RUHA CONCEPT
1. Introduction & calculation
Two chapters of Bhat Parsara Hor stra namely paddhyya (ruha or pada) and upapaddhyya (Gauna or Upapda) are the foundation for understanding the concept of ruha pada in jyotia. 1.1 Method of pada calculation

Parsara teaches the calculation of the ruha or pada for the Bhva and Graha in paddhyya (ruha or pada). The pada of the Lagna will correspond to the ri arrived at by counting as many ri from lagna lord as he is away from the lagna bhva. Similarly for graha pada, count from the graha to its own ri and then count as many ri from this own ri. However, the ruha pada of any bhva or graha cannot be in the same bhva or the seventh from it. In such a case where the ruha/pada falls in the same bhva or the seventh from it, the ruha/pada should be taken as being in the tenth (10th) bhva from the one arrived at. Similarly ruha or pada of the other bhva can be calculated from their lords. Unless otherwise specified, the word pada or ruha generally refers to ruha lagna or lagna pada and this is of primary importance. If a graha owns two ri or if a ri is owned by two graha, then consider the stronger ri/graha respectively for the calculation of the graha/bhva pada respectively. For this purpose note that (1) the planets from Mars to Saturn own two signs each and (2) Aquarius is owned by Saturn & Rhu while Scorpio is owned by Mars & Ketu. Determination of the stronger planet/sign is as per standard rules of sources of strength of signs and planets (refer Nryaa da book by this author). 1.2 Nomenclature: The prefix A for ruha is used Graha Sun Moon Mars Mercury Jupiter Venus Saturn Rhu Ketu Pada name Srya pada Candra pada Kuja pada Buddha pada Guru pada ukra pada ani pada Rhu pada Ketu pada Symbol ASu AMo AMa AMe AJu AVe ASa ARa AKe

2. ruha: income & expenditure

2.1.1 Source of income or financial gains If the 11th from ruha lagna is either occupied or aspected by a planet, the native will be happy and rich. The people causing these gains are seen from the natural signification of these planets. Natural benefic planets show wealth coming through various means while natural malefic planets indicate questionable means. If both benefic and malefic planets are there then either both means exist or the dominant planet shall have a say. If the planet(s) are in exaltation, mlatrikona or svaketra then the native has good finances and comforts. Jaimini stresses the need to examine the 6th house from ruha lagna for the specific purpose of determining the means adopted for questionable income due to the dictum tanou tana daa hara i.e. the 6th house is the daa (punishment) as the 11th house (being 6th from the 6th house bhavat bhva principle) is the hara (destruction/ Rudra). For example if Mars is associated with the 6th from ruha lagna then the native may join the police department and can have side income by using the methods of Mars like threatening or putting fear in some form or manner. Such people are great fighters as well since malefic planets in the 3rd or 6th house from AL give a lot of parkrama. If the 12th house from ruha lagna is neither occupied or aspected by a graha while the 11th house from ruha lagna is either occupied or aspected by graha, then the inflow is unobstructed without having the obligation of meeting expenses.

2.1.2 Quantum of income or financial gains The quantum of income or financial gains will correspond to the number of planets placed in or aspecting the 11th house while the expenses will depend on the number of planets placed in or aspecting the 12th house from ruha lagna. Wealth is multiplied if the number for gains is much higher than that for expenses. Another method of judging this is to examine the number of sarvakavarga dots in the 11th and 12th houses from AL. A greater number in the 11th house is conducive for a higher income. Finally, it is the Nryaa da of the signs aspecting the 11th from ruha lagna that give the periods of better income and raise. ruha pada of other bhva placed in the 11th house from ruha lagna indicates gains from such bhva as well. The quantum of gains is progressively more if If there is argal on the 11th house, especially that of a benefic planet; If the abovementioned planet causing argal is in svaketra, mlatrikona or exaltation, the gains will be progressively higher. If the said 11th house is aspected by a benefic planet, especially from lagna or 9th house, the gains will be progressively higher. If a planet is placed in the 11th house from ruha lagna in svaketra, mlatrikona or exaltation, the gains will be progressively higher. In all these cases, the 12th house from AL should also be free from malefic association.

