Arudhas Of The Planets
One of the oldest authorities on Jaimini
Astrology, he graced the Astrological
Magazine in 1960s under immense
persuasion of Late Dr Raman and gave us
some rare jewels in Jaimini Astrology. At
the age of 80, he lives in a small town in
Andhra Pradesh. Incidentally not many in
India & West know that Andhra Pradesh
has been the land of Jaimini Astrology
after Banaras. Revered Sastriji leads a
strict Brahminical life along with being
very open minded & extremely humble.
His humility only shows his supreme
mastery over astrology. He and Iranganti
Rangacharya are considered as the
foremost authorities alive today in
Jaimini Astrology. Mr. Sastri has
supported Saptarishis Astrology right
from its inception stage.

Translation: Count the number of
Signs/Rashis a planet is away from its
Rashi/Sign. From that Sign count the
same number of signs to calculate Arudha
of a Planet. For Calculating the Arudhas
of the Signs Scorpio and Aquarius* (these
two signs are owned by two planets viz.,
Mars, Ketu and Saturn, Rahu respectively)
and the Signs where one planet owns two
Signs the stronger of the two signs is to be
considered for counting.
(Explanation)*: Arudha has to be calculated from the Planet which is stronger. According
to Krishna Mishra even if Rahu or Ketu are stronger Arudha should not be calculated with
reference to them.
बालकृ ष्णनंद स्वाति (bālakṛṣṇanaṁda svāmi) in his work on Jaimini says
्

Translation: Since the Sun and the Moon own one Sign in the Zodiac they get only one
Arudha. But the other planets own two Signs in the Zodiac and hence get two Arudhas.
This view gets negated from the Sloka “SABALAVADHI” (BPHS) which means for the
planets who own two Signs of the Zodiac Arudha has to be calculated from the Sign which
is stronger.
As the strength of the Signs is to be known for calculating Arudha for the planets, the
method for weighing the strength of Signs is given hereunder. The method being explained
is given by Somanatha in his treatise on Jaimini Sutras in II Chapter 3rdVerse. The
following are the methods given for finding the strength of the Signs as well as the Planets.

Translation: The Sign with a Planet in it is powerful than the Sign which has no Planet.
In case Two Signs have got Planets, the Sign which has more Planets is stronger.
When equal number of Planets are located in both the Signs then the Sign which has got an
exalted planet is powerful.
When the strength of the Signs is equal even after the Step (c) then the Natural strength of
the Signs should be considered.
(Natural strength of Signs):
Common (Dual), Fixed and Moveable Signs are powerful in the descending order.
Common > Fixed > Moveable
Note: Only in the case of Taurus and Libra (which are owned by Venus) there is a
possibility of getting each of them one exalted Planet (Moon gets exalted in Taurus and
Libra is the exaltation Sign of Saturn). For other Signs which are owned by Mars, Jupiter,
Mercury and Saturn one of the Signs owned by them can get an exalted Planet viz., Aries,
Pisces, Virgo and Capricorn respectively. However, this (two signs getting exalted planets)
is possible while calculating the Dasha periods as the strength of 1st House and 7th House or
1st House and 4th House or 1st House and 5th House or 1st House and 3rd House or 1st
House and 11th House, should be considered for computing different Dasha periods.
Strength of Planets:
1. When two planets are compared in strength a planet conjoined with another Planet is
powerful than the Planet which is not conjoined with any Planet.
2. When both the planets are conjoined with planets the Planet which has more number
of planets with it is powerful.
3. When strength of planet arrived as above is equal then the planet which is conjoined
with an exalted planet is powerful.
4. Even after the above consideration the strength of planets is equal then the Natural
strength of the Signs in which the planets located is to be considered.
5. The planet which is in the exaltation is more powerful than the other.
The other sources of the Strength for Signs come from the aspect of its own Lord, Jupiter or
Mercury.
For planets the aspect of Jupiter, Mercury gives strength.
A planet is strengthened depending on its placement in Moveable, Fixed and Common Signs
(natural strength of signs). Further, a planet is considered strong if placed in Kendra
(Square) from the Karaka.
Find out the strength of Signs for calculating the Arudha for the planets (who own two
Signs in the Zodiac), from the above method.
Commentator’s Note: Most of the Scholars are in agreement with the above detailed
procedure for computing the strength of the Signs. Some Scholars considered the following
steps to find the strength of Signs.

