Use of Arudha Lagna, from
~~
Vedic Astrology: An Integrated Approach, by
P. V. R.
Narasimha Rao www.vedicastrologer.org
"While lagna stands for true self, arudha lagna (AL) stands
for the maya associated with self. It shows the
how the native is perceived in the material world. It shows the
status of the native.
A timid and confused individual may be perceived in the world
as a strong leader. In that case, that is the maya
associated with his personality and AL shows it.
Because arudha lagna deals with maya,
illusions, perceptions and impressions, it is very important in
judging various materialistic things.
For example, Parashara and Jaimini taught that the 11th
and 12th houses from AL show financial gains and
expenditures.
- Natural malefics in the 3rd and 6th houses from AL show
someone who is perceived as a bold person who hits
enemies hard.
Since such impressions are usually formed about
materially successful people, malefics in the 3rd and 6th
from AL make one bold and materially successful.
- Natural benefics in the 3rd and 6th houses from AL make
one very gentle and restrained in public behavior. Such a
person does not fight with others boldly.
- This combination is usually found in the charts of
saints and saintly and mild-natured people.
The 10th house from lagna in D-10 shows one's true conduct
in society. It shows the one's career and the true nature of
one's karma (work).
- The 10th house from AL in D-10 shows perceptions
about one's conduct in society. It deals more with one's
status in career."

Vedic Astrology: An Integrated Approach by P.V.R.
Narasimha Rao, /www.vedicastrologer.org/
Arudha padas of all the 12 houses (bhavas) in
all the divisional charts are defined as follows:
(1) Take sign containing the house of
interest in the divisional chart of interest.
(2) Find the sign occupied by the lord of
that house.
NOTE: Aquarius
is owned by Saturn and Rahu. Scorpio
is owned by Mars and Ketu. Take the stronger lord in the
case of houses falling in these two signs. (...)
(3) Count signs from the house of interest to
the sign containing its lord. Counting is in the zodiacal
direction always.
For example, if the house we are interested in
is in Gemini and its lord Mercury is in Aquarius, we count
signs from Gemini to Aquarius and get 9.
(4) Count the same number of signs from the
sign containing the lord and find the ending sign.
In the above example, we count 9 signs from
Aquarius and we end up in Libra.
(5) Exception: If the sign found
thus in step (4) is in the 1st or 7th from the original sign in
step (1), then we take the 10th sign from the sign found in
step (4).
Otherwise we don't make any change.
(6) The resulting sign contains the arudha
pada of the house of interest."
|
The "exception" causes a
lot of trouble for beginners. Here is another explanation:
-
The Arudha Pada cannot be in the
starting rashi, nor in the 7th-from starting rashi.
-
If, after normal step-wise counting, the
arudha lagna ends up in either the starting rashi or 7th-from the starting
rashi, then take one extra step.
-
The extra step = jump 10 rashi forward.
-
E.g., if the lagnesha of the 'house of
interest' occupies domain-4, then 4th-from-4th = domain-7.
-
The rule = arudha lagna can never be 7th-from-starting rashi.
-
So, jump 10 houses forward from the 7th
house = domain-4 again.
-
Lagna pada in this case = domain-4.

Digital Sanskrit Lexicon |
O Brahmin, now I tell you about Upa
Pada, the auspiciousness of which will confer on the native happiness from progeny, wife etc.
The
Pada of Lagna, as discussed earlier, is of prime importance.
Upa
Pada is calculated for the Bhava, following the natal Lagna.
This Upa
Pada is also called
Gauna Pada.
O excellent of the Brahmins, if Upa
Pada is yuti with, or receives a Drishti from a benefic Graha,
Should the Upa
Pada be in the rashi of a malefic, or receives a Drishti from, or is yuti with a malefic,
If (in the said circumstances) there be a
benefic Drishti (on Upa Pada, or the related malefic), or a yuti,
In this case
Surya, being exalted, or in a friendly Rashi, is not a malefic.
He is a malefic, if in debilitation, or in an enemy's
Rashi. |
|

