What is Argala (Planetary Intervention)?
Argala means 'bolt' or 'lever' and describes how planets intervene in a house's affairs from specific positions. Primary Argala comes from planets in the 2nd (wealth intervention), 4th (happiness intervention), and 11th (gains intervention) from any house. Counter-Argala (Virodha Argala) from the 12th, 10th, and 3rd can obstruct the primary Argala. If the intervening planet has more strength than the obstructing one, the Argala prevails. This system adds a layer of cross-house influence beyond standard aspects.
