Arudha Padas of Houses

Bhava Meaning/concept/thought (intangible) Pada Word that describes a concept (tangible) Bhava (house) intangible concept Arudha Pada The tangible aspects The 4th house happiness from vehicle Arudha pada of 4th house vehicle itself The 5th house abilities The arudha pada of 5th house an award/certificate The 3rd house boldness The arudha pada of 3rd house a weapon

An Analogy
An analogy to explain the following: House from lagna Arudha pada of house House from arudha lagna (AL)

Involvement with a House

Karakatwa (significatorship) Ownership Occupancy Argala Graha drishti (planetary aspect) Rasi drishti (sign aspect)

A Corporate Analogy
House: The main group handling a project House owner: Manager of the group House occupant: Group member Karaka: Project manager Aspector (graha drishti): One who desires to work on the project Aspector (rasi drishti): One who has some exposure to the project Argala giver: One belonging to a special interest group supporting the project

Mutual Relationships
Just like in the corporate analogy, mutual relationships between various players matter Key players

Karaka (project manager) House lord (group manager)

See the relationship of other planets with the above two Three kinds of relationships permanent, temporal and compound Use compound relationships

Graha Drishti
Dont 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 Drishti
Movable signs: Ar, Cn, Li, Cp Fixed signs: Ta, Le, Sc, Aq Dual signs: Ge, Vi, Sg, Pi Movable 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.

Argala
A conclusive support to house matters Planets 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 Ketu Several malefics in 3rd have an argala Argala of one planet weak Argala of two planets medium Argala of more than two planets strong Argala of functional benefics/ neutrals full results Argala of functional malefics half results Antardasa of argala giving planet or its sign

Dasas
Vimsottari dasa works always Some 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 applicable Narayana 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 Pravesha
Best technique for quick short term predictions! Very high success rate! Lunar counterpart of Tajaka varshaphal Chart 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 Parasara The 7th house in navamsa Every 8th progression Every 6th progression Upapada lagna (UL) arudha pada of 12th house in rasi chart Same progression

Seeing Children
Children from Saptamsa (D-7) chart Take 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) chart The 3rd, 5th etc show younger siblings The 11th, 9th etc show elder siblings Counting is forward/backward based on odd/even lagna

Seeing Parents
From the Dwadasamsa (D-12) charts Mother from 4th house Father from 9th house

Seeing Education
Basic education: 4th house Bachelors: 9th house Masters (specialization): 2nd house Astrological learning: The 2nd/5th/8th houses and links to Jupiter and Mercury

Conclusion
Divisional charts Houses Arudha padas Role of karaka, house lord, occupants, graha drishti, rasi drishti, argalas Dasas and transits Tithi Pravesha is the best!
