Some Deeper Thoughts on the Arudha in Vedic/ Indian/ Hindu Astrology


ARUDHA:SOME DEEPER THOUGHTS

Those who are blessed with the awareness that Parashara and Jaimini have discussed Arudhas as intrinsic and extremely crucial aspects of horoscopy would be further well advised to appreciate that some deep truths about this have been illustrated in the Nadi literature such as Deva Keralam/ Chandra Kala Nadi and the Bhrigu Nadi.

For instance the Darapada/ A7 is crucial for sexuality and overt interaction with the opposite sex. The location of the A7 relative to the Arudha Lagna, the lord of the A7, the Grahas posited in the A7 and the 7th Bhava and the 7th Lord have to be carefully examined together to arrive at a full understanding of the sexual and romantic life of the native. For the investigations as to sexuality within the marriage, the relativity of the Upapada Lagna and the Darapada to the Arudha Lagna and the UL and A7 mutuality inter se have to be considered carefully.

Venus and the Kalatresh also have to be evaluated to divine the attitude of the native in these matters. The Navamsha has to be used too with the specific dicta relating to morality and fidelity being examined threadbare.

The other area is that of Bhavas/ houses when judged from the AL. This is completely overwhelming in its importance and centrality when evaluating the life of the native in the manifest and external world. The concept of Gunas or attributes is important to understand the life of the naitve as others see it. Some of the overarching house are the 1st and 7th, 2nd, 11th and the 9th and 10th. These can completely define the native especially when fuelled by an understanding of the Lagna Chakra/ Rashi Chakra.

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/ 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
