Arudha Lagna

Arudha Lagna represents how the world perceives you — your public image, reputation, and material manifestation — as distinct from your true self (Lagna).

Understanding

What is Arudha Lagna?

Arudha Lagna (AL) is calculated by counting from the Lagna lord to its placement, then counting the same distance from that placement. If the result lands in the 1st or 7th from Lagna, special rules apply (it becomes the 10th or 4th instead). The AL shows your worldly image — how others see you, your social status, and material standing. It can differ dramatically from your actual Lagna. For example, someone with Pisces Lagna (spiritual) might have AL in Capricorn (perceived as ambitious and corporate). Planets influencing the AL shape public perception.

Application

What Arudha Lagna Means for You

Your Arudha Lagna reveals your public image. If it differs from your Ascendant, you may feel misunderstood — people see your Arudha, not your true nature.
