Thoughts on the All-Important Arudha Lagna (AL)


THOUGHTS ON THE ALL IMPORTANT ĀRŪḌHA/ ARUDHA LAGNA-

The Arudha Lagna is calculated based on some exceptions. But the exceptions are flouted for some time. The Arudha Lagna cannot be in the Lagna or the 7th Bhava from the Lagna as these are Satyapeetha/ the seats of truth and Arudha Lagna (AL) cannot tenant these Bhavas because it pertains to the world of appearance. But if the Al were to fall in the Lagna or the 7th House, it is not as if that is an absolute impossibility in toto.

The AL will come to these houses but it is not stable here. A tenuous image will be established. But it will go away, to where it can be stable. This temporary coming and permanent going away can cause instability and changes.

Of equal importance and fascination, if not more, is the coming of the AL to the 7th Bhava from the Arudha Lagna, if this 7th House is stronger than the AL itself. The 7th from the AL is the door to the manifest world and when the AL comes to this place functionally, this would imply that while coming through the doorway, we have imbibed the qualities that we had to encounter and cross so that we become them.

If the Arudha falls in the quadrants to the Lagna, then the transformations can be life altering.

These are crucial factors in evaluating the lives of human beings.

A BRIEF LOOK AT THE TWELVE LAGNAS/ ASCENDANTS IN VEDIC ASTROLOGY

People are often curious at the beginning of their astrological quest, to know something of the various facets pertaining to their ‘chart’; in other words, they wish to evaluate the basic propensities pertaining to their Lagnas and their Rashi/ Lagna Kundalis (Kundalis). Also, the Chandra Lagna itself and Gochar furnish other popular areas of curiosity. Lagna is the sign rising on the Eastern horizon at the time of birth and is occupied by a Rāśi (Rashi)/ Vedic sign. The average duration of a sign rising in the Lagna/ Ascendant is two hours and for this reason the twelve Rāśis cover the twenty-four hours duration of the solar day. ( Basic Jyotiṣa principles can be accessed by clicking this link ) Lagna imbues a person with individuality and therefore denotes the self and the personality of the person. It is the first house or Bhāva of the chart and is the commencement point of any horoscopic study. We cannot forget that in all the divisional charts as well there is a Lagna/ asc

A METHODOLOGY FOR VEDIC CHART INTERPRETATION

The following is an attempt to lay down a general method to conduct professional chart analysis. It appears to have worked well for the author in his practice. Notably though, it need not be the best way to interpret charts and the astrologer must find her own way when it comes to developing a structure with which to unravel any given chart. Some of the more general features of interpretation are being omitted for fear of the paper becoming unwieldy but certain crucial aspects of Jyotish interpretation are being explained since these are not very widely used. The author is indebted to the works of Pt. Sanjay Rath, author, scholar and Jyotish Guru of Sri Jagannath Center. It is through assimilating the writings of Pt. Rath that the author has been able to progress from the fundamentals of Jyotish to a somewhat deeper understanding. ARUDHA PADAS: The houses as reckoned from the Lagna/ Ascendant reveal the truth about the native. This is metaphysical reality as distinguished from precipit
