Arudha Lagna: by Pt. Sanjay Rath
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.

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?

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