द्वादशारूढम् — the twelve padas
Each bhāva reflects into the zodiac through its lord: count from sign to lord, then as far again. The result is the ārūḍha-cakra — AL through A12 — with the upapada (UL) as the marriage-pada. Reference instant 1990-01-01 06:00 IST; in this chart 4 padas required the 10-house exception. Compute your own at /chart.
Padas are worldly reflections in the śāstric reading — this page states only their structural placement. No prediction.

The construction
JS 1.1.18–20
- 01
For house i with rāśi R and lord-rāśi L, take n = the inclusive count from R to L (1..12).
- 02
The pada is Aᵢ = (L + n − 1) mod 12 — count n signs forward from the lord.
- 03
If Aᵢ lands on R or on the 7th from R, take the 10th from Aᵢ (shift by 9) — the JS 1.1.18 exception that prevents self-coincidence.
- 04
UL = A12, the ārūḍha of the 12th house, per JS 1.1.20.
The whole construction is residue arithmetic modulo 12 — a finite, deterministic map. The exception rule keeps a pada from landing on its own bhāva or its opposite.
