Planets in signs and houses Arudha Lagna(AL)-Pt.Sanjay Rath

 

Arudha lagna By Pt. Sanjay Rath

Arudha Lagna - The Personal image 1. Arudha lagna (AL) is the image of a person (or any body) which is the reflection of the ascendant about the lord of the ascendant. The ascendant is the physical personality & intelligence while the ascendant lord is the applied intelligence (Paka lagna). The arudha shows the way we are viewed in this world due to our overall personality and resources as well as due to its use and modifications. 2. There are arudha for each of the twelve houses and they represent the images that exist in our minds. For example, the arudha of the fourth house represents the home environment at childhood. If this is in a sign of Venus then it indicates a strong presence of mother and her family in shaping childhood. 3. The arudha lagna represents the final record of all events of ones life that form the image of the person. This implies images of other houses adding to the image of AL. Impact of darapada (A7) is crucial for relationships, finances and social success.

Planets & the arudha lagna

Moon is the significator of AL. Planets like Moon & Jupiter who have a good reputation associating with arudha lagna protect the reputation and image while planets like Saturn & Rahu with a bad name spoil the image. In general the relationship of planets with the Moon determines their ability to influence the arudha in a good or bad manner. The status of the arudha lagna lord is the status of the native. Planets exalted in the arudha lagna or the 7th from it promise reputation and success in their fields as well as consequent good fortune. Debilitated planets in arudha ruin the image. Benefic planets in the 1, 2, 4, 5, 7 & 8 houses and malefic planets in 3 & 6 houses give good results if they are strong in rasi & navamsa. Instead if the planets are weak in debility in the rasi or navamsa, the results will be contrary. On the other hand, weak benefic planets in the 3 & 6 houses from arudha lagna give rajayoga. The tenth house is good for benefic planets only and even exalted malefic planets in this house cause trouble. Any planet in the 9th house from arudha lagna gives good results and protects the image while they give good income in the 11th house and losses and expenses in the 12th.

Birth family & arudha

Further reading Co-born: Younger co-born from 3rd house & lord and elders from 11th house and lord. Children from the 9th house from Upapada Protector from the 9th house from arudha lagna¦and so on.

Transits & arudha

Transit of Saturn in the 1st, 4th, 8th & 10th houses from lagna and arudha are inauspicious. Transit of Jupiter in quadrants from arudha lagna is a blessing. Transit of Rahu in trines to arudha lagna gives rajayoga and material blessings while that of Ketu in trines is excellent for spiritual pursuits and renunciation. The Sun & Moon in trines to any arudha causes it to manifest

Change of image with time 1. The image or arudha is maya or untruth and cannot be permanent. It changes with time based on dasa. 2. Every dasa affects the arudha by (1) house placement from it and (2) argala (planetary intervention) 3. Narayana dasa, Vimsottari dasa and other such methods of progression are useful tools to decipher the changes in image. 4. Natural years of carakaraka replacement also cause major changes in the arudha. 5. Change in jobs, attainment of position and authority, marriage and various other events cause changes in the image depending on the association of their respective images with the arudha lagna. 6. Study dasa from standard texts.

Meaning & Concept of Arudha 1. Rasi/Bhava Arudha o Mirror image i.e. image of person in this world is his Arudha Lagna, Image of mother is A4, Father is A9 and so on. o How do these images intervene with his image? Argala & Virodhargala

2. Graha Arudha o Image of other people

Calculation Arudha Pada of the various houses o Riders (a)Swasthe Daraha, (b) Sutasthe Janma o Rules for dual Lordship

Graha Arudha of Various houses o Rules for dual lordship shall apply o Many like my grandfather used both Graha Arudha

Nomenclature

1. Bhava Arudha – 1st house: Arudha Lagna, Lagna Pada, Pada – AL, 2nd house: Dhana Pada; etc. till Upapada –UL,

2. Graha Arudha –Ravi pada, Chandra pada, Guru Meena pada etc.. are used in the nadi literature. What do they mean?

3. How to draw the Rasi & Graha Arudha Chakra?

• Rasi Arudha Chakra has true Graha positions. Thus it is the interaction of the images of his personal self and others close to him with the world. It shows how the world perceives you and how the world around you shall react to what you do.

• Graha Arudha Chakra has true Bhava positions. Thus it is the interaction of the images of the various people as perceived by the native on himself. It shows how you perceive the world around you and how you will react to the various environmental inputs.

Focus on Rasi arudha Chakra REsults

1. Results of planets in different houses from AL:

• Generally benefics in 1,2,4,5,7,8,10, and malefics in 3,6 & 12 indicate Rajyoga.

