In Western Astrology Bhāva are called houses.
The first house is the house which rises on the Eastern Horizon you will see a sole Rashi rising (Ascending).

The first house is the Rashi which is rising from the east.
The forth house is below the horizon and it is right below the feet. In Western Astrology, it is called Nadir.
The Seventh House is the Rashi which is setting down the west, going below the horizon.
The Tenth House is above the horizon and it is on the top of our head. In Western Astrology, it is called Zenith.

The first house represents the yourself, your characteristics, your nature etc. It is your Dharma.

The fourth house is the lowest point of yourself. It is Moksha or The Liberation.

The 7th house is the opposite of the 1st house representing your interactions with the outside world. It is Kama. (your desires)
