Concept of Argala-1



Argala is a very important concept in Vedic astrology. Literally speaking, argala means “a bolt”. Argala on a house shows the influences that intervene in its affairs, decide some parts of it and close the bolt on it, so to speak. Planet having rasi drishti have a small influence. Planets having graha drishti have a more concrete influence. Planets with argala simply decide some parts of the matter signified by the house. The influence caused by argala is decisive.

Argala  could be understood as a special aspect , concept of argala /aspect has been already explained in the earlier post . Here i want to just explore the potential and reach of the argala , apart from the Bhava and Argala on the planet on it – resultant impact could be felt elsewhere also .

In the above mentioned chart of the famous indian actress , planet causing Argala on her 10th house and sun placed in it would be –  Mercury  from the 11th house  ( 2nd from it Primary Argala) , jupiter  from Lagna ( 4th from it ) – now three planet venus , rahu and moon causing Argala from 12th house ( virodh argala to the 11th house argala from 10th ie 8th house – which is vacant ) and causing its independent argala  also .

Now my point is while this planet have this special aspect on 10th house and planet in it , but  sun also have rashi aspect on 2nd house  , 5th house  and 8th house  which are in a way vacant . When deciding the result of the 2nd house / 5th house/8th house we can;t ignore  the planet Causing  ARGALA on SUN from 10th – which would be aspecting these house .

 

So here 2nd house matter would have , interference from these ARGALA causing planet on 10th and so on – phew very complicated , but in a way life is not so easy .
