Arudha Pada

  1. Arudha means a “risen one”. Arudha Pada is the risen aspect – the perceivable aspect of any given house. It is the tangible aspect of a given house.
  2. The analogy is, the actual house is like an object, the lord of the house is like a mirror and the Arudha is the image of object in the mirror (lord). From any house, find the distance from that house to its lord and Arudha of that house is the same distance from the house containing the lord.
  3. Arudha of a house is at the same distance from the lord of that house as the lord of the house is from the corresponding house.
  4. Arudha Padas are not real, real aspects are from original house that we can’t see. Arudhas are the tangible reflections and illusions and are Maya. And these are important as we are in the Maya world. Also, Mo shows Parvati and Devi who stand for Maya.
  5. Arudha of the 9th house is represented by “A9”  and so on.
  6. AL is the Arudha of the La and it shows the image of one’s self. Its not to be considered artificial as the true self projects this image itself.
  7. Lagna (Asc) is the seed of one’s existence and for example, when Mo is in La with A11 and A5, then, during the Mo dasa/Antardasa, there will be gains due to A11 and recognition of abilities due to A5 and there will be a new beginning since its in La.
  8. AL is Arudha Lagna and UL is the Arudha of 12th house, otherwise known as Upapada Lagna (UL). AL is one’s image – how people perceive the native.
  9. Arudha Padas are often mistaken to be Jaimini Astrology but even Rishi Parasara has talked about them in BPHS. However Jaimini has written in depth about the subject.
  10. The actual houses, for example, 5th house of abilities does not really show the measurable or perceivable aspect of the ability. Whereas an award marks in an examination, trophies are perceivable.
  11. 1St house is Brahma sthana, 7th house (house of desire, marriage) is Siva Sthana and stronger of these two is where Narayana lives. Both 1st and 7th are to be seen for judging one’s attitude.
  12. 1st and the 7th houses are of Satya and Arudha is the Maya. So, there is an exception in this case – if the Arudha falls in the 1st or 7th of corresponding house (not from Lagna) – then take the 10th house from where the computed Arudha is, to find the real Arudha of that house. That means its Karma Sthana rules the Arudha.
  13. In case of dual ownership of Sc and Aq, take the stronger of those houses to be the lord to find its Arudha. There will be actually two Arudha’s in these cases of different strength, which can manifest during their aspects
  14. Arudhas can be seen in any divisional chart. Ex – A4 in D-16 will show what kind of car one has. – Vahana sukha in 4th house and vahana in A10.
  15. For example if Sa is in A10, then he will be doing Sa kind of  work and more can be said depending on what amsa Sa is in. A10 will show what kind of work one is doing, where as 10th from A10 will show the perception people have in their minds on the work the native is doing.
  16. Rasi is a chart of physical existence. It also shows different body parts. Arudhas in Rasi show the tangible aspects of the physical body.
  17. In D-24, during Ju phase the indications in education are Ju is in Pi(10th house), debilitated and is with A7 and A8. So, there is a greater possibility of interaction with people (due to A7) and eighth house aspects being manifested (due to A8).
  18. 7th house being interaction with people, A7 is the manifestation of that interaction within you. So, during Ju antardasa, he can meet with Jupiterian like people. It is also with A8. So, during Sa dasa, results of 8th house results can be given, since, Sa is the owner of the 8th house. And if we look at Ju Antardasa in Pi with A8. So, in Sa dasa and Ju antardasa, 8th house results can be given – a break or a manifested occult knowledge or mrityu or end to education. There can be breaks in education. Also, Ju is the karaka for Vedic knowledge. Pi is a satwik and sign of sign of Maharshis. So, Jupiter in Pisces can also give astrological knowledge. A8 can mean tantrum knowledge too, but, since its during Ju, it will be knowledge of maharshis like astrological studies. Also, the Sa dasa and Ju antardasa is a perfect combination to give a boost to occult knowledge, as Sa is very conducive to occult.
  19. In D-10, a particular dasa/antardasa with A8 can mean a break in service.
  20. A8 means Arudha of 8th house is also called Mrityu pada.
