Arudha Padas of HousesBhava – Meaning/concept/thought (intangible)Pada – Word that describes a concept (tangible)Bhava (house) – intangible conceptArudha Pada – The tangible aspectsThe 4th house – happiness from vehicleArudha pada of 4th house – vehicle itselfThe 5th house – abilitiesThe arudha pada of 5th house – an award/certificateThe 3rd house – boldnessThe arudha pada of 3rd house – a weapon

An AnalogyAn analogy to explain the following:

House from lagnaArudha pada of houseHouse from arudha lagna (AL)

Involvement with a House

Karakatwa (significatorship)OwnershipOccupancyArgalaGraha drishti (planetary aspect)Rasi drishti (sign aspect)

A Corporate AnalogyHouse: The main group handling a projectHouse owner: Manager of the groupHouse occupant: Group memberKaraka: Project managerAspector (graha drishti): One who desiresto work on the projectAspector (rasi drishti): One who has some exposure to the projectArgala giver: One belonging to a special interest group supporting the project

Mutual RelationshipsJust like in the corporate analogy, mutual relationships between various players matterKey players Karaka (project manager) House lord (group manager)

See the relationship of other planets with the above twoThree kinds of relationships – permanent, temporal and compoundUse compound relationships

Graha DrishtiDon’t ignore non-full aspects!All planets have full aspect on 7th from them 3/4 aspect on 4th & 8th from them 1/2 aspect on 5th & 9th from them 1/4 aspect on 3rd & 10th from them

Mars has full aspect on 4th & 8th from him.Jupiter has full aspect on 5th & 9th from him.Saturn has full aspect on 3rd & 10th from him.

Rasi DrishtiMovable signs: Ar, Cn, Li, CpFixed signs: Ta, Le, Sc, AqDual signs: Ge, Vi, Sg, PiMovable signs aspect all fixed signs, except the one adjacent to them.Fixed signs aspect all movable signs, except the one adjacent to them.Dual signs aspect other dual signs.

ArgalaA conclusive support to house mattersPlanets in 2nd, 4th, 11th and 5th from a house have argala on it.Badhaka (obstruction) sthanas: 12th, 10th, 3rd and 9th

Argala and badhaka sthanas reversed for Rahu and KetuSeveral malefics in 3rd have an argalaArgala of one planet – weakArgala of two planets – mediumArgala of more than two planets – strongArgala of functional benefics/ neutrals – full resultsArgala of functional malefics – half resultsAntardasa of argala giving planet or its sign

DasasVimsottari dasa works alwaysSome conditional nakshatra dasas work better than Vimsottari in some cases: Lagna lord in 7th or 7th lord in lagna: Dwisaptati

sama dasa The 10th lord in 10th: Chaturaseeti sama dasa Lagna in vargottama: Sataabdika dasa Sun in lagna: Shashtihayani dasa

Prefer them when applicableNarayana dasa is very useful

Transits

Transits of slow moving planets with respect to natal Moon, natal lagna and natal arudha lagna are useful.There are so many special principles related to transits, but we will not focus on transits today.

Tithi PraveshaBest technique for quick short term predictions!Very high success rate!Lunar counterpart of Tajaka varshaphalChart cast when Sun returns to natal sign, and, Sun-Moon angle (tithi) matches that at birth

The hora lord at that time is the ruler of the year. Key planet in the chart.All principles of natal Jyotish apply!!!Use Tithi Ashtottari (TA) dasa with annual TP charts

Seeing Spouses

In the navamsa chart as per ParasaraThe 7th house in navamsa“Every 8th” progression“Every 6th” progressionUpapada lagna (UL) – arudha pada of 12th house – in rasi chartSame progression

Seeing Children

Children from Saptamsa (D-7) chartTake the house controlling spouse (7th/2nd/9th

etc)The 11th from it is first child (forward/backward based on odd/even)The 3rd from it is second child.The 5th from it is third child.The 7th from it is fourth child.Taking paka as reference

Seeing siblings

Siblings from Drekkana (D-3) chartThe 3rd, 5th etc show younger siblingsThe 11th, 9th etc show elder siblingsCounting is forward/backward based on odd/even lagna

Seeing Parents

From the Dwadasamsa (D-12) chartsMother from 4th houseFather from 9th house

Seeing Education

Basic education: 4th houseBachelors: 9th houseMasters (specialization): 2nd houseAstrological learning: The 2nd/5th/8th

houses and links to Jupiter and Mercury
