[Jagannath] Argala

[Guest guest]

Jai Jai Sri Jagannath!!!

 

Dear Gauranga,

 

Here's my bit on argala. Hope this helps!

 

ARGALA

 

Argala means intervention in the affairs of a sign (Rashi) or graha by another rashi or graha.

 

Argala can be of two types viz., (i) Shubhargala (good intervention) caused by benefic rasi/graha, and (ii) Papargala (bad intervention) caused by malefic rasi/graha.

 

However, such Argala is also obstructed by other rasi/graha.

 

The strength, effect and prevalence of the Argala or obstruction to the argala is determined from the strength of the rasi/graha (determined by the standard methods) causing the Argala and obstruction. The result of the stronger of the two causes it (Argala/obstruction) to prevail.

 

The following rules explain the cause of Argala and the obstruction to it:

 

CAUSE OF ARGALA

 

RULE - I

 

The rasi or planet(s) in the 2nd, 4th and 11th houses from a rasi/graha intervene or cause ‘Argala’in the affairs of the latter. (UPSJ: 1.1.4)

 

RULE – II

 

Malefic rasi/planet(s) in the 3rd from a rasi/graha also cause ‘Argala’ on the said rasi.

 

(Note: A malefic/malefics in the 3rd not only cause obstruction of the Argala of the 11th rasi/graha, but they themselves cause Argala simultaneously.

 

RULE – III

 

The rasi/graha in the 5th also cause secondary level ‘Argala’ on the said rasi.

 

OBSTRUCTION OF ARGALA

 

RULE – I

 

The rasi/graha in the 3rd, 10th and 12th from a rasi/graha obstruct the Argala.

 

RULE – II

 

The rasi/graha in the 9th obstructs the Argala caused by the rasi/graha in the 5th (Rule – III above).

 

EXCEPTION REGARDING KETU

 

In the case of a sign occupied by Ketu, the reckoning of both Argala and Obstruction caused by the said rais/Ketu is always done in the reverse direction (anti clockwise).

 

Hare Krishna,

Regards,

Sarat.
