Geometry for Aries Ascendant
Kalpadruma Yoga is a structural-class yoga that does not depend on a fixed planetary pair. For Aries ascendant, evaluate the yoga by checking whether the planets currently described in the formation rule are functional benefics for Aries (i.e. they own a kendra or trikona house from the Aries ascendant). The formation rule is: Lagna lord, the sign-dispositor of the lagna lord, the navamsha-dispositor, and the next chain dispositor all in own or exaltation signs, with the final dispositor aspecting the lagna. A fourfold dispositor chain.
House Lordship in Aries Chart
Because Kalpadruma Yoga is structural rather than planet-specific, the house-lordship analysis depends on which planets satisfy the rule in your particular birth chart. Calculate the houses ruled by those planets from the Aries ascendant and assess functional benefic status accordingly.
Aries-Specific Verdict
Kalpadruma Yoga is favorable in principle, but its strength for Aries ascendant depends on the specific planets that satisfy the formation rule in the native's chart. Evaluate planet-by-planet.

Cancellation Conditions

Real-Chart Reference
Comparable example (Aries ascendant chart from our database): Ranveer Singh, born 6 July 1985. Their chart shows Aries lagna with the planetary configuration relevant to Kalpadruma Yoga analysis. Mesha lagna (Mars as lagna lord), the chart of the initiator who cannot not begin: Band Baaja Baaraat established his commercial identity in the first scene of the first film; the Mesha lagna arrives as presence rather than building toward it; his constitutionally expressed energy in public (fashion extremism, spontaneous performance, physical commitment to every role) is not personality, it is the Mars lagna expressed
