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.

Transits of Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu in 2025 in Vedic Astrology

Spring and summer of 2025 will be marked by notable shifts in transit of the slow-moving planets, Guru, Shani and Rahu-Ketu.  Important transits have the capacity to modify the results of the Dasha. In Vedic astrology/ Jyotisha, therefore, the two phenomena have to be examined together.  Jupiter/ Guru will move to Mithuna Rashi/ Gemini on May 14, 2025 and immediately thereafter the Nodes of the Moon, Rahu and Ketu also transit to Kumbha/ Aquarius and Simha/ Leo respectively. Shani/ Saturn will move to Meena Rashi/ Pisces on March 29, 2025.  Broadly speaking, in highly beneficial Dashas, positive transits lead to an icing on the cake situation, while negative transits can dampen the results or even negate them for a while. The effect can be construed accordingly for adverse Dashas, and so on.  It is well-known that Shani is the only Graha who gives added difficulties when He is strong. But a weak malefic is not to be desired because He becomes far more malefic. In oth...

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. ( Basic Jyotiṣa principles can be accessed by clicking this link ) Lagna imbues a person with individuality and therefore denotes the self and the personality of the person. 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/...

The Forthcoming Transit/ Gochar of Saturn/ Śani to Libra/ Tulā Rashi on 15th November, 2011

At the present time, when Saturn/ Shani is transiting Virgo/ Kanya Rashi according to the siderial zodiac, we have witnessed many changes, some of them being related to the disturbances in the Prithvi Tattwa, as shown by the earthquake in Japan and the consequent Tsunami. Mercury/ Budh has been debilitated in Pisces/ Meena Rashi at this time but it is equally important to note that Virgo/ Kanya is also a Prithvi Tattwa Rashi or a sign embodying the Earth element. The trine of Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn/ Vrishabh, Kanya and Makar relates to Artha/ financial and monetary element relating to the trine of attainment in work, the accumulation of wealth and the daily work and adversities to be encountered. Shani in Kanya has revealed some of the realities associated with this sign by pressuring the matters associated with it. The chart for the transit of Saturn Implications of the Saturn Transit in Virgo in Virgo is given below:   Saturn is also retrograde and aspects the debilitated M...