2.1.3 Source of expenditure or financial loss Losses and expenditure is seen from the 12th house from ruha lagna. If the 12th house from ruha lagna is either occupied or aspected by both benefic and malefic planets, the native will have high earnings but many expenses as well. Just as mentioned for the 11th house from AL, benefic planets cause income and expenditure through fair means while malefic planets indicate unfair or illegal means. The dominant influence maybe considered in the case of both benefic and malefic planets besides realizing that both sources of income and expenditure shall prevail. ruha pada of other bhva placed in the 12th house from lagna pada also indicate the sources of troubles and losses provided they have malefic associations else they will indicate heavy expenses inspite of high earnings. The nature of the planet indicates the sources of losses and expenditure. Sun, Venus and Rhu indicate expenses on government (king) account. If the Moon is also involved with these planets then the losses will surely occur and will be quite heavy threatening insolvency, debts and other problems. Sun causes trouble with top government leaders or the king himself, Venus indicates bureaucrats while Rhu shows troubles due to deadly politicians and schemers. In all such cases, the malefic planets in the 6th house from ruha lagna should be stronger than those in the 12th house to show success in the battle.

If instead, Mercury is either placed, aspects or associates with the 12th from ruha lagna, then the losses or expenses are due to relatives. A malefic planet associating with mercury can indicate disputes and litigation as the cause of a financial loss and trouble. Jupiter instead causes expenses due to huge (inflated) taxes besides excessive personal expenses. Saturn and Mars show expenses due to elder/younger coborn respectively. These very people indicated for losses shall be the source of income or gains if these planets associate with the 11th house from ruha lagna.

3. ruha: Health issues

Health related matters are examined from the mraka 2nd & 7th houses. If the nodes Rhu or Ketu are placed in these houses from ruha lagna, the native will be troubled by disorders of the stomach or fire. The stomach is kept in order by the garbha agni (digestive fire). Thus, the nodes placed in the mraka houses causes troubles due to the digestive fire or external fire hazards. Worshipping agni devat (adhi devat of the Sun) is recommended. Saturn & Rhu associating in the 2nd /7th house show premature death or calamity. It can also show loss of leg or troubles in the knees provided the ninth house from lagna is also afflicted. Lameness is sure to happen if the said sign is also owned by Saturn while Saturn alone causes windy disorders. Venus and Ketu in the 2nd /7th house show disorder of blood, leukorrhea etc, while Venus afflicted by Saturn or nodes

 SANJA Y RATH, MAR 2004

can show spermatorrhea. Mercury afflicted by Ketu in the 2nd /7th house shows breakage of bones, while its affliction by Saturn or Rhu causes various hormonal disorders and excessive fat. Affliction by the Sun also causes hormonal disorders while Rhu, Saturn & Sun will cause distress of bones and strange fevers. If the 2nd /7th house happens to be owned by Mercury or Mars and is occupied by Mars & Saturn, nasal disorders are indicated while Mars & Sun so placed caused nasal obstruction or bleeding of the nose. If Jupiter & Saturn are in the 2nd /7th house disorders of ears and/or eyes are indicated. Mercury & Mars in signs other than those they own or Jupiter & Rhu so placed in the 2nd /7th house show dental problems. Ketu placed in such houses aspected by another malefic indicates that the native is adventurous, has (prematurely) grey hair and a big male organ.

4. Door to the ruha 7th house

If Jupiter, Venus or Moon are alone or in combination in the 7th house from ruha lagna, the native will be very wealthy. If a planet (both benefic or malefic) is exalted in the 7th house from ruha lagna, the native will be affluent and famous. Moon & Jupiter placed in the 1st or 7th house from ruha lagna promise fame through popularity and knowledge/intelligence respectively. The 2nd house is also like the 7th house in this aspect and for this reason, the cara drkraka is the significator of both 7th and 2nd houses. Mercury, Jupiter or Venus placed in these houses promise wealth and riches due to spouse/business (7th house) and family/inheritance etc (2nd house). In such houses, Mercury makes a person lord over vast lands while Venus gives eloquence, poetry and entertainment skills that cause the rjayoga.

