Argala Rules in Sukla and Krishna Paksha
Argala is judged from 2, 4, 5, and 11; virodhargala from 12, 10, 9, and 3. BPHS-style interpretation also considers paksha-context reversals and special malefic influence from the 3rd.
Standard Mapping
- Argala: 2, 4, 5, 11
- Virodhargala: 12, 10, 9, 3
- Special note: malefics in 3rd can create strong intervention in specific contexts.
Paksha Flip (Krishna Paksha)
In Krishna paksha reading, intervention emphasis can reverse by sequence logic; evaluate relative strength before finalizing chain impact.
Worked Example
Take a target house, list argala/virodhargala occupants, apply paksha context, then compare benefic/malefic weight and dignity before deciding net intervention.
