PrashnaArudhaAdvanced
Arudha Lagna, derived from the placement of the Lagna lord, represents the visible image of the question — what others see, where the answer manifests externally.
How Arudha is calculated
- Take the Lagna lord's placement.
- Count from Lagna lord to its sign — same number of signs forward from itself.
- The arrival sign is the Arudha Lagna.
What Arudha shows
- Public face of the matter.
- Where the outcome will be visible.
- Sometimes contradicts inner Lagna — interesting tension.
Practical use
- For social/public questions: Arudha is critical.
- For private health/internal questions: Lagna outranks Arudha.
- Both together give a complete picture.