[Translator's
Notes. Regarding Upa Pada calculations, there are more than two views on the same
Shloka of Maharishi Parashara, or an identical Sutra from Jaimini.
In this text, the word
'Anuchara' is used, which denotes 'the Bhava, following the Lagna at birth'.
Normally this is Vyaya Bhava.
However, when we study other commentaries on Jaimini (Chaukhambha Hindi edition), we are taught, that
it is
Vyaya Bhava in the case of an odd Rashi ascending and
it is
Dhana Bhava in the case of an even
Rashi ascending.
Accordingly the
Pada for the 12th, or the 2nd from Lagna is called Upa Pada.
In calculating Upa
Pada the rules mentioned in verses 4 and 5 of the previous chapter be kept in mind.] |

Effect from the
2nd from Upa Pada:
If the 2nd from Upa
Pada is a
benefic Rashi, or receives a Drishti from, or is yuti with a
benefic,
If, in the 2nd from Upa
Pada , there is a Graha in its
debilitation Rashi, or debilitation Amsha, or is yuti with a debilitated, or malefic
Graha,
If the said occupant be in its exaltation
Rashi, or Navamsha, or receives a Drishti from another Graha,
Oh Brahmin,
if Mithuna happens to be the 2nd from Upa Pada,
O excellent of the Brahmins, if the Upa
Pada, or the 2nd there from be occupied by its own Lord, or, if the said Lord is in his other own Bhava,

If a Graha being constant indicator of wife (i.e. the 7th Lord, or
Shukra) is in its own Bhava,
If the
Lord of Upa Pada, or the constant significator of wife, is in exaltation,
the wife will be from a noble family.
O Brahmin, if the
2nd from Upa Pada is related to a benefic,
Should Shani + Rahu be in the 2nd from Upa
Pada,
if Shukra + Ketu are in the 2nd from Upa
Pada,
Budha + Rahu in the 2nd from Upa Pad
If the 2nd from Upa Pada happens to a rashi of
Budha and is tenanted by
Mangala + Shani,
Similarly a Rashi of Mangala, becoming the 2nd from Upa
Pada and occupied by
Mangala + Shani,
Guru + Shani will, if be in the 2nd from Upa Pad,
If Budha + Mangala are placed in the 2nd from Upa
Pada other than a rashi of Budha or Kuja, or, if
Rahu + Guru in the 2nd from Upa Pada,
Shani + Rahu together in a rashi of Shani, which is the 2nd from Upa
Pada,
These evils will not come to pass,
-
if a benefic is Yuti,

or a Drishti from a benefic,
-
or from another benefic in the case of affliction being caused by a benefic
himself.

