An Arudha Pada Shows...

Maya - illusion Arudha means risen one What rises and manifests materially Is the only thing that we can see (tangible things relating to the house matters)!! Abilities vs measures of ability (scores, awards, trophies etc) - which one can we see? Which one rises in the material world?

Arudha Lagna Shows...

Lagna = self (true self) Arudha Lagna (AL) = perceived self Image of a person - perceptions Material status What do houses from AL show? 5th from lagna vs 5th from AL vs A5

Houses from AL
1st, 5th, 9th: Dharma trikonas of image Protection of image - 9th from AL 7th from AL: Opposition to image 2nd and 8th from AL: Resources 3rd and 6th from AL: Growth of image 10th from AL: Karma of image 11th & 12th from AL: Gains & losses

Concentrate on naisargika today

Relationships matter in the effectiveness of an intervention Planets intervene in houses thru argala

Argala or Intervention
The 2nd, 4th and 11th houses 2nd - Resources/feeding 4th - Driving (gati) 11th - Catalyst Secondary argala - 5th Subha vs Paapa Malefics in 3rd

Virodha (counter) argala

Counter influences

How a karaka works

Wants something done Looks upto friends in influential positions (i.e. capable of intervening) Strength of karaka matters too Look at house from karaka too
