PROLOGUE
Present work is written with an intent to enlighten the
readers with the peculiar part of Hindu Astrology known as
Yo gas. It is difficult to find an English equivalent of the word Yoga
rather in broader terms. We can say that it is relevant to a
particular or specific combination related with a particular
aspect of human life be it fortune or misfortune. In other words a
Yoga can add vitality to a horoscope by improving certain life
aspects of its possessor or can devitalize an individual in a
pafl:icular area of his life whose birth horoscope is under
scrutiny.
Astrology is as old as Vedas are, therefore Astrology holds the
place of pri,de in Hindu Vedic literature. Mythological stories
available in Puranas unfold the secrets of planets, stars
(Nakshatras) and signs. In Hari Vansha Purana the Moon is said
to be having 28 wives, which are her lunar mansions i.e.
Nakashatras, the root concept of Vims9ttarl Dasa system of
prognostication. These mythological stories are mentioned in an
interesting manner and leave a lasting impression on the reader.
In ancient times Astrology was studied for one's Karmic realities
of that particular incarnation and to know one's limitations of
that particular birth . .The Yogas give an impetus to a particular
area of life to which an individual is found in a Karmic sense or
manner.
In this book we start from Pancha Mahapurusha Yogas i.e.
the qualities or significations of particularly five planets Mars,
Jupiter. Mercury, Venus and Saturn. Whenever any one or more
of these five qualities are available in the birth chart of an-
individual then the native is destined for these qualities. Next we
move on to Adhi Yoga, Sunapha, Anapha and Durudhura and
XII
then to Vesi, Vasi and Ubhayachari Yogas which have their
manifestation through the two Luminaries as these are the two
eyes of our solar system. Then comes Gajakesari Yoga which is
based on the hopefulness and vitality of the individual for
sustenance and it is associated with the Moon (the mentality
and emotions). Amala Yoga has much to do with material
attainments of an individual. Then come the Yogas which have
their base in the lordships of benefic houses and the relations of
various benefic house-lords bestow kingly comforts on to the
native. Then In sequence appear Nabhas Yogas which have their
manifestation through out the life of an individual.
Lastly appear the Yogas related to the twelve houses of a
horoscope. These Include the Rajayogas of Varaha Mihira under
the lOth house Yogas. We have taken Arishta Yogas under the
6th, 8th and 12th house Yogas. However the Yogas such as
Netra Nasha and Andha Yogas appear under the 2"d house
Yogas. At least 25 Yogas indicating various diseases have been
included under the 6th house.
We have exclusively discussed the Yoga under comments on
it, providing the relevant Information and additional Yogas
quoting the authorities. We suppose this will impress the reader
with the importance of the Yoga. We have included particularly
those Yogas for which we could supplement the example charts
and the Yogas which have convinced us with their
configurations of planets like the Rajayogas of Varaha Mihira.
We have ,also tried to append the additional information from
Western Astrology regarding a particular Yoga keeping the
sanctity and sense of the Yoga unaffected.
We suppose this endeavour will open new avenues for
research minded students of this devine science of Astrology.
Beginners will find it an interesting study for maintaining their
interest. We expect that readers will appreciate and acknowledge
this endeavour as they have done for other publications from
M/s Ranjan Publications.

INTRODUCTION
Yoga is the word used in Sanskrit language for the
combination of planets, signs and houses. These three factors
affect every fragment of human life from birth to death e.g. the 1st
house indicates birth conditions, physique and health and the
conditions of prosperity through out life in more general sense. At
one's birth every one, keenly intimate to the new born is curious
to know about the well being and field of action of the infant.
Astrology is one such science capable of satisfying these
curiosities fairly precisely. Yogas are one such fragment of the
science of Astrology which can raise the individual to the heights
of prosperity or put him into the depth of misfortune. Yogas are
only the indications of planetary wishes related to results of past
Karmas of the individual.
Human life is studded with individual fortunes and
misfortunes and astrologically these are. termed as Yogas and
Arishtas. Fortune js the term representing gains, comforts and ·
honour while misfortune represents bodily ailments, pennuary
and disrespect. Anything which gives righteous mentality and
codified conduct is called Yoga and ailing body is Arishta.
However for simplicity they are called good Yogas and bad Yogas.
it is rare to find one who has enjoyed good Yogas only through out
his life, but there are many who have faced Arishtas through out
their lives. Yogas and Arishtas jointly and commonly manifest in
the life of most of the individuals, be he a king or an ordinary
person. A king may have every kind of comforts but not a
successor to the throne. An ordinary man though not having
kingly comforts may have obedient progeny and commonly act on
the life stage of the maximum part of the population.
XIV
Innumerable combinations representing Yogas and Arishtas
are spread through out Hindu astrological literature. We have
tried here to cull out those which have proved their efficacy in
our practice and experience.
In a horoscope quadrants are the abode of Vishnu and trines
are the abode of Lakshmi. Vishnu is the god of existence and life
sustaining forces that emanate from the quadrants, the
environmental houses. Lakshmi Is the goddess of wealth and
wealth is needed for su.->teinance. Wealth generates out of one's
merits, therefore trines are also called houses of merits. The 11th
house represents the resultant of the interactions of various
houses and planets i.e, what we get resultantly. The 12th house
represents how our energies are going to dissipate in this life and
decides our future birth cycle.
Jupiter, Venus and well aspected or conjoined Mercury and
the waxing Moon are benefics. The Moon is benefic from middle of
bright half to middle of dark half. The Sun is cruel, but is taken
as malefic for all practical purposes. Mars, Saturn Rahu and
Ketu are known malefics. The friendship and enmity among the
planets is better to be decided according to Panchadha Maitri
Chakra. The lordships of vmious houses by various planets also
have a significant role il] the manifestations of various Yogas. The
beneficence and maleficence are so decided according to
Vimsottari Dasa system. Some planets become benefic for certain
Lagnas while others become malefics. For a fuller elucidation in
this respect readers may go through our book "Secrets of
Vimsottari" published by M/S Ranjan Publications.
In the above context and fructification ofYogas, it will be wise
to keep in mind the strength of the planets. If the planets
participating in the Yoga are weak and powerless· the results of
the Yoga will be insignificant and vice versa. The planets gain
strength when they are in their exaltation, own or friendly signs.
A planet in an enemy sign, in a neutral sign, in his debilitation
sign or combust is weak and gives malefic results. The
beneficence and maleficence of a planet also depends upon his
placement in benefic or malefic Vargas. There are ten Vargas for a
planet, viz, Rasi, Hora, Drekkana, Trimsamsa, Saptamsa,
Navamsa, Dasamsa, Dwadasamsa, Shodasamsa and
Shashtiamsa. Out of these ten Vargas Rasi, Hora, Drekkana,
Navamsa, Dwadasamsa and Trimsamsa are called Shadavargas
if these are joined by Saptamsa then they are called Saptavargas.
If all the ten are considered then they are called Dasa (ten)
Vargas. A planet is considered strong if he occupies any of his

Moon 17

exaltation, own or friendly Vargas. In the Vargas Rasi and


Navamsa are of extreme importance and should be given more
weightage than other Vargas. If Rasi is the body then Navamsa is
the heart I.e, a planet cannot give good results if inharmoniously
placed in Navamasa. If heart is strong but body is weak, the
person can survive even for a long time.
A planet is called Vargottama if occupies the same Rasi and
Navamsa and is said to give very good results. This condition is
possible only if the planet is in exaltation, own or friendly sign,
but in an enemy sign he will get weaker.
If a planet is two times in his exaltation, own or friendly sign
in Vargas then he is in Parijatamasa if in three such Vargas then
is Uttamamsa, if ln 4 such Vargas then in Gopuramsa, lf in 5
such Vargas then in Simhasanamsa, if in six such Vargas then
in Paravatamsa, if in seven such Vargas then in Devalokamsa, if
in 8 such Vargas then in Surlokamsa and nine such Vargas then
he is in Eravatamsa. This all Is to show that a planet occupying
as many good Vargas is as much strong to give benefic results
and kingly comforts. Kingly comforts sh~uld be taken as only an
indication. A man neither becomes a king by the strength of one
planet only nor he becomes a beggar by the weakness of one
planet only. It is only after the careful assessment of strengths of
various planets that one can arrive at a conclusion. Similarly we
should also consider the Avasthas of various planets.
If the Lagna, the Moon and the Sun are weak, the three legs
of horoscopical tripod becomes shaky. Varaha Mihira has
emphasized on this fact in Rajayogadhyaya of his Brihat Jataka,
where he has kept all these three factors strong for Rajayogas.
Without the strength of these three factors even the powerful
Rajayogas are unable to fructify ln practical.
XVI
Another kind of strength is Digbala where the planets get
strength due to their -directions. Jupiter and Mercury get
directional strength in the east which is Lagna, the Moon and
Venus get directional strength in south which is the 41h house,
Saturn gets directional strength in the 71h which is west
direction and the Sun and Mars get directional strength in the
north which is the 1Oth house of the horoscope.
Let us examine the chart shown earlier, for the strength of
various planets. The Sun gets directional strengtq in the 101h
house and is exalted. Jupiter gets directional strength in the
Lagna and is also exalted. The native rose to the height of career
in the Sun's Dasa and got help from the influential and
authoritative personalities. The Lagna is quadrant as well as
trine therefore its lord, the Moon acquires both the qualities and
is associated with the ·glh lord causing a very powerful Rajayoga in
the Lagna. Venus and Mars have exchanged signs in Navamsa
therefore they are quite strong. Saturn is Vargottama in a
friendly sign. Mercury is exalted in Navamsa. Gajakesari Yoga
manifested auspiciously during whole of the Moon's Dasa though
he acquired ill health also due to association of Jupiter, the 6'11
lord with the Moon, the Lagna lord.
Let us analyse the benefics and malefics according to
Vimsottari Dasa system. The Moon is a benefic being the Lagna
lord. The Sun is a malefic being the 2nd lord a Maraka, but being
strong has lost most of his maleficence. Jupiter is a little benefic
being the g<h lord over his 6th_ lordship. Mars is a Yogakaraka
being the 5lh and 1011' lord and his Dasa will definitely be good
enough though he is placed in the 12'h in an enemy sign. Venus
is a malefic for Cancer Lagna and his Dasa did not do much to
the native. Mercury 'is a malefic for this Lagna and his Dasa is
late to ensue.

If Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus or Saturn possessing a
great strength in his exaltation, Moolatrikona or own sign,
be in a quadrant from the Lagna will result a Rajayoga
named Ruchaka, Bhadra, Hamsa, Malavya or Sasa
respectively.

1. RUCHAKA YOGA ( '6ilcti ~)


DEFINITION
If Mars in strength occupies his exaltation, Moolatrikona
or own sign in a quadrant from the Lagna, Ruchaka Yoga is
caused, one of the Pancha Mahapurusha Yogas.

and face, earning wealth courageously, valorous and proudy
killing his enemies, a great commander or high official,
succeeding in all his endeavours, splendrous and will earn
fame and prestige for his good qualities.
COMMENTS
This Yoga is caused only when ·Mars is in strength,
neither badJy aspected and also nor combust. Mars
completely strong is a very rare phenomenon, usually he is
found with some or the other debility, but still the Yoga is
present to a considerable extent thus, showering many of its
good virtues over the i'ndividual.
'Saravali' (37 /5-7) has been quite descriptive in this
respect.

Yoga. He was the ablest, strongest and shrewdest politician
and administrator India has ever produced. His ability was

due to the exalted Moon and Mercury conjunct Jupiter and

high position for a very short period due to the debilitated
Sun.

Another example horoscope for the Ruchaka Yoga is of

aspecting the lOth house. Mars is also aspected by Jupiter
and is in trine to the Moon, the IOlh lord. The Moon is also
aspected by Jupiter. The Moon in the 12th shows that he was
an expert in foreign matters. Rahu is in the 3rd in Jupiter's
sign, therefore the aspects of Jupiter are studded with the
diplomatic shrewdness of Rahu.

2. BHADRA YOGA ( ~ ~)
DEFINITION
If strong Mercury is disposed in a quadrant from the
Lagna identical with his exaltation, Moolatrikona or own
sign, Bhadra Yoga is constituted.
RESULTS
The native born with Bhadra Yoga will have sharp
intellect, be witty, be well dressed. look like a gentleman, be
praised by the intellectuals: be a good speaker. Such an
individual will be prosperous, a king or king's minister,
living upto a good old age.
4 Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology

COMMENTS
In the definition strong Mercury signifies that besides
being strong by the sign placement he should also be strong
otherwise ie, he should not be combust or aspected by or
conjoined with the malefics etc. Mercury has to do with the
characteristics like . learning, intellectual development,
communication, wealth and generosity.
Mercury represents the Vishnu element which is Satva
Guna, Yajnas and philanthropy. Therefore, the individual
with a pure Bhadra Yoga will be of Satvik nature and working
selflessly for the social cause. The other bad characteristics
like greediness etc. creep into Bhadra Yoga with the aspects
of other planets on "Mercury, for Mercury is tender and
pliable. Therefore, the individual will be delicate and with
lustrou:o. skin. The signs Gemini and Virgo represent the
arms, chest and intestines or waist of the Kalapurusha, so
the individual will have these organs well in shape.
'Phala Deepika' (6/2) has been very precise in describing
Bhadra Yoga.

The word Kushagra is used, Kusha is a kind of grass
with a sharp head, which can pierce our skin even. The
inference is that the individual with Bhadra Yoga possesses
a sharp intellect like the sharp head of Kusha grass.
Let us see what ''Jataka Parijata" (7 /62) has to say about
the Bhadra Yoga-

The native born under the Bhadra Yoga will have the face
of a tiger, majestic gait of elephant, a broad massive chest,
long brawny rounded arms, a commanding stature, be high
spirited and will be deligently devoted to the befriending of
kinsmen and well wishers. He will display commanding
genius, enjoy vast fame, extensive wealth and will reach
upto a good old age of 80 years.

DEF.NlTION
Jupiter in a quadrant from the Lagna in his exaltation,
Moolatrikona or own sign and also endowed with strength
causes Hamsa Yoga.
6 Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology

RESULTS
The individual born under Hamsa Yoga will be of
righteous disposition, pure in thoughts, honoured generally,
optimistic, consuming royal dishes, admired by gentlemen
and will have the markings of a fish, counch, lotus, and
Ankusha on his hands and soles of feet.
COMMENTS
The position described above is not possible for the fixed
signs in the Lagna it is the common or movable signs, which
as the Lagna can form the Hamsa Yoga. The evils of
quadrangular ownership vanish when Jupiter forms Hamsa
Yoga for the Gemin! and Virgo Lagnas. The condition is.
Jupiter should be strong, being neither combust nor
afflicted by the malefics.
'Saravali' 37 /(11-13), has been more descriptive-

The native born in Hamsa Yoga will have reddish face,
elevated nose, great virility. wheatish complexion, full
cheeks, reddish nails, swan like voice, phlegmatic
constitution, marks of trident, fish, arrow etc. on the soles
and palm, honey coloured eyes and round head. He will be
fond of sporting in water and will not be satisfied sexually
even being with several females. He will weigh 1600 Tulas
and be 96 Angula tall. He will rule Shoorsena, Gandhara
and regions between the Ganges and Yamuna. He will end
up his 100 years longevity in a forest.
"Jataka Parijata" has termed the native under Hamsa
Yoga as :!lllfSii>11"14<14"ilsRtf.'l:J;•I: also. which means one who is an

expert in the knowledge of scriptures. This is perhaps the


theme of Hamsa Yoga which 'Saravali' seems to have
omitted.
An example of Hamsa Yoga is given below. The native of
the chart was born under very humble circumstances,
though not very much qualified, rose to a position of
millionaire. The Sun and Ketu are not quite far away from
Jupiter and Jupiter is neither afflicted nor combust. He also
loses evils of quadrangular lordship being in his own sign
Pisces. As described earlier, the native greyed his hair
prematurely, has a swan like voice, elevated nose, round
head and honey coloured eyes. The native donates a lot in
charities and foi religious causes.

8 Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology

COMMENTS
Venus is the most glittering and beautiful planet of our
so.lar system, so are his ·results. Venus is the significator of
conveyances, music, dancing, art goods, fine arts, sexual
pleasures and material comforts. The native with this Yoga
produces good amount of semen, therefore he is more
attracted towards beautiful lady folk. MYthologically Venus
is the preacher of demons. A strong Venus endows the
native with good ministerial ability and advisory capacity. A
person with strong Venus is a dynamic diplomat. All these
qualities are the attributes of a Venus, who is neither
afflicted nor combust. which are the preconditions for
Malavya Yoga.
'Jataka Parijata' (7 /64) has beautifully described
Malavya Yoga:-

and fortunes and she is also quite beautiful and gracious.