Translation:
A Different Source of Strength:
The Strength a Sign gets when a Masculine Sign has a Female Planet and a Feminine Sign
has a Male Planet in it is known as Exchange strength.
(Translators’ Note: Here it is not mentioned which sign should be considered as stronger in
such an event)
Regarding the primary strength, sloka “prative(de)sikah purushe” 2-3-12 is given in the
Jaimini sutras. This has been commented by some scholars as,
ु ओजराशौ प्रातिवेतशकः पार्श्ररातशविीपरिः
ु पॄष्ठिोवा प्राणाः बलवत्त्वेन प्राण इत्यच्यिे
ु

Translation:
For Male sign, if 2nd or 12th sign has got planet in it the sign or the planet would be strong.
This is the primary strength.

Translation:

Shri Krishna Mishra says that after deciding the strength of Signs as above, for the purpose
of predicting death, the Sign which is least powerful has to be considered as powerful.
Source of Strength (Nrisimha Suri)
In his book “JAIMINI SUTRA PRAKASIKA”, Shri Akumalla Narasimha suri, has given
the following steps to compute the strength of Signs.
ज ैतितन सूत्राथ र प्रकातशक (नृतसंह सूतर)
jaimini sūtrārtha prakāśika (nṛsiṁha sūri)
अथोच्यिे ग्रहाणांच राशीनं बलतनणरयः।

athocyate grahāṇāṁca rāśīnaṁ balanirṇayaḥ |
grahayogastu rāśīnāṁ grahāṇāṁcadimaṁ balam ||
Translation:
1. Planets which are conjoined with Planets are powerful. The Sign which has a Planet
in it is stronger than the Sign which has no Planet.
2. Planet/Sign which is conjoined with more Planets is powerful than the Planet/Sign
conjoined with less number of Planets.

Translation:
If the strength of the Signs is equal from (2) above the Sign with own, Friendly, Trinal or
Exalted Planet in it is more powerful.

Translation:
If the strength of Signs is equal after the step (3) Natural strength of Sign is to be
considered.
The Planets Saturn-Mars-Mercury –Jupiter-Venus-Moon-Sun are powerful in the ascending
order. Sun is the most powerful planet of all and Saturn is the least powerful.

Translation:
In “Jataka Sara Sangraha” the sloka “Ashrayatotra visheshachhaturthah” has been explained
as,
्
्

balaṁ grāhyamityarthaḥ etaccaturthaṁ balam ||
Translation:
Common sign is powerful than the Fixed sign and the fixed sign is powerful than the
moveable sign. This is considered as the positional strength and fourth strength. Similar
opinion has been expressed by Shri Narasimha Suri regarding poisitional strength. Some
other scholars have taken the above sloka as “ Aagrayatto travisheshasath” and commented
as,
् थ े अग्रायत्तः
एकराशौ बहुग्रहेष ु सत्स ु सवेषां िेषां ग्रहाणां रातशिारकबलस्य सित्वेतप अत्र अतस्मन ग्रं

When more number planets are posited in one sign then the positional strength for all the
planets is equal but the planet which has traversed more number of degrees compared to the
other planets is considered more powerful.

Translation: If the 11th from Arudha contains many planets or has the aspect of many
planets, Argala* (obstruction) of many planets is on this house, Argala of benefic planets or
Exalted planets is formed, Ascendant or the 9th house has benefic planets and aspecting the
11th house the native will be very lucky and gifted. When more than one of the
combinations mentioned above are available in a chart there should be no planet aspecting
the 12th from Arudha. The above combinations are powerful in the ascending order.
Translator’s Note*: It is felt that the concept of Argala is required to be explained here
which is relevant to understand the combinations given above. Argala means an
obstruction. The special feature of Jaimini System is, either from a Sign or Planet, when
Planets are posited in the 4th, 2nd or 11th house would influence this Sign or planet in giving
its results. Further, planet(s) placed at an equal distance from a sign or planet, counted anti
clockwise will counteract the influence by the Argala (obstruction) causing planets. For
example, a planet is placed in the 4th from a Sign say Aries. This planet causes Argala
(obstruction) to Aries. Now from Aries count 4 houses in anticlockwise direction and if a
planet is located there then this planet will counteract the results of the planet which is
placed 4th from Aries. Therefore, for planets placed in 4th, 2nd or 11th house from a Sign or
planet the planets placed in 10th, 12th or 3rd would counteract their results. When the planets
causing obstruction (Argala) are benefic and there are no planets which are counteracting
their influence, the planets causing Argala will enhance the results of the Sign or planet to
which they are causing Argala.

combined influence of benefic and malefic planets the expenditure will be for mixed reasons
(benefic and evil).

