5th house from Arudha Lagna

Narasimha Rao used the 5th house to differentiate 4 points of perceptible reference: “The influences on the 5th from lagna show if the person is intelligent and capable. The influences on the 5th from arudha lagna show if the person is perceived by the world to be intelligent. The influences on A5 show if the person materially achieves things that are supposed to come from intelligence (e.g. awards, prizes, special recognition etc). The influences of planetary arudhas (instead of planets) on the 5th from lagna show what the person himself thinks of his intelligence [2].” In the example, we have Albert Einstein‘s chart, he has a dimanta yoga with 1st , 3rd , 4th and 5th lord conjunct as well as exalted 6th lord, and a neecha banga , this shows he was intelligent. Einstein’s AL5 has and Exalted and , which shows people’s awe at the might of his intelligence. It is said that if the 5th from AL is weak, perceived abilities are poor. People think the person is not intelligent [3], but if it is exalted people will praise their intelligence. His A5 (recognition/achievements) is opposite with Uccha having rasi drishti, the lord of A5 is the which is digbala, conjunct an uccha graha and neecha banga graha, this shows his recognition for his creative intelligence.

The AL5 is a sattvic (sustaining) house. It again has the same karaka as the previous sattvic house, but comes to be the secondary sustenance. It shows the achievements and recognition that one gets for their learning and skills. One who is known to be a good craftsman will gain more sustenance than one who is not known as a good craftsman. This can also be compared with the AL of the D10 and D24 for insight into respective areas.

Jaimini says that “If , or are present in the fifth house [from Arudha lagna or Paka Arudha Saptama] political/governmental authority is obtained or the native becomes a government emissary.” This government position is relative to the sustenance of raja yogas held in the chart, and the type of authority will relate to other combinations as this shows the sustenance of the persons government career. After researching this combination, I have not found it to be very clear cut.

As I looked at many charts I did not see that many major government officials having benefics planets in AL5 (or 5th from Paka Arudha Saptama). Maybe this shows our bad leadership in this present age, or maybe there is something more to the rule. The point to note from this rule is that benefics here will make a person more of a leader and good in leadership roles (positions of authority). This is opposed to malefics in the 6th making one good at military service, which many modern day politicians seem to have.
