Argala - Intervention from Planets

i. Formation of Argala:

  Lords / Planets in the fourth, second and eleventh cause Argalas, while obstructors of   t   the Argala will be those in the tenth, twelfth and third from a sec- tion or a Lord or Planet. If the Argala causing Planet is stronger than the obstructing one, the former will prevail. Or, if the number of Argalas is more than the obstructing Planets, then also the Argala will prevail. If there are three or more malefics in the third they will cause opposite Argala (more effective intervention), which will also be harmless and be very favourable. The fifth is also an Argala place, while the Planet in the ninth will counteract such Argala. As Rahu and Ketu have retrograde motions, the Argalas and obstructions be also counted accordingly in a reverse manner. The Argala, caused by one Plan- et, will yield limited effect, by two medium and by more than two, excellent effects. Argalas should be counted from a Sign or a Planet, as the case may be. The Argala, which is unobstructed, will be fruitful, while the one duly obstructed will go astray. The Argala effects will be derived in the Dasha periods of the Sign, or Planet concerned. 

ii. The Argala, caused by placement of a planet in the first one fourth part of the Sign, is countered by another, placed in the fourth quarter of the respective obstructive Sign. Similarly second quarter’s Argala is eliminated by the third quarter placement of another Planet. 

iii. Argala Effects:

  Should there be Argala for the Arudh Quarter, for the natal Ascendant and for the seventh from both, the native will be famous and  fortunate. 

A malefic, or a benefic, causing unobstructed Argala, giving a aspect to ascendant will make one famous. Similarly a malefic, or a benefic, causing unobstructed Argala, giving aspect to second section denotes acquisition of wealth and grains, to Third Section happiness from co–born, to First Section residences, quadrupeds and relatives, to Fifth Section sons, grandsons and intelligence, to Sixth Section fear from enemies, to Seventh Section abundant wealth and marital happiness, to Eighth Section difficulties, to Ninth Section fortunes, to Tenth Section royal honour, to Eleventh Section gains and to Twelfth Section expenses. The Argala by benefics will give various kinds of happiness, while benefic effects will be meddling with malefic Argalas. Argala by both benefics and malefics will yield results. 

iv. Argala can be by a malefic with reference to a benefic, so that the native does not enjoy good effects, due to the benefic. This is malefic Argala. If the Argala is eliminated by a benefic, or a malefic, then the first mentioned benefic will be at liberty to act, according to his own disposition. 

v. Should there be (unobstructed) Argala for First, Fifth or Ninth Section, the native will doubtlessly become a king and fortunate.
