💎Artha Saham (Point of Wealth) Calculator

The sensitive point governing accumulated wealth

Artha Saham, the Point of Wealth, is computed from the 2nd house cusp, its lord, and the Ascendant. Classical Jyotish reads it alongside the 2nd house — the natural house of accumulated wealth, savings and family resources — as a secondary indicator of material accumulation, distinct from Labha Saham's focus on income flow.

Formula

2nd house cusp − 2nd lord + Ascendant.

How to Read It

Benefics conjunct or aspecting Artha Saham, and a strong 2nd lord relative to it, support steady accumulation and savings; its house placement shows which area of life resources tend to concentrate around.

Three Pillars of Artha (Wealth) Strength

👑

Lord Dignity

Artha (Wealth) lands in a different sign for every chart. When that sign's lord is exalted or in its own sign, this Saham backs its theme fully; when the lord is debilitated or heavily afflicted, the same theme meets resistance.

📍

House Placement

Where Artha (Wealth) falls matters as much as its lord. In kendras (1, 4, 7, 10) or trikonas (1, 5, 9) it tends to act directly and visibly; in dusthanas (6, 8, 12) the same energy still exists but works through obstacles, competition or delay rather than ease.

🔗

Cross-Check

No Saham is read in isolation. Artha (Wealth) is always cross-checked against the 2nd house and its lord's strength before drawing a conclusion — a sensitive point is a clue, not a verdict on its own.

Myths vs Reality

✗ A well-placed Artha (Wealth) guarantees an easy life in this area.

✓ It lowers resistance, not effort — opportunities tend to arrive more naturally, but the work of acting on them still remains.

✗ A weak Artha (Wealth) is a permanent curse.

✓ A chart carries dozens of relevant factors — this Saham is one data point, not the whole picture. The actual house and its lord remain the primary indicators either way.

✗ Artha (Wealth) alone is enough to make a major life decision.

✓ Classical practice always reads it alongside the relevant house, its lord, and the applicable Dasha period — never as a standalone signal.

What If Artha (Wealth) Is Weakly Placed?

A weak Artha (Wealth) does not mean this life area is closed off — it means results here tend to come through deliberate effort rather than natural ease. Check the 2nd house and its lord's strength directly: they carry the primary promise, with this Saham only a secondary refinement on top.

Artha Saham (Point of Wealth) Calculator — FAQ

What is the difference between Artha Saham and Labha Saham?

Artha Saham (from the 2nd house) is read for accumulated wealth and savings; Labha Saham (from the 11th house) is read for income flow and gains. The two are complementary — one about what builds up, the other about what comes in.

How is Artha Saham related to the 2nd house itself?

The 2nd house is the primary, direct indicator of wealth in the birth chart. Artha Saham is a computed sensitive point that refines and cross-checks that promise — useful as a secondary confirmation, not a replacement.

Can I check Artha (Wealth) without an accurate birth time?

No — Sahams are extremely sensitive to the Ascendant degree, which changes roughly every 2 hours. Even a 15-minute error in birth time can shift this Saham into a different house. An accurate birth time is essential.

Will this Saham show the same result in every astrology app?

Minor differences are possible — the ayanamsha used (we use Lahiri), the precision of the birthplace coordinates, and rounding can shift the final degree by a few arcminutes, though the sign and house usually stay stable.