Translation: If 12th from Arudha has Sun and Rahu the wealth of the native will be forcibly
taken away by the King (government). When Venus is posited in 12th from Arudha the
native voluntarily part his wealth to the king (government), if moon aspects Venus this will
be certain.

Translation: If 12th house from Arudha contains Mars and Saturn and aspected by other

Saturn is ahead of Mars then this rule is working.

Special note: The combination given above for the 12th from Arudha can be made applicable
to the 11th from Arudha also. For example, in case of Mars and Saturn in the 12th from A~1,
there will be expenditure for the siblings. Similarly, if this combination is in 11th from A~1
the native will be benefited from the siblings.
The results of 11th and 12th houses from Arudha as explained by Krishna Mishra are given
here under.

Translation: If the A~1 or Kendra (square) from A~1, have benefic planets they confer good
results to the native. If Rahu is posited in trines or 12th from A~1 it will reduce the effect of
Benefic Yogas (combinations) in the chart (nativity).

Translation: When the Arudha of the Ascendant contains debilitated Venus or Moon they
act as evil in fructification of the benefic yoga results, if any, available in the chart. If there
are exalted Jupiter, Full Moon, Venus or Mercury in the A~1 they make a person equivalent
to king. This combination is powerful in the descending* order.
*Jupiter>Full Moon>Venus>Mercury.

(Government). The persons who are honored by the king (government) have such
combination. If either Venus or Moon is debilitated then this combination would not yield
any result.

the incomes will be through benefic/good deeds.

give the results of the planet with which it is conjoined. If not conjoined with any planet
then it would give the result of the Sign Lord (*This sentence is at variance with the
previous statement. Needs further clarification from author).

Commentator’s Note: while delineating the above combinations some scholars have
advocated that the results are to be announced from 7th house and some have stated that the
results are to be announced from 2nd from Arudha.
[Comment: {Jataka Rajiya} General rule is that the planets which are aspecting the
Ascendant will be able to deliver results. The planets in Moveable Signs aspect the Fixed
Sign, the planets in the Fixed Sign aspect the planets in the Moveable signs and the planets
posited in the Common (dual) Sign the other common signs. The planets in the common
sign are more powerful than the planets in the fixed signs and the planets in the fixed signs
are powerful than the planets in the moveable signs. Planets which are strong and conjoined
with other planets and stronger than the Ascendant and planets which are exalted, Mercury,
Moon, Jupiter and Venus are in 2nd, 4th and 11th house the native would be wealthy.
For any ascendant (or Arudha of ascendant) one benefic planet must be located in the 2nd
house. If exalted planet is there it is auspicious. When mercury, Jupiter or Venus is posited
in the 2nd house they confer more and more benefic results in the ascending order. In the 4th
house, of all the planets, if Jupiter is posited it gives the most benefic results. Similarly,
when the planets in the 2nd and 4th houses are stronger than ascendant it considered as most
auspicious (combination of Moon and Jupiter and Moon and Venus is good). For example,
for Scorpio Ascendant in the 2nd house (Sagittarius) if Jupiter is located, though it does not
aspect the ascendant it gives great wealth. For Aquarius ascendant Venus in Pisces causes
‘Maha Raja yoga’ and If Jupiter is posited it is auspicious. For Aries ascendant Venus in
second house (Taurus) may not be very good.
Fourth house is equivalent to ascendant in strength. If 4th house is a moveable Sign it is
ineffective. If it happens to be a fixed sign it is considered possing medium strength. If the
4th house is a common sign it is of full strength].

Translation: The results which are indicated by the above combinations are applicable with
reference to Karakamsha Lagna [the sign which is occupied by the Atma Karaka in the
Navamsha (D~9) chart]. This can only be done when it is not connected with the Bhadaka
planet. Further, the results announced with reference to the combinations from Karakamsha
Lagna can also be made applicable to the Arudha Lagna provided it is not connected with the
Bhadaka planet.

