True Reality and Perceptive Reality

               When we go the market to buy a something good, we ask the advice of the shopkeeper and or go by the advertisement and or go by the brand name of the product. This we do most of the time, but also try to check quality of the product by feeling/smelling it.
              Most people don’t buy the soap that will get their clothing the cleanest, they buy the one that has had the best effect on their mind through commercial advertising, graphic design of the box, and other such marketing aimed at one’s perceptions.
              A boss doesn’t always pick the most capable person, they pick the one that presents themselves the best, and is ‘perceived’ as the best employee for the job. The perception, the perceived aspect of oneself, is very influential with ones interaction with reality. This is especially pertinent when dealing with how a person relates to others and to the public.
             The people at your work place do not know the REAL “YOU”. They only know what they perceive about you, what you consciously let them know, what you unconsciously let them know, what you pretend to be, and all these together through the perception of their mind. Which makes their image of you far/different from the REAL TRUTH? Thus it becomes a reflection of the REAL TRUTH.
              This is often called delusion more than reality, as our perceptions rarely meet with the reality of the material world. But this reality that exists in our heads is often more influential in our behavior than the material world itself.
              Your own perception of yourself is the True Reality, which is an internal matter/manifestation’ meaning that it is about ‘Yourself’ as seen from “Your”. This is seen from Lagna.
              Others perception of you/yourself is the Perceptive Reality, which is an external matter/manifestation’ meaning that it is about the view/sighting about ‘YOURSELF’ as seen from “THEIR” eyes. This is seen from Arudha Lagna/AL.
              Perceptive Reality is the ‘True picture’ in our material world of Maya/Illusion; because we do not live alone, but with THEM. In other words, it is the True” picture the material world has for you. This very Real “picture/sighting” is seen from Arudha Padas.
              The term Arudha Pada is also commonly called “PADA”. Arudha means "MOUNT" and refers to the IMAGE of a sign falling on another due to "reflection of the rays emanating from it and being reflected by its lord.
The Karaka/significator of the Arudha Pada is the Moon.

Understand Maya--The illusion caused by attachments

The whole world is Maya. The world is created by the mind, by perception, the world is perception. This illusion effectively acts on the manifestation of reality.
Illusions of the world about a native are just one side of the Maya of this world. There is another side – illusions of the native about the world and himself. These are shown by the arudha padas of planets.
A mature astrologer can distinguish between reality and illusion and use the correct tools in his astrological analysis.
One can deduce the meanings of various arudha padas in various divisional charts, keeping in mind that arudha padas basically show Maya associated with various matters.

What is the exact difference in seeing the characteristics of a house from AL and the pada of the house signifying those affairs ?
For e.g. I want to find out about someone's marriage, I look at seventh house from AL in rasi, I can look at A7/UL in rasi. Having looked at both, I have a lot of data, how do I reconcile both of these and come up with the correct conclusion ? or in your experience what works the best ?

Dont you think its answer is bit obvious :-
I understood now why the moon is natural kaakas of arudhas as moon represents mind and inner self but does krishna or shukla paksha moon have role in it too
