4th and 5th Houses from the Arudha Lagna

This is the Introduction from a lecture giving at the SJC West Coast Conference Tuesday, August 31, 2004. CD's and/or MP3's of the lecture are available at the Laksmi store and proceeds support the SJC.


Houses: [1] [2,3] [4,5] [6,7] [8,9] [10] [11] [12]

4th house from Arudha Lagna

The AL4 is a creating (rajasic) house with the natural karaka of the Moon. Where the AL worked for its own image, the AL4 is working more after the family or community of the person.

Trines are the most important from the lagna and the Sun, Quadrants are most important from the Moon and the Arudha Lagna. The strongest planet in a quadrant will have a large influence on how a person is perceived in the world [1]. One can examine the planets conjunct the AL as well as planets in quadrants to it to see what people are known most for. Jaimini says that “Venus and Moon, either jointly or independently, aspecting or conjoining the first or fourth house give various luxuries and paraphernalia generally attendant upon royalty” (1.3.45). A digbala planet well placed will give abundantly of its significations.

Digbala from the lagna will show which direction the intelligence is being applied and will give great strength in that direction. The aspects on a house will give opportunity for the fulfillment of that same end (rasi drishti), using Narayan dasa the person will go towards that direction. Digbala from AL determines which planets have the power to transport the mind. The digbalas from the AL show which direction you can travel for various purposes. Venus represents the South East direction, the physical direction comes from the direction your mind wants you to go. There was an Indian with Venus in the 4th from the AL, he wanted to go to America , but instead went South East to Malaysia . If a planet is in digbala from the AL it can take you in that direction during that dasa.

 

5th house from Arudha Lagna

The AL5 is a sattvic (sustaining) house. It again has the same karaka as the previous sattvic house, but comes to be the secondary sustenance. It shows the achievements and recognition that one gets for their learning and skills. One who is known to be a good craftsman will gain more sustenance than one who is not known as a good craftsman. This can also be compared with the AL of the D10 and D24 for insight into respective areas.

Jaimini says that “If Jupiter, Venus or Moon are present in the fifth house [from Arudha lagna or Paka Arudha Saptama] political/governmental authority is obtained or the native becomes a government emissary.” This government position is relative to the sustenance of raja yogas held in the chart, and the type of authority will relate to other combinations as this shows the sustenance of the persons government career. After researching this combination, I have not found it to be very clear cut. As I looked at many charts I did not see that many major government officials having benefics planets in AL5 (or 5th from Paka Arudha Saptama). Maybe this shows our bad leadership in this present age, or maybe there is something more to the rule. The point to note from this rule is that benefics here will make a person more of a leader and good in leadership roles (positions of authority). This is opposed to malefics in the 6th making one good at military service, which many modern day politicians seem to have.

Narasimha Rao used the 5th house to differentiate 4 points of perceptible reference: “The influences on the 5th from lagna show if the person is intelligent and capable. The influences on the 5th from arudha lagna show if the person is perceived by the world to be intelligent. The influences on A5 show if the person materially achieves things that are supposed to come from intelligence (e.g. awards, prizes, special recognition etc). The influences of planetary arudhas (instead of planets) on the 5th from lagna show what the person himself thinks of his intelligence [2].” In the example, we have Albert Einstein's chart, he has a dimanta yoga with 1st , 3rd , 4th and 5th lord conjunct as well as exalted 6th lord, and a neecha banga Mercury, this shows he was intelligent. Einstein's AL5 has and Exalted Mars and Rahu, which shows people's awe at the might of his intelligence. It is said that if the 5th from AL is weak, perceived abilities are poor. People think the person is not intelligent [3], but if it is exalted people will praise their intelligence. His A5 (recognition/achievements) is opposite Jupiter with Uccha Mars having rasi drishti, the lord of A5 is the Sun which is digbala, conjunct an uccha graha and neecha banga graha, this shows his recognition for his creative intelligence.