5. SASA YOGA(~~)
DEFINITION
Saturn in strength occupies a quadrant from the Lagna
identical with his exaltation, Moolatrikona or own sign.
RESULTS
An individual born under the Yoga will be cruel hearted,
having wrathful eyes dark in form and devoted to the
mother. He will be of questionable character and
commanding loyal servants. He will be unscrupulous and
trying to snatch other's wealth. He will be head of a town,
village or municipality. He will be voluptuous and inclined to
play the paramour with the objective of his guilty love.
COMMENTS
Sasa Yoga can only be possible for the movable and the
fixed signs in the Lagna. The inherent nature of Saturn
comes into play particularly when this Yoga is caused from
the Moon sign. The sinful, cruel and mean nature of Saturn
is quite evident with the individual having this Yoga and he
uses every fair or·foul means to acquire other's wealth. The
native is interested in other's women due to his malacious
sex out look. No doubt the person is famous and prosperous
but the element of greed and cruelity is always present with
him. The persons related to municipality and where the
work cannot be efficiently done without an underhand share
of their own usually do have Sasa Yoga present in their
charts.
Sasa Yoga has less bad tinge, if the Moon is not in a
quadrant from Saturn. If the Moon (the element} is
otherwise well placed in the chart, most of the bad attributes
of Sasa Yoga get vanquished.

disadvantaged with the robbed wealth.
In contrast, in the horoscope No.8 of Sardar Vallabh Bhai
Patel, Saturn is in a quadrant from the Lagna identical with
his Moolatrikona sign. The bad characteristics of Sasa Yoga
did not manifest because of the strong Moon and Mercury.
The Lagnadhiyoga and Chandradhiyoga both are present in

6. ADHI YOGA ( 3-Tft:r ~)


DEFINITION
If the benefic planets occupy the 6th, 7th and 8th houses
from the Moon, there results the Moon's Adhi Yoga or
Chandradhiyoga.
12 Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology

RESULTS
The individual born under this Yoga will be a
commander, a minister or a ruler (of a district or province).
He will be at ·the peak of prosperity and pleasure, over
coming his foes, living a long life and will be exempt from
diseases and dangers.
COMMENTS
The Moon's Adhiyoga is a very clear and distinct Yoga
formed by the presence of benefic planets in the 6th, 7th and
8th from the Moon. Varaha Mihira has clearly used the word
·~· in his 'Brihat Jataka' (13/2). The Yoga is lowered a
little in effect, should the Sun be in opposition to the Moon
·or be with the benefics forming the Yoga. The benefics mean
the natural benefics Mercury, Jupiter and Venus. There can
be seven configurations for this Yoga ranging from one
planet to three planets In the three houses. If one planet in
strength is there, the native is prosperous through out life; if
two planets in strength, a minister and if three planets are
in strength, the native may enjoy the status of a king.
Prithuyasas, the illustrious son of Varaha Mihira in his
'Hora Sara' (19/6) says
iji~<<~Hfil'& ~4HI\<6€i 6'llc;;flRI l

Should Adhiyoga causing planets be benefics by nature,
the results will mat.ure effortlessly, when benefics conjunct
malefics, yield such results only after efforts. One born in
malefic caused Adhiyoga will get adverse results only. The
point here 'is that conjunction of malefics retard or block the
results of the benefics and Adhiyoga loses its strength
considerably.
Here is the chart No.9 of Chhatrapati Shivaji, the great
Maratha warrior. The Yoga forined is quite strong even

DEFINITION
Should the benefic planets occupy the 6ili, 7t11 and Stll
houses from the Lagna and are neither conjunct with nor
aspected by the malefic planets which are in positions other
than the 41h Bhava, the celebrated Lagnadhi Yoga is present.
14 Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology

RESULTS
The native born in the Lagnadhi Yoga will produce many
scientific works, acquire philosophical training, hold a rank
in army. will be pious and generous and will enjoy the
advantages generated out of the fame and fortune.
COMMENTS
Lagnadhi Yoga is equally important as is Adhi Yoga. Here
emphasis is on the non-afflictions of the 4th house because
with an afflicted 4th house, the native cannot enjoy comforts.
'Saravali' (34/ I3), ascribes to the native ministership,
leadership of an army, and kingship, lordship over many
women, long life, freedom from diseases and miseries,
possession of virtues and happiness.
Below is the chart of a supreme court judge who enjoyed
all kinds of comforts during his life time. The Yoga here is
not a classic one, but the presence of Saturn, the
Yogakaraka with Venus, tbe Lagna lord enhances the
impetus of the horoscope as a Rajayoga. Lagnadhi Yoga is
also present in the chart of Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel

Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology 15

RESULTS
An individual born under Sunapha Yoga will be a king or
his equal with self acquired property and be renowned for
his wisdom and wealth.
COMMENTS
The Moon is very vital in this Yoga and the two Yogas
following it. Sunapha Yoga has much to do with the financial
prosperity of the native. The nature and the way of getting
prosperity depends upon the planets in the 2nd and the 2nd
lord from the Moon.

enjoy money earned by his own exertion. This money
particularly will be earned .in the Dasas and Bhuktls of the
planets causing the Yoga.
'Jataka Parijata' (7 /86-89) says-
Mars in the 2nd from the Moon makes one capable. fierce,
cruel, hypocritical, wealthy, valiant and irritable.
Mercury in the 2nd from the Moon makes one well versed
in Vedas. fine arts and music, highly intelligent, agreeable
speaker and pious. _
Jupiter in the 2nd from the Moon makes one
knowledgeable in every respect. prosperous, with good
family, lordly and famous and equal to a king.
Venus in the 2nd from the Moon makes one rich in cattle
and horses, live in regal splendour, with much property,
possessed of agricultural lands and married. Saturn in the
2nd from the Moon makes one wealthy, talented, versed in

every kind of business and to gain esteem of the people in


towns and villages.

If there are planets, excepting the Sun, in the 12th house
from the Moon, Anapha Yoga is caused.
Yogas-The Matvels of Hindu Astrology 17

RESULTS
An individual born under Anapha Yoga will be virtuous,
eloquent in speech, will enjoy food, drinks, robes and
females, will be famous, retrospecting, will possess a
handsome body and renounces the world in adva.nced age.
COMMENTS
The Moon is again the pivot in this Yoga as other five
planets individually or in combinations fall in the 12th to her.
This Yoga forms an extremely wealthy combination, if the
12th from the Moon is occupied by exalted Venus or Jupiter
for Aries and Leo Lagnas.
'Hora Sara' (19/3) describes beautifully thus-

'ltlfcl'ltl:m q:RI'lt"''l<"h:tll('31:m 'lt>lfcl'tlct: I


\3!'14illli¥J"I: F-fiurf Cf":tl•ibRI'114'1 ~I I
One born in Anapha Yoga will have political and moral ..
wisdom, be steadfast, know many scriptures and be enormously
wealthy. He will remain captured by the fair sex and be honoured.
Sunapha and Anapha Yogas caused by the debilitated
planets will only yield adverse results, For example Venus in
12th in Virgo from the Moon in Libra Lagna. This situation
causes immoral conduct at the cost of physical comforts,
health and long life. In his advanced years when the native
would have lost everything, he may proceed for spiritual
emancipation and may renounce the world.
'Jataka Parijata' gives folloWing results for the
individual planets .in the 12th house from the Moon-
1f he be Mars, the native will be arrogant, quarrelsome,
wrathful, bold, chief of a band of marauders, resolute and of
an alluring presence.
If he be Mercury, the native Will efficiently discourse on
music and drawing, be learned, eloquent, handsome,
renowned and venerated by kings.
If he be Jupiter, the native will be honoured by kings,
very intelligent, earnest and full of energy, possessed of
great status and wealth.
If he be Venus, the native will be a charmer of women,
owning numerous cattle and the like, highly intelligent, rich
in cash and grain.
18 Yogas-The MaiVels of Hindu Astrology

If he be Saturn, the native will have long arms, be


meritorious, be possessed of numerous cattle and the like,
be a leader and his words having depth be accepted and be
yoked to bad women. ·
According to Western Astrology planet rising ahead of the
luminaries in a clockwise direction affects the career very
much and indicates the profession and individuality. The
aspects to this planet who is caned the 'Scout planet' also
mould the subjects characteristics in consonance with the
aspecting planet. .
If Mercury is the Scout planet the native's course of
action is related to the books, communication media,
conversation with coborn and neighbours and persons in
immediate environment.
If Venus is the Scout planet the native's course of action
is related to romantic or marital relationships, social
activities, aesthetic values and business affairs. The
individual has special ability of dealing with ·the life
circumstances in a very diplomatic and harmonious way.
If Mars is the Scout planet the native makes major
advances through creative efforts. He has a strong strategic
sense and planning to get his ambitions realised. Being of
challenging disposition he is liable to some strife and
consternation.
If Jupiter is the Scout planet the native's course of action
is related to cultural, religious, educational and moral
percepts. He inspires others also in realising their goals.
If Saturn is the Scout planet the native's course of action is
related to organising and planning major creative endeavours.
The native gets the help of an old and mature individual in
guiding his career and the development of his creative
potential. The native has a strong grasp of the practical
necessities of life and therefore builds a solid foundation for
further growth and thus achieves status and position.
'Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra' (37/13) observes thus:
The Yogas (like Sunapha, Anapha, Durudhura,
Kemadruma, Chandradhiyoga etc.) prevail over the other
good or bad Yogas in the horoscope. Hence one must analyse
the good and bad effects of the Yogas from the Moon.

10. DURUDHURA YOGA(~ itlr)
DEFINITION
If there are planets excepting the Sun on either side of
the Moon, the configuration is named Durudhura Yoga.
RESULTS
The individual born under Durudhura Yoga will be
bountiful, will enjoy enormous wealth and comforts.
COMMEN1S
By different placements of planets in the houses adjacent to
the Moon, the person's mind is coloured by the charactetistics of
those planets and he proceeds to find his place in this world
accordingly to enjoy power and wealth. There are 31 vanetles of
Sunapha Yogas and equally the same number for Anapha Yogas
and there are 180 kinds of Durudhura Yoga transmutations.
Planets around the Moon in debility or some other way weak do
not cause a good quality Durudhura Yoga.
Compared to Sunapha and Anapha Yogas, Durudhura
Yoga is more effective and does not occur so frequently. The
Moon is enormously fortified to yield good results if flanked
by the planets on both of its sides.
20 Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology

'Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra' (37 I 10) describe the Yoga:


13~$1t!)&~'( GmT tJ"lqli:H-~: I
ij't'!<'41 ~ ~ \iRl ~Q\f!){l"lq: II
One born in Durudhura Yoga will enjoy pleasures, be
charitable and endowed with wealth, conveyances and
excellent serving force.
ln the above Yogas the term 'excepting the Sun' is used
because the Moon near to the Sun is not a benefic being
weak in Paksha Bala. It is the strength of the Moon which is
instrumental in these Yogas and other Lunar Yogas.
Some important combinations are -
. The subject with the Moon between Mars and Mercury
will be untruthful though merited and clever. He will be
depraved, censorious and avaricious and addicted to
unchaste women.
The subject with the Moon between Mars and Jupiter will
be renowned, owns fortunes due to his mighty exertions, but
harassed by foes.
The subject with the Moon between Mars and Venus will
be handsome, attractive, cruel, cheerful, virtuous, wealthy,
but swerve morality.
The subject with the Moon between Mars and Saturn will
be addicted to vilely women, wrathful, rich, treacherous,
contending with numerous enemies, but unscathed and
unconstrite;
The subject with the Moon between Mercury and Jupiter will
be pious, conversant with sacred scriptures, eloquent, facile in
opposition, associated with noble men and of great fame.
The subject with the Moon between Mercury and Venus will
be Vt1rsed in dancing, music, love making, handsome, intelligent
and will be of heroic temperament and agreeable speech.
The subject with the Moon between Mercury· and Saturn
will be revered, have moderate wealth and learning, averse
to his k.iths and k.ins and will roam in foreign lands.
The subject with the Moon between Jupiter and Venus will
be princely, prosperous, polite, valiant, celeberated and guiltless.
Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology 21

The subject with the Moon between Saturn and Jupiter


will be comfortable, knowledgeable and learned, handsome,
worthy, owning wealth, conciliatory powers and humility.
The subject with the Moon between Venus and Saturn
will be a leader in his tribe, wedded to ancient systems, will
have much wealth, will enjoy royal favours and will lord a
band of worthless females.

If the Moon be in conjuction with Rahu or Ketu or if Rahu
occupies 12th house from the Moon, or if the planet producing
Durudhura Yoga be depressed or obscured by the Sun's rays,
the effect of the Yoga will be of mixed type to the person there in.
See the chart No.l5 of a millionaire enjoying ancestral
wealth and his own earnings are also very good. He is
enjoying loyal servants and conveyances. He has an

11. KEMADRUMA YOGA ( Cfiq~q errrr)


DEFINITION
When the Moon is not flanked by the planets on both of
her sides, Kemadruma Yoga is caused.
RESULTS
The individual born under Kemadruma Yoga will become
obscure, miserable, given to base ways, penurious, drudging
as menials and wicked by inclination.
COMMENTS
Different authors subscribe to different views about
Kemadurma Yoga. Varaha Mihira has emphasized on the
effects of this Yoga more to the persons born in royal
families than on to those born with ordinary background.
About the formation of the Yoga 'Jataka parijata' (7 /83) say-
~ ~"14iiS"14il ~ B11"t4l'ftqta!OI'"~:,
$rim: CflfilfflS"'4iql ~ ~: cfiq~q)s4h~ell
~ :tfto<hls~q<u ~ <fi%'11 ~.
cfi~~~"1'1i~ 'if 'I~~ ~ ""1" ~II
in the absence of above three Yogas, Kemadruma Yoga is
caused, but some do not acknowledge this Yoga if the
quadrants from the Lagna or the Moon are associated with
other planets or the Moon herself is angular to the Lagna.
Some even go to extent for failure of Kemadruma Yoga if
Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology 23

there are planets in quadrants from the Moon or Lagna in


Navamsa also. But the holders of the later view are not
recognized authorities on Astrology.
The Sloka mentioned above from 'Jatak Parijata' is
originally from Varaha Mihira's 'Brihat Jataka'.
The essence of all the Lunar Yogas seems to lie in the fact
that the Moon should be under the effect of some planet.
The Moon or the mind of an individual does not get initiation
if it is not influenced by any of the planets excepting the Sun.
If she is near to the Sun she does not have strength. It seems
to us that there is no Kemadruma Yoga if the Moon in any
manner is influenced by any of the five planets excepting the
Sun. In support of our view we give the following example.
The native of the chart given below was born at New
Delhi on 4-1-1958 at 1-05 P.M. There is no planet in the 2nd
and 12th or 4th and lOth from the Moon or Lagna. The native
is an N.R.I. and a doctor by profession. There is Chandradhi
Yoga caused even by the malefics as well as the beneflcs.