A-1: Arudha
lagna / Lagna pada
-
...reveals how Others perceive one's
personality. It shows how one projects one's own illusion or 'glamour' into the world.
-
If the lord of the arudha lagna is
favorable, these projections are well received in the minds of others.
-
Famous persons and Entertainers frequently have highly
favorable lords of A-1.
-
The lagna pada = arudha lagna is a good key to finding out
how a person is perceived by the outside world. While the lagna may give a
good profile of physical appearance, the arudha lagna shows the native's psychic
projection upon others - how the native strikes the minds of others.
-
If the arudha lagna is favorable, even a person with a
poorly supported rashi lagna can be quite successful, getting job promotions
& celebrity recognition etc. Arudha means illusion or image.
-
If the radix lagna itself is strong and vibrant but the lagna pada is weak, even quite a
remarkably vital and attractive person will be missed by the public.
-
The more interesting cases are people who rather unaccountably
become celebrities. These folks experience their image being broadcast day and night over all media - their personal goings-on
becomes of great interest to the common herd. Such people frequent have
a a powerful lagna-pada. Their celebrity periods, often flash-in-the-pan,
are expected during the bhukti of their lord of lagna-pada, called the
karakamsha.
-
Similarly, Dhana pada shows how others perceive one's
wealth.
-
A person might be buried in consumer debt or paying
huge medical loans or tax liens - but if A-2 is favorable, they could still
be looking/acting wealthy. A-2 which contrasts favorably with the
realities of actual house-2 is common in westerners who become "house
poor" after buying a home that is too expensive for their income, or
folks who become "car poor" after buying a prestige vehicle that
looks good but leaves them without grocery money!
-
And so forth for the other arudha lagnas. Check
for disparities, if the person seems to be faking it or living a lie of some
type, you will see the gap between reality and illusion by checking the arudha
lagna for the house in question.
A-7 Dara pada or kalatra pada shows the glamour or
charm of the spouse's personality, what people think of one's husband or
wife.
-
Perhaps the native has married a person of high moral
caliber who nevertheless lacks some social graces. The general public may,
if the A-7 is poorly situated, have a lower opinion of such a spouse than is
truly warranted - and the native may suffer on this account.
-
By contrast some people find it difficult to sue for
divorce when, despite their deep unhappiness in their marriage, their spouse
is well thought-of in their community. This dilemma would also show up
in the gap between A-7 and the reality of kalatra bhava and L-7.
-
"Dara" means "wife".
Darapada is the arudha lagna of the
radix seventh house. Darapada tells about the physical communion of the
marriage, which is mainly the physical lovemaking.
-
Consideration of
upapada and darapada are especially valuable for understanding the conditions
applying in marriage and the behavior of the spouse.
The arudha lagnas of the bhavas reveal the illusions, or what
the sleepwalking public believes, about the goings-on of the bhava. One of
the most important meanings of the dara-pada is therefore the illusory purpose
of marriage which is physical sexuality.
Dara-pada can be analyzed to distinguish the
physical dimension of marriage and describe how the spouse behaves physically
(affectionate, passionate, or withholding, distant). The physical
dimension of marriage whilst often demeaned in body-reviling cultures as
inferior or delusory, is in fact absolutely key to marital well-being.
There must be bona fide affection between the spouses in order for marriage to
succeed.
-
To find the dara-pada, count from
yuvati
bhava to the lord of yuvati.
-
Then count the same number of houses
forward again, to reach the dara-pada. (see example
below)
-
If L-7 is in swakshetra (his own house) then darapada = house-10.
Darapada for second spouse
Darapada for the
second spouse counts from dhana bhava
to L-2. Then count the same number of houses forward again, to reach the
second-marriage dara-pada.
A-12
= Upa pada or Vyaya pada is the
second-most-consulted arudha lagna.
A-12 shows the glamour or
charm of the native's marriage, seen by the minds of others. It shows
what people believe about the native's marriage -- which may be quite different
from what is really going on.
Nativities of politicians, business people, and others in
public life who successfully project a loving marriage upon the public
consciousness, frequently have a strong A-12.
Given the stresses of public life
and a certain narcissism that accompanies iconic leadership positions, there is
frequently a wide gap between illusion and reality for high-profile public
figures.
Natives who enjoys a powerful upapada can make the public believe that
everything is fine with his marriage,
even when the partners are long separated. According to Sanjay Rath,
this native may announce his divorce
long after a physical separation, in the period of 2nd-from-upapada.
Upapada is the arudha lagna of the twelfth house.
It shows the public impression of your marriage.
Consideration of
upapada and darapada are especially valuable for understanding the dynamics of a
marriage. It is often said that Upa-pada represents "the institution
of marriage" as practiced by the couple (with all the inherent conflict
institutionalized into a stable format that Vyaya sthana being 6th-from-7th does
imply).
To find the upa-pada, count the houses starting from
vyaya bhava
going forward to the twelfth-lord. Then count the same number of houses
forward again, to reach the upa-pada. (see example below)
(Married couples who are secretly miserable whilst
enjoying a smooth public presentation, as is so common in the instrumental
marriages of politicians and senior executives, will often display a successful
upapada but trouble appears in darapada.)
Lagna padas are a component of the Jaimini system of Jyotisha. While some
purists say that Jaimini aspects & techniques should not be mingled with
Parashari practices, many Parashari practitioners use Jaimini concepts like
arudha lagna quite seamlessly, and with no problems.
(This debate is yet another ill effect of the medieval
skewing of Jyotisha
transmissions. If the gods are with us many of these assertions shall be
proven or disproven via modern textual research, within the next generation.)
 Nativity

