"Q. 77 --What are the different kinds of Arudhas ?
Ans.
Jaimini emphasizes 12 Arudhas : Lagna Arudha, Dhana-arudha, Vikram-arudha etc.. .
one for each Bhava.
Arudhas are to be determined as follows :
Note where the lord of the ascendant stands and count as many signs from this Rasi
as the ascendant lord is removed from the ascendant.
(1)The Rasi so got is Arudha or Pada or Lagna Arudha.
Similarly note where the lord of 2 is from the 2nd house and the number of Rasis
passed by him.
Calculate the same number from the Rasi occupied by the lord of 2.
(2) The Rasi so got is Dhana Arudha.
In the same way work for other 'houses' and we get
(3) Vikrama Arudha (3rd).
(4) Matru Arudha (4th),
(5) Santana Arudha (5th),
(6) Vyadhi Arudha (6th),
(7) Bharya Arudha (7th),
(8) Niryana Arudha (8th),
(9) Bhagya Arudha (9th),

What is an arudha pada?Generally speaking, all of the arudha pada show the illusion-projection that a
person uses to defend oneself against psychic invasion, and arudha pada also
represent the general impression that the public receives on getting a "first
impression" of a person
Given the stresses of public life and a certain required narcissism that
accompanies social interaction, there is frequently a factual gap between the
arudha lagna's illusion-projection about matters of the bhava (A-1 until A-12) - the
good and the bad -- vs the reality of the material-social manifestation.
Psychic advertisingEveryone projects, around the material self, an 'aura' (gold bubble) of hopes-dreams-
wishes-expectations-needs. Usually this aura projection is quite unconscious and it
represents the psychic truth of the person.
However, clever people can consciously or unconsciously project the illusion of
being quite a different soul than one really is. The aura is by default rather pure
and innocent but in the control of a skillful handler it becomes a combination of
social attributes, subtle suggestion, charismatic charm, and marketing 'spin'. Some
very well trained psychics even know how to make their aura invisible, which

5 of 25 1/20/2012 4:33 PM
very well trained psychics even know how to make their aura invisible, which
makes the person appear to to vanish even though the material particles of the
body remain present in the room.
The aura is a very powerful entity when properly understood and controlled.
Everyone has an astral shield that is full of messages about oneself that may or
may not be materially accurate but nevertheless this is the advertising which the
public uses to decide what is true about a person.
Is it true? The arudha pada might give a positive or negative impression. It is rarely however a
perfect match to the material truth. Arudha pada show the direction a person is going
or wants to go. They might be blocked in going to their next step.
Most of us are not quite yet Realized Beings who are exactly the person we want to
be. The Aura will show one's next step, what one truly wants and needs, but not
necessarily what one is doing or capable of at this moment in the life history. The aura
reports a spiritual truth but not necessarily a material truth.
The arudha pada is not normally related to material truth because it is an astral
phenomenon not a material one.
Nevertheless, the public thinks they know the material truth based on the astral
projection. People will say "I have the impression that ...." and they do. The intuitive
impression that they have received is the psychic product of the arudha pada.
Power of the "first
Impression"
Psychic projections are usually quite compelling and in the absence of fact - or
indeed in the presence of fact - people will often adhere to their "first impression"
which was not a rational conclusion but rather an apprehension based entirely on a
first intuitive arudha-pada "hit".

Use of Arudha
Lagna,
from ~~ Vedic Astrology:An Integrated Approach,

"While lagna stands for true self, arudha lagna (AL) stands for the maya associated
with self.
It shows the how the native is perceived in the material world.
It shows the status of the native.
A timid and confused individual may be perceived in the world as a strong leader. In
that case, that is the maya associated with his personality and AL shows it.
Because arudha lagna deals with maya, illusions, perceptions and impressions, it is
very important in judging various materialistic things.
For example, Parashara and Jaimini taught that the 11th and 12th houses from AL
show financial gains and expenditures.
Natural malefics in the 3rd and 6th houses from AL show someone who is
perceived as a bold person who hits enemies hard.
Since such impressions are usually formed about materially successful people,
malefics in the 3rd and 6th from AL make one bold and materially successful.
Natural benefics in the 3rd and 6th houses from AL make one very gentle and
restrained in public behavior. Such a person does not fight with others boldly.
this combination is usually found in the charts of saints and saintly and mild-natured
people.
The 10th house from lagna in D-10 shows one's true conduct in society. It shows the
one's career and the true nature of one's karma (work).