Lagna Ketu Moon

Chart No. 17

Venus

Sun Mars Rahu


Mercury Saturn Jupiter

Moreover, the Moon is aspected by Jupiter and Mars. As said


earlier under Chandradhi Yoga, the native became a doctor
after great efforts due to Adhi Yoga caused by the malefics as
well as the benefics.
Here our view is endorsed by the presence of other Lunar
Yogas even though Kemadruma Yoga is there. We Can formulate
a principle that the native is as niuch affluent as many
Lunar Yogas he has in his chart except Kemadruma Yoga.
24 Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology

12 TO 24. DARIDRA YOGAS Or


KEMADRUMA YOGAS
(~ <Wr (U ~ <Wr)
(contd.)
The following conditions mentioned in Jataka Parijata
are also recognised conditions as Kemadurma Yogas or
Daridra Yogas.
12. The Moon in the I st or 7t.b house without benefic
aspect of Jupiter.
13. The Moon conjunct the Sun occupies a malefic
Navamasa and is aspected by a depressed planet.
14. The St.b house from the waning Moon is occupied or
aspected by a malefic planet for a night born native.
The Yogas at 13 and 14 are also called Daridra Yogas.
15. The Moon seized by Rahu or Ketu and aspected by a
malefic planet.
16. The 4t.b house from the Moon or Lagna occupied by a
malefic.
17. The Moon seized by Rahu or Ketu and aspected by a
benefic who is defeated in planetary war.
18. The Moon in the sign Libra, but in the malefic Vargas
aspected by a depressed or inimical planet.
19. The Moon in a quadrant or trine, but in the Vargas of
her depression or inimical signs and Jupiter also in
the 6lli, 8th or 12lli to her.
20. The Moon in a movable sign, in a malefic Navamasa
aspected by an inimical planet, but not aspected by
Jupiter in any manner, the poverty to the native is
unparalleled.
21. Saturn and Venus occupying the Vargas of depressed
or inimical planets aspect each other or are in the
same sign, even the native of a princely family will
experience the effect of Kemadruma Yoga.
22. For a night birth, the Moon with a malefic occupying
a malefic sign or Navamsa and aspected by the 1Qt.h
lord who is weak.
23. The Moon in depression Navamsa associated with a
planet in Khala state.
Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology 25

24. For a night birth waning Moon occupying her


depression sign.
All the above Yogas are Yogas for poverty and are
suggestive of Kemadruma Yogas.
Following are the exceptions of Kemadruma Yoga and a
few other we have discussed in the earlier part of
Kemadruma Yoga.
· (i) The Moon or Venus occupying a quadrant be
aspected by Jupiter.
(ii) The Moon associated with a benefic planet.
(iii) The Moon occupying the Navamsa of a very friendly
planet or her exaltation sign and is aspected by
Jupiter
In 'Jataka Parijata' the following Sloka is very suggestive
<ifiT ~'l~'l!OIIcd ~ ~~ ~I
<l"'lfi•ll ~f.l:tqf.ij 'M{ ~ <1m fmT II
lf in any horoscope Kemadruma Yoga comes in, the
Rajayogas disappear like elephants on seeing a lion.
COMMENTS
The Moon sign is also a Lagna and signifies all aspects
about wealth as the Moon is co-ruler of Taurus, being
exalted there in. Taurus is the house of wealth of the natural
zodiac. Whenever the Moon is rendered weak by aspects, by
Navamsa position and there is/are no ~elieving aspects, she
causes the Yoga for poverty. Whenever all the quadrants
from the Moon or the Lagna are occupied by the malefics,
the environmental factors push the native financially into
dire straits. ·
Therefore, the strength of the Moon is essential to cross
the ocean of this materialistic world satisfactorily.

25. ADHAMA YOGA ( 3ltTll c:ftrT)


DEFINITION
If the Moon is in a quadrant from the Sun, Adhama Yoga
is present.
26, Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology

RESULTS
The native will enjoy meagre comforts, wealth,
conveyances, hpnour, property, knowledge, wisdom,
efficiency, generosity and education.

26. SAMA YOGA ( ~ c:fm)


DEFINITION
If the Moon is in the 2nct, 5th, 8th or l l th house from the
Sun, Sarna Yoga is produced.
RESULTS
The results described in Adhama Yoga are enjoyed
moderately.

27. VARISHTHA YOGA ( C1Rti3 c:im)


DEFINITION
If the Moon is in the 3rc1, 6th, 9th or 12th house from the
Sun, Vartshtha Yoga is caused.
RESULTS
The results discrtbed in Adhama Yoga are in abundance.
'Brihat Jataka' declares the moral training, wealth,
knowledge and intellectual precision to be lowest, middling
or highest respectively in the three Yogas told above. 'Brihat
Jataka' (13/ l) further states-

~ f.rfu 1f 'tR: ~s~fllSii~ err,


tt;<~ffld ~ fcttl<lli ~ ~ 1f II
If the Moon be in her own Navamsa or in that of a very
friendly planet and if it be aspected by Jupiter, the
individual born will be wealthy; if the Moon be aspected by
Venus, the native will be happy in both the cases, whether
his birth takes place by the day or by the night.
Again, the discussion seems to conclude that the
strength of the Moon is paramount, be it by placement, by
good aspects from the fortunes (Jupiter and Venus) or by
some other way discussed in the Yogas so far or yet to be
discussed further.
Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology 27

28. VASUMATI YOGA ( Cl{'l)'iM ~)


DEFINITION
If all the benefics are in the 3rd, 6th, JQth and lith houses
from the Lagna or the Moon, Vasumati Yoga is formed.
RESULTS
The native born under Vasumati Yoga will always
command wealth and never be dependent.
COMMENTS
Vasumati Yoga is chiefly concerned with the wealth than
any thing else. The intensity of the Yoga gets fortified with
the exaltation, Moolatrtkona or own signs of the planets
concerned. The Yoga is present feebly even if the planets
concerned are in enemy signs.
Varaha Mihira in his 'Brihat Jataka' declares the native
to be immensely rich, if the four benefics are in Upachaya (3,
6, 10 and 11) houses from the Lagna and if these benefics
are in the Upachaya houses from the Moon, he will be an
ordinary landlord. The wealth will be less if the number of
benefics is less. Even if there be other malefic Yogas present,
the effect of this Yoga will prevail.
'Phala Deepika' (6/19) dec!ares that the native will have
·immense wealth and will remain at holl)e always. In olden
times residence in a foreign land was considered to be bad.
The native of the following chart though was born under
very humble circumstances is fairly wealthy and prefers to
pursue a profession near to or at his home.

29. SHUBHA YOGA (~ erm)


DEFINITION
Should the rising sign be occupied by the benefic or
malefic planets, the Yogas produced are termed Shubha and
Ashubha respectively.
RESULTS
The native born under the Shubha Yoga is eloquent,
handsome, amiable and worthy while the one born under
the Ashubha Yoga is lustful, wicked and fed on what belongs
to other's.
COMMENTS
The two Yogas are simple and do not require any
elaboration, however, the intensity of the Yogas as usual
depends upon the strength of the planets involved.

30. KARTARI YOGA ( cnJR efm)


DEFINITION
Should the 12th and 2nd houses from the Lagna be
occupied by the malefic or benefic planets, the Yogas
structured are termed as Papakartari and Soumyakartari
respectively.
RESULTS
The person born . under the Papakartari will be a
criminal, eating begged food and impure while one born
under Shubhakartart.will have lustre, wealth and strength.
COMMENTS
The interpretation is simple and requires no explanation.
The results are almost identical as talked about under
Durudhura Yogas.
In Mahatma Gandhi's chart the Lagna is between malefic
Saturn and the cruel Sun. Mars is also in the Lagna,
therefore, he fell victim of violence.

31. VESI YOGA ( ~ <:fm)


DEFINITION
If a planet or planets, excepting the Moon, are in the 2nd
house from the Sun, Vesi Yoga is caused.
RESULTS
The person will be virtuous, happy, famous and
fortunate.
COMMENTS
There can be two kinds of Yogas, one formed with the
malefics gives bad results and other formed with the
benefics around the Sun gives good results. The person born
in auspicius Vesi Yoga is amiable, eloquent, wealthy,
intrepid and triumphant over his foes, wl1ile the person born
in inauspicious Vesi Yoga is fond of bad company, evil
minded and bereft of riches and comforts. There can be
many varieties even with the benefics. Jupiter in fall cannot
be as auspicious as in exaltation, that is, in Cancer. A
malefic or ill placed benefic in the 2nd from the Sun does
affect the eye-sight of the individual.
As an example see the chart No.20, where Venus and
Mercury are in the 2nd from the Sun, the native earned a
good amount of wealth in his career, toured many times to
foreign countries in his life time. Venus and Mercury get
more impetus due to the aspect of Jupiter. ·

DEFINITION
If a planet or planets, excepting the Moon, are there in
1;he 12th house from the Sun, Vesi Yoga is caused.
RESULTS
The individual will be happy, prosperous, generous and
favourite of the rulers.
COMMENTS
Like Vesi Yoga this Yoga also has two types. ,'H~rasara'

~ . «)~<f~,;ckl: {tcf«)&Ht"l"'f: II
If the malefics cause Vasi Yoga, the native will be sinful,
defective limbed, sleepless and laborious and if the benefics
cause Vasi yoga, the native is blessed with all kinds of
comforts and wealth.
If malefics are there in the 12th from the Sun, the native
is ill natured and spends for ill causes. He is wicked and has
to remain in exile. If benefics are there in the 12th from the
Sun, the native spends for the cause of others.
The native of the chart No.21 was born on 24-11-1964 at
10-07 A.M. New Delhi. He has Venus in 12th from the Sun.
The native has to spend a lot on meeting expenses of her
wife. He is also lax in morals.

33. UBHAYACHARI YOGA ( ~ cWr)


DEFINITION
lfthe planets, excepting the Moon, are present in the 2nd
and 12th from the Sun, Ubhayachari Yoga is caused.
RESULTS
The individual born under Ubhayachari Yoga will be even
bodied, firm, proudy, over enthusiastic, eloquent speaker,
wealthy and famous.
COMMENTS
This Yoga is frequently present in the charts because
Venus and Mercury do not have much elongation from the
Sun. The native is wicked if the Sun is flanked by evil
planets and amiable if by the benefics. In uplifting the
native, these solar Yogas are not as much efficient as the
other Raja Yogas are. The Sun represents the ego element of
an individual and these solar Yogas have much to do with
the kind of ego development of the individual.
For the ego development judge the chart No. 22 of a girl
born on 07-07-1972, at 5:1OA.M. New Delhi. She displays
falsely elated ego and is always busy in posing herself more
beautiful and exceptional than others. Jupiter's aspect to
the Sun accentuates this element. The Sun is hemmed in
between Mars and Saturn. So she is very much self centred.
She becomes abusive, if her demands are not met. See Mars
with Mercury and the Moon in a Martian sign. She is not

34-35 GAJA KESARI YOGAS ( ~l'i'tStittfl cim)


DEFINITION
34- Should Jupiter occupy a quadrant from the Moon,
the Yoga produced is called Gaja Kesari.
35- Should the Moon be conjunct or aspected by the
benefics who are neither depressed nor obscured by th.e
Sun, the structured Yoga is Gaja Kesari.
RESULT
One born under Gaja Kesari Yoga will be splendorous,
wealthy, generous, intelligent, endowed with many virtues
and will be remembered for his merits even after his
heavenly abode.
COMMENTS
The prime factor is that the abilities of mind are
increased and the person settles in the life auspiciously.
Verbatim application of the Yoga as told in the classics can
be disastrous and requires the adqptation according to
modern conditions. In olden times the prime aim of the
people was to be in the good books of the ruler so that one
could settle very well in life. Now a days many avenues have
opened up where one can employ his merits and thus
become known, famous and prosperous. Gaja Kesari Yoga
works with in the perspective of one's qualifications, social
Yo gas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology 33

conditions and merits. Whatever field one chooses, he excels


over others under the impetus of Gaja Kesari Yoga: of course
the tenor of the horoscope and the other Yogas present in
the chart are also vital in fixing one's status in the world.

DEFINITION
Should all the quadrants be occupied by planets, the
Yoga is caused Chatussagara.
RESULTS
The native will be valorous, prosperous and command

COMMENTS
Quadrants are the houses of environment and are called
the abode of God Vishnu, who is responsible for sustenence
of this universe. When all the quadrants are occupied by
planets one is very active for acquiring name and fame and
resorts to great social interaction. Malefic planets in
preponderance in quadrants make one cruel and one
endeavours for achieving. his goals at any cost.
The chart hereunder is of emperor Alexander the great,
who 'started on his mission to rule the whole world. The
Moon is exalted in the Lagna, denotes high ambitions. The
Lagna and the Sun are also aspected by Jupiter. The Sun
conjuncts Mars in the 3n1 and the 3n1 lord in exaltation made
him courageous, fiery and strong willed. Saturn is the Yoga
Karaka for the chart and is placed in the lQihcausing a Sasa

DEFINlTION
Should the I Olh house from the Lagna or the Moon be
occupied by a benefic, Amla Yoga results.
RESULTS
The individual born under Amla Yoga will be endowed
with ever lasting fame and unfainting prosperity till the end
of his life.
COMMENTS .
The strength of the Lagna or the Moon and particularly of
the planet in I Qlh is vital here. Due consideration is to be
given to sign and aspects to the I Qlh house where the benefic
planet is anchored. It is said that any planet in the lOth gives
prosperity in his Dasa-Bhukti, although the malefic gives
after sustained efforts and perhaps through questionable
means. At the same time a badly placed malefic is surely not
for making one a man of character. Amla means pure, so
conclusively we can infer that stronger the benefic; in the
IOlh, strongly through fair means the prosperity and
affluence will be achieved.

in a trine (5th or 9th) from the Moon, the Yoga is called
Bhaskara Yoga,.
RESULTS
The individual will be .brave, lord like, learned in
scriptures, handsome, with the wealth of music tones,
resolute and competent.
COMMltNTS
From the configuration of planets the Sun will fall
between the Moon and Mercury. The Moon being aspected
by Jupiter will get strength who is otherwise weak being
near to the Sun. Thus there will be auspicious Ubhayachari
Yoga. Mercury will also be aspected by Jupiter, both the Sun
sign and the Moon sign thus will become strong.
Following is the chart of Goswami Gokul Nath jl. where
Bhaskara Yoga is quite evident. He was valorous, protector
of human values, famous among masses, learned in

39. MARUT YOGA(~ c:fm)


DEFINITION
lf Jupiter is in a trtne (5th or 9th) from Venus, the Moon in
the 5th house from Jupiter and the Sun in a quadrant from
the Moon, the resulting Yoga is termed as Marut Yoga.
RESULT
The individual will be efficient ·in bargaining, broad
chested, Iich, of royal rank, big bellied and well versed in
scrtptures.
COMMENTs
The diposition of the Moon, Venus and Jupiter in trtne to
each other is peculiar to this Yoga and the Sun should be in
a quadrant from the Moon. The Moon in a quadrant from
the Sun is volatile and the person's mind moves swiftly like
the Marut (wind) but the 5th and 9th positions of Jupiter and
Venus from the Moon do not let her be volatile and thus the
results are auspicious.
The follOwing horoscope is a good example. The native was
a manager in a plivate firm with good emoluments. He was

DEFINITION
If the Lagna lord occupies the same position in two
Vargas identical to his exaltation, Moolatrikona or own sign,
the resulting Yoga is Parijata Yoga.
RESULT
The native will secure comforts, be valorous, generous,
intelligent and famous.
COMMENTS
The Lagna lord becomes strong by occupying two of his
own Vargas. He is then called in Parijatamsa. As much own
Vargas he gets as much strong he becomes.
Chart No.30 of Late President Dr. Rejendra Prasad
illustrates this very well even though the Lagna lord is not
in his own or exaltation sign. Jupiter is in Leo sign and Leo
Navamsa, that is, Vargottama. Since Jupiter is in Leo, in
sign and Navamsa, therefore in Parijatamsa.
41. PARIJATA YOGA ( qtfhm'1 ~)
DEFINITION
Should the dispositor or Navamsa lord of the Lagna
lord's sign lord be posited in a quadrant or trine or in his
exaltation or own sign, the structured Yoga is Parijata.

RESULTS
The native born under Parijata Yoga will be a sovereign,
destined to be happy past his prime, will have a say and
respect among ruling classes, will conform to traditions and
customs, will be compassionate and attentive to his duties
and engagements.
COMMENTS
Partjata Yoga is a powerful Rajayoga and may be held in
high esteem. It lifts a person equivalent to the status of a king
or head of a monastry ifYogas for ascetism are present or head
of a religious sect ifYogas for religious supremacy are present.
For Paljata Yoga scholars opine to have it formed, if the
dispositor of the Lagna lord's sign lord or the Navamsa lord
of the Lagna lord's sign lord joins a tripe, quadrant, own or
exaltation place. This also seems to have weight.
Bata Yoga Manjari puts it like this, viz, if the dispositor
of the 9th lord's sign lord is exalted and the Lagna lord with a
benefic is in a quadrant, Parijata Yoga is formed.
This also is quite impetuous as both the Lagna lord and
the 9th lord gain momentum to produce elated personality.
Chart No.31 of Vinoba Bhave is illustrative of Parijata
Yoga. The Lagna lord's sign lord the Moon's dispositor
Venus is in a quadrant and strong also, having cancelled its
debilitation for being with exalted Mercury. Who does not
know this great Bhudaan leader, a true disciple of Mahatma
Gandhi and a sincere propagator of Ahimsa movement.

RESULT
The person born in Kalanidhi Yoga will be gallant,
passionate, amiable for his virtues, greeted by ministers or
authorities, will remain exempt from diseases, dangers and
foes and will be a multi faceted personality.
COMMENTS
Kalanidhi Yoga seems to induce good qualities in the
native. Jupiter in Mercury's signs is highly convertible and
intelligent and can take turn according to the demand of the
situation for his own good while in Venus's signs is a wealth
magnet and possessed of philanthropic qualities.