Arudha lagnas, calculated for all 12 radix & navamsha houses.
The charts at right were produced using the *free*
Jagannatha Hora software package, by Shri Narasimha Rao
Find
arudha lagnas in this example radix:
LAGNA-PADA - L-1 Kuja occupies the 4th-house
-
Count 4 houses from lagna to lagnesha = Kuja in
bandhu bhava (4th).
-
Then, starting in 4th-house, count
again, 4 houses forward.
-
Arrive in house-7. Yuvati bhava is the lagna-pada, so apply the jump-10-more rule:
-
*If lagna-pada = house-7 (lagnesha in house-4 or house-10)
the arudha lagna becomes house-4 = "AL"
UPAPADA = L-12 Shukra occupies the 8th-house
-
Count nine houses from vyaya bhava (12th) to L-12
Shukra, in
randhra sthana (8th).
-
Then, starting in 8th-house, count
again, nine houses forward.
-
Arrive in house-4. Bandhu bhava = upapada ="A-12"
= "UL"
-
Lord of house-8 = uchcha Budha. In general,
the public will have a favorable impression of the marriage.
DARA PADA = L-7 Shukra occupies
house-8
-
Count two houses from yuvati bhava (7th) to
randhra sthana (8th).
-
Then, starting in 8th-house, count forward two
again
-
Arrive in dharma bhava, the 9th
house. Dharma sthana = darapada = "A-7"
-
Lord of Pitristhana = Chandra (who is
favorably disposed in D-1 and lord of D-9). In general, the
public will have a favorable opinion of the spouse.
Darapada for 2nd marriage = L2
Guru occupies house-10:
-
Start in dhana bhava, the house of
the 2nd spouse. Count nine houses from house-2 to house-10.
-
Then, restarting in karmaa bhava,
count again nine houses forward.
-
Arrive in 6th-house. Darapada for the second spouse is Ari Bhava.
-
Lord of Ari Bhava is Kuja. Kuja is a
complex graha in this nativity due to his unfavorable status in Shani's rashi,
yet benefiting from parivartana with Shani and receiving the strengthening
drishti from 2 friends Surya & Guru.
Therefore the public will perceive the 2nd spouse
to be a complex person, a mix of favorable & unfavorable public
opinion which varies according to the role the spouse is playing for the
public, at the time.
If
the 11th from the Lagna Pada is occupied or
receives aspect from a planet the native will be happy and rich ... if the planet
be in exaltation or own rashi, there will be plenty of gains and plenty of
happiness. --
Brihat
Parashara Hora Shastra Ch. 29, Shloka 8-11
When the 11th from arudha lagna
has a planet or is aspected by a planet, the native becomes prosperous &

and harmony between husband and wife."
~~ Jaimini Sutram (Upadesha
Sutra) Chapter 1 Shloka 20
[BPL: the only disturbance to marital
harmony occurs when arudha of the seventh house is in domain-2, 6, 8, or 12.]
If the arudha lagna and the arudha of the seventh (dara pada) are mutually in 6, 8, 12 houses, there can be no mutual harmony between husband and wife. They will always be inimical.
~~ Jaimini Sutram (Upadesha

