To keep things simple, I am not getting in to the details of calculations. There are certain rules of determining Arudhha Lagna if it falls in your 1st house or 7th house or by checking which house is stronger as Arudhha. See the sign that is in your 5th house, it is Leo. Now put your finger on Mars and start counting 3 places from Mars. This means if you start counting from the ascendant Mars is placed 3 places away. Mars is the lord of your ascendant and Mars is sitting in the 3rd house of your birth chart. The sign or rashi in that house is your Arudhha lagna. Let us first see how to find your Arudhha lagna.Ĭheck who is the lord of your ascendant in your Rashi chart.Ĭheck how many houses away the ascendant lord is sitting in your Rashi chart.Ĭount as many houses from that planet and see at which house you arrive. It is your apparent existence, not real and for obvious reasons in today’s world the importance of Arudhha lagna has increased enormously. So this is Arudhha lagna.Īrudhha lagna has everything to do with materialistic world and the gains and losses associated with it. From the outside you may have money, car, house, family, but your inside may be empty. Similarly, a person may be known for philanthropic deeds, but in reality may be a shrewd businessperson who is only calculating own gain. You may be a righteous and kind person at heart, but to the outside world you may come across as a shrewd business minded person, this is your Arudhha working. It is the way how the world perceives you. Arudhha represents the version of you which people see and perceive about you it is not the real you, your projection in the society. Why moon, because Moon represents the society, the people. Moon is the significator of Arudhha Lagna. If you want to see the video here is the link to the YouTube channel: You will find it in the Bhava Pada chapter of Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra and this concept was later further enriched by his disciple or student Jaimini. Rishi Parashara had discussed about Arudhha ascendant as Arudhha Pada or Mukhya Pada which means the Principal Pada. It is our image to the outside world not the real us. The concept of identity, the first house in the birth chart is heavily influenced by the 7th house and the 10th house activities in todays’ world and the Arudhha lagna has become the most important identity of us. More money and fame you have, more successful is your birth apparently. In today’s context you are not judged by who you are, rather judged by what you have and how much you have.
