[Jagannath] Argala

[Guest guest]

Dear Saratji,

 

Jaya Jagannatha!

 

> (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.

 

What does that mean that malefic(s) in 3rd cause Argala themselves

simultaneously?

 

> The rasi/graha in the 5th also cause secondary level 'Argala' on the said

rasi.

 

What is the secondary level Argala? I couldn't find any explanation about

secondary level Argala in BPHS. What is the difference between primary and

secondary Argala?

 

> 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).

 

In BHPS ch. 31. verses 2-9, Santhanam's translation, it is said: " As the

nodes have retrograde motions, the Argalas and obstructions be also counted

accordingly in a reverse manner. "

 

Since Santhanam used plural for words node and motion, that would indicate

that wants to say that we should use reverse counting for reckoning Argala

for both nodes, Rahu and Ketu. Later in the notes on the same verse he is

giving an example where he is counting in reverse order to reckon the Argala

of Rahu which confirms the above verse from BPHS.

 

Also there is very important rule about Argala in the verse 10 of ch 31.:

" The Argala caused by placement of a planet in the first one fourth part of

the Rasi is countered by another placed in the 4th quarter of the respective

obstructive Rasi. Similarly 2nd quarter's Argala is eliminated by the 3rd

quarter placement. "

 

Santhanam explains: " If the Argala causing planet is in the first quarter

(or first 7 degrees 30 minutes of the sign), while the obstructing planet is

in the 4th quarter (22degrees 30 minutes to 30 degrees), the obstruction

indeed will come to pass... Likewise while the Argala planet is in the 2nd

quarter of the sign (i.e. 7 degrees 30 minutes to 15 degrees), the

obstruction (planet in 15degrees to 22 degrees 30 minutes i.e. 3rd quarter)

will combat the Argala. "
