Arudha Lagna (AL) Calculator

Arudha Lagna is the "image" of your Lagna in Jaimini astrology — how the world perceives you rather than who you truly are. It is found by projecting the Lagna lord from its sign, and this tool computes your Arudha Lagna along with all twelve arudha padas from your birth details.

How the Arudha Lagna is calculated

The Arudha Lagna (AL, or A1) is the arudha pada of the 1st house. In Jaimini astrology every house has an arudha — its worldly projection — found by a simple counting rule applied to the house lord.

  • Find the lord of the Lagna (1st house) and the sign it occupies.
  • Count the number of signs from the Lagna to that lord.
  • Count the same number of signs onward from the lord — that sign is the Arudha Lagna.
  • Exception: if the result falls on the Lagna itself or the 7th from it, the 10th house is taken as the arudha instead.

What the Arudha Lagna reveals

Where the Lagna shows your true self, the Arudha Lagna shows your maya — the reputation, status and image the world attaches to you. Planets sitting in or aspecting the AL colour how you are seen.

  • Lagna = who you truly are; Arudha Lagna = how the world perceives you.
  • Wealth and worldly status are read in Jaimini from the AL and the 2nd sign from it.
  • The wider padas extend the idea: Darapada (A7) for relationships, Rajapada (A10) for career image, and Upapada (UL/A12) for marriage.

How to Find Your Arudha Lagna

  1. Enter your birth details: Add your date, exact time and place of birth so the chart, Lagna and planetary signs can be cast accurately.
  2. Read your Arudha Lagna: The tool locates your Lagna lord, applies the projection rule, and shows the sign of your Arudha Lagna (AL) with any planets placed in it.
  3. Review all arudha padas: Check the full set of padas A1–A12, including Darapada, Rajapada and Upapada, to see how different areas of life project to the world.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the Lagna and the Arudha Lagna?

The Lagna represents your true self and reality, while the Arudha Lagna is its worldly reflection — the image and status the world assigns to you. The gap between the two shows how much perception differs from who you actually are.

How is the Arudha Lagna calculated?

Find the sign holding the Lagna lord, count the distance from the Lagna to that lord, then project the same distance forward from the lord. If the result lands on the Lagna or the 7th from it, the 10th house is used instead.

What are arudha padas?

Arudha padas (A1–A12) are the projected images of each house, showing how its matters appear to the outside world. This tool lists all twelve, including the Arudha Lagna (A1) and the Upapada (A12), the primary Jaimini marriage indicator.
