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.

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

— P.V.R. Narasimha Rao

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
