The Twelve Houses (Bhavas)
Each bhava governs a domain of life — from identity to liberation. In the StarGarden, every bed maps to both a sign and its paired house, so the garden teaches the full arc of human experience.
Each of the twelve beds in the StarGarden maps to one of these houses — and to the sign that shares it. Start with the domain of life you most want to tend.
Pick the one domain of life you most want to tend, and grow its bed first.