43-45. LAKSHMI YOGAS ( ~ citTT)


DEFINITON
43. If the Lagna lord is powerful and associated with the
lords of quadrants and trines, a powerful Lakshmi Yoga is
formed.
44. If the 9th lord being in his exaltation sign, Moola
Tr:ikona sign or own sign, is in a quadrant from the Lagna
and the lord of Lagna is strong, a Lakshmi Yoga is formed.
45. If the 9th lord and Venus in their exaltation or own
signs are in quadrants or trines then also Lakshmi Yoga is

good qualities, handsome, a ruler of a good region, religious,
without disease, a man of high status and integrity,
prestigious, honoured by kings, owning a noble wife of
charitable disposition, protecting his own people and
enjoying wealth and comforts of life.
COMMENTS
1t is obvious that Lakshmi Yoga is based upon the
strength of the Lagna lord, the 9th lord and Venus. As the
name suggests this Yoga has particularly to do with the
wealth; other Yogas and strength of the chart will decide the
degree of wealth attained by the native.

own sex and much loved by fair sex. A Vyaya Malika native
will be extravagant and honoured for his liberal attitudes.
COMMENTS
The shadowy planets Rahu and Ketu have not been
involved in Malika Yogas perhaps because of not possessing
a physical body. The names mentioned above indicate the
inception houses of Malika Yogas. Almost all authorities
agree to the above scheme of Malika Yogas, but only
Bhavartha Ratnakara takes it to start from the Lagna.

61-62. CHAMARA YOGAS (~ citrr)

DEFINITION
Should Jupiter and the Moon be in the 6th and 8th to
each other and Jupiter be not in a quadrant from the Lagna,
the Shakata Yoga is formed.
RESUTS
The individual born under Shakata Yoga if be from a
royal family will become indigent. He will suffer from poverty
and live an insignificant life. He will always be distressed
and disliked by the king.
COMMENIS
The Moon does not get any strength being in the 6th
from Jupiter while Jupiter does not occupy a trine from the
Lagna, therefore he does not help the chart also in general.
Thus the Moon sign is not fortified by the fortune Jupiter
(Dhana Karaka).
The effects of Shakata Yoga have not been noticed very
significantly in a large number.of charts. This is perhaps
because of the permutations for aspecting the Lagna lord,
the Sun, the 11th and 2nd lord and Jupiter's own placement
in the 5th or the 9th from the Lagna are many. However, the
52 Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology

effects of Shakata Yoga have been evident while the transiting

RESULTS
The native is king like, valorous, famous, intelligent and

COMMENTS
Jupiter in the Lagna strengthens it and the Moon in a

and the Lagna become strong. The Sun, Mars, the Moon and

the peculiarity of this Yoga.

72. INDRA YOGA ( ~ <im)


DEFINITION
If Mars be in the 3rd house from the Moon, Saturn in the

RESULTS
The native born in this Yoga will be amiable, celebrated,
worthy of high rank, eloquent, wealthy and possessor of
fame and prowess.
COMMENTS
There are four planets in the 3rd and 9th from the Moon
thus fortifying his courage and fortunes by mutually
aspecting themselves.
According to Western Astrologers four planets share in
pairs sextile (60°) and trine (120°) aspects to the Moon.
These two aspects are considered harmonious in that
system. A trine is also auspicious in Hindu system. The
Moon is strengthened in this way and auspicious results
occur due to one's diversified intelligence and courage, and
he becomes valorous like Indra.

73. PARVATA YOGA ( "ti"Cffi ~)


DEFINITION
If benefic planets be in quadrants, the 6th and 8th
houses either be unoccupied or occupied by the benefic
planets, the resulting Yoga is Parvata.
RESULTS
The person who has his birth in the Parvata Yoga will be
prosperous, wealthy, head of a city, f6nd of women and
engaged in literary pursuits.
COMMENTS
'Jataka Parljata' has also mentioned a Parvata Yoga,
which states that the Lagna and 12th lords should be
mutually in Kendras and aspected by friends.
For Aquarius Lagna how can Saturn alone be mutually
in quadrants according to this Yoga.
For the native to be spared of enemies and debts, the 6th
and 8th better remain vacant.
The Parvata Yoga described in 'Hora Sara' (19/19)
seems to have some gravity-

Should there be planets in quadrants and none in the
12~ and Sth while the 9th has an occupant in it, the resulting
Yoga is Parvata.
Here also the 6th is not asked to be vacant.
'Phala Deepika' (6/35) has a different kind ofParvata Yoga
stating that the Lagna lord should be in a quadrant or trine
identical with his own or exaltation sign. Here the auspicious
results will be reaped due to the strong Lagna lord.
'Sata Yoga Manjari' states: The dispositor of the Lagna
lord should be in- an angle or trine identical with his
exaltation or own sign to cause Parvata Yoga.
In our opinion these Parvata Yogas are capable of
bestowing honour and prosperity to some extent. but are not
so powerful to eclipse the intensity of other important Yogas.
As an example here is the chart of a person who rolled in
wealth and enjoyed prosperity through out his life.

COMMENTS
It is the Yoga for knowledge and wisdom as the strength
of Mercury and 5th house is desired. The 5th lord in the 1Qth
is essentially a Yoga for wisdom. The Sun in briliance gives
fame and in own house bestows wisdom. The Moon aspected
by Jupiter and Jupiter in the 11th from Mercury are all
Yogas for the intelligence and wisdom.
The example horoscope is of Sh.Y.B. Chavan, the late
foreign minister of India. The lOth lord is in the 5th, Mercury

yet is strong being in a quadrant and hemmed in between

COMMENTS
Matsya means a fish, it is considered a good sign in
Hindu Astrology and Palmistry and, therefore, Matsya Yoga
is considered to be an auspicious Yoga. The Yoga is very
rarely found in the horoscopes.

Malefic planets in the Lagna and the 9th, mixed planets in the

strange, how can the malefics in the two most auspicious
houses can produce the results described above?
Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology 57

77. KOORMA YOGA ( ¥ elm)


DEFINITION
If benefics are in the 5th, 6th and 7th houses and also fall
at the same time in their exaltation, own or friendly
Navamsas or if the benefics occupy the 3n1, 1"1 or I Ith houses
identic~ with their own, exaltation or friendly signs, the
resulting Yoga is Koorma.
RESULTS
The Koorma Yoga native will have wide spread fame,
royal comforts and be eminently virtuous. His nature will be
dominated by Satva Guna. He will be pious by nature,
philanthropic and liked by people for his kindness.
COMMENTS
Koorma Yoga indicates name and fame for good deeds
rather than wealth and prosperty. It has much to do with
the native's piousness, and philanthropic attitudes.

78. KHADGA YOGA ( ~ elm)


DEFINITION
Should there be an exchange of signs between the lords
of the znd and gth and the Lagna lord be in a trine or
quadrant, Khadga Yoga is obtained.
RESULTS
The native born under Khadga Yoga will
be endowed with
wealth, fortunes and happiness, be learned in Sastras, be
intelligent, mighty, grateful and skilful.
COMMENTS
Khadga Yoga seems to endow the native with inherent
knowledge and intuitive understanding of the Sastras. The
native may attract fortunes due to his past share of good
deeds.
The horscope of the English Lady Annie Besant (on page
58) is worth studying in this respect. Mars is the common
lord of the znd and gth and is situated in the znd in his own sign.

The Khadga Yoga native delves so much into the spiritual

79. KUSUMA YOGA ( <!'{!)4 ~)


DEFINITION
Should Jupiter be in the Lagna, the Moon in the 7th and
the Sun in the 8th from the Moon, the resulting Yoga is
Kusuma.
RESULTS
The individual will be aristocratic, the chief of a town.
enjoying unending reputation and very well looking after his
dependents.
COMMENTS
There is Gaja Kesari Yoga for Jupiter being in 7th from
the Moon and Shubha Vasi Yoga is also present, Jupiter
being in the 12th from the Sun. A partial Chandradhi Yoga is
also present, Jupiter being in the 7th from the Moon. Thus
Kusuma Yoga is the result of merging of the three Yogas.
Moreover, Jupiter in the Lagna is himself an asset for the
concerned chart. The high government officials in the
capacity to rule, to order and to take decisions are born
under Kusuma Yoga.

80. MRIDANGA YOGA(~ eitll)


DEFINITION
Should the Navamsa lord of an exalted planet be posited
in a quadrant or trine identical with his exaltation or
friendly sign and the lord of the Lagna be powerfully
disposed, Mridanga Yoga exists.
RESULTS
The native will be possessed of nobility of mien and fame
and endowed with sovereign good fortunes.
COMMENTS
The students of Astrology are well aware of the
importance of Navamsa. Mridanga means a musical
instrument like the drum. The fame of Mridanga Yoga native
spreads like the sound of a Mridanga and therefore the
name of the Yoga. The horoscope No47 of the ex-king
Farukh of Egypt. It illustrates Mridanga Yoga. The Navamsa
lord of exalted Jupiter is also Jupiter and in a quadrant from
the Lagna in his exaltation sign. The Lagna lord Venus is

Sata Manjari Raja Yoga has different Mridanga Yoga, viz,

Yoga is Mridanga.

81. AMSAVATARA YOGA ( ai·~IICI<"tH cfm)


DEFINITION
The Lagna be a movable sign, Venus and Jupiter be in
quadrants and exalted, Saturn also be in a quadrant, the
Yoga formed is Amsavatara.
RESULTS
The native born under Amsavatara Yoga will be equal to
a king, holding good reputation, visiting holy shrines,
knowledgeable in fme arts, adjusting to the environment,
passionate, well versed in Vedanta and sacred scriptures.
COMMENTS
The native is supposed to be pure and pious if born
under this Yoga. The native is also deemed to be vezy efficient,
active and ready to adopt and learn something new. He is
always ready to enter new vistas of knowledge and adventure.
All these characteristics have their origin in the ascending
movable sign, Jupiter, Venus and exalted Saturn (a
philosopher) in quadrants influencing environmental factors.

Amsavatara Yoga is distinctly present. He was a prolific writer

('~ft, ~, ~ irtr)
DEFINITION
82. Should the benefic planets be in the 2nd, 12th and 5th
houses respectively with respect to the 2nd lord.
83. Should Jupiter, the Moon and Mercury be in the 4th,
9th & 8th houses respectively with reference to the
7th lord.
84. Should the Sun, Venus and Mars occupy the 4th, lOth
and l l th houses respectively from the lord of the Lagna, the
above Yogas in sequence are called Hart, Hara and Brahma
Yogas.
RESULTS
The native born under these Yogas will be well versed in
sacred lore, truthful in speech, possessed of pleasing
manners and comforts, gallant, victorious over enemies,
beneficient to all living beings and virtuous.
COMMENTS
This Yoga is termed as Trimurti Yoga in Brihat Parasara
Hora Sastra representing the trinity of Hindu gods. In
62 Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology

Brahma Yoga the sequence of the planets does not match


with the sequence of houses as the greatest elongation of
Venus from the Sun can be only 48°. If the Sun is in the 4th,
how can Venus be in the lOth and it is not feasible even in
the higher latitudes, even if we reckon the Yoga from the
houses than from the signs.
B.P.H.S represents the Hart, Hara Brahma Yoga, viz:

In these Slokas benefics are placed in the three houses
mentioned in all the three Yogas, which is feasible.
Therefore, we are of the opinion that the three benefics
should be suitably placed in the respective houses.

85. PUSHKALA YOGA ( 9JfifiH ~)


DEFINITION
If the Lagna lord and the Moon sign lord together are in
a quadrant identical with their friendly sign and the Lagna is
aspected by a strong planet then Pushkala Yoga is generated.

RESULTS
One born in Pushkala Yoga will be honoured by kings,
wealthy, renown, having fine clothes and costly ornaments.
He will speak sweetly, lord many people and attain a high
position.
REMARKS
The Lagna lord and the Moon sign lord gain strength by
being in a quadrant and hence the Lagna and the Moon gain
power and momentum. Again the Lagna should be aspected
by a strong planet which means additional strength
supplied to the Lagna.
The chart No.49 is of a very wealthy and influential
person. The Lagna lord Mercury is in the I Qth in own sign.

Pushkala Yoga are present in the above chart of a late Seth,
a wealthy person.

86. MAHABHAGYA YOGA (~ ~)


DEFINlTlON
Should for a male, the birth be in the day time and the
Sun, the Moon and the Lagna be in odd signs or for a female
the birth be at night and the Sun, the Moon and the Lagna
be in even signs, Mahabhagya Yoga results.
RESULTS
The male or female born under Mahabhagya Yoga will be
endowed with good qualities and fortunes desirable to their
gender according to the existing times.
COMMENTS
Odd signs represent the activity element of the human
body system; the Sun, the Moon and the Lagna represent
the soul, the mind and the physical body of the native. When
all the four factors, viz: the birth, the Sun, the Moon and
the Lagna fall in odd signs in the day respectively at the
birth of a male, an ideal male is born.
Similarly the night and the even signs represent the
passivity element of the human system. The Sun, the Moon
64 Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology

and the Lagna again represent the soul, the mind and the
physical body of the native. As said above when all the four
factors fall in even signs respectively, are present at the
night birth of a female, an ideal female is born endowed with
feminine qualities, good conduct and who gives birth to
fortunate children.

87. GAUR! YOGA (1fl'U ~)


DEFINITION
Should the Moon be in a quadrant or trine identical with
her exaltation or own sign and be aspected by Jupiter, Gauri
Yoga is constituted. ·

RESULT
The native born in Gauri Yoga will be endowed with
brilliant and handsome body, a friend of royal people,
possessing virtues and sons, defeating his foes and will be
admired. His face will be radiating lotus like smile and his
family lineage will be admired.

COMMENTS
In Hindu Astrology the strong Moon is the key for every
success, stability and nobility of the mind. In Gauri Yoga
stress is laid on the strength of the Moon.
In a classic on Yogas, Gau~ Yoga is presented, viz:
qjif~ . ~~ ~<i'l~ib4fUI ~I

If the Navamsa lord of the lOth lord be in the lOth house
with the Lagna lord identical with his exaltation sign, Gauri
Yoga results.
This Gauri Yoga also boosts·the JOthhouse and the Lagna
which are also the key factors for worldly honours.

DEFINITION
Jupiter, Mercury and Venus in 1"1, 2nd, 4lh, 5lh, 7lh, 9lh,
and lOth houses jointly or individually constitute Saraswati
Yoga if at the same time Jupiter is in his own, exaltation or
friendly sign.

RESULT
The native born under Saraswati Yoga will be well versed
in poetry, knowledge of Sastras, intell1gent, praised by all
and displaying his merits in almost all fields. He will be rich
and endowed with good wife and children.
COMMENTS
The configuration of planets in Saiaswati Yoga is such
that it is not very rare to find this Yoga. Three benefics in
quadrants certainly do influence the individuality to achieve
some station in life. Jupiter the planet of prosperity and
happiness is desired to be strong by the sign position. It is
possible that many other Yogas may emerge out of Saraswati
Yoga.
The chart No.51 hereunder is of Swami Karpatrt Ji
Maharaj, a Vedic scholar. The Sun and the Moon have
exchanged signs. A strong Vasi Yoga is also present though
the Moon is not as much strong, for being near to the Sun.

DEFINITION
Should the 11th and 9th lords be in the 11th house with

resulting Yoga is Gaja.
RESULTS
The native born under Gaja Yoga will be affluent, happy,
prosperous and wealthy throughout life.
COMMENTS
The combination of the 9th and I I th lords is auspicious,
the strong Moon provides brilliance to it and when aspected
by the Lagna lord it makes the person a money magnet. He
earns just due to the thrust of his Bhagya (fortunes).

The combination requirements are not fully met as the


Moon is weak. Venus is not aspecting the combination in the
11th, but Jupiter's aspect compensates for that. Venus is
otherwise strong being in the lOth house. The other definition
for Gaja Yoga, viz, the lord of the 9th and the 11th be conjunct
the Moon and be aspected by the lord of 11th tells one to be
from a rich family and is good enough to make one ~ch.

