*What is Arudha Lagna? AL*Arudha Lagna simply means how the
world will see you as from your outershell, or the image you will
put out to the world. Arudha means 'Image',Lagna means 'rising sign
or ascendant.' We, as individual souls have aseparate prospection
of ourselves in comparison to the world. If wethink that we as a
human being are spiritual and know a lot about life,then people
outside like a stranger you come across might think of youas an
ignorant bastard or someone who is a hippie or extremist
inspiritual or religion realm. This image can also show you
material gainsas well, like people might look at you as a Donald
Trump because of yourbig house and fancy cars you own. This way,
while looking at the AL wecan see that the person might have houses
and cars because that's howpeople will look at him or her as, a
rich person.Most scriptures say AL is illusion or 'Maya', and
people or astrologerthink it is just an illusion of yourself, but
that's not the case,'Maya' simply means the material world that is
away from the spiritualworld. Since all of us or most of us want a
fancy car, house, moneyetc.. Arudha Lagna can easily show us that.
The ascendant of AL alsoshows the type of personality people think
you are before talking to youor knowing you personally.*How do you
find Arudha Lagna? *Well that is simple, you look at your ascendant
lord in your birthchart, you locate it and see how many places it
is away from theascendant aka rising sign aka the 1st house. If for
example yourascendant lord is Taurus and Venus is the 3rd house,
since Venus is theascendant lord by being the lord of Taurus sign,
we would count threeplaces from Venus. What do I mean by this?
Venus is 3 places way fromthe ascendant as you count counter clock
wise, using ascendant itself asthe first place, then, you would
count that many places from Venus, thatmeans, the 5th house becomes
your Arudha Lagna. You will simply put 5thhouse as the ascendant
lord, but all the planets will be in their signsaccordingly. It's
like turning a lid to the jar, the planet will simplyadjust to the
ascendant.If ascendant lord is in the ascendant, ie. Venus sitting
in ascendantfor Taurus ascendant then you will count 10 places away
from Venus whichsimply becomes the 10th house. However, remember,
Arudha Lagna can neverbe the ascendant of the main birth chart or
the 7th house. If theascendant lord is in the 7th house, then you
will count 10 places fromthe 7th house which will simply become the
4th house as your AL. Ifascendant lord is in the 4th house, then
you counting 4 places from the4th house will land you into the 7th
house again, that means you willagain have to count 10 places from
the 7th house, which will bring youback to the 4th house; the AL
will be the 4th house where your ascendantlord is in, so your AL
will have your ascendant lord in it.If ascendant lord is in the
10th house, that means counting 10 placesfrom ascendant lord will
bring you to the 7th house again, in this caseyou will again count
10 places from the 7th house which will bring youback to the 4th
house. If ascendant lord is in the 12th house, then youwill count
12 places from the ascendant lord which make your 11th houseas
AL.
