How to Calculate Arudha Pada or AL ?

  

Example 1 : Arudha Pada or AL is calculated from Ascendant. If lord of the Ascendant is placed in 5^th house (which means it is placed in 5^th sign from Ascendant), then we have to count five signs from 5^th house (count five sign from Leo and we get Sagittarius). Hence, Arudha Pada or AL is placed in Sagittarius sign.

Example 2 : Arudha Pada or AL is calculated from Ascendant. If lord of the Ascendant is placed in 3^rd house (which means it is placed in 3^rd sign from Ascendant), then we have to count three signs from 3^rd house (count three sign from Gemini and we get Leo). Hence, Arudha Pada or AL is placed in Leo sign.

Exception :

Arudha pada of a house cannot be in the 1st or 7th from the house. If the Arudha pada falls in the 1st or 7th from the house for which we are finding arudha pada, then the 10th house from what was found above becomes the Arudha pada (or Deduct 4 houses from the result).

OR (in other word)

If the Arudha Pada of house is in 1^st, 4^th, 7^th, or 10^th house, then 4 houses should be deducted from the result.

Exception Example 1 : Arudha Pada in 1st house.

Arudha Pada of A10 is placed in its own sign. Hence, deduct 4 houses from the result. Arudha Pada for A10 will be in Libra sign.

Exception Example 2 : Arudha Pada in 7th house.

- Arudh Pada of A4 is placed in 7th house from the 4th house. This is wrong calculation.

- As per exception rule : If Arudha Pada of A4 is placed in 7th house then deduct 4 houses from the result Sign. Here, result sign is Capricorn, therefore, deduct 4 signs from Capricorn sign and we will get correct Arudha pada of A4 in Libra sign, which is correct Arudha Pada of A4. Arudha pada of A4 in Capricorn sign is incorrect.

This exception rule applies If the Arudha Pada of house is in 1^st, 4^th, 7^th, or 10^th house, then 4 houses should be deducted from the result. 

In some astrological books following Rule is given for exception.
If the Arudha Pada of house is in 1^st, 4^th, 7^th, or 10^th house, then add 10 signs in to result sign.

This thing is noting else but the same. If you add 10 signs in above example [Exception Example 2 : Arudha Pada in 7th house.] You will get same result. 

- Arudh Pada of A4 is placed in 7th house from the 4th house. This is wrong calculation.

- As per exception rule : If Arudha Pada of A4 is placed in 7th house then add 10 signs in to the result Sign. Here, result sign is Capricorn, therefore, add 10 signs to Capricorn sign and we will get correct Arudha pada of A4 in Libra sign, which is correct Arudha Pada of A4. Arudha pada of A4 in Capricorn sign is incorrect.

 

Similarly, we can calculte the Arudha Pada for all the houses and these are called Dhana Pada (2nd), Bhratripada (3rd), Matri Pada (4th), Mantrapada (5th), Satrupada (6th), Dara Pada (7th), Roga pada (8th), Bhagyapada (9th), Rajyapada (10th), Labhapada (11th) and Upapada (12th).

One third equal part of the Sign is called Drekkana. It means there are 3 Drekkana in each sign. There are total 36 Drekkana (12 signs x 3 = 36 Drekkana) in horoscope.

Lord of 2nd Drekkana (10º to 20º) within each sign= 5th trine

Lord of 3rd Drekkana(20º to 30º) within each sign = 9th trine

Generally the first Drekkana of any sign is ruled by the owning planet, second Drekkana by the 5th lord and the third Drekkana by the 9th lord.

In this horoscope, Ascendant is at 03º 17’, it means it is in first Drekkana. 22^nd Drekkan will be the first Drekkana of the 8^th house, and therefore, First Drekkana of the 8^th house is in Leo sign and Lord of the 22^nd Drekkana is Sun.

If Ascendant is at 15º 10’, it means it is in Second Drekkana. 22^nd Drekkana will be the Second Drekkana of the 8^th house, Therefore, First Drekkana of the 8^th house is in Sagittarius sign and Lord of the 22^nd Drekkana is Jupiter.

How to calculate 22nd Drekkana from Moon ?  

 

Similarly, if we have to find 22^nd Drekkana from Moon, degree of Moon is 22º 58’ in Virgo sign in above mentioned horoscope. So Moon is in third Drekkana. 22^nd Drekkana will be the third Drekkana of the 8^th house from Moon. Aries sign is placed in 8^th house from Moon. Therefore, third Drekkana of Aries sign will be Sagittarius sign and Lord of the 22^nd Drekkana from Moon is Jupiter.
