Arudha Lagna

 

In Vedic astrology, Arudha Lagna means once tied up attained rising sign and represents how others perceive the self, reflecting once public image based on once actions and the image of projection.

While the main Lagna or natural ascendant reflects once true personality, Arudha Lagna focuses on the image one present to the world, which is mostly different from the image one has of the self.

 It essentially explores how once actions and attributes manifest in the eyes of others and what the world will offer to sustain the self.

Arudha Lagna reveals the reputation one has created and its karmic influence seen as a reflection of ones past actions and how they impact the current image. Arudha Lagna is associated with wealth, success, and fame, impacting the career and once social standing.

In essence, Arudha Lagna is a powerful tool in Jyotish for understanding how once actions and personality manifest in the eyes of others, and how this perceived image influences once life's path and opportunities in the world and society.

The beauty of Jyotish lies in the ability to independently assess different aspects of human existence and once worldly image and status evolve on the influences affecting the Arudha Lagna.

The Moon represents society and one needs a social identity to exist as an independent person in society and need to look at from the Arudha Lagna and its social identity or image of a person. Aspects of planets good or bad, peaceful or aggressive, intelligent or introvert are all social categorizations to describe a person. 

When one renounces society and becomes a Monk or Seer, one gives up self-identity and once worldly belongings, relationships, status, and even name. Arudha Lagna is perception of the third dimension once perception is the reality and embodies the greatest truths about the self, understanding that one is not always what it seems.

Mental projections are more often delusion, than factual reality, as ones perceptions rarely meet with the reality of the material world. But this reality that exists in our heads is often more influential in our behavior than the material world itself. The perception, the perceived aspect of the self, is very influential with ones interaction with reality.

How wonderful it is to feel, that if no one in the world understands the self, still the divine order and its cue to individuality and soul, understood by God.
