paraphernalia
Moon and arudha lagna
• Moon as significator
• Lagna is satyapeetha, karaka is sun
• Arudha lagna is mayapeetha, thus the
reflector, moon is karaka
• Paka lagna is the place of intelligence, so
Jupiter is significator

• Sun in arudha lagna exalted vs debilitated
• Similarly for other planets

bhavas

changes of Image
The image or ärudha is mäyä or untruth and cannot be
permanent. It changes with time based on daçä.
Every dasä affects the äruòha by (1) house placement
from it and (2) argalä (planetary intervention)
Näräyana dasä, Vimsottari daçä and other such methods
of progression are useful tools to decipher the changes
in image.
Natural years of carakäraka replacement also cause
major changes in the ärudha.
