What is Upapada Lagna
When it comes to understanding the complexities of marriage and relationships, Upapada Lagna in astrology offers profound insights. If you’re keen to understand more about your spouse, the quality of your married life, or even the challenges you might face, Upapada Lagna offers a unique technique for these aspects.
Rishi Parashar and Rishi Jaimini introduced us to the Concept of Upapada. Let’s take a closer look at what Upapada Lagna is and what it can reveal about our relationships.
Upapada Lagna or UL is the Arudha Pada of 12th house of our Horoscope. Some also call it as Vyaya Pada or A12 or Gaunapada. Upa or Gauna Means Follower. 12th House Follows the Lagna. In a Relationship husband or Wife follows the partner.
The reflection of a house is called Pada. Every house has its “pada”. The word pada, means foot, where something is actually standing or seeming to stand. The pada of the house is a place where we will get the results of the house. The manifestation of a house is seen from its pada.
The Arudha Pada of the Lagna is Called Arudha Lagna or AL and Upapada is the pada of the 12th house.
It Not only state About Our Spouse but it also indicates about condition of our Married Life and Relationship, Problems and difficulties we will face in our Relationship etc.
Question may arise in our Mind that 7th house is considered as the Main House for Marriage and Relationship but why Sage Jaimini used the Arudha of 12th house ?
Marriage and children are one of the major objectives of human life. Marriage is not only a conjugal right, but it is the institution of faith, acceptance and love. 12th House indicates our Bed Partner and Bed Pleasure, Conjugal Relationship, faith etc. That is Jaimini Rishi Suggested us to check the Arudha Pada of the 12th House i.e. Upapada.
Moreover it is the follower of Lagna or Ascendant. In Marriage Life Partner Follows the Native- husband follows wife or the Wife FOllows the husband. Therefore the Marriage Partner and Relationship is Judged from Upapada Lagna.
Other than this Darapada is also important for Analysis of Relationship. Darapada is the Arudha Pada of 7th house. The Darapada (A7) indicates physical relationship or short term relationship or Courtship whereas Upapada Lagna (UL) indicates long term Serious relationship or Marriage.
The 7th house of Navamsa indicates Looks and Nature of Your Life Partner. Upapada Lagna Gives confirmation to this. Not only that It indicates the nature of the family a Person comes from or Family Background of your Spouse. It also shows how People will relate to each other and Stability of a Relationship.
Before Going further Lets Understand what is Arudha ?
What is Arudha Pada
Arudha Means Image. Image is not Real. It is Just a reflection of our Picture. Similarly Arudha Pada of Various House is the Image or Reflection of Various House.
Arudha Lagna is the Image of our own Personality. How People See us or How people Perceive us. Aruhdha Pada of 2nd house is the Image of the 2nd House. It indicates what people think about our Wealth, our Relatives etc. Arudha Pada of 10th house is the Image of our Career.
Let me explain it with an Example.
Suppose You work in a Multi National Company. People of our Society will think you as a Successful Person. But you may not be very Happy in your workplace. You may not be getting Promotion or You may not enjoy working in that office. But still as You work in a very large organisation, People will think that you are Very Happy and Successful in Your Career. This image is Arudha. People Perceive you as a Very Successful Person which May be or May not be true.
So Upapada Lagna is the Arudha Pada of 12th house. It is the Maya Associated with 12th house. Suppose your wife is very Good Looking and You share a Lot of Pictures as a couple in Facebook or instagram. People will think you Very Happy and Lucky to have a great Partner. This is the role of Arudha or Maya.
Maya can be or can not be true. You can actually be happy or there can be Lot of issues, misunderstanding, Fights among both of you and your Married Life may not be great. This true nature can be Seen from further Analysis of our chart.
