One cannot study a horoscope by only looking at the natal chart. Padas as described in BPHS will further change the planetary effects. Essentially, the Rishi says Raja Yogas are best analysed through Pada Chart.

If one wants to do deeper research, Upa pada will be more effective.

The auspiciousness of Upa Pada will essentially determine the benevolence that the native enjoys from wife, children, family life, etc.

Natal ascendant will be the basis for calculating the Upa Pada and is also called Gauna Pada. If Upa Pada is with a benefic or as packed by a benefic, one will gain happiness through children and work. If the Upa Pada is conjoined, aspected and afflicted by a malefic, then the native may out gone married life.

It is generally understood that the Pada for the 12th or the 2nd from the Lagna is called Upa Pada. 12th from the ascendant for an odd sign and 2nd from the ascendant in for even sign.

Examples : Take an even sign, Scorpio ascendant. The second house Lord is situated 8 signs away from Sagittarius. Hence we should count 8 signs from Cancer where Jupiter is placed.

Results of 2nd from Upa Pada

If the 2nd from Upa Pada is associated with benefic, then the native will beblessed with wife and son. In case if the 2nd from Upa Pada is occupied or aspected by a malefic, there will be loss of wife. Loss of wife is expected is a debilated planet week in Shadbala is occupying 2nd from Upa Pada. Taurus as Upa Pada may give many wifes.
