Kalanidhi Yoga

Definition.-Jupiter must join or be aspected by

Mercury and Venus either in the 2nd or in the 5th
house ; Jupiter must occupy the 2nd or 5th identical
with the swakshetraof Mercury or Venus.
Results.-Highly passionate, good-natured, fe-
vered by kings, commandingdifferent kinds of conve-
yancesand all sorts of aristocraticparaphernaliaand
immune from disease.
Remarks.-Kalanidhi Yoga, basedon our own
humble observations, seemsto arise not so much by
the disposition of Jupiter with Mercury or Venus in
their signsas by the conjunction of Mercury, Jupiter
and Venus in the 2nd or 5th. Moreover, where Kala-
nidhi Yoga is really powerful, the subject seemsto
enjoy alternaie periods ofadversity and prosperity.
There is no suggestionto this effect in any of the
ancient writings but I am venturing an opinion based
on my own observations.This is a pucca Raja Yoga
because of the conjunction of three beneficsin the
house of wealth or fortune. I have also been able to
observethat Kalanidhi Yoga could result if Jupiter
is either with Mercury or with Venus or with both
Mercury and Venus not only in the 2nd and the 5th
but in the 9th also inasmuch as the 9th is the house
of fortune. I am giving a typical horoscope illus-
trating what a really powerful Kalanidhi Yoga can
do.
