Jaimini Astrology

Arudha Padas

Arudha Padas are one of themost important features in Jaimini astrology. Eachhouse of a chart has its Arudha Pada as a secondpoint of influence.

Special Arudhas are

The Arudha of the 1st house is called ArudhaLagna.The Arudha of the 12th house is UpapadaLagna.

Remark: Arudha Padas are defined for all Vargas.

Calculation of Arudha Padas

The rule for Arudha calculation: count so many signsfrom the lord of a sign as the lord is away from thebasic sign.

Example: Second house is Capricorn, Saturn is inPisces. So the distance from the underlying house(Cp) to Saturn is 3 signs. Count 3 signs from Pisces,so Taurus will be the Arudha of the second house.

The Role of the Nodes

Rahu and Ketu play a special role in Jaiminiastrology: they are co-lords of Aquarius (Rahu) andScorpio (Ketu).

So Rahu must be taken as lord of Aquarius if Rahu isstronger than Saturn. Same for Ketu: Ketu is the lordof Scorpio if Ketu is stronger than Mars.

Parasara's Rule

Parasara establishes that there are some exceptionsfrom the above rule (fourth house rule).

Rule: if the lord of the house is in the 1st, 4th, 7thor 10th house, 4 houses must be deducted from theresult.

Examples

Saturn is in the Ascendant in Capricorn. So the1st house Arudha (or Arudha Lagna) will not beCapricorn but Libra.4th house Arudha for Cancer Ascendant andVenus in Aries: Cancer will be the Arudha andnot Libra.

Raman's Rule

Raman and Shastri do not apply the fourth houserule for Arudha calculation.

This rule can be configured in the configurationdialog (vedic calculation tab) of Maitreya.

Most Jaimini astrologers do not follow this rule.

Chara Karakas

Jaimini astrology defines the Chara Karakas. TheseKarakas depend on the planetary positions in thehoroscope.

Remark: Chara Karakas are only defined for the Rasichart (not for higher Vargas).
