Siva Yoga

Definition.-If the lord of the sth is in the 9th,

the lord of the 9th is in the l0th and the lord of the
l0th is in the 5th, Siva Yoga is caused.
Results-{lte person will be a big trader' a con-
queror and commander of armies ; he will possess
divine wisdom and will lead a virtuous life.
Remarks.-Ihe combination seemsto be simple
but full of significance. The 5th and 9th are power-
ful trikonas and the l0th is a powerful kendra. Dis-
position of the lords of these three in a particular
order as adumbrated in this combination fortifies
the houses of fortune and Karma so that the person
is supposed to become a beneficiary in respect of
fortune, trade, philosophical knowledge and othet
activities. In estimating the strength of this yoga'
due importance must be given to the mutual rela-
tions of the lords of the 9th, 5th and 10th. Thus, in
respect of Mesha Lagna, Siva Yoga can be caused
by the presenceof the 5th lord (Sun)'in the 9th, and
Saturn in the l0th or 5th, becauseof the ownership
of the two adjoining houses by Saturn. The Sun
being placed in the 9th, and Saturn in the lOth, is
a stronger Siva Yoga than the Sun and Saturn ex'
changing their houses. In the latter circumstance
whilst rto doubt Siva Yoga is caused by the Sun
(lord of the 5th) occupying the l0th (a house of
Saturn) and Saturn (lord of the l0th) occupying the
5th, both the planets are such bitter enemiesthat the

62. Vishnu Yoga

Defnition.-If the lord of Navamsa in which the

9th iord is placed, and the l0th lord joins the 2nd
house in conjunction u ith the 9tk lord, Vishnu Yoga
is caused.
Results.-The person rvill lead an enjoyablelife,
acquire fortunes from various countries, earn in
lakhs, u ill be strong, well-versedin discussions,witty
in conversations,a worshipper of Vishnu, praisedby
the rulers and rvill live upto one hundred yearsfree
from disease.
Remarks.-All the resultsattributed to the Yoga
may not happen, But the native will enjoy most of
the blessingsof Vishnu Yoga. The Navamsa in which
the 9th lord is placed plays an important part in the
formation of this yoga. If per chance such a lord of
the Navamsa happens to be the strongest planet,
having obtained the requisite quantity of shadbala,
then the Yoga will operate practically throughout
life. I know an instanceof Vishnu Yoga operating
powerfully in the horoscope of a close associateof
Vishnu Yoea 9l

mine. But unfortunately, the lord of the Amsa occu-

pied by the 9th lord happened to be Saturn and his
shadbala strength was not much. Consequently, the
Yoga could operate with certain restrictions, the
various results happening on a moderate scale.
In all such cases,where big results are attributed
to yogas, the astrologer should be very carefu! in
assessingthe real strength of the main lord causing
the Yoga. The combination of the 9th and 10th lords
constitutes in itself a powerful Raja Yoga anci this
occurring in the 2nd, combined with the Amsa lord,
is indeed a powerful Dhana Yoga so that there is a
blending of Rajaand Dhana Yogas. Thecombination
implies that the 2nd house must be occupied by at
least three planets and hencc not of very frequent
occurrence.