The 10th house from AL in D-10 shows perceptions about one's conduct in

"Computation of
Bhava Arudhas,
from ~~ Vedic Astrology:An Integrated Approach
by P.V.R. Narasimha
Rao,
/www.vedicastrologer.org/
Arudha padas of all the 12 houses (bhavas) in all the divisional charts are defined as
follows:
(1) Take sign containing the house of interest in the divisional chart of interest.
(2) Find the sign occupied by the lord of that house.
NOTE: Aquarius is owned by Saturn and Rahu.
Scorpio is owned by Mars and Ketu.
Take the stronger lord in the case of houses falling in these two signs. (...)
(3) Count signs from the house of interest to the sign containing its lord.
Counting is in the zodiacal direction always.
For example, if the house we are interested in is in Gemini and its lord Mercury is in
Aquarius,
we count signs from Gemini to Aquarius and get 9.
(4) Count the same number of signs from the sign containing the lord and find the
ending sign.
In the above example, we count 9 signs from Aquarius and we end up in Libra.
(5) Exception:
If the sign found thus in step (4) is in the 1st or 7th from the original sign in step
(1),
then we take the 10th sign from the sign found in step (4).
Otherwise we don't make any change.

Otherwise we don't make any change.
(6) The resulting sign contains the Arudha pada of the house of interest."
The "exception" causes a lot
of trouble for beginners.
Here is another explanation:
The Arudha Pada cannot be in the starting rashi, nor in the 7th-from starting
rashi.
If, after normal step-wise counting, the arudha lagna ends up in either the starting rashi
or 7th-from the starting rashi, then take one extra step.
the extra step = jump 10 rashi forward.
E.g., if the lagnesha of the 'house of interest' occupies bhava-4, then
4th-from-4th = bhava-7.
The rule says: arudha lagna can never be 7th-from-starting rashi.
So, jump 10 houses forward from the 7th house = bhava-4 again.
Lagna pada in this case = bhava-4.

Most astrologers pay attention to Raja Yogas and Dhana Yogas and hardly take into
account combinations which either act as breaks to the functioning of Raja Yogas or
completely neutralise the Raja Yogas with the result horoscope judgments invariably
go wrong.
When Raja Yogas are really more powerful than Rajabhanga Yogas, then alone the
former could function.
Aroodha Lagna is the sign arrived at by counting as many signs from Lagnadhipathi
as the Lagnadhip Lagna.
Similarly, Aroodha Dwadasa Rasi is as many signs away from the 12th lord as the
12th lord is from the 12th house.
Supposing Lagna is Aries and the lord Mars is in Leo.
Then the 5th from Leo, viz., Sagittarius would be Aroodha Lagna. Likewise if the 12th
is Pisces; and the 12th lord, viz., Jupiter is in Taurus (the 3rd from 12th), then the
Dwadasarudha would be Cancer, the 3rd.From the horoscope, where Lagna is Aries and
Lagnadhipathi is in Leo and the 12th lord Jupiter is in Gemini, Lagnarudha would be
Sagittarius and Dwadasarudha would be Virgo. Conjunction between these two lords,
viz.. Mercury and Jupiter would result in a Rajabhrashta Yoga."

[begin exact quote]
Computation of Graha Arudhas
Just as arudha padas of all houses (bhavas) are defined, arudha padas of all the nine planets (grahas)
are also defined and they are called graha arudhas. They are computed as follows:
(1) Take the sign containing the planet of interest in the divisional chart of interest.
(1) Find the sign owned by that planet.
NOTE: Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn own 2 signs each. In their case, take the stronger sign
owned by the planet. ...Take the two signs, apply those rules and find the stronger sign.
(1) Count signs from the sign containing the planet of interest to the stronger sign owned by it. Counting
is in the zodiacal direction always. For example, if the planet we are interested in is Sun and he is
Gemini, we count signs from Gemini to Leo and get 3.
(1) Count the same number of signs from the stronger sign owned and find the ending sign. In the above
example, we count 3 signs from Leo and we end up in Libra.
(1) Exception: If the sign found thus in step (4) is in the 1st or 7th from the original sign containing the
planet, then we take the 10th sign from the sign found in step (4). Otherwise we don’t make any change.
(1) The resulting sign contains the arudha pada of the planet of interest.

