Meaning of Arudha Pada and other Padas


A gentleman, A, owns a scooter for 15 years and is very happy, fond and proud of it, and he rides it to work everyday. Another gentleman, B, owns a few fine cars, but is not happy with them and always hopes to buy better cars.
If you ask someone, "which of these two gentlemen is blessed/more blessed with happiness from vehicles? The most likely answer would be –“the person owning the few fine cars.

The world has its own PERCEPTIONS/MAYA/ILLUSION!! The material world is swayed by ‘Maya’ or ‘illusion’. The same thing is true for most aspects of life.

How did the situation get affected by Maya/Perception? =

Though the owner of the scooter, A, is happier in terms of happiness from vehicle… the fact remains, that he does not possess good vehicles as compared to the other owner, B, who possesses many fine cars.
The ‘OTHERS’ viewing this incident…. observes/will observe that the owner, B, possesses more vehicles…… WHICH IS VERY TRUE & CORRECT……which goes to say that PERCEPTION IS REALITY IN THE WORLD OF MAYA OR ILLUSION.

If a central minister just left an astrologer after astrological consultations, others will probably think that the astrologer is good. If another astrologer tells others that he does not demand a fixed fee for astrological consultations and take whatever clients happily give, others will probably think that he is not a good astrologer. Is every astrologer consulted by central ministers necessarily good? Can't an astrologer who does not demand a large fee be good?
If I tell you I did my B.Tech at IIT, you will probably think that I am a smart person. If I tell you I did my B.Tech at not so well known engineering College", you will probably not get the same impression. Is everyone at IIT necessarily smarter than everyone at the latter college? Probably not! However, we always jump to conclusions and form ideas and perceptions that are possibly wrong, because we are swayed by the ‘Maya’ of this material world.
Outer trappings matter more than the inner truth.
How people perceive and judge a native is guided by the Maya of this material world.
Those perceptions are merely illusions and the reality can be different from them.
The question in front of astrologers is: "How do we distinguish between the illusions of the material world and the reality?"

LAGNA is the REAL YOU (satya peetha/seat of Truth).    ARUDHA LAGNA (AL) (maya peetha/seat of Illusion) is the ILLUSION or MAYA or PERCEPTION.

Both stand for self, but different shades of self. Lagna stands for true self and arudha lagna stands for perceived self.
Therefore Arudha lagna stands for "self, as perceived by this world of Maya”.
Classics attribute many matters to each house.

CALCULATING ARUDHA LAGNA

Counting the number of signs from the lord of Lagna as it has gained from Lagna we arrive at the Arudha Lagna. For example, if the lord of Lagna is in the third house, counting three signs from the third house, we arrive at the fifth house that becomes the Arudha Lagna.
There are two riders, as exceptions, to this. (1)If the Arudha Lagna is in the Lagna itself, the tenth house from that should be treated as the Arudha Lagna. (2) If the Arudha Lagna is in the seventh house, the fourth house (which is the tenth house to the seventh house) should be treated as the Arudha Lagna.
The Arudha Lagna plays a vital role in determining our states/job in this material world.

The Arudha Pada for all the houses and these are Pada house name and symbol
1 pada, lagna pada, arudha lagna =AL
2 Dhana pada, Kosa pada=A2
3 Vikrama pada or Bhratripada =A3
4 Matripada, Sukhapada =A4
5 Mantra pada, Putrapada =A5
6 Rogapada, Satrupada, Aripada =A6
7 Darapada, Kalatrapada A7
8 Marana or Mrityu pada, Randhrapada =A8
9 Pitripada, Dharmapada =A9
10 Karmapada, Rajyapada =A10
11 Labhapada =A11
12 Vyaya pada, Gauna pada =A12 or UL

Dear Rishi ji

I understood the calculation point of view but why the exception for the padas falling in own or 7th

I mean isn't there person who is internally same as others think or opposite to it ( I mean it related to padas of own or 7th house of desire)

And even if they fall in above rule why only then the 10th house is considered is there relation to 10th from 1st or 4th from 7th

Regards
