Argala in Jaimini Astrology

Each sign and planet aspects another sign or planet according to its position and nature. The effects of these aspects are based on the auspiciousness or inauspiciousness of planets and signs. This is known as Argala. In other words, Argala are the signs and planets that affect a person’s Kundali in an important way. Through Argala, we may know about future incidents in a person’s life.

Formation of Argala

A house is known as Argala when a planet in second, fourth, fifth or eleventh house is aspecting another planet in these houses. Ketu is not considered for the formation of Argala. This means if Ketu is in a house, it can not be termed as Argala. A planet in the night house from the house in which Ketu resides can be considered Argala. Argala is considered to be very important in astrology.

Auspicious and Inauspicious Argala

Auspicious Argala is formed if natural auspicious planets are in second, fourth, fifth and eleventh house. If Sun, Mars, Saturn and Rahu are in these houses, it is an auspicious Argala. Argala is also formed if these planets are in the third house. In order to lead a peaceful and happy life, it is necessary that your kundali is affected by an auspicious Argala.

Ineffective Argala

Due to the presence of certain planets in some houses, Argala may even be ineffective at times. It is believed that if there are planets in tenth, twelfth, third and ninth house, Argala in second, fourth, eleventh and ninth house becomes ineffective. According to Jaimini astrology, Argala of ninth house is ineffective with the presence of Ketu in fifth house. In the same way, Argala in tenth house is ineffective with the presence of planets in the fourth house. Argala in second house, third house and ninth house are ineffective with planets in twelfth house, eleventh house and fifth house respectively.

Effects of Argala

According to beliefs, Argala gives auspicious results during dasha of the sign of the house in which Argala is formed. Inauspicious Argala naturally gives inauspicious results. A person is very fortunate with Argala in ascendant and seventh house, A person benefits from business partnerships. He earns a lot of wealth and lives a happy married life.