various aspects of a person’s life and their arudhas show the related perceptions by the person.
Just as the perceptions of the world about a native can be totally different from the reality, perceptions of
a native about himself, about the world and about the situations that (s)he goes through can be totally

Jyotishi Pt. Narasimha Rao]
BPL opinion
A -1: Arudha lagna /
Lagna pada
What can be predicted from A-12?
A-12 = arudha lagna = lagna pada reveals how Others perceive one's personality. It
shows how one projects one's own illusion or 'glamour' into the world.
If the lord of the arudha lagna is favorable, these projections are well received in
the minds of others.
Famous persons and Entertainers frequently have highly favorable lords of A-1.
Lagna pada = arudha lagna is a good key to finding out how a person is perceived
by the outside world. While the lagna may give a good profile of physical
appearance, the arudha lagna shows the native's psychic projection upon others -
how the native strikes the minds of others.
If the arudha lagna is favorable, even a person with a poorly supported rashi lagna
can be quite successful, getting job promotions and celebrity recognition etc.
Arudha means illusion or image.
If the radix lagna itself is strong and vibrant but the lagna pada is weak, even quite
a remarkably vital and attractive person will be missed by the public.
he more interesting cases are people who rather unaccountably become celebrities.
These folks experience their image being broadcast day and night over all media -
their personal goings-on becomes of great interest to the common herd. Such
people frequent have a a powerful lagna-pada. Their celebrity periods, often
flash-in-the-pan, are expected during the bhukti of their Lord of Lagna-pada,
called the karakamsha.
Similarly, Dhana pada shows how others perceive one's wealth.

15 of 25 1/20/2012 4:33 PM
Similarly, Dhana pada shows how others perceive one's wealth.
A person might be buried in consumer debt or paying huge medical loans or tax
liens - but if A-2 is favorable, they could still be looking/acting wealthy. A-2
which contrasts favorably with the realities of actual bhava-2 is common in
westerners who become "house poor" after buying a home that is too expensive
for their income, or folks who become "car poor" after buying a prestige vehicle
that looks good but leaves them without grocery money!
And so forth for the other arudha lagnas. Check for disparities, if the person
seems to be faking it or living a lie of some type, you will see the gap between
reality and illusion by checking the arudha lagna for the house in question.
BPL opinion
Dara-pada = A-7
What can be predicted from the A-7?
A-7 Dara pada = kalatra pada shows the glamour or charm of the spouse's
personality, what people think of one's husband or wife.
Perhaps the native has married a person of high moral caliber who nevertheless
lacks some social graces. The general public may, if the A-7 is poorly situated,
have a lower opinion of such a spouse than is truly warranted - and the native may
suffer on this account.
By contrast some people find it difficult to sue for divorce when, despite their
deep unhappiness in their marriage, their spouse is well thought-of in their
community. This dilemma would also show up in the gap between A-7 and the
reality of kalatra bhava and L-7.
"Dara" means "wife". Darapada is the arudha lagna of the radix seventh house.
Darapada tells about the physical communion of the marriage, which is mainly the
physical lovemaking.
Consideration of upapada and darapada are especially valuable for understanding
the conditions applying in marriage and the behavior of the spouse.
Arudha lagna of the bhava reveal the illusions, or what the sleepwalking public
believes, about the goings-on of the bhava. One of the most important meanings of
Arudha lagna upapada darapada - Barbara Pijan Lama Jyotisha Vedic Astrology http://barbarapijan.com/bpa/Amsha/lagna_arudha_lagna.htm
16 of 25 1/20/2012 4:33 PM
believes, about the goings-on of the bhava. One of the most important meanings of
the dara-pada is therefore the illusory purpose of marriage which is physical
sexuality.
Dara-pada can be analyzed to distinguish the physical dimension of marriage and
describe how the spouse behaves physically. For example, is the partner's
behavior sensed by the native as qualitatively affectionate, passionate, or
withholding, distant?
The fleshly psycho-sexual dimension of marriage whilst often demeaned in
body-reviling cultures as inferior or delusory, is in fact absolutely vital to marital
well-being. There must be bona fide nurturing, appreciative, pleasuring affection
between the spouses in order for marriage to succeed.
To find the dara-pada, count from yuvati bhava to the lord of yuvati.1.
Then count the same number of houses forward again, to reach the dara-pada.
(see example below)
2.
If L-7 is in swakshetra (his own house) then darapada = bhava-10.3.
Darapada for second spouse
Darapada for the second spouse counts from dhana bhava to L-2. Then count the same
number of houses forward again, to reach the second-marriage dara-pada.
BPL opinion
Upa-pada
What can be predicted from the A-12?
A-12 = Upa pada or Vyaya pada = the second-most-consulted arudha lagna.
A-12 shows the aura of glamour or bubble of charm which surrounds the native's
marriage, as seen by the minds of others.
Gauna Pada shows what people believe about the native's marriage -- which may
be quite different from what is really going on.
Upa pada particularly indicates the psychic projection into "public image" of
matters of the private bedroom. Do people think you have a happy marriage?
Arudha lagna upapada darapada - Barbara Pijan Lama Jyotisha Vedic Astrology http://barbarapijan.com/bpa/Amsha/lagna_arudha_lagna.htm
17 of 25 1/20/2012 4:33 PM
Are they sure that communication and satisfaction is being delivered and received
in the private bedroom? Or is there speculation that one's marriage is not
satisfying, not balanced, not adequately pleasurable on a private, intimate level?
the public are usually quite sure that they can determine these matters and
everyone will have an opinion -- that opinion is based on the appearance of the
Upapada
Nativities of politicians, business people, and others in public life who successfully
project a loving marriage upon the public consciousness, frequently have a strong
A-12. These folks often have a reputation, not really based on fact, for being reflective
thinkers, prayerful and meditative, and some strong affinity with religious retreat and
long-term foreign residence (such as university student study-abroad).
Given the stresses of public life and a certain required narcissism that
accompanies high-profile leadership positions, there is frequently a factual gap
between A-12's illusion-projection about matters of vyaya bhava - the good and
the bad -- vs the reality of their private bedroom, sanctuary retreat, and meditation
practice.
Nevertheless, the public thinks they know. People will say "I have the impression
that ...." and they do. Their impression is the psychic work of the arudha pada.
Psychic projections are usually quite compelling and in the absence of fact - or
indeed in the presence of fact - people will often adhere to their "first impression"
which was not a rational conclusion but rather an apprehension based entirely on a
first intuitive "hit".
For example,
the distinguished public figure Ms. Hillary Clinton endured a miserable crisis of
public reputation when her husband, then-president Bill Clinton, was accused of
sexual misconduct in the White House. When a man misbehaves in public, people
immediately look to his wife. Most adult members of the American society had an
opinion on the private circumstances of Hillary Clinton's marriage. Much was
written and spoken about what people felt that they "knew" about the Clinton's
intimate marital life.

