As per classics there could be four goals in human life- Dharma, Artha, Kaam & Moksha. However in the materialistic world of today, most of us think, plan and act of / for Artha & Kaam only. Artha covers any / all activities connected with finance & livelihood and Kaam includes all types of desires e.g. sex, comforts and luxuries.

Upchaya literally means growth, accumulations, elevation, expansion, improvement, rise, aspiration, profit, gain, prosperity or excess of inflow without much effort and at a much faster rate. Upchaya group of houses contains the best of Artha & Kaam Trikones by excluding their Marka houses (2^nd & 7^th) and thus includes 3rd, 6^th , 10^th, & 11^th houses. The rest of the houses are called Apchaya houses. The beauty of Upchaya houses is that even natural malefics produce excellent results here. They indicate growth & gain of any or all desires-whether good or evil.

Every desire originates in 3^rd house. It is nurtured by strong determination & hard work of 3^rd house, pointed concentration & competitiveness of 6^th house and 10^th house provides controlled Kriyaman Karma to enable desire to be fulfilled in 11^th house. Every planet associated with 11^th house ensures gain/ profit in its own way. The progress which human beings have made so far, can be attributed to these fighting qualities only. The 6^th is a Trika house and 11^th a Badhak house for movable lagans. However, this book highlights only the positive aspects of Upchaya houses.
