that might have a positive or negative impact on the person. Planets, signs, and houses in astrology do not act in isolation; they are all interdependent and contribute to bringing about change in a person’s life.

The entire system of astrology is based on nine planets, twelve signs, twenty-seven Nakshatras, and twelve houses which are also called as “Bhava”.   Any prediction is done based on permutations and combinations of these factors.  So, to provide life forecast an astrologer will look at the placements of several planets, signs, and houses at the time of your birth and compare them to their current positions.