90. DEVENDRA YOGA (~ cim)


DEFINITION
The Lagna be a fiXed sign, the lord of Lagna be in the 11th
and the 11th lord be in the Lagna and the lord of 2nd be in the
1Oth or 1Oth lord be in the 2nd, the resulting Yoga is Devendra.
RESULTS
The native born in Devendra Yoga will be happy, wealthy
and enjoying all comforts through out life. He will have
handsome physical body and be equal to a king in status.
COMMENTS
Interchange of houses by the Lagna and 11th lord
signifies fulfilment of all aspirations. The fixed sign rising
and the 2nd lord in the 1Oth make one to be well set
professionally to fetch huge profits. The strength of the lords
decides the status of the horoscope.
In a classic the Devendra Yoga is represented, viz;
~ tA-t ib..r~a <•;i:qqJI ~ 1

The Lagna be fiXed sign, the Lagna lord be in the Lagna,
the 2nd lord be in the lOth, the lOth lord be in the 2nd and the
11th lord in strength be in the Lagna. This configuration is
possible only for Scorpio Lagna and fails for Taurus, Leo and
Aquarius Lagnas.
For the Taurus Lagna native Venus in the Lagna and the
2nd lord Mercury in the lOth h~s very bleak chances to occur,
for Mercury and Venus can only be at maximum 28° and 48°
away from the Sun. For Leo Lagna the 2nd and 11th lord is
Mercury. How can he be in the Lagna and lOth at the same
68 Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology

time? Similarly for Aquarius Lagna the 2nd and 11th lord is
Jupiter.

91. MUKUTA YOGA (lf¥ ~)


DEFINITION
Should Jupiter be in the 9th from the 9th house, his
dispositor be with a benefic planet and Saturn be in the 1Qth
from the Lagna, Mukuta Yoga is produced.
RESULTS
The individual born under Mukuta Yoga will be a head of
some tribe, cruel anQ. having good and bad periods in life.
COMMENTS
The native of Mukuta Yoga may be a tribal head, a
Zamindar, a forest ranger or an officer of higher rank in the
estate office in a government department.
There is another reading for Mukuta Yoga, viz; Jupiter be
in the 9th from the 9th lord, a benefic planet be in the 9th from
Jupiter and Saturn be in the lOth. This geometry is also good
enough to cause results described for Mukuta Yoga.
Following chart is good example ofMukuta Yoga. There is
Sasa Yoga too. The 9th lord Jupiter is in the 9th from the 9th
house and his dispositor Sun is conjunct Venus and
Mercury, the two benefics. Moreover, Jupiter is also
conjunct the Lagna lord Mars. The native was commissioner
of forests of one of the States of India and inheritedly was
from a wealthy and influential back ground.

DEFINITION
The lOth house lord exalted and the 6th lord in

RESULTS
· The native will be affluent, enjoying prestige and honour.
The native will be victorious in debate and war and will
vanquish his enemies.
COMMENTS
Exalted I Qth lord denotes success in all undertakings,
but the I Qth house should be free from· malefic influences.
The other adjoining conditions could be the strong Lagna
lord, Mars and the 3rd lord for becoming victorious over
enemies. The 6th house signifies debts, diseases and enemies
and the weak 6th lord does not let them prop up and if they
could, the I Qth lord would deal with them in a suppressing
manner.

93. VIDYUT YOGA(~ <i\Tr)


DEFINITION
Should the lord of the II th house be in deep exaltation in
conjunction with Venus and be in a quadrant from the
Lagna lord, Vidyut Yoga is caused.
RESULTS
One born in Vidyut Yoga will be having an unobstructed
flow of finances from the goverment.
COMMENTS
The I I th lord in exaltation with Venus and in a quadrant
from the Lagna lord will definitely be a configuration for
abundance of wealth.
The chart No.54 is of Ex-Prime Minister Morruji Desai

DEFINITION
If the Lagna falls in a fixed sign and be aspected by the
6th lord, the Navamsa lord of the 6th lord be with the Sun in
the 9th house, the resulting Yoga is Sri Chandika.
RESULTS
The native born under Sri Chandika Yoga will be
affluent, aggressive, valorous, famous and long lived.
COMMENTS
From the definition of Yoga it is clear that the native will
be war like, aggressive and will have abundance of wealth by
coercion with and suppression of his enemies. The fixed sign
rising points towards fixity of purpose and the Sun with the
Navamsa lord of the 6th lord in the 9th house are a pointer
for the fortune to be endowed on account of enemies.

95. GANDHARVA YOGA (~ citTT)


DEFINITION
Should the malefics be in the 5th and 9th houses, Jupiter
being the I Qth lord be conjunct the Lagna lord, the strong
Sun be in his exaltation sign and the Moon be in the 9th
house, the combination formed is Gandharva Yoga.
RESULTS
The native born under Gandharva Yoga will be strong

headed, wanior like, handsome, valorous, enjoying all


comforts and will be somewhat adament.
COMMENTS
The Moon will be in the 9th with a malefi.c and a malefi.c in
the 5th will contribute for the native to be strong headed,
adament and wanior like. The exalted Sun and Jupiter with
the Lagna lord make one wise and a royal personage. Our
definition of the Yoga has been culled from a classic which

BRAHMA YOGA ( '61tl)4@ ~ 'm ~ ~)
DEFINITION
Should Jupiter be in a quadrant from the 9th house (3rct,
6th or J2th from the Lagna), Venus be in a quadrant from the
I Jth house (2nct. 5th, 8th or 11th from the Lagna) and Jupiter
and Venus have exchanged signs, the resulting Yoga is
Chaturmukha.
RESULTS
One born in Chaturmukha Yoga will be commanding
prestige and honour, sovereign, knowing royal codes,
victorious, learned and having a long lease of life.
COMMENTS
The Yoga seems to bestow ministerial powers and
honours. The Yoga is best formed for the Aquarius Lagna
native, when Jupiter is in Libra and Venus in Sagittarius in
the 9th and the I 1th respectively.
The Yoga is formed in the best way for a Taurian, if
Venus is in Pisces and Jupiter is in Libra, in the 11th and 6th
houses respectively. Though the 6th and the 12th houses are
quadrants from the 9th house; yet Jupiter does not feel very
happy in these houses and other Trika houses. The readers
may indulge in the permutation and combinations for the
72 Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology

other Lagnas also. The authenticity of the definition of


Chaturmukha lies in the Sloka, viz;

97. VISHNU YOGA(~~)


DEFINITION
Should the 1001 lord be in 9 01 lord's Navamsa and both be
placed in the 2nd house from the Lagna, Vishnu Yoga results.
RESULTS
The native born under Vishnu Yoga will be a devotee of
lord Vishnu, afluent, prosperous, wealthy, a good orator,
earning through foreign trade or foreign services, and be
very witty.
COMMENTS
Lord Vishnu is very witty and saves the gods in the
heavens from the crafty nature of demons by his
intelligence, oratory and his dutifulness for the sustenance
of pious forces in this universe. Therefore the Yoga should
be strong enough to deliver the results described above.

98. SHNA YOGA (mer~)


DEFINITION
Should the 5th lord be in the 9th house, the I Qth lord be
in the 5th and the 11th lord be in the 9th house, the resulting
combination is Shiva Yoga.
RESULTS
The individual born under Shiva Yoga will be very
courageous, valorous, affluent, virtuous, a kingly person
and possessed of divine wisdom.
COMMENTS
The Yoga relates the three houses of prosperity, merits
and income. The native will be engaged in Karma under the
thrust of the force of fortunes. The divine intelligence
emanates from the placement of the 5th and 11th lords in the
9th, therefore the native may work in the advisory capacity to
the govt. or be in foreign service or be having earnings from
the foreign trade. The 9th lord in the 5th is the supreme
position for the Bhagya lord and the wisdom acquired by the
native is spiritual and godly.
Our definition of the Yoga is based on the following
Sloka, viz'

~~ 'll1 4 ll{l~l~ ~ ~:II
The chart No.56 of known famous Tamil actor Shivaji

the 5th. The 5th lord is in the 9th but instead being with the
11th lord Jupiter, the 5th lord is aspected by the 11th lord
Jupiter. Shiva Yoga can also be termed as Srikantha Yoga.

DEFINITION
Should Mars be with the Moon in the same sign,
Chandra Mangala Yoga results.
RESULTS
The native born under Chandra Mangala Yoga will be
. greedy, desirous, envious of other family members, badly
treating his mother and earning through unlawful means.
COMMENTS
Mars is the Karaka of courage and desires and the Moon
of sensitive mind, therefore this Yoga makes the native
courageous. He is always busy to acquire material
possessions. There is a classical Sloka, viz;
:tl~loill<iltiliNI ~ \ifrilf.r ~I
fci~RI Of 'ff ~ <§<il<rqfil~ I I
Laxmi, the goddess of wealth does not leave the native of
Chandra Mangala Yoga like the moral sensitivity does not
leave the lady of a prestigious family.
The earnings may be through baser means in a mean
type horoscope and through fair means in a good horoscope.
The Yoga is equally weighty whether formed by conjunction
or by aspect. The Yoga is excellent in good houses and mean
in bad houses. Natives of the Yoga have been found to be of
debased character towards women folk g~nerally and in
cases of loose morality may go even to any extent.

DEFINITION .
If the 41h and 1Qlh lords have exchanged signs and the
Lagna lord is exalted, Chapa Yoga is caused.
RESULTS
The native born in Chapa Yoga will be a good adviser,
wealthy, valorous and head of some treasury.
COMMENTS
The exchange of the 41h and 1QU• lords tends to make one
a good manager of estates or treasury and this position is
attained due to strength of the Lagna.lord. A person may
also prefer to do his own business at home and in return
may fetch a handsome profit.

101. NABHI YOGA(~~)


DEFINITION
If Jupiter is in the 91h house from the Lagna and in the
11th to him is the 9th lord conjunct with the strong Moon,
Nabhi Yoga is caused.
RESULTS
A Nabhi Yoga native is learned, wealthy, enjoying all
comforts, honoured by the king and proud of his status.
76 Yogas-The Matvels of Hindu Astrology

COMMENTS
The geometry formed is not a common one to find.
Jupiter the greatest fortune is desired in the 9th house, then
the 9th lord (lord of Bhagya) is required in the house of gains
from the 9th with the strong Moon which again is a supreme
placement for the 9th lord. Thus is constituted a very
powerful Yoga for wealth and prosperity. If the paternal race
is not prosperous enough, this Yoga definitely brings
prosperity to the father etc.
Nabhi Yoga is formed with planets in sextile to each
other, a great placement for intellectual honours and
prosperity. (Western Astrology)
This is not a good Yoga for the Taurus Lagna because
both Jupiter and the Moon would be debilitated.

102. DHWAJA YOGA ( ~ ~)


DEFINITION
Should the planets in strength be placed severally in one
another's sign and one of them at least be posited in the
Lagna, Dhwaja Yoga is caused.
RESULTS
The native with Dhwaja Yoga will acquire fame, courage
and wisdom. He will be liked in royal circles and will be rich.
He will be fickle minded also if the exchange is with Trika
lords.
COMMENTS
The planets in Dhwaja Yoga acquire the qualities of the
sign they interchange with other planet, but at the same
time feel happy as if they are in their own signs. One out of
such planets in the Lagna greatly enhances the quality of
the Lagna by having acquired the qualities of two signs.
The horoscope of Late Prime-Minister Smt. Indira Gandhi
has four such planets. There are also a few 6/8 placements
which do indicate adamency and undemocratic attitudes at
times. The aspect of Jupiter from a fixed sign to the Moon,
the Sun and Mercury, and Mars aspecting the Sun and
Mercury added finnness and possessiveness in her character.

The native born under Go]a Yoga will be the apostle of
wisdom, dear to the king, en1ighting the gathering by his
presence, a learned in scriptures and fine arts, a preceptor
of eminence and long lived.
COMMENTS
The Yoga Jays emphasis on the mental factors, viz; the
full Moon and Mercury ascending in the Navamsa chart.
The full Moon with Jupiter and Venus is a top factor for high
optimism and emotional understanding of the spiritual
knowledge. Gola Yoga is apparantly a Gajakesari Yoga even
more than it because Venus is also conjoined. Therefore, the
results are very auspicious.

108-110. CHANDA YOGAS (~ ~)


DEFINITION
108 Should Rahu be in the 1Olh and the 1Olh lord with
Saturn be in the 3rc1 house, Chanda Yoga results.
109 A planet exalted in Lagna be conjunct with the 3rc1

the current trends and beliefs and the 1 Qlh lord with Saturn
80 Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology

in the srd house makes one to be unscrupulous too, if the

predisposes to an element of greediness.

111. GO YOGA (-tiT~)

individual, married in a rich family and his fortunes will rise

happily posited in the sign, otherwise it will only cause
extramarital pleasures. Since both the I st and 7th lords are
desired to be strong by sign placements, the native is sure
to make progress by leaps and bounds and the initiation
sparks from his wife and in-laws.
Our definition of the Go Yoga is based o~ the following

sweet words and always aspiring for better future.
Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology 81

COMMENTS
As the Navamsa lord of the Moon sign has to be with a
benefic, the native will be full of optimism and a follower of
moral codes. Much will depend upon the sign position of the
Moon, her Navamsa lord and the benefic. The birth should
be in the day of bright half is the condition, therefore not
occuring to the natives of the dark half and night births of

COMMENTS

and independent life and moulding himself according to


circumstances.
COMMENTS
The three Yo gas stated above elaborate the effects of the
Trika lords in the other Trika (6th, 8th or 12th) houses.
According to Phala Deepika these lords leave the evil
acquired due to lordship and become instrumental for the
good. See the following Sloka of Uttara Kalamrita (4/22)

The above Sloka adorns these Yogas by saying that the
person becomes a great king lording over other kings and
blessed with fame and wealth. ·
Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra does not endorse the above
results but says: the 6th lord in the 6th causes the native to
have enmity with his kinsmen but friendship with others; in
the 8th makes the native sickly, inimical, desirous of other's
wealth and wives and be impure and in the 12th the native
always spends on vices, is hostile to learned people and
tortures living beings ie, he is cruel.
B.P.H.S. for the 8th lord says: the 8th lord in the 6th
causes the native Win over enemies, to be disea~ and
during childhood incur danger through snakes and water;
in the 8th makes the native longlived, if strong, a thief,
blameworthy and deposing own bad deeds on others and in
the 12th, the native is shortlived and sinful.
B.P.H.S. for the 12th lord says: the 12th lord in the 6th
makes the native incur enmity with his own men, is of angry
disposition, is sinful and miserable and Will go after other's
wives; in the 8th causes the native gain, speak affably, enjoy
medium longevity and endowed with good qualities and in
the 12th the native faces heavy expenditure, is without
physical felicity, is irritable and spiteful.
Yo gas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology 95

Now if the 8th house and 8th lord both are afflicted, the
longevity is affected adversely and only Saturn in the 8th is
not bad for longevity. Mars in the 8th causes one to incur
debts. Mflictions to the 6th and 8th houses cause diseases.
Benefics in the 12th enhance expenses for the good cause
and the malefics for the sinful deeds.
Conc~ively, we can say that the afflicted Trika lords in
Trika houses enable one to amass wealth through unlawful
means and unscrupulous methods. The health and
longevity get deteriorated on account of sinful deeds and
lascivious attitudes. The native actually is a beast in the
skin of a lamb.

planets, the 1Qth lord be associated With or aspected by the
96 Yogas-The MaiVels of Hindu Astrology

malefics and be placed in the 6th, 8 1h or 12th house, Duryoga


is caused.
RESULTS
The native born with Duryoga does not achieve fruition
of his endeavours. His efforts go in vain. The native has to
wander in search of suitable profession. He is not honoured.
He keeps others in dark for getting his ends meet.
COMMENTS
To get success and professional satisfaction, the factors
associated with highest point i.e, lOth house and lOth lord
should be strong. The native endeavour!:!__il;l a lawfui and
meaningful way to achieve a station in life when these two
factors· are strong and if otherwise he becomes hypocritical,
unscrupulous and a deceiving individual always thinking
on lines of harming others. Other factors of gentlemanly
qualities should also be judged. The least malefic position
for the 1Oth lord in Trika houses is the 12th where he is able
to withstand with some of his house characteristics.

NABHASA YOGAS ( ~ ~)
Varaha Mihira and Kalyana Verma have dealt with
Nabhasa Yogas very descriptively in their monumental
works Brihat Jataka and Saravali.
Nabhasa Yo gas consist of four divisions, viz;
l. Aakriti Yogas having 20 sub divisions.
2. Sankhya Yogas having 7 sub divisions.
3. Aashraya Yogas having 3 sub divisions.
4. Dala Yogas having 2 sub divisions.
A peculiarity about Aashraya Yogas is that the effects
described to them do not come to pass, should they partake
the character and nature of other Aakriti Yogas; but only
the effects of other Yogas come to pass.
One distinguishing feature of the Nabhasa Yogas is that
their effects are felt throughout life unlike the other Yogas
where the effects are felt particularly during the Dasas and
Bhuktis of the planets functional in the Yoga.

