Calculate the reflection of a house, including the exception, and read the Arudha Lagna.

This chapter is part of Gurukul Plus

The foundational curriculum — grahas, rashis, bhavas, nakshatras, dashas and how to read a chart with them — is free to read here and free to practise in the app. Jaimini Essentials: Karakas & Arudhas is one of the advanced chapters, and its teaching text comes with Plus.

Plus is ₹199 a month, or ₹1,999 a year. It opens every advanced chapter and raises your saved charts from one to four, so you can work on family charts alongside your own. Both plans renew until you cancel, and cancelling takes one click.

Writing up your experience in the community earns Plus days too — see the subreddit.

Terms introduced here

Computing an arudha pada: Count from the house to its lord, count the same again from the lord; if that lands on the house or its 7th, take the 10th from there.
The Arudha Lagna: The arudha of the 1st house: how the person is seen, as distinct from the lagna, which is who they are.
Reading Jaimini points without over-reading: Each point is one witness. Count agreement across both systems, flag fragile assignments, and never read looks, dates or verdicts from a single karaka.
