Part 1 Arudha Lagna in Jaimini Astrology: What the World Thinks of You

We have established that Arudha Lagna (AL) is the “Mirror.” It is how the world perceives you.

But a mirror has a frame, a background, and lighting. In Jaimini Astrology, the planets sitting in the 12 houses from your Arudha Lagna describe the complete movie of your social life.

• Houses 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12: We generally want Benefics (Jupiter, Venus, Mercury, Moon). They bring ease, popularity, and wealth.

• Houses 3 and 6: We specifically want Malefics (Mars, Saturn, Rahu, Sun). They bring power, dominance, and victory.

Sit down with your chart. Rotate it so your Arudha Lagna is at the top (House #1). Let’s walk through every single room of your social reputation.

The “Argala” Secret (Intervention)

I want to leave you with one advanced tip. In Jaimini, houses interfere with each other. This is called Argala (Bolt/Latch).

• The 11th House (Gain) locks the 12th House (Loss).

• Meaning: If you have more planets in the 11th than the 12th, your Income will always stop your Expenses. You will be rich.

FAQs on Planets in Houses From Arudha Lagna: The 1st House (The Face)

Q: What if a house is empty? A: If the 11th house from AL is empty, don’t worry. Look at the Lord of that house. If 11th is Aries (empty), look at where Mars is sitting. If Mars is exalted or with benefics, the result is still positive.

Q: Why are Malefics good in the 3rd and 6th? A: The 3rd and 6th are “Upachaya” (Growing) houses and houses of struggle. Malefics (Mars, Saturn) are designed for struggle. They crush opposition. Benefics (Jupiter, Moon) are too soft for these battlefields.

Q: Can I use this for the D9 (Navamsha) chart? A: Yes! Calculate the Arudha Lagna of your Navamsha chart. This will show your status after marriage or later in life (after age 35). It is often called the “Dharmic Image.”
