Argala/ Intervention in Vedic/ Indian Astrology


Argalā is an overwhelming tool in Jyotish as taught by Pandit Sanjay Rath from its source in the Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra. Argalā/ Argala means intervention of certain astrological entities on certain others. It is perpetual and is not contingent on any dynamics of the horoscope such as Dasha and Gochar/ transits.

Argalā/ Argala has been depicted by Pandit Sanjay Rath as a superset in evaluation while the Paṅchāṅga/ Panchanga and Shrāpa/ Shrapa etc coupled with overriding Yogas such as Kāla Sarpa/ Kala Sarpa, Kāla Amrita/ Kala Amrita, Graha Malika taking lesser priority in interpretation.

The Pradhāna Argalā/ Pradhana Argala to any Bhāva (Bhava)/ house or Graha is from the 2nd, 4th and 11th Bhavas therefrom. The secondary Argalā/ Argala is from the 5th and 8th Bhavas as too the 7th. Virodha Argala is obstruction to such Argala but does not denote negativity and especially not non-manifestation. It just indicates another source of influence rather than the first considered. The presence of several Grahas in the 3rd Bhava from the reference point as Parakram Argala where the objective is attained post-effort.

Argala is the key to distinguishing, amongst other facets, between renunciate charts that carry stupendous Raja Yoga that never accrues in the form that it appears in and those horoscopes in which it does. For the Yoga to function fully in order for the native to experience it fully and completely, it must have Argala (including Virodha Argala) from the Lagna, Atmakaraka and the Arudha Lagna, the tripod of crucial reference points in the nativity for this purpose.

A Graha having Argala on the Lagna, 5th Bhava from the Lagna and the 9th Bhava from the Lagna is an excellent Graha and must be propitiated in order to fulfill all desires that the native might have.

Argalā/ Argala is a confirmed astrological influence and exerts itself anyway.

A BRIEF LOOK AT THE TWELVE LAGNAS/ ASCENDANTS IN VEDIC ASTROLOGY

People are often curious at the beginning of their astrological quest, to know something of the various facets pertaining to their ‘chart’; in other words, they wish to evaluate the basic propensities pertaining to their Lagnas and their Rashi/ Lagna Kundalis (Kundalis). Also, the Chandra Lagna itself and Gochar furnish other popular areas of curiosity. Lagna is the sign rising on the Eastern horizon at the time of birth and is occupied by a Rāśi (Rashi)/ Vedic sign. The average duration of a sign rising in the Lagna/ Ascendant is two hours and for this reason the twelve Rāśis cover the twenty-four hours duration of the solar day.

It is the first house or Bhāva of the chart and is the commencement point of any horoscopic study. We cannot forget that in all the divisional charts as well there is a Lagna/ asc

Vedic Astrology: The Charakaraka Replacement and Its Impact

At its deepest core Jyotiṣa is at the driving centre of all Karma. Just like life, if properly appreciated as it must, it has the status of a full-scale on-going project of immense magnitude. Karma and Soul : The Lagna and the Bhavas reckoned from the Lagna in the Rāśi Chakra indicate the physical manifestation of life. In the Varga Chakra the Lagna and the Bhāvas indicate the personality and realities of that specific environment. When we speak of Karma we inevitably speak of the soul as it is the soul which must carry and exhaust the Karma through rebirth. Charakāraka - Matters pertaining to the soul are studied and deciphered through the Charakāraka in Vedic Astrology. The Charakāraka are the temporal significators (Naisargika Kāraka) for various matters at the level of the soul and the Karma. The Charakāraka are decided on the basis of longitude of arc traversed by the planets including minutes and seconds of arc, and sometimes fractions of seconds of arc. The Eight Cha