Q: Namaskar.
I read the few texts of UL lord of Rashi from Shri Sanjay Rath's
articles and other sources. Rule1: If Lord of UL is exalted in D-9 or Rashi it
shows partner from high status family.
Rule 2: If Lord of UL is debilitated, in D-9 or Rashi, the partner comes
from poor status.
In my case UL lord Venus (Libra) of Rashi is debilitated in D-9. What
does it imply? I am bit confused by these Jaimini Sutras.
Also, if L-7 is considered or L-8 is considered they are exalted in rashi
and D-9 respectively.
How to ascertain the difference from two techniques.?
A:
Namaste
The basis of both Parashari and Jaimini Jyotisha (which are complementary
and not contradictory!) is the concept
of the Karaka.
When looking for "implication" I.e. the spiritual, mental,
emotional, or material effect of a karaka, I find it helpful to return to the
original karaka.
The Upapada lagna is an expression of domain-12. Upa Pada Lagna = arudha of
the radix 12th rashi. (In some traditions, UL is calculated from dhana bhava
for even rashi radix lagna.)
Domain-12 represents the previous lifetime. The previous lifetime is not
"finished". Like all other lifetimes past and present, the
"previous" lifetime is ongoing in the astral plane, which is a world
not controlled by time and space rules. There are no clocks on the astral
plane, and there are no barriers or boundaries. On the astral plane, you can
put your hand right through a steel wall, and there are no sequences such as
before-and-after. Everything happens simultaneously.
(Domain-2 represents the next future lifetime.)
The UL represents those conditions carrying forward from previous
lifetimes, which are extremely vivid memories stored in the subconscious.
These memories are quite "near" or "close-by" (upa) and
these memories or subconscious expectations manifest as the psychic influence
of those who are close-by in our lives. Traditionally, the spouse is the
'closest person" in life, one's most intimate mirror. (But of course
there are many exceptions to this tradition and some marriage partners are
quite distant.) The spousal agreement was made on the astral plane a long time
before the present lifetime, and the spouses know a great deal about each
other's subconscious reality (not necessarily conscious knowledge, but
intuitively one recognizes the spouse's imagination and understands their
dreams often better than they do themselves.)
Vyaya bhava is the house of private imagination, meditative reflection,
dreams, and foreign travel. It is the domain of the loss of separate physical
identity, and the loss of social ego-recognition. It is that part of our lives
conducted primarily during sleep, in the dream state, and of course the person
'closest' to one in the dream state is typically the adult spouse who is
sleeping only inches away. What happens in domain-12 is that in the dream
state, the native is traveling the pathways of the astral worlds. Dreams are
active, dreams are busy, dreams are purposeful and informative -- for those
who can read the dream information, anyway! And those who remember their
dreams report that they "saw" their future spouse in their dreams
(or waking meditations) whether that vision was a material form or a psychic
vibration, perhaps a tone or a color-pattern. However for those who have an
adequately sensitive perceptual apparatus that is focused on the radar screen
of domain-12, pre-knowledge of soon-to-materialize persons and events is
readily available.
So... just remember that the *baseline for interpretation of the UL* is
domain-12 and its function in human life. In particular, the UL influences the
manifestation of the Most Intimate Partner (the nearest one) but in general
all of the near-by people, such as family members, essential teachers,
romantic lovers, will all emerge from the subconscious programming established
in the previous life. Look closely into the dream imagery and you will see
that all these people are very familiar!
Pt. Narasimha Rao says "The second most important Arudha is the
Upapada Lagna (the Arudha of the 12th house). Upa means near or relating to
(as well as giving and ornament), and is calculated from the sign near and
related to the lagna and shows the person who ends up near and relating to
you." http://shrifreedom.org/jyotishArudhaUL.shtml

BPHS 13-22.
- If a Graha being constant indicator of wife (i.e. the 7th Lord, or Shukra)
is in its own Bhava,
- there will be loss of wife only at a later stage.
- If the Lord of Upa Padaa, or the constant significator of wife, is in
exaltation, the wife will be from a noble family. [BPL note: 'constant
significator of wife' = Shukra]
- Reverse will be the case, if the lord is debilitated.
- O Brahmin, if the 2nd from Upa Padaa is related to a benefic,
- the wife will be beautiful, fortunate and virtuous.
- Should Shani + Rahu be in the 2nd from Upa Padaa,
- the native will lose his wife on account of calumny, or through death.
- if Shukra + Ketu are in the 2nd from Upa Padaa,
- the native's wife will be troubled by disorder of blood, leucorrhoea (Pradar)
etc.
- Budha + Rahu in the 2nd from Upa Pad
- will give a stout-bodied wife.
- If the 2nd from Upa Padaa happens to a rashi of Budha and is tenanted by
Mangala + Shani,
- the wife of the native will suffer from nasal disorders.
- Similarly a Rashi of Mangala, becoming the 2nd from Upa Padaa and occupied
by Mangala + Shani,
- will cause nasal disorders to one's wife.
- Guru + Shani will, if be in the 2nd from Upa Pad,
- cause disorders of ears and/or eyes to the wife.
- If Budha + Mangala are placed in the 2nd from Upa Padaa other than a rashi
of Budha or Kuja, or, if Rahu + Guru in the 2nd from Upa Padaa,
- the native's wife will suffer from dental disorders.
- Shani + Rahu together in a rashi of Shani, which is the 2nd from Upa Pada,
- will cause lameness, or windy disorders to the native's wife.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These evils will not come to pass,
- if a benefic is Yuti,
- or a Drishti from a benefic,
- or from another benefic in the case of affliction being caused by a benefic
himself.