5. ruha & Darpada: Relationship issues

The ruha lagna indicates the individual personality as perceived by the world and hence the Moon is the natural significator of the ruha lagna. The darpada is the personality of the spouse or partners. In the case of individuals the ruha lagna is important while for famous spouses the darpada needs examination. 5.1.1 Relationship with spouse If the darpada is in a kendra or koa from the ruha lagna, then the native is well off and also has good relationship with spouse (externally at least, as that is what ruha is all about). Such people will never leave their spouse. Strong planets in the ruha lagna/darpada give riches and fame due to the individual himself or spouse respectively. If the upapda is in a kendra or koa from the ruha lagna then the spouse is well off and shall love the native. If instead, the upapda is in a dusthna (6th/8th/12th house) from ruha lagna then the spouse shall reject the native and there shall be quarrels and constant bickering. 5.1.2 Love affairs Darpada also shows love affairs. If the darpada is in dusthna (6th/ 8th/12th house) from ruha lagna, then the native will reject the spouse and have love affairs (outside marriage). If the darpada has the influence of many planets but is in a kendra or koa from ruha lagna, then the native has love affairs and loves spouse as well (very large hearted indeed)! Venus & Mars are the chief instigators of such external attachments while Jupiter and Saturn air the flame. Rhu is the clandestine operator. The only serious obstruction to this comes from moka karaka Ketu.

5.1.3 Cementing bonds Even if the darpada is in dusthna (6th/ 8th/12th house) from ruha lagna, if at least one planet connects the two of them while simultaneously being in kendra, koa or upacaya (3rd, 6th, 10th & 11th houses of growth), then the relationship will gradually mature after initial tribulations.

6. Universal principles
The principles taught by Parsara are universal in nature in that whatever has been stated for ruha lagna for the native is applicable to spouse from upapda and other relations from the other bhva ruha. Further, the rules/dictum given for ruha lagna are also applicable from krakma and pka lagna for the native while for other relations, they are examined from their respective carakraka or the pka ri of the bhva lords.

7. Upadea (Advise)
ruha is a very vast concept and it is not possible to teach everything in a few hours. We have explained the basic ruled for judging the ruha lagna this time. Further study includes 1. Bhva from ruha lagna like co-born from 3rd/11th houses from AL or co-born of spouse from 3rd/11th houses from UL. 2. Marriage(s) and divorce/separation from Upapda and examination of subsequent marriage from 8th house from UL etc. 3. Transits and other results from ruha have been discussed in the Deva Kerala (Candrakala ni). One has to be very careful in understanding these principles as some of the results are given for specific ni-ama and are not universally applicable. Principles like transit of Jupiter in kendra from AL being very good or aspecting the 2nd from UL (ri di on marriage date) for sustained marriage are universally applicable. 4. Bhva ruha reckoned from the Srya lagna or Candra lagna are very vital. For example the Sun in 2nd, 12th, 6th or 8th from AS3 or AS9 OR Mercury & Venus in AS3 or AS9, threaten lack of progeny and medical intervention will not work. Instead Gyatri mantra with Jala bjkara (va) will solve the problem.

5. Understanding Upapda is another issue especially when combined with the Upapda from srya and candra lagna i.e. UL (A12), AS12 and AMo12. Life after death is revealed from AMo12. 6. Examination of the various bhva pada with reference to the ruha lagna shows the relationship of these persons (externally) with the native. Similarly if done with the Upapda, the relationship with the spousal family comes to the fore. For example if the Moon is in 7th from AL then the native finds the mother to be in opposition or always controlling while the same Moon in the 7th from UL shows a very difficult mother-in-law. Note that we have taken mother for Moon in the example. 7. Graha pada are a separate matter altogether and they indicate the effect of people in our lives. We have given some examples of the use of graha pada in our books. Further study of this area is required. With these words, we conclude this session of the conference on Concepts in ruha.