134. NAIA YOGA ( ~ c:im)
DEFINITION
Should all the planets exclusively occupy movable, fiXed
and common signs respectively, Rajju, Musala and Nala
Yogas result.
RESULTS
The individual born under Rajju Yoga will be envious,
delighted by visits to foreign lands, fond of travel, attractive
in appearance, cruel and mischievously disposed.
The individual born under Musala Yoga will be proud,
wealthy, engaged in several works, steady minded, bold, famous,
liked by the king, of good status and firm in determination.
The individual born under Nala Yoga will be defective of
some limb, shrewd, resolute, attractive in appearance,
gathering money, helpful to relatives. He will feel dejected,
depressed and disappointed at times.
COMMENTS
For Rajju Yoga all the planets should be posited in
cardinal or movable signs exclusively. Cardinal signs
represent restlessness, dashing attitudes and envious
disposition to be ahead of others in every respect.
For Musala Yoga all the planets should be posited in
immovable or fiXed signs exc1usively. Fixed signs represent
fixity of purpose, materialistic attitudes, practicality and
common sense in day to day affairs, self interest and
material benefit is the foremost thing here.
For Nala Yoga all the planets should be in common signs
exclusively. These signs display characteristics of the fiXed
as well as movable signs. These signs are more shrewd,

Due to vigorous thinking over a problem and passiveness
arising out of it, they feel dejected, indecisive and disappointed.
The chart given below is of a person who is constantly on

DEFINITION
Should all the benefics be posited in quadrants, Sraka or

Should all the malefics be posited in quadrants, Sarpa or

RESULTS
The native born in Sraka or Maala Yoga will be happy,
endowed with conveyances, robes, wealth and pleasures,
will be splendorous and enjoying many females.
The native born in Sarpa or Bhujanga Yoga will be
crooked in disposition, pitiless, always subjected to grief,
poor and subjected to other's mercy for his boarding and
lodging.
Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology 99

COMMENTS
The benefics in quadrants do bestow happiness on to the
native in proportion to their strength in the signs occupied
by them. The benefics in the quadrants are responsible for
the conducive environment generated around the native.
The malefics in the quadrants are adverse regarding the
help from the people in the immediate environment at home
as well as work place. All the efforts prove to be fuWe.
The condition to be strictly followed in above two Yogas
is that when benefics are in the quadrants no malefic
should be in these houses and when rrialefics are desired in
quadrants, all the benefics should be disposed in houses
other than the quadrants.
Garga wants that the Moon should be left out of the
consideration and be not classed as a benefic 6r malefic.

7th houses, Sakata Yoga is caused. And should all the


planets be posited in the 4th and lOth houses, Vihaga or
Pakshi Yoga is formed. ·
RESULTS
A man born in Gada Yoga will always perform yajnas,
have accession to wealth, be skilful in Sastras and poetry
and will always care for money and honour.
An individual born under Sakata Yoga will earn his
livelihood as a driver, be sickly and cursed with a bad wife.
He will be a dunce and poor.
The native born under Vihaga or Pakshi Yoga will be a
~ssage bearer, intent on wandering, living by sexual
dealings, quarrelsome and shameless.
COMMENTS
For Gada Yoga there are four varieties involving the
(i) 1st and- 4th (ii) 4th and 7th (iii) 7th and 1Qth and (iv) 1Qth and
1st houses respectively. Yavanas have named these as
Gada, Shankha, Vibhuka and Dhwaja. The Gada etc Yogas
are for the use of Mantras or Tantras for financial
prosperity. The native is always busy in spinning the web to
trap money from various means. The planets here are in
square to each other which is a frictional aspect in Western
Astrology and makes one restless to achieve material gains.
The squares are bad for sociological adjustments and the
native is adament of his own views. Therefore, the effects
are somewhat good imd somewhat bad as well.
In Sakata Yoga the planets are desired in the 1st and 7th
houses and the Yoga throws a heavy weight on the married
life. Since driving of vehicles is mentioned, there are many
varieties in driving profession from a pilot to an auto driver,
perhaps this adjustment will have to be made by the
strength of the planets. This is an opposition aspect of
Western Astrology which seems to be working behind the
native being a person of labour class and having a bad wife.
What other reasons we can ascribe to the configuration
where all the planets are mutually related but unable to
produce any thing exceptional. The opposition aspect is
Yogas-The Marvels of Hind':' Astrology 101

termed basically a bad aspect in Western Astrology but at


the sametime it is a complementary aspect whereby there is
always a scope for improvement and adjustment.
In Vihaga Yoga the 4th and 1Qth house placement of the
planets is unable to produce good results and the native is
classed a vagabond or a messenger and the one earning his
livelihood through sexual dea1ings.
The opposition of planets is playing mischief here also.
Varaha Mihira in his Raja Yogas has not given importance to
the squares and oppositions rather he has tried to place the
planets in sextiles and trines.

Earlier in the Aashrya Yogas where the planets were


asked to be in all movable, fixed or dual signs, if those signs
fall in the quadrants of just mentioned Gada, Sakata and
Vihaga Yogas: the Aashrya Yogas cease to exist according to
Varaha Mihira and results owing to Alikriti Yogas will only
be experienced. Suppose all planets occupy Aries and Libra
identical with the 1st and 7th house, both Rajju (Aashrya

Rajju Yoga will be absent and that of Sakata will exist.

140. SRINGATAKA YOGA ( -~ialecti 7..I)Tr)


141. HALA YOGA (~ 7..1)Tr)
DEFINITION
Should all the planets be in the Lagna, 5th and the 9th
houses, Sringataka Yoga results.
102 Yoga:s-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology

Should all the planets be confined to a group of


triangular houses other than the one containing the Lagna,
Hala Yoga is structured.
RESULTS
The person born in Sringataka Yoga will be a warrior,
dear to the king, will have a lucky wife, be rich, hating other
women than his wife and will certainly be happy in his later
life.
The native born in Hala Yoga will eat in plenty, be
emotional and be engaged in agricultural pursuits.
COMMENTS
The planets are posited mutually in a grand trine, the
1st represents self; the 5th, progeny and Poorvapunya and
9th fortunes. In such a geometry all the six planets will be
conjunct to or aspected by Jupiter. The results will vary
with the sign placement of planets. Fortified planets will
make one ride over the horse of fortune and enjoy obedient
sons, good career and healthy body.· Thus Sringataka Yoga
is good enough even' under the lean position of planets.
Varaha Mihira has put the native with Hala Yoga in
agricultural profession consistent with its name Hala
(plough). We assume ifthe trinal houses involved are 2"d, 6th
and 1Qth it can still raise the native to a royal rank, if the
houses 3rd,' 7th and 11th come into picture it is still very
much auspicious for a high position and only the houses
4th, 8th and 12th may put one in a low professional area. A
person with trinal position of planets is a merited individual
who can achieve an elated position without disturbing social
and natural phenomena.

142. V AJRA YOGA ( ~ 7:lfq)


143. YAVA YOGA (~ 7:lfq)
DEFINITION
Should all the benefic planets occupy the 1st and 7th
houses and all the malefics be in the 4th and lOth houses
respectively, Vajra Yoga is constituted.
Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology 103

Should all the malefics be in the 1st and 7th houses while
the benefics be in the 4th and lOth houses respectively, Yava
Yoga is formed.
RESULTS
The native born underVajra Yoga will be handsome with
well built body, bold, free of diseas~s inimical to his own
people, unfortunate professionally, endowed with good wife
and happy in the early and last part of his life.
The native born under Yava Yoga will be intent to
observe fasts and other religious codes, doing good deeds,
valiant, firm and happy in the middle part of his life.
COMMENTS
The characteristics of the planets occupying the pair of
houses are reversed in both the Yogas. In Vajra Yoga the
benefics are placed in the 151 and 7th houses and the malefics
on the Nadir and Zenith. The native may consequently be
inimical to his relatives and not well placed professionally.
Inimical to his relatives here would mean that he will not
show unnecessary sympathy with them. He will inherently
be a polite person believing in matter of fact things and will
only be sympathetic in practical terms (benefics in the lst).
He will never have good relations with his auspicious wife who
will never let down his morals in adverse times. If happily
situated malefics are in the lOth, he may be having peculiar
professional laurels and adamancy of purpose and the
reverse also holds good. Therefore, one ·needs to adjust and
predict according to real essence ofthe things.
In Yava Yoga, the native maybe stubborn, unhealthy and
may have a diseased wife. He will have only sympathies for
his relatives. Much ofthe results will depend upon the-actual
sign positions of the planets.
To illustrate Vajra and Yava Yoga clearly we give here
under two pictures of heavens. These configurations can
only be possible in Bhava Chakra in higher latitudes where
the elongation of a sign extends to two Bhavas sometimes.
ln Rasi Chakra this geometry is not possible as the
maximum elongation of Mercury and Venus from the Sun
can only be 28° and 48° in the signs.

lived in higher latitudes and must have noted these Yogas
functioning in Bhava charts.

144. KAMAL YOGA


145. VAPEE YOGA
DEFINITION
All the planets posited in the four quadrants
promiscuously cause Kamal Yoga.
All the seven planets posited in Panapara (2nd, 5th, 8th
and 11th) houses or Apoklima (3rd, 6th, 9th or 12th)
houses cause Vapee Yoga.
RESULTS
A person born in Kamal Yoga will enjoy wide fame,
immense comforts and numerous virtues. He will be very
rich, handsome, long lived and will lord the whole earth.
An individual born under Vapee Yoga will be a clever
hoarder of wealth, enjoying a few but long enduring
comforts and will be happy on account of his sons.
COMMENTS
In Kamal Yoga the emphasis is on the wide spread fame
and immense virtues. These things can only be enjoyed by
good deeds. All the quadrants are involved with the seven
planets, the native is more extrovert and deeply committed
to social interaction to maintain human values.
In Vapee Yoga the 2nd and the 8th houses are involved.
We may expect the native to have a tendency of keeping in
secret his monetary possessions. ·

DEFINITION
Should all the planets occupy continuously four signs
starting from the Lagna (1st, 2nct, 3rct and 4th), Yupa Yoga is
formed.
Should all the planets occupy continuously four signs
starting from the 4th (4th, 5th, 6th and 7th), !shu or Sara Yoga
exists.
Should all the planets occupy continuously four signs
starting from the 7th house (7th, 8th, 9th and lOth), Sakti Yoga
is caused.
'i'ogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology 107

And should all the planets occupy continuously four


signs starting from the lOth house (lOth, 11th, 12th and
1st), Danda Yoga is framed.
RESULTS
A Yupa Yoga native will be charitable, endowed with
riches, liberal, a distinguished person and will be observing
religious fastings and vows.
An Ishu Yoga native will be of cruel disposition, an
incharge of prison, a manufacturer of weapons, a police
officer, fond of mean handi work and he will have a great
lust for hunting.
An individual born under Sakti Yoga will be devoid of
wealth, bereft of ease, mean, lazy, short lived, a grieved
man, slothful, deformed and an expert in war.
A person born in Danda Yoga will be a discarded person
from his community, will lose his wife and sons and will
lead a life of servitude.
COMMENTS
A native of Yupa Yoga will have spiritual knowledge and
be engaged in religious rites. Sara Yoga is concerned with
the cruelty and law enforcing machinery of the kingly eras.
Sakti Yoga tells that one will be expert in war while Danda
Yoga refers to the servitude of the native.
It appears that these Yogas have more to do with the
professional engagements of a person, his monetary
condition, his family conditions and his social standing.
These Yogas do not seem to enhance the merits of the
horoscope though merits could be present there with
different permutations of planets owing to their lordships
and natural characteristics. Danda Yoga refers to servitude,
then a minister in king's court is also of this category; but
must be having a Raja Yoga set up of planets. We should
apply common sense in such intricate matters and not
apply the Yogas verbatim.
See the example chart of Danda Yoga on page 108.
The native was initially in service as legal advisor. Then
he went into his own legal advisorship and earned good

name and fame. He did not lack happiness due from his
wife and children. The results of Danda Yoga seem to have
been pushed in the back ground by other very significant
Yogas like Gajakesari and conjunction of the Lagna lord
Venus and Yogakaraka Saturn in the lith house. Astrology
is a comprehensive science and deductions made out of a
single clue could be dangerous.

Yupa Yoga described above must be good as the planets


are rtsing according to the progressions of the Western
Astrology. Next best in order is Danda because the planets
are culminating to the zenith by progressions. The other two
Ishu and Sakti are bad as the planets are either setting or
culminating to the Nadir. But then lordships of the houses
by the planets and sign placements also have their own role
to play. The above discussion. was just to illustrate how can
we widen our sphere of comprehension.

reckoned from the Lagna or other quadrants (4th, 7th or
lOth) respectively, the four Yogas arising are called Nau,
Koota, Chhatra and Chapa.
Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology 109

RESULTS
A Nau Yoga native will be earning his livelihood by living
on the surface of water. He will be strong, stingy and
famous.
A person born under Koota Yoga will be addicted to cruel
deeds, wandering in hills and fortresses and be in exile.
A person born under Chhatra Yoga will be kind, liberal,
intelligent, dear to royal personage, helpful to his near and
dears and be happy in the beginning and the last past of his
life enjoying matchless riches and powerful status.
A Chapa Yoga individual will be a thief, a blame worthy
person, a jailor and be without fortunes in the middle part
of his life.
COMMENTS
In Nau Yoga all the planets are in· the invisible half but
tending to rise, therefore the planets are productive of good
results. The native may gain through professions related to
water, he may be doing business abroad through water, be a
navigator, or a captain on ship or he may be a dealer in sea
':'wealth.

In Chhatra Yoga all the planets will be in the visible half


and the birth will be in happy surroundings. The native will
earn a good amount of wealth but his wealth may decrease
in the middle part of his life and it will be a continuous
process as the planets tend to go below the descendant by
progressions.

In Chapa Yoga half of the planets will be in the visible


half and those below the earth will be endeavouring to rise.
In the later life of an individual all the planets will be above
the horizon and will bestow comfortable life full of

Chandra Yoga is produced.
RESULTS
The native born in Ardha Chandra Yoga will be
handsome, strong, fortunate, wealthy, an army chief and
will lead a life of pleasures.
Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology 111

COMMENTS
The Yoga commences from the succeedent or cadent
houses. It will be an excellent Yoga if starts from the 2nd,
5th, 9th or 11th house, the results will be absolutly auspicious.
If the Yoga starts from the 3rd, 6th, 8th or 12th house, the
resulting auspiciousness will be of meagre strength.

155. CHAKRA YOGA (~ <im)


DEFINITION
Should all the seven planets occupy six alternate houses
(1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th and 11th) reckoning from the Lagna,
the Yoga produced is Chakra.
RESULTS
The person born under Chakra Yoga will be intelligent,
wise, commanding respect, rich and will be a king of kings
having submission from others at his disposal.
COMMENTS
In Chakra Yoga each planet has an aspect over the other.
Chakra Yoga does not involve any of the Trika (6th, 8th and
12th) house and hence its splendid results, It evidently
involves 2 quadrants, 3 trines, the house of courage and the
house of income (Aaya).
From the Western principies all the planets are in sextile
(60°) and trine (120°) relationships which signify an
uninterrupted flow of energy between tire planets. Though
there are also some oppositions; but they are mor:e of
complementary nature than obstructive.

156. SAMUDRA YOGA (~ ~)


DEFINITION
Should all the seven planets be posited in six even (2nd, 4th,

RESULTS
The native born under Samudra Yoga will be affluent like
a king, wealthy, having keen intellect, of truthfu~ disposition
and will be free from worries.
COMMENTS
Samudra Yoga will be auspicious for the family of the
native as there will be a planet in the 2nd aspected by a
planet from the 8th.
By Western Astrology planets will be in sextile, trine and
opposition aspects as were· tinder Chakra Yoga. Such a
position is productive of intellectual supremacy and the
native may be in a higher counselling position.

