Fwd: Some Argala Questions...

[Guest guest]

Jaya Jagannatha!

Dear Kasthuri Rangan,

Thank you for replying. My comments below.

there is some confusion. When you consider argalas or >virodhargalas, first

consider a house. Then the 2nd, 4th and 11th >from that house or planets

contained therein will cause argalas on >the house in question. the 5th from

the said house will cause >secondary argala. Similarly, the 12th, 10th and 3rd

from the said >house and planets contained therein will cause virodhargala or

>opposition to argala. 9th from the house in question will offer >virodhargala

on the secondary argala. > >Lets say Gemini is the house in question. > >Argala

to Gemini will come from Cancer (2nd), Virgo (4th) and Aries >(11th). The

secondary argala to Gemini will come from Libra (5th). >Virodhargala to Gemini

secondary argala will come from >Aquarius (9th). > >Argala can be malefic or

Thank you. But, the question I was asking was..."2nd sign has argala

(help/intervention) on the 1st. And the same first sign has Virodhargala on the

2nd". I was wondering if there is a deeper concept to this seemingly

contradicting argala/virodhargala opposition.

After thinking for a while, it does make sense. even though i don't fully

understand it. What i was doing wrong was, considering the 1st as still

firstHouse/sign when looking at virodhargala on 2nd for eg. Instead if we shift

the focus to 2nd (which is what we are looking at), than the 1st becomes 12th --

and it makes sense, now. I am still not sure, why 11th intervenes while 3rd

opposes the same, and 4th intervenes and 10th opposes the same etc...

All Panaparas (2,5,8,11) from a house/sign cause argala (intervene/help) while

Apoklimas (3,6,9,12) cause virodharlaga (obstruct), in addition to 4(cause

argala) and 10 (cause virodhargala). What is the underlying concept/principle

for this?. Hope Gurus will clear our doubts.

>There may be argala without virodhargala. This means that argala or

if a beneficial argala >exists and there is a malefic planet which offers

virodhargala, I >think one should consider the strength of the planet/pada to

>relating the 3rd house virodhargala.if there are more malefics in the >3rd
