IMPORTANCE OF ARUDHA LAGNA

WHAT IS ARUDHA LAGNA?

Arudha Lagna is a unique concept in Vedic astrology that provides insights into how a person is perceived by the world, which reflects one’s social image, reputation and how others make out an individual’s career, wealth, status and achievements. This makes it an important tool in analyzing public recognition and projection of an individual’s life.

While the lagna in janam kundali reveals the real identity, background and strengths of a native, Arudha Lagna may paint a different picture of the same individual to other people, i.e. external projection of a person’s personality, which might differ significantly from their true nature, and how people think who you are.

In other words, Arudha Lagna is a mask or camouflage of one’s true self, and this perception influences relationships and social circles, indicating how people respond to an individual’s actions and status. A strong and well-placed Arudha Lagna enhances popularity, friendships and social networking.

MEANING OF ARUDHA LAGNA

The term 'Arudha' means 'mount' or 'reflection', signifying that Arudha Lagna is an image rather than the reality of a person’s existence. It acts as a mirror, showing how society views an individual rather than what they actually are in determining fame, career success and social standing though the same may not be true.

ARUDHA LAGNA IS BRAND VALUE

In simple analogy, Arudha Lagna is your brand value and identity. Just like consumers appreciate a brand or trust a product from a reputed organization, similarly Arudha lagna is an individual’s goodwill or disrepute measured by society.

While many fancied items may not be worth its fame or price but remain high in demand because of an inflated perception among consumers, similarly a well placed Arudha lagna can enhance the public opinion of an individual, even though they may not possess those qualities.

So whether one is in service or owns a business, a strong Arudha lagna gets you a better job or more business even if you don’t deserve those. This is even more important for self-employed professionals, influencers and celebrities whose personal identities are the key for growth.

CALCULATION OF ARUDHA LAGNA

Arudha Lagna is calculated using the position of the lagna lord, i.e. ruler of the ascendant in the natal chart in the following steps –

Charts below explain Arudha lagna calculation and creation. While in image I, lagna lord moon is at a distance of four houses from the lagna, so its Arudha lagna falls on 7th house, in image II, lagna lord moon is five houses away from its own house, which makes 9th house its Arudha lagna.

EXCEPTIONS OF ARUDHA LAGNA

One section of fortune tellers feels, if Arudha Lagna falls in the 1st or 7th house, its effective Arudha Lagna will be 10th house from the 1st or 7th house, which will fall either in the 4th house or 10th house. This is done to ensure that the Arudha Lagna represents how society perceives the individual rather than their direct self-image, which the 1st & 7th houses of the natal chart indicate.

However, there is a difference of opinion among astrologers on exceptions to the general rule to find the Arudha lagna. The other group of astrology researchers feels exceptions don’t work, and that the original formula for finding of the Arudha lagna is valid even if the same falls on the 1st or 7th house of the horoscope.

Our opinion, based on hundreds of horoscopes analyzed by us support the second logic that exceptions theory is not valid, and that one’s Arudha lagna can be even the 1st of 7th house.

ARUDHA LAGNA PREDICTIONS

Arudha lagna predictions can be accurate only if the effect of all three factors and taken together, which are –

The prediction system is similar to seeing the dasha and planet transits while analyzing a horoscope – as both of these factors affect the net outcome.

MOST PRONOUNCED PUBLIC IMAGE

Of the 12 houses in a horoscope, the placement position of Arudha Lagna in the birth or lagna chart determines the area of life where the individual’s public image is most pronounced, i.e. the primary identity in front of society. The respective house significations are the indicator of the same.

Let’s say a gentlemanly person who is fabulously rich is also in a very respectable job. In society, he may be most prominently known as a ‘gentleman’, while people attach lesser significance to his wealth or professional status, if his Arudha lagna is in the first house with benefic planets. On the contrary, a well placed Arudha lagna in the 2nd or 10th house create the most prominent identity of those respective house significations, i.e. wealth and profession respectively.