• Reverse shall occur when these planets are debilitated in Navamsa i.e. Vipareeta Rajyoga/neecha Yoga can occur.

• All planets, and even an Upagraha is beneficial in the ninth and shows prosperity and protection. It should be used for protecting your image.

• All planets in 11 show sources on income & in 12 show sources of expenditure.

• Malefics in 6 show corruption while benefics show honest income.

• Moon is the Karaka for AL.

• Planets in 7 & 12 show those who shall oppose you/ cheat you at home

2. Results of planets in different houses from Upapada.

• Just like the above, but the sun is Karaka and is always beneficial to UL.

• Exalted planets in UL, show spouse from a well known family; if debilitated reverse holds good; if none then the lord of UL shall show the status of spouse’s family.

Best Wishes

Atmakaraka & Karakamsa

 

Kārakāṁśa is composed of two words – (1) ‘kāraka’ referring to the ātmakāraka specifically and other Charakāraka (temporal significators) as well and (2) ‘aṁśa’ referring to the navāṁśa and other divisional charts. Kārakāṁśa refers to the navāṁśa (and/or other divisional charts) where the ātmakāraka is placed and such a sign is treated as the kārakāṁśa-lagna or seat of the real self, the soul and the first house for determining all things connected to deep inner desires and creation cause itself.

Definitions

The sign/navāṁśa occupied by the ātmakāraka gives us a clue as to the desire of the ātman and the nature of the ātmakāraka gives us vital information about the nature of the ātman, its spiritual development etc. Some of my experiences are listed below:

1. If a malefic planet is the ātmakāraka, it indicates a high level of spiritual development whereas a benefic planet as the ātmakāraka indicates a relatively lower level. Example: Rāhu was the ātmakāraka for Srila Prabhupada and Ramakrishna Paramhaṁśa.
2. The ātmakāraka invariably indicates suffering during its Vimśottari daśā, especially if a malefic. During the Nārāyaṇa daśā of the sign occupied by the ātmakāraka or those aspecting it, great achievements are made. If the native is spiritually inclined then the daśā of the ātmakāraka can be beneficial.
3. A retrograde ātmakāraka indicates a deep-rooted desire as being the cause of the birth. This has to be seen from the nature of the planet which becomes the AK. For example, if Mars is AK and retrograde, then there is a very strong desire related to succeeding in some battle or competition in this planet and the native will be dragged into innumerable fights and will be fighting all the time. The solution lies in finding the best self defense strategies based on Kārakāṁśa of which, Ahimsa is the greatest. Similarly, if Saturn is the retrograde AK then the desire would manifest in the native doing something related to the elders or old knowledge in new bottles. When retrograde, this desire is very strong and will be the cause of all direction in life. The other signification of Saturn is sorrow and if the native gives sorrow to others, especially elders and those who are like Guru, then know that he is running a bad time and a lot of sorrow is in his destiny (in any case). The best remedy for him would be to develop a stoic attitude towards the acts and words of others and keep prodding in his path. In this manner, the retrogression is to be understood.
4. Combustion of AK gives spiritual insight.

Planets as ātmakāraka: 

1.       Sun as AK indicates the native has to learn to overcome his ego and should become humble.

2.       Moon as AK indicates that the native should be very caring and compassionate.

3.       Mars as AK indicates that the native should refrain from all forms of violence and stick to the path of Ahimsa.

KP House Grouping

 

House Grouping

Not single but multiple houses play role in any event of life. In KP terminology, these groups of houses for the event is called "House Group". This is also referred as Formula by some KP astrologers. In the table below we need to combine primary houses and supporting houses to come up with the house grouping for the event. For example, event "Good health" has 1,11 as house group. Event "Proneness of disease" has house group 1, 6, 8, 12.  There are two uses of the House Grouping table below - 1. Knowing whether the event is promised in one's chart or not If the cuspal sub lord of primary house signifies primary and supporting houses, the event is promised. Please read "Chapter 2: Fundamental Principles" to get better understanding.  2. When the event will happen   Events happens when the planet-lords of current dasa (dasa lord, antardasa lord, pratyantardasa lord, sookshma lord etc.) signifies house group. For example, one has "Good health" when one passes through dasa of the planets signifies houses 1,11. Similarly, "Proneness to disease" happens when one passes through dasa of the planets signifies 1,6,8,12. Again, please read "Chapter 2: Fundamental Principles" to get better understanding.  1.  Events relating First House.
