Service vs. Business — Arudha Analysis

Thumb rule: more planets in 6H = service, more in 7H = business. Full analysis: 6L strength, 7L in Marana Karaka Sthana, A6 vs A7 strength, Kubera amsha. Moon Dasha prediction for spiritual business: Moon owns A7 + A3, placed in Ananta amsha → spiritual nourishing work, not restaurants.

Key principle

Had we tried to explain with Vimshottari Dasha, things would not line up so well. With the right conditional Dasha, things line up perfectly.

Example Chart

Saturn (6L) in 2H with Venus, Sun → Artha Trikona very strong. Jupiter (7L) in 3H = MKS → 7th lord weakened. Verdict: service chart. Moon MD (2011–2020): Moon in A3 + owns A7 + Ananta amsha → spiritual business.

Business vs. Service Determination

Thumb Rule: Count Planets in 6th vs. 7th

  • More planets in 6th = service chart
  • More planets in 7th = business chart

Detailed Analysis

  1. 6th house lord: Is it strong? Does it have a service karaktva? (Saturn = natural servant)
  2. 7th house lord: Is it strong or in Marana Karaka Sthana?
  3. A6 (Arudha of 6th) vs. A7 (Arudha of 7th): Which is stronger and more prominently placed?
  4. Kubera Amsha: Any planet in Kubera Amsha = that planet wants money; if it shows business, can give business during its dasha

In this chart (Virgo lagna, Dwi-Saptati Dasha):

  • Saturn (6th lord) in 2nd with Venus, Sun → Artha Trikona very strong
  • Jupiter (7th lord) in 3rd = Marana Karaka Sthana → 7th lord is weakened
  • 6th lord Saturn is the natural servant
  • Verdict: Service chart; business unlikely

Moon Dasha Prediction (2011+): Business in Spirituality

  • Moon is 11th lord (owns gains)
  • Moon is placed in A3 (initiative, tangible 3rd house)
  • Moon owns A7 (tangible desires/business)
  • Moon in Ananta Amsha → spiritual nurturing, helping people rise spiritually (not food business)
  • Combination of A3 + A7 + 11th house = business is possible in Moon Dasha
  • Type of business: spiritual, kindness, nourishing people's souls — not restaurants
  • Moon Dasha: 2011–2020 → peak success period, well-known for spiritual work