The chart No.84 illustrates Samudra Yoga which is one


out of the 20 Aakrtti Yogas mentioned by Varaha Mihira in
his Brihat Jat"aka. As said· earlier mere presence of of
Nabhasa Yogas cannot introduce an affluent native; but the
presence of other Yogas for kingl~ status is essential.
Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology 113

Varaha Mihira has raised his own doubts about the


formation of Yogas Vajra and Yava due to demand of
Mercury and Venus in quadrant from the Sun and this
geometry is impossible in the tropical countries like India.
However, this is possible in the countries with higher
latitudes and that too only in Bhava Chart when a sign
extends to two complete Bhavas (houses). The famous
English Astrologer C.E.O Carter has discarded all the
methods of house calculations in his 'Essays on Astrology'
on the fact that principles of Astrology buckle due to these
methods of house division based on the fact that M.C at all
places remains the same, therefore, find out all house cusps
by adding 30° and its multiples to M.C with minor
corrections. He further says that the method of equal house
division gives more accurate predictions than the other
methods of house division which involve a great
mathematical jugglery. The Hindu Dasa system is based on
this method of equal house division and which has stood
the test of time from centuries. This is only we, who have
created all these methods otherwise there is no such
division there in the heavens, there are only planetS':'·stars
and some particular geometries with fixed boundries called
constellations and signs.
We beg pardon from our readers to have deviated from
the core subject matter that Varaha Mihira himself did not give
much importance to Nabhasa Yogas and he included these
in his key work Brihat Jataka only because earlier astrologers
Maya, Yavana and others had recognised these Yogas.

Sankhya Yogas
These Yogas are seven in number equal to the number of
planets and are produced by the seven planets occupying as
many signs as are represented by the seven figures
commencing from seven and diminishing successively by
one, i.e .. by the numbers. These Sankhya Yogas are to be
reckoned only when those mentioned previously are absent.

COMMENTS
Sarvali holds different view from Brihat Jataka and asks
one with Pasa Yoga to be bonded which is against Brihat

.bonding and incarceration classical works suggest the

DEFINITION
Should all the 7 planets be distributed among any four
signs, Kedara Yoga is constituted.
RESULTS
The native born under Kedara Yoga will be generous
towards his relatives, acquiring wealth by pursuing
agriculture, fickle minded and will be truthfully disposed.
COMMENTS
Previously in Hala Yoga it was mentioned that the native
will pursue agriculture and now it is Kedara. The Nabhasa
Yoga configurations of planets are definitely helpful in
estimating the working sphere of an individual, whether he
will be engaged in manual labour or be an intellectual in a
broader sense. As Kedara Yoga tells that the native will be
an agriculturist with fickle mind, we can clearly perceive
Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology 117

that the native is from manual labour class and not from an
intellectual class. Now the sign and the aspects involved will
decide the class, a Zamindar, a big farmer, an ordinary
farmer or simply a worker in the fields. Now a days the
manual classes have many working areas open to them.
The horoscope hereunder is of an ordinary worker, a
machinist, but with a dull intellect in literary pursuits. He
cannot even write properly but otherwise he is very
scheming for his safer future. He got disabled due to hip
bone T.B and has one leg a little shorter. Note Kedara Yoga

DEFINITION
Should all the Seven planets occupy any three, two and
one signs respectively, Shula, Yuga and Gala Yogas arise.
RESULTS
A Shula Yoga native will ·be furious. getting wounds in
quarrels, courageous, likes to enjoy money but is poor.
A Yuga Yoga native will be a drunkard, hypocrite, fickle
minded and will suppress his appetite with the begged food.
A native born under Gala Yoga will be of poor longevity,
ignorant, a vagabond, slothful and penniless.
COMMENTS
All the three Yogas commonly make one poor, miserable
and unfit for the civilised society. The reason is clear that
the energies of the benefic planets are nullified by the
energies of the malefic planets, when they are just within a
space of 90°. The lordships, sign placements and of course
almost no aspects among them render them inert to do any
thing worthwhile. The planets are in the I I 12 in the Yuga
Yoga an adverse placement and are totally spoilt under Gala
Yoga due to conjunctions. However under Shula Yoga there
is some initiative, for a few planets are in sextlle to each
other; but that too is weakened by the 1/12 relationships
among them. Better sign placements and other
strengthening features rather can do some propping up
work in this case. The results like furiousness. courage may
emerge out of the strength of the Lagna factors or the Sun
and Mars combinations or the Sun and Mars being in the
3rd from the planets representing mental faculties.
Kalyana Verma has said about Sankhaya Yogas, viz;
q{"'l%ifcs£Hth941 q{"'l•~{ct ;:;fifcfff ~I

The individual with Sankhya Yogas usually progresses

wife, sons, friends, servants etc and gets wealth on that


account. If he works as an ·tndependent identity he remains
restless and dissatisfied.
Varaha Mihira in his Brihat Jataka {12/10) has clearly
mentioned >iN~ 'l<f~mtf.'<t~I<I means that these Gala and
other Sankhya Yogas are to be reckoned only when those
mentioned previously are absent. Here 'l<f~mtf.'<t~t<l i.e ..those
mentioned previously includes the three varieties-Aakriti,
Aashraya and Dala. Therefore, we are left with very few
options at least for the last three Sankhya Yogas i.e., Shula,
Yuga and Gala Yogas.
For instance Rajju, Musala and Nala of the Aashraya
Yogas and Sringataka and Hala of the .ruikriti Yogas leave a
space of 90° for the manifestation of Shula Yoga of the
Sankhya variety. Some other configurations are also
possible. .
Gada, Vihaga and Sakata Yogas of the Aakriti Yogas still
leave some more room for the manifestation of Yuga Yoga
but Rajju, Musala and Nala are for narrowing the room. The
spaces left for the formation of Yuga Yoga then are 2/12,
6/8, 3/11 and 1/5. The 1/12 and 6/8 positions, for all the
planets turn out to be destructive in worst configurations of
Yuga Yoga. The only happy placements are 3/11 and
l/5 because then the planets will be in sextile (60°) and
trine (120°) aspects among themselves according to Western
thought. In Hindu Astrology the trinal placement is also not
considered bad.
There is no replacement for Gala Yoga.
Nau, Koota, Chhatra, Chapa and Ardha Chandra Yogas
can set aside Veena or Vallaki Yogas. Sarnudra and Chakra
Yogas can take the place of Damini Yoga.
Kamal, Vapee, Vajra and Yava of the Aakriti and the two
Dala Yogas can at times operate for Kedara Yoga.
The chart No.90 of celebrated Tabla maestro Ustad Zakir
Hussain is a typical example of Shula Yoga refuting what is
said for Shula Yoga. A number of Raja Yogas have veiled
Shula Yoga. Though the native is of manual class but of

164. AVA YOGAS ( a:tCilil~i)


DEFINITION
Should the Lagna or its lord be associated with or
aspected by the malefics and be in a Trika (6th, 8th or 12th)
house, the obtained geometty is Ava Yoga.
RESULTS
The native born in Ava Yoga is very unrestful and he
prefers the company of bad elements of the society. Neither_
his body is healthy nor his character. The native remains
short lived, unnoticed, in deep poverty and mcurs disgrace.
COMMENTS
The whole horoscope gets vitality from the strong Lagna
lord and with the weak Lagna and Lagna lord even the
powerful Raja Yogas lie eclipsed like the birds start to their
night rest when the Sun is fully occupied by Rahu. This
Yoga occurs to the natives in professions where they have to
work hard themselves. The intensity of the Yoga is
considerably reduced if a benefic aspects it. It can also be
named Dehakashta Yoga.

165-166. DEHA SOUKHYA YOGAS

DEFINITION
165 :Should the Lagna lord be in own Navamsa or be
aspected by the benefic planets.
166: Should Lagna lord be in the Lagna or be in or a
quadrant or trine and the benefics occupy the quadrants.
RESULTS
These two Yogas are said to keep the body healthy and
free from diseases.
COMMENTS
The strength of the Lagna lord is essential to be healthy ..
If the Lagna or Lagna lord is weak one cannot enjoy the
fruits of other houses. The weak Lagna or Lagna lord not

only affects the health but also luck and progress. The
Lagna lord in a quadrant or trine gains strength and if the
benefics also occupy quadrants, the Lagna lord and the
Lagna get additional strength .
. The health gets adv11rsely affected even when the dispositor
. of ~he ~na lord is badly disposed ot evily' aspected.

167. PUSHTA DEHA YOGA (~ ~ ~)


DEFINITION
Should th~· Lagna be a movable sign and the Lagna' lord ·
also be in a movable sign in aspect of the benefics cause
Pushta Deha Yoga. _
RESULTS
The native will be very active, progressive and possessing
a muscular body.
COMMENTS
When the Lagna and the Lagna lord are in movable
signs, the native is very active and unrestful. He always
works for the better future. Therefore, the native does not
allow extra flesh to accumulate around his skelton. The
native has intuitive understanding of the fact, what a
healthy body means. Even a labour class individual can
have a healthy body but he does not survive for long, for
want of nutrition in countries like India.

168-170. STHULADEHA YOGA(~~~)


DEFINITION
168: Should the Lagna and the Lagna lord fall in watery
signs and be aspected by the benefics or watery planets.
169: A benefic sign in Lagna be occupied or aspected by
Jupiter from a watery sign.
170: The Navanisa lords of the Lagna and Lagna lord
should be placed in watery signs.
These three Yogas produce Sthula Deha Yoga.
RESULTS
The native born in this Yoga will be an obese.
Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology 123

COMMENTS
Watery signs associated with the Lagna factors certainly
make one corpulent. Pushta Deha is different from obesity.
Jupiter in the Lagna or aspecting the Lagna factors fro~t~- a
watery sign makes one corpulent due to over eating,
luxurious living and added use of sugar. The Sun in the
Lagna particularly in Leo gives a big and. square body having
a tendency to .corpulence in advanced age. Cancer, Libra,
Scorpio, Capricorn Oater half), Aquarius and.Pisces are watery
signs and Jupiter and Mercury are the planets responsible
for corpulence if related to the Lagna factors. The Moon in a
watery sign in the Lagna has the same tendency, however,
in other signs she makes the body plump· due to retention of
water in the tissues. The Sun and the Moon if placed in
watery signs also make one prone to obesity.

DEFINITION
171: Should the Lagna fall in a dry sign occupied by a
dry planet or the Lagna lord be in a dry sign with a dry
planet.
124 Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology

172: Should the Navamsa lord of the Lagna be a dry


planet or occupy a dry sign and a malefic be in the Lagna.
In either of the two combinations Karsharya Deha Yoga
is caused.
RESULTS
The native born in this Yoga will be lean and lanky.
COMMENTS
The Sun, Mars and Saturn are the dry planets. Artes,
Taurus, Gemini, Leo, Virgo and Sagittarius are the dry
signs. Any of the above signs falling in the Lagna and any of
the above planets occupying Lagna make the native
emaciated. Mercury-and Jupiter have dual character in this
respect. In dry signs they tend to be lean while in watery
signs they tend to be corpulent. Other principles like the
Lagna or the Lagna lord occupying dry signs may be used
with advantage in this respect.
Example chart here under is of a lean and lanky girl. Dry
planet Mars occupies the dry Virgo in the Lagna. The Lagna
lord Mercury is in the dry sign Sagittarius. The Moon
though is in a watery sign but is aspected by dry Mars and
her dispositor Jupiter is in a watery sign Scorpio in a cadent
house, therefore, practically ineffective. Same is the case
with other luminary, the St,m.

Cancer in the 2nd house or the Sun in the 3rd house in Leo
Yo gas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology 125

the native is corpulent though not to a great extent. This is


due to excessive intake of sugar, fried eatables and excess
calorie diet and the native feels drowsy after meals because
the flow of blood is more towards the stomach for digesting
the swallowed material and the brain gets less supply of
blood, hence drowsiness and lassitude.
Mars and the Sun if strong and associated with the 2nd
or 3rd house make the native fond of sweet dishes.

173: Should the Lagna lord be in the 6th, 8th or 12th
house in the malefic Navamsas or be afflicted by the
malefics.
174: Should the Lagna lord be in the Lagna conjoined
with the 6th, 8th or 12th lord, Rogi Deha Yoga is formed.
RESULTS
The native born under Rogi Deha Yoga remains
constantly sick and possesses a weak constitution.
COMMENTS
In both the Yogas mentioned above the weakness of the
Lagna lord due to association, aspect or Navamsa position
with the maleftcs is the cause of constant illness. Of the
three lords of Trikas (6th, 8th, or 12th) the potential to
cause illness ascends in the order 12th;6th and 8th lords.
The 8th lord is the prime mischief maker in this respect.

The association of the 12th lord with the Lagna lord


manifests more on the mental plane due to out of control
conditions and excessive expenditure. Under this Yoga the
immuhity system of the body deteriorates day by day and
the native falls prey to the demon of disease.
The horoscope No.94 is of a lady born on 2nd July 1938.
Jupiter in the 9th indicates a loyal husband and prosperity
till the husband lives (Gaja Kesart Yoga). Unfortunately he
died in 1993. The Sun, Mars and Mercury in the Lagna kept
her constantly ill since her marriage. She has no control
over her tastes. She suffered of tuberculosis of uterus and
did not conceive. She has asthma, Mercury conjunct the
Sun and Mars in the Lagna. She has rheumatoid arthritis
as Saturn is in 1Oth from the Lagna and from the planets in
the Lagna. Recently she got hip bone fracture.
A Yoga named Aalasya Yoga is also caused, if Jupiter
conjuncts Saturn or the weak Lagna lord is related to ill
placed Saturn.
Malefics in the Lagna cause ill metabolism and
.lassitude.

DEFINITION
Should the Moon be aspected by Mars in Cancer, Leo,
Sagittarius, Scorpio or Virgo Lagnas, the Yoga is caused.
RESULTS
The native born will be bald headed.
COMMENTS
The medical cause for baldness according to Ayurveda is
excess of bile in the body. If the Moon is aspected by Mars
biliousness is caused. The Moon in Cancer aspected by
Mars will also cause bilious disorder in the system so also
when the debilitated Moon in Scorpio is aspected by Mars.
When Virgo rtses and the Moon is aspected by Mars, the
disorders of colon cause biliousness and the resulting
baldness.
Malefics in the Lagna also cause baldness.

RESULTS
The native with any of the above Yogas will have some
kind of physical debility.
COMMENTS
Whenever the Lagna factors are afflicted by Saturn. the
debility is caused. Saturn in the 12th is very instrumental
in leg bone fracture and the resulting debility. Venus is the
planet which adds grace in exposition to the external world.

COMMENTS
Kapata is the product of hardened emotions and
desirous nature. In Yoga 182 the desires (Mars) compel the
rational mind (Mercury) to adopt wrong course while in Yoga
183 the emotions are dead and greed (malefic planet) takes
charge of the individual. To be free of greed and lust, the 4th
house elements should be strong and unafflicted.

RESULTS
The native has keen sense of humour and he
participates in such gatherings.
COMMENTS
Mercury is the planet of humour. When Mercury is with
Mars in Saturnian signs the depth ·and acuteness of
humour is enhanced. Mercury in Lagna gets strengthened
and its duality gets a boost from the aspect of Jupiter.
One is witty and humorous, if the Navamsa lord of the
Sun placed in Vaisesikamsa is in the 2nd house. A planet is
in Vaisesikamsa if he occupies I 3 times his own Vargas in
Shodasa Vargas. ·
A Yoga named Kautuki Yoga is formed, if a strong benefic

in the 6th or the 8th lord be in the 2nd house.
186: Should a strong Mercury and Mars be in the 6th or
Mars and Mercury be in the Lagna.
RESULTS
The native in these Yogas is untruthful and a thief.·
COMMENTS
It is common that one who is a thief is a liar as well or a
liar is a thief, the two are inter-related terms. The Yoga for
untruthfulness also occurs if the 2nd lord goes to the house
of Mars or Saturn and is supported by the malefics in
130 Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology

quadrants/trines. When one has to hide his unsocial acts or


misdeeds he lies accordingly. The Yoga for untruthfulness
can be related to theft and unlawful activities.
If the 2nd lord is posited in quadrants or trines afflicted
by malefics and the 2nd house is also afflicted the native is
shy of speaking before the public or gathering. In reality
public speaking is related to the self confidence and that
emanates from the strong Lagna lord, a strong and well
placed Mars and the prominent Sun. Of course a strong
Jupiter has also to do with public speaking. The fear and
shyness is taken away by Mars, the theaterical and showy
nature springs from the Sun, proper selection of words is
the domain of Jupifer and the strong Lagna lord; without
ambition nothing can be achieved.
Though the discussion has gone out of proportions, yet
to elaborate untruthfulness we have gone to that extent.

The native of these Yogas back-bites or speaks ill about
some one to others.

