Bādhaka – The Hidden Karmic Blocks in Your Birth Chart
In Vedic astrology, we often look at Doshās, planetary transits, and yogas to understand the challenges in our lives. But did you know that your birth chart also contains a hidden karmic block that influences your life’s struggles? This is known as Bādhaka—the unseen force that creates obstacles, delays, and mental roadblocks.
But here’s the good news: once you identify your Bādhaka, you can work towards overcoming it.
With the Bādhaka feature in the Cosmic Insights app, you can instantly find out what is blocking you and how to resolve it.
What is Bādhaka in Vedic Astrology?
The word Bādhaka means obstruction or hindrance. Every sign in your birth chart has a Bādhaka sign, which creates challenges in specific areas of life. These obstacles can appear in two forms:
- Physical Obstacles (Janma Lagna – Ascendant) → Issues that affect your daily life, career, and actions.
- Mental Blocks (Chandra Lagna – Moon Sign) → Challenges that impact your thoughts, emotions, and mindset.
- Movable (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn) → Bādhaka is the 11th house.
- Fixed (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) → Bādhaka is the 9th house.
- Dual (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces) → Bādhaka is the 7th house.
How Bādhaka Affects Your Life
Each rising sign faces unique Bādhaka challenges.
The Cosmic Insights App gives you insights about your Badhaka challenges and insights on how to overcome them.