18 of 25 1/20/2012 4:33 PM
Mrs. Clinton's upa-pada = a strong bhava-2 Vrischika containing L-3+L-6
(marital conflict) Guru + Ketu. The public perceived her as somewhat
apathetic (Ketu) and disconnected (Ketu) from her marriage. Guru = the most
unfavorable graha for any Thula nativity; the public again perceived themarriage to be inharmonious (6) and exploitive (6).
The general public opinion was, "surely they must get a divorce". Certainly
the combination of Ketu the chidakaraka (cutter) with L-6 Guru in the
upa-pada would generate the illusion that this marriage is on the road to
divorce court.
But interestingly, that psychically "obvious" conclusion never never
manifested. Mrs. Clinton was in fact in a Shukra/Shukra period at the time of
her marriage crisis, and in consideration of the strength of her kalatrakaraka
Shukra, it is easy to see how she decided to preserve the political and social
capital of her marriage (Shukra = capital) rather than react in litigious anger.
Mrs. Clinton's case is a helpful example of the fact-gap which often exists
between the illusion generated by the gauna-pada and the actual
material-world consequences. It also shows how strong and convincing are the
signals emitting from the upa-pada in regard to the intimate life of marriage,
matters of fantasy and dream life, meditation and prayer, and clandestine
"sanctuary" relationships.
Natives who enjoys a powerful upapada can make the public believe that everything is
fine with his marriage, even when the partners are long separated. According to Sanjay
Rath, this native may announce his divorce long after a physical separation, in the
period of 2nd-from-upapada.
Upapada = arudha lagna of the 12th house. It shows the public impression of your
marriage.
Consideration of upapada and darapada are especially valuable for understanding
the dynamics of a marriage. It is often said that Upa-pada represents "the
institution of marriage" as practiced by the couple (with all the inherent conflict
institutionalized into a stable format that Vyaya sthana being 6th-from-7th does
imply).