What is the basis of these claims from Parashara?
The UL = the arudha, or public-perceived aura, of the lord of the twelfth
house (vyaya pathi) . The UL is generating a perceptual veil or Maya which
gives a particular appearance to the public audience regarding "those who
are near one".
The nearest, most intimate ones for the child are members of one's family
of origin. In adult life, the nearest one is traditionally the spouse. But if
the marriage is not functioning well, one's psychic "nearness" to
one's own family remains much more clear & vivid than one's comprehension
of the spouse... Anyway, family of origin are the "nearest ones"
either previous to marriage or sometimes for the duration of the life.
Therefore, one of the results we can assess from the quality of the UL, is
a measurement of the public aura surrounding the birth (or adoptive) family.
2nd-from-UpaPada = the public perception of the death of the Near One
/wealth of the Near One / face of the Near One / family-of-origin of the Near
One.
If all this reasoning about arudha lagna holds true (and I believe it does
when properly understood on the basis of domain-12) then the disposition of
the UL in D-1 and D-9 should give a reading on the public perception of the
*social rank and appearance* of one's "near ones" or intimates.
These intimates include one's family of origin, one's spouse, and anyone else
whom one would sleep with.
(BTW, to get accurate results it is necessary to avoid cultural
prescription approved sleeping partners. We have to stick to the signification
of "near one". If the native is sleeping with someone who is not
family or spouse, then UL refers to that unconventional "near one"
also.)
Thus if UL = an uchcha graha, the (public imagery of the) social rank of
the spouse is exalted, I.e., from a noble family.
If the UL = a neechcha graha, the (public imagery of the) social rank of
the spouse is debilitated, I.e., from a poor family.
---------------------------------------
To calculate the UL from odd rashi radix lagna, start counting from vyaya
bhava To calculate the UL from even rashi radix lagna, start counting from
dhana bhava
Why do we put so much emphasis on Arudha positions? Can't we judge
accurately from radix and navamsha directly?
Yes and no.
Yes for a few people, no for most people.
Most people are extremely vulnerable to public opinion. Most people have
weak boundaries between True Self (atma) which is the direct expression of
Divine Law, and False Self which is the ego-shell created to deal with Human
Law and the Material World: that is, the physical body & the social
personality with all of its rank/entitlement functions.
Most people are not aware that they are being 24/7 bombarded with the
uncontrolled stream of imagery from everyone & everything in their
environment, including the electronic media. Therefore most people live their
lives in a state of false consciousness, which is actually a rather unhappy
state, functioning as nothing more than the sum total of all that swirling,
attacking, saturating, environmental imagery... and those people ARE their
arudhas.
Some people have better boundary skills. Some people can distinguish
between imagery flowing from one's own dharmic awareness, I.e., leading toward
personal manifestation of divine law, versus the random storming imagery of
the beings in one's environment. (Including beings who do not have human
bodies, I.e. spirits.) For these people, public opinion is of relatively
little consequence. These people are best described by D-9, and one of the
signature features of this type of Jyotisha nativity is that there is a strong
correlation between D-1 and D-9, usually with abundance of vargottama graha
and compatible rashis on the trine points. But don't be tricked into thinking
that these rare folk who are following a dharmic path are all "good"
people. They are not concerned so much with human law, they are following a
loud clarion call from the divine, and what they are doing while not being
much influenced by the imagery of meddlesome Others may look from the point of
view of Human Law as immoral or even terribly, unspeakably wrong. The
nativities of several brutally murderous dictators from the 20th century
attest to this fact.
In any case, the individuals who are less vulnerable to having one's
experiences in life directed or even defined by other people's
imagery/thoughts/expectations/projections are extremely rare. Normal people,
sleepwalking through their existence, grasp for material acquisitions and
sensual pleasure (Shukra), gasp, and die. Their lives are easy to track and
easy to predict. They are very much the product of their arudhas. And their
marriage is very much defined by the UpaPada Lagna.

"Q. 77
--What are the different kinds of
Arudhas ?
Ans.
Jaimini emphasizes 12 Arudhas :Lagna
Arudha, Dhana-arudha, Vikram-arudha etc.. . one for each Bhava.
Arudhas are to be determined as follows :
Note where the lord of the ascendant
stands and count as many signs from this Rasi as the ascendant
lord is removed from the ascendant.
Similarly note where the lord of 2 is from
the 2nd house and the number of Rasis passed by him. Calculate
the same number from the Rasi occupied by the lord of 2.
In the same way work for other 'houses'
and we get
