How the 13 families serve each aim. Jyotish reads all four; Ayurveda is the root beneath them.
The twelve houses form four trikonas, one per aim. A chart shows which aim is strong or weak, and when each is activated.
Right living, duty and purpose
Wealth, work and security
Love, joy and fulfilled desire
Freedom and self-realisation
Without health, no aim can be pursued. Daily and seasonal routines are the ground every other method stands on.
Career, money, marriage, home: the questions people bring first.
Daily breath and meditation practice carries them toward purpose and freedom.
The trikonas show which aim needs attention, while health is the ground every aim stands on.
Twelve families support joy and wellbeing, half of them in a supporting role: a side effect of a well-ordered life.
Breath, yoga, sound and philosophy lead here. Most people arrive through Artha and Kama and grow toward it.
