 Occult learning is shows from the 8th house in D24. 8th house deals with the hidden knowledge

Important points
 Lord of the 3rd house is the lord of determination, 6th house is the house of overcoming
difficulties, If 3rd lord in the 6th house he overcome the difficulties with determination.
 6th, 8th and 12th houses are dusthanas, if dusthana lords are in dusthana houses it is called
vipareeta raja yoga, he attains success after lot of struggle

Lesson 8: Arudha padas

 Arudha pada gives the perceivable aspect or the tangible aspect of the given houses.
 The analogy is house is a object, house lord is like a mirror and the arudha lagna is like the
image of the object. Find the distance of the house lord from the house, count the exact
distance from the house lord, the obtained sign is the arudha lagna of the house.
 The arudha of the first house is the arudha lagna(AL).
 The AL shows how the man is perceived or how he will be aware to the others.
 A debilitated planet and retrograde is akin to exalted planet, a exalted planet and vakra is
equal to debilitated planet .
 3rd house shows communication skills, A3 shows the tangible aspect of the third house. The
tangible aspect of the third house is the books or the lectures which shows his
communication skills.
 Retrogradation is implied to a strong desire of past life. The desire is related to the house
owned by the retrograde planet. Apply this to raasi chart or the corresponding charts
 3rd house apart from the communication skills, it also indicates the initiative and bravery.
The tangible aspect of the 3rd house the weapons one hold which shows how brave he is.
 3rd and 6th house from the arudha lagna indicates courage to defeat the enemies(3rd) house
and 6th house shows defeating the enemies.
 Rules are different for 3rd house and 6th house from lagna(L) and arudha lagna (AL). From
lagna 6th house indicates overcoming the obstacles and AL shows defeating the enemies.

NOTE: AL shows the tangible aspects of self, Lagna shows the true self. The house with
reference to the AL shows the tangible aspects of the perceived self indicated various
aspects of that house.
 Eg: 10th house from the AL shows the place or the environment one works( this is the
tangible aspect of the 10th house karmasthana)

A(n), the arudha of the particular house shows the tangible aspect of the particular house,
The remaining houses making reference of A(n), indicates the matters relating to the
A(n),perceived subjects.

What if the 3rd house and 6th house from AL has malefics and benefics

 3rd house and 6th house has malefics: This shows he/she is brave enough to pull the people
around her
 With bravery and has the capacity to defeat others
when she
 Fells someone as enemy.
 rd th
3 house benefic and 6 house malefic: He/she is not brave enough to take the initiative, but
once
 Started for any reason they will finish the task.
 rd th
3 malefic, 6 benefic: Person will have high initiative, but will not execute the things.
 3rd and 6th benefics: He will not initiate or execute the tasks. He has saintly nature.

A malefic in neecha will behave like a benefic and benefic in neecha will behave like a malefic.

Lesson 9:

NOTE: Houses in the horoscope are the potential of a person. They are inanimate ( they have no sign of
life). Planets are animate they show the kinetic energy which shows the potential of a person which
reflects as the tangible thing and can be seen from the arudha.

Houses from the AL shows the perceived image in the people’s mind.

MahaDasa Level is ruled by sun. More stable things are established. As sun rules satya and self is more
established.

Antara dasa is ruled by Moon. Chandra Lagna is also important as it shows the mind.

Mo is the karaka for all Arudhas.

8th house stands for sudden changes, hard work and indicates occult studies.

Enemies are the tangible aspects and they are seen from A6. If any is in 12 th from A6 this indicates giving
up on enemies, so opposition.

9th house indicates Guru and dharma. Saturn gives very traditional knowledge.

Saturn is slow moving planet. It is also called Manda planet.

3,6 and 11 houses are very auspicious for the malefic planets Su, Ma, Sa, Ra and Ke.

Sa is the karaka for the masses, popularity and following etc…. He is karaka for the 12th.

If he occupies 3rd or aspecting it will not give much initiative but if he starts the work he will finish quickly.

the initiative.
 First marriage is seen from the 7th house, second marriage is seen from the 8th of 7th house. Its
break is seen from the 2nd from there. Third marriage is seen from the 8th from there.
 2nd , 6th and 10th are artha trikonas they indicate the career not only the 10th house. If Saturn is
the lord of the 10th house he indicates the routine work,
 Lesson 10:
 When looking in the AL don’t consider the lordship of the house only consider the occupants of
the house. Consider the lord ship when only seeing from the LA.
 If the planets in the marana karaka sthnas significance of the house owned by the planets is
destroyed.
 In the Navamsa chart see the 7th house for the marriage and the 7th lord for the spouse.

sibling and the 11th house for the elder sibling.
o Count in the forward direction for odd signs and reverse direction for the even
signs of ascendant in the native chart.
 How to look at the children
For children consider the D7 chart.
Consider 5th house for the first kid, 3rd from the first for the second kid etc..
Consider in the forward direction for odd ascendants and in the reverse direction
in the even sign ascendants.
Rahu and ketu put the stop for the issues.