imply).
To find the upa-pada, count the houses starting from vyaya bhava going forward
to the twelfth-lord. Then count the same number of houses forward again, to reach
the upa-pada. (see example below)
Married couples who are secretly miserable whilst enjoying a smooth public
presentation, as is so common in the instrumental marriages of politicians and
senior executives, will often display a successful upapada but trouble appears in
darapada.
Q: If the strongest, most
competitive and vibrant
graha in my entire Kundali is
languishing in the 12th from
Arudha Lagna, doesn't that
mean I will permanently
suffer a lack of success? I
want to succeed in life to
make my family proud, but it
looks rather unlikely due to
the poor disposition of this
excellent graha. Sometimes I
feel a deep despair, just
knowing how badly this graha
is situated. I feel even cheated
in a way, by a life that gives
me plenty of life energy but I
seem to waste it. What are my
honest chances for success?
A:
Arudha lagna is the basis of the public's perception of one's character. As many
commentators agree, arudha lagna is specifically an illusion. AL can exist in vivid
contradiction to the material daily reality being lived by the native. E.g., the classic
movie star with a spectacular AL has every kind of problem, but is idealized by the
public, who find out only after their death that the star lived a highly corrupt life. Or
vice versa, the outcast held in public contempt is discovered to have worked silently
for charity and praised richly only at his funeral. AL is not a material measure but
rather a "public relations" indicator.
A powerful Mangala in 12th from AL=Vrishabha indicates that the public would
perceive one's masculine, creative, competitive energy to be expressed in the
business of creating Sanctuary space.
This configuration is perfect for elder care. It is also good for clandestine
productivity of all kinds, international "closed door" business dealings, innovations
and inventions in the equipment used in hospitals, monasteries, and other
institutional enclosures. Mangala's proximity to the friendly, expansive Guru is
very helpful in making the public relations projection a positive one.
The public does not necessarily understand the details of your worthiness, because
things in 12th are dissolved from view and rather foggy, but the overall take-away
impression which most people have is that you are a nice guy who means well and
who brings a large but indefinite amount of physical and financial resource to the

who brings a large but indefinite amount of physical and financial resource to the
project at hand.
It is fundamentally a "positive" illusion and will not cause you any trouble as
regards public reputation and "profiling" treatment.
What is "success"?
"Success" as defined by the individual versus "success" as defined by social fashions
are often two different things. "Success" is the measure of having met a goal.
Individual success may be measured as the amount of ignorance converted into
wisdom during the incarnation: broken relationships healed, crimes forgiven,
others served.
The individual may hold any number of personal goals which society does not
value. For example, the individual may have as major goals things like conducting
research a subject which has no practical application in the marketplace, or the
individual may want to read the sacred scripture of one's tradition from beginning
to end and fully understand it, or the individual may wish to have a deep and
engaging relationship with one's spouse.
Society will not praise these goals, if accomplished, as constituting "success".
What is "society"?
The social collective as an amorphous but fierce entity has only a few driving
interests: safety of the leaders, military protection, food distribution, and maintenance
of order. Rather like an ant colony - human society values materially productive work
and accumulations of material resources. It protects the leaders and sacrifices the
lower workers first.
The two biggest goals of any social are acquisition of dominant status re other
societies and hoarding of wealth-resources.
Will empowered Angarika in your 12th-from-AL hurt the social definition of
"success"?
Well, you will not be seen as a dynamic dominating top leader so in the event of an
national emergency you will not be whisked to an underground bunker or

national emergency you will not be whisked to an underground bunker or
surrounded with Secret Service detail. You will however be able to pile up a fair
amount of money (Shukra L-11 in 2). So "success" financially, yes.
Karma Pada
The 10th from AL (karma pada) is ruled by the strong and steady Shani, and you're in
Shani Mahadasha.
From the AL, Shani would occupy the relative 3rd bhava which indicates
commercial business, local supplier-vendor-client relationships, ability to process
paperwork etc. The business of business!
And from this signification, lord of karma pada, you are thus in the best position
to receive social recognition for the value of your contribution to the colony.
You are known as a reliable businessman whose specialization is the provision of
innovative and welcoming (Guru) sanctuary space, esp for elders, which space has
a unique emphasis on the independence (Mangala) and exercise or movement
(Mangala) of the denizens.
The public won't need or want too many details -- yours is not an iconic celebrity AL.
(compare to George Bush-43 whose AL = Vrischika/5 = his D-9 lagna and a packed
10th navamsha, thus he gets lots of media attention). Vrishabha is the natural 11th.
Most people will know you simply as a businessman with many marketplace
connections in your community.
"Success" can certainly be obtained if "success" is properly defined and the energy
needed to develop both internal and external success is properly apportioned.
As Jesus Christ is quoted to have said, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to the
Lord what is the Lord's."