Translation: When the AL and A7 are in mutual Kendra (square) or Trines (Konas) or if
they contain strong planets in them the native will be wealthy, very popular. If AL and A7
are in mutual 6/8/ 12* position the native will be very poor.
*{Note} Shri Durga Prasad Dwivedi has mentioned that AL and A7 will not be in mutual
6/8 /12 positions. While calculating Arudha of AL and A7 for odd and even Signs, AL
(calculated with the help of general rules) will be 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 or 11 Signs from Ascendant. A~1
cannot come in the 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 Signs from the Ascendant. If the exceptions for
calculation of Arudhas (as explained above) are taken in to consideration 4th or 10th house
also can become A~1. In such event the A~1 will be in 1, 3,4,5,7,9,10 or 11 from the Ascendant
and there is a chance of A~1 and A~7 being in mutual 6/8/ 12 position.

Commentator’s Note: From the above table it could be seen that the 2, 4,6,8,10,12 signs from
the Ascendant could not become AL
.
* When exceptions are used for calculating he Arudha (as explained earlier) 4th and 10th
signs from Ascendant can become the AL. This will happen in case when Ascendant Lord is
in 4th house then 4th itself becomes AL and when Ascendant Lord is in 7th house then 10th
house becomes the AL.
Similarly, when the 7th house lord located in various signs:
Location

It is mentioned that for calculating the Arudha for 7th house exceptions are not applicable,
therefore 4th and 10th cannot become A7*. When exceptions are not applied AL and A7
cannot be in mutual 6/8/12 positions. This position (mutual 6/8 /12) is possible only when
exceptions are applied for calculating the AL.
[*This sentence appears to be contradictory to the exceptions for the calculation of the
Arudha explained earlier. Needs clarification from the author]

When there is one strong planet in AL or 7th house or Kendra (square) or Kona (trines) or
Upachaya* (3, 11) Signs then the compatibility between wife and husband will be good.
* Here, Upachaya (growth), only 3rd and 11th Signs are considered as 10th house is covered
in Kendra and as blemish attributed to the 6th house and hence this house is discarded.
(Normally Upachaya signs are 3,6,10 and 11 from Ascendant)
When A7 is in Kendra (square) or Kona (Trine) from AL there would be mutual friendship
between the wife and husband. If in 6/8 /12 there will be enemity between the wife and
husband. The same rules are to be applied to find out the relationship between AL and A5
(Author: this opinion is not there in the Jaimini sutras but this view is supported by Vriddha
Aphorisms).

*There is a difference of opinion in this regard. Parashara indicates that the results are to be
announced from the AL and A2 in a natives’ Arudha chart. Vriddha Karika mentions it as
Jataka Dwaya (two horoscopes).

Translation: Results of the Bhavas are to be considered from Ascendant, Karaka, Drekkana
(D3) and Amsha (AL). From Ascendant 12 bhavas to be considered. From Karaka the Planets
are Bhavas. In the Drekkana chart the place (sign) in which the Ascendant Lord is posited is
the Ascendant of the Drekkana and the place where the 2nd lord is there is the 2nd house of
Drekkana chart and so on. Amsha means Arudha chart and in this chart the placement of
planets is to be considered. The results are to be announced after taking in to account the
various points as above.

Translation: For male horoscopes Arudha has to be calculated clockwise (zodiacal) and for
female horoscopes in anti clockwise (anti – zodiacal) direction. The A~1, as calculated above
has moon and Venus in the second house the native will be affluent/wealthy. If 4th house
(from AL) is a moveable sign it is ineffective. If fixed, it will be of medium strength. If
common sign, it is of full strength. Similarly, when A~1 has the aspect of benefic planet,
who is also exalted, it gives good result even if Ascendant has no such aspect. In result it can
be conclusively said that when A~1 is not connected with any exalted planet (either by
aspect or position) and is connected with malefic planet it causes poverty. Aspect of benefic
planet or exalted planet causes auspicious result. Similar results are to be announced from
Ascendant also.
For any nativity, if ascendant, AL, 4th and 5th bhavas are not favorable, it is certain that the
native will not be conferred kingship or authority.
For a nativity, the Yogas (combinations) of wealth and kingship are to be decided (most
importantly) with reference AL. In Parashara system the combination of Kendra (square)
and Kona (trinal) Lords is considered most auspicious. But, when compared to this
combination the ones which are explained above from the Arudha chart are conferring
multiple/abundant auspicious results. T his is mentioned out of the experience of the author.
These are to be studied by the scholars.
