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.