I read the few texts of
UL lord of Rashi from
Shri Sanjay Rath's
articles and other
sources.
Rule 1: If Lord of UL is
exalted in D-9 or Rashi
it shows partner from
high status family.
Rule 2: If Lord of UL is
debilitated, in D-9 or
Rashi, the partner
comes from poor
status.
In my case UL lord
Venus (Libra) of Rashi
is debilitated in D-9.
What does it imply? I
am bit confused by
these Jaimini Sutras.
Also, if L-7 is
considered or L-8 is
considered they are
exalted in rashi and
D-9 respectively.
How to ascertain the
difference from two
techniques.?
The basis of both Parashari and Jaimini Jyotisha (which are complementary and not
contradictory!) is the concept of the Karaka.
When looking for "implication" I.e. the spiritual, mental, emotional, or material effect
of a karaka, I find it helpful to return to the original karaka.
The Upapada lagna is an expression of bhava-12. Upa Pada Lagna = arudha of the
radix 12th rashi. (In some traditions, UL is calculated from dhana bhava for even rashi
radix lagna.)
bhava-12 represents the previous lifetime. The previous lifetime is not "finished". Like
all other lifetimes past and present, the "previous" lifetime is ongoing in the astral
plane, which is a world not controlled by time and space rules. There are no clocks on
the astral plane, and there are no barriers or boundaries. On the astral plane, you can
put your hand right through a steel wall, and there are no sequences such as before-
and-after. Everything happens simultaneously.
(bhava-2 represents the next future lifetime.)
The UL represents those conditions carrying forward from previous lifetimes, which
are extremely vivid memories stored in the subconscious. These memories are quite
"near" or "close-by" (upa) and these memories or subconscious expectations manifest
as the psychic influence of those who are close-by in our lives. traditional ly, the
spouse is the 'closest person" in life, one's most intimate mirror. (But of course there
are many exceptions to this tradition and some marriage partners are quite distant.)
The spousal agreement was made on the astral plane a long time before the present
lifetime, and the spouses know a great deal about each other's subconscious reality
(not necessarily conscious knowledge, but intuitively one recognizes the spouse's
imagination and understands their dreams often better than they do themselves.)
Vyaya bhava is the house of private imagination, meditative reflection, dreams, and
foreign travel. It is the domain of the loss of separate physical identity, and the loss of
social ego-recognition. It is that part of our lives conducted primarily during sleep, in
the dream state, and of course the person 'closest' to one in the dream state is typically
the adult spouse who is sleeping only inches away. What happens in bhava-12 is that
in the dream state, the native is traveling the pathways of the astral worlds. Dreams
are active, dreams are busy, dreams are purposeful and informative -- for those who
can read the dream information, anyway! And those who remember their dreams

can read the dream information, anyway! And those who remember their dreams
report that they "saw" their future spouse in their dreams (or waking meditations)
whether that vision was a material form or a psychic vibration, perhaps a tone or a
color-pattern. However for those who have an adequately sensitive perceptual
apparatus that is focused on the radar screen of bhava-12, pre-knowledge of soon-to-
materialize persons and events is readily available.
So... just remember that the *baseline for interpretation of the UL* is bhava-12 and its
function in human life. In particular, the UL influences the manifestation of the Most
Intimate Private Life Partner (the nearest one) but in general all of the near-by people,
such as family members, essential teachers, romantic lovers (esp the clandestine) may
all emerge from the subconscious programming established in the previous life (12).
Look closely into the dream imagery and you will see that all these people are very
familiar and each one represents much more than one role! Vyaya-bhava is like a
kaleidoscope of brilliant guiding (Guru) imagery, and the major players assigned to act
out "12" roles in our lives have the power to deliver essential guidance via intimate
telepathic exchange of imagery.
Pt. Narasimha Rao says "The second most important Arudha is the Upapada Lagna
(the Arudha of the 12th house). Upa means near or relating to (as well as giving and
ornament), and is calculated from the sign near and related to the lagna and shows the
person who ends up near and relating to you."
