Arudha Lagna Calculator - Your Public Image from your Vedic Chart

The Lagna is who you actually are; the Arudha Lagna is how the world sees you. Jaimini treats the gap between them as meaningful - a person can be modest by nature and be perceived as powerful, or the reverse. Reputation, status and the material image all read from the AL rather than from the ascendant.

Count from the house to its lord, then count the same number of signs again from that lord. For the Arudha Lagna you start from the 1st house. One classical exception applies: if the result lands in the same sign as the house or in the 7th from it, you take the 10th sign from that point instead.

Because it shows the resources that sustain the image. Benefics there support lasting prosperity and a reputation that holds up; malefics suggest an image that costs more to maintain than it returns. It is one of the most-used derived houses in Jaimini practice.

Not straightforwardly. The classical reading is that malefics on the AL make a person more visible and more talked about, while benefics make them better liked. Public figures very often have malefics there. Read it as prominence with friction rather than as damage to reputation.

It is one input, not the answer. A full assessment of fame and wealth also weighs the 10th house, the 11th from the Arudha Lagna and the chart as a whole, and no single point decides it. The fame possibility reading pulls those factors together.

No. Arudha is a derived pada - the image the world holds of a house. Argala is occupancy of the 2nd, 4th and 11th from a house, and whether those interventions are obstructed. Use the Jaimini Argala calculator for intervention; this page is the public-image lagna.