COMMENTS
It is a matter of good luck that such a Yoga is present in
a horoscope. The native is really helped by his son. Poorva
Punya of such people could be very strong that they get
such solace from their sons. This Yoga can also be applied
to the charts where father becomes rich after the birth of a
son or progeny.
In the chart No.99 ofGautam Budha_this Yoga is present
in full potency. The 51h lord Mars and Jupiter are conjunct
with the 2nd lord Sun.

(~~'11M irtr)
DEFINITION
Should the 6th lord or Karaka of the 6th aspects the
strong 2nd lord or conjuncts him, the Yoga is caused.

RESULTS
The native becomes wealthy on account of his enemies.

COMMENTS
Saturn and Mars. are the Karakas of the 6th house, both
of them should be included in the Yoga. The additional
condition should be the strength of Lagna factors otherwise
the native will lose his wealth to his enemies.
The relation of 2nd lord with Saturn can be a dangerous
preposition, however, the relation with the other Karaka
Mars is definetely a good Yoga to become rich on account of
enemies.

( 'lw~i~"'i ~'11M im)
DEFINITION
Should the 7th lord or the Karaka of the 7th be related to
the strong 2nd lord by conjunction or aspect, the Yoga is
formed.
RESULTS
The native becomes rich on account of his wife.
COMMENTS
The native is to get money by dint of his wife. There are
various ways for it, the wife may be a working lady, she may
bring a good amount in dowry, she may get some property
from her parents or her husband may be helped by her
parents to settle in some business. The Karaka of the 7th
house is Venus, his association with the 2nd lord can also
manifest such results.

Should the I Oth lord and the Karaka planets of the lOth
house be related to the strong 2nd lord by aspect or
conjunction, the Yoga mentioned results.

COMMENTS
It seems to be a prtnciple in these Yogas that whichever
house lord or Karaka is related to the strong 2nd lord, the
native becomes rtch on account of that agency. In Indian
conditions father's wealth commonly is inhertted by the son
and there is nothing peculiar about it.

COMMENTS
The Marakas here may be referred to as the lords of 2nd,
7th and Trika (6th, 8th and 12th) lords. Marakas in respect
of poverty is the greatest curse and a penniless person
cannot enjoy worldly comforts be it honour, prestige, valour,
education, good food or happy living. It befalls on those who
had been cruel, merciless and violators of natural
phenomena in previous births.

256-257. RINA GRASTA YOGAS ( SfiOBt'Rt ~)

enemy sign. The native left school in middle class. The 4th
house signifies learning by heart. When 4th house factors
are spoilt then also one does not acquire a good education

the Moon is in the 5th, the native is a forcefu1 speaker with a
wealth of ideas. His face wil1 be oval (Moon) and angry in
looks (Mars). He may have pimples (Mars) and moles (Rahu)
on the face. Co-ordination With the Lagna lord is essential.

In these Yogas the native becomes blind.
Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology 155

COMMENTS
Blindness is hardly seen now a days, however. those who
are spared of medical care, nutritional diet and are ignorant,
still suffer of it. The Yoga 295 is for the blindness by birth
wherein all the factors signifying eye sight are in an evil house.
The Yoga 296 signifies that the native loses his eye sight
due to excessive reading and writing. These Yogas were
framed in olden days and are irrelevant now a days.

RESULTS
In both the Yogas the native incurs injury to his eyes.
COMMENTS
Injury can occur to the eyes by an accident while in olden
times it was also inflicted on to the individuals as royal
punishment for the serious crimes so that he could not repeat
it again. Yoga 297 is for the injury through an accident
while Yoga 298 declares it to be inflicted as a punishment
due to wrath of rulers. In olden times it was done by piercing
red hot iron rods into the eyes. It was "done to Prithvi Raj
Chauhan by Mohammed Gouri. Now a days this can occur
due to revenge by some one or by an amateur eye surgeon.

one of the said Yogas.
COMMENTS
Venus is a party in almost all the Yogas for eye diseases,
Venus governs all the gelatinous and sticky substance of
the body like semen, pre-coital fluid, saliva and natural lens
of the eye. Yoga 300 indicates disease in the right eye. Yoga
302 signifies disease in both the eyes. In Yoga 301 it is the
inflammation which is the cause of the trouble.
The Sun is the Karaka of the right eye and the Moon is
the Karaka of the left eye. Malefic planets in the 6th destroy
the left eye sight and it is a serious trouble if the Moon and
the 12th lords are also afflicted. Similarly malefics in the
8th destroy the right eye sight particularly if they at the
same time afflict. the 2nd lord and the Sun. The strong Lagna
lord has a saving effect against evils of the Yoga.

Should the 3rd lord, the 3rd house and Mars be
conjoined or aspected by the benefics or be strong
otherwise i.e. be strong by Vargas etc, the Yoga results.
Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology 157

RESULTS
The native will have amicable good brothers, who are
prosperous as well.
COMMENTS
It is difficult to find happy relations among co-barns
these days. Since the dawn of civilisation the bone of
contention among co-barns who had been dear to each
other in the childhood are inheritances and envious
disposition of their better halves. If the third lord and the
Lagna lord are friends, the native has happy relations with
his co-barns, the converse is also true. Several evil Vargas
in the 3n1 cause annoyance with co-barns.
Should the 3rct lord and Karaka Mars be in odd
Navamsas and be aspected by male planets, the native has

DEFINITION
Should the 3rd lord and Mars be in the 6th, 8th or 12th
house in malefic signs or be conjunct or aspected by the
malefics or be in the Navamsa of malefics, the Yoga occurs.
RESULTS
Either there will be no co-born or they will not survive.
COMMENTS
The Yoga is quite simple to understand. According to
dictum Karako Bhava Nasayah. Mars should destroy
brothers in the 3rd. In practice he is not found to be doing
so; but he does inflict greedy and selfish nature in them. ··
They quarrel over the inheritances and are envious of each
other. The Sun in the 3rd indicates unhappy relations with
co-barns. If the 3rd house falls under the Vargas of the
Moon and is aspected by. Mars, the co·borns remain
unhealthy.
If the 3rd lord is a female planet or a female planet be in
the 3rd, one will have sisters next to him.

Mars has attained Neechabhanga. Mars is in Virgo Navamsa

Mars should also be like this, Vikrama Yoga arises.
RESULTS
The native born under Vikrama Yoga will be courageous
and will inflict defeat to his enemies to achieve his goals.
COMMENTS
Benefic Navamsas, aspects and conjunction of benefics
does not let the mentality to go astray. One is courageous or
bent upon to achieve his desired station, when one has
stable mental approach and one eyed view of his desired
destination. A classic quotes-

Should the 3rd house be aspected by few benefics or the
malefics be in the 3rd house or the 3rd house or the 3rd

required in the 3rd just to avoid mental pliability and to
gain firmness in one's approach while the aspects of

COMMENTS
The 3rd house indicates mental agility and decision
taking ability. When the 3rd lord is exalted and is with
benefics, the native is a good war strategist.
The chart of Shivaji the great is worth studying here.
Saturn is exalted in the 3rd house and aspected by 3rd lord
Venus and Jupiter. Shivaji preferred proxy war which was
ideal under the circumstances. Rahu in Taurus enhanced
his strategic acumen. The Karaka of the 3rd, Mars in the

The native is of pbilanthi-opic disposition and ready to
help the needy.
COMMENTS
The 3rd house deals with one's mental inclinations and
habit pattern. lf the 3rd house factors are afflicted by evil
planets, one is selfish, deceptive and a nuisance in the society.
The Yoga also engages one in reading the high class
literature and sacred texts.
Following is the chart of a native who was engaged with
a religious society in the Dasa of Jupiter. Lagna lord Venus
is exalted and Jupiter is in his own sign in the 3rd house.
The native hates religious hypocrisy and helps the needful.
If the 3rd lord is associated with or aspected by Mercury
and Jupiter, one has the advantage of listening to sweet
discourses on religion and morality.

COMMENTS
The Moon and Venus are the significators of mother in
the Yoga. The ·7th house has also been included being 4th
from the 4th according to Bhavat Bhavam principle. We
have noticed these Yogas practically and found if the Lagna
lord is inimical to the 4th lord or the Moon, one does not
keep good relations with mother. There is a verse-

is unable to breast feed him.
The native of the chart No. 122lost his mother early. The
Moon is debilitated and the Moon and Venus both are

RESULTS
The mother of the native will be a sexual debauchee and
will cohabit with the men other than the native's father.
COMMENTS
It is hard to arrive at a result unless the horoscope of the
mother is not analysed, however, the afflicted Moon in the
4th and the 6th lord i.e. the 3rd lord from the 4th
representing her contacts be with Mars, arouse her
emotions towards other men. The Yoga seems to have depth.

sign, the Yoga results.
318: Should the 4th house be hemmed in between the
malefics or be afflicted and Mercury be in Aries, the Yoga is
formed.
RESULTS
The native will not be good at heart and will indulge in
hypocrisy.
Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology 167

COMMENTS
The 4th house rules the emotions which emerge from the
heart. When the 4th house factors are spoiled by the
malefics, the native is rendered affectionle.ss. If Mercury, the
planet of discriminating ability is in the 9th in an evil sign,
the native is of a dual character by birth. In reality he is not
what he pretends to be. He ably adapts according to the
demand of the situation: Mercury in Aries is greedy.
The chart here under is of a person who is a first rate
hypocrite and pretends as if he is the only real well wisher of
the person attending him. Mercury is in the 91h and his
dispositor Saturn is debilitated. Rahu resides in the 4th in
own sign. This man has been unreliable in his dealings and
has shown his greediness many times. He is a first rate hypocrite
and has amassed good amount of wealth on that account.

COMMENTS
The combinations can have many variations like a few
factors may be afflicted but the aspect of Jupiter may save
the native from being mischievous. The disposition of the
Lagna lord is also important otherwise the native may be

by Jupiter, the Yoga is formed. ·
RESULTS
The native will feel satisfied and contented, if Sukha
Yoga exists in his chart.
COMMENTS
There is no end to the lust and material ambitions. The
element of contentment and feeling satisfied is the trait of
benefic Jupiter. The 4th house and the 4th lord signify our
emotions and feelings. When the 4th lord is posited in a
quadrant along with Jupiter, an element of contentment
gets penetrated into the feelings and emotions and one feels
satisfied of his achievements. The same principle is
applicable to the factors of self and mind i.e. the Lagna lord
and the Moon sign lord, who signify our ambitions and
mental state.
The example chart No. I25 is of Swami Ram Tiratha ji
Maharaj. The Lagna lord Jupiter is in a Kendra. The Moon
sign lord and the Sun sign lord Venus is also in a quadrant
conjunct Jupiter. Therefore Sukha Yoga is present.

324: Should Mercury, Rahu and the Sun be in the 5th,
Mars be in the 4th and Saturn be in the 8th, the Yoga

325: Should Saturn be in the Lagna, Rahu be in the 8th
and Mars be in the 6th, the Yoga is constituted.
RESULTS
The native of tlie Yoga always remains melancholic,
sorrowful and brooding over his condition.
COMMENfS
If the 4th lord is afflicted by the malefics one suffers
from the element of greed generated by the malefics. One is
a psychologically distorted individual. One cannot think
rightly, for want of happy environment around. Mars and
the Sun in the 4th cause the brethren to be jealous and
fighting. Mercury, Rahu and the Sun in the 5th make one
estimate himself super intelligent and the lOth aspect of
Saturn from the 8th weaves a web of deception or self
illusion in this respect. Saturn in the Lagna and Rahu in
the 8th create vivid imaginations and the aspect of Mars
from the 6th over Saturn always keeps one suffer at the
hands of enemies and the native does not have courage to
defeat or resist his enemies. He resorts to such things like
black magic or some astral entity who could or take control
of his enemy. A few more combinations can be cited, viz;
'llW Wf . . a~s\iq<tRtf.l ~qoflsflt ~:~ 1

Should Mars and the Sun be debilitated or be in enemy's

COMMENTS
The configurations of the Yogas suggest becoming wealthy
effortlessly and leading a comfortable life.
ln ancient times
when there were no banks to keep the money and the
wealth was in the form of gold and jewels, people used to lay
down wealth under the earth as a security measure. Those
were the times when these Yogas were framed and,
therefore, involve the 4th house. In modern times these
Yogas manifest as gains from sale purchase of lands.

The 4th lord or his Navamsa lord going to the 6th house
indicates that one loses property due to the tricks of
enemies. This also indicates that this would happen, for one

COMMENTS
As per the Yoga 336 the 4th lord debilitated :In the 2nd
and afflicted by the malefics will not only desert the results
of the 4th house i.e. lands and estates but also harms the
significations of the 2nd house i.e. draining of assets and
wealth. The conclusion can be that the native will sell out
his estates and lose the wealth so gained due to his evil
deeds.
As per the Yoga 337 the 4th lord exalted will give gains
from lands and estates and afflictions to the 2nd lord will
make one a liar or using words in an ambiguous way.
Therefore, it indicates wealth by being a property agent.

DEFINITION
Should Mercury be .in the Lagna and the 4th lord, a
benefic be aspected by another benefic, the Yoga results.
RESULTS
The native will be honoured and respected by his
relatives.
COMMENTS
In this Yoga 4th lord is desired to be a benefic and
aspected by a benefic means that the individual will be
pious and a man of -character and integrity. Mercury in the
Lagna means that one will be using his analysing qualities
in bestowing love and affection to the people, who will be
grateful to him. A benefic as 4th lord can only be for Aries,
Gemini, Cancer, Sagittarius and Pisces Lagnas. Cancer and
Pisces are the watery signs displaying emotional
disposition. Aries is a go ahead sign having emotional heart.
Gemini is thoroughly analytical and discriminating in
choosing the right individual while Sagittarius displays the
benevolence of Jupiter.
The verse says:
~!If ~ ~!If <H{'Fbl<'!lt( I
If the 4th lord be in a quadrant in the Navamsa of a
benefic, one is a helping hand to his brethren.

one is highly emotional and benevolent in disposition.

lord be afllicted by Saturn and Rahu, Bandhubhi Tyakta Yoga
is formed and the native is not given honQur and respect by
his brethren; but they observe enemity towards him and are
always busy in deserting him. Rahu and Saturn inflict
separating influence on the significator or the lord of the house
they afflict. The same is the result when the 4th lord is in
the Vargas of Saturn. The Moon may be included in this
respect as she is the significator of masses in general and
the lord of the 4th house of the natural zodiac.

Saturn is the planet of scarcity or dissociation while


Rahu inflicts plot and conspiracy. When the two afflict the
4th lord or the Moon, the nears and dears are not happy
with the individual and are busy in framing conspiracies to
insult the individual and dissociate him from the family assets.
In this respect note the verse-

COMMENTS
Venus is Vahanakaraka because Venus is the planet of
luxuries and enjoyment. Dignified Venus being a strong 4th
house signific<ftel: adds to the comforts in the life of an
individual. Therefore, these two factors are deemed to be
strong. Venus with the 4th lord in the 1 lth house multiplies
income and hence acquisition of Vahana or conveyances.
Now a days almost every individual owns a conveyance.
Therefore, in city life the Yoga may be applicable to the
native having an-air-conditioned luxury car. While depicting
the results of a Yoga we have to keep in mind the status of
society the individual belongs to.

The strength of the 5th lord and the 5th house and the

ability to decipher the complex matters. The Lagna factors
should also be fairly strong. Mercurial signs in the Lagna

intellectuals. Mercury rules the intellect and the Moon, the
animal instinctive mind. However, the depth of wise

The 5th house is called the house of speculations when
the 5th lord or its Karaka occupies four times the same
Varga then he is in Gopurarnsa i.e. he is able to perceive
more precisely the coming events. Jupiter is the planet of
wisdom and has much to do with the intuitive faculty, either
developed by worshipping some deity or by developing one's
concentration. Some develop it by meditation. All these are
the channels for developing one's concentration which is
what the intuition means. If the planet in Gopuramsa is
aspected by the benefics then it is more conducive for
developing intuitive abilities.

COMMENTS
The 5th is the house representing emotions and
unconscious mind. Worshipping is vexy much related to
these two factors. If the planet in the 5th is happily placed,
the native feels pleasure in worshipping and if badly placed,
the native may not feel pleasure in worshipping though he
may be doing so, for fear of wrath of the heavens.
If the Sun is in the 5th. one worships the Sun or God
Shiva; if the Moon or Venus is in the 5th, .one worships a

unworthy. The worthy son will be able to earn enough by his
own merits while the disobedient and unworthy son will

should try to rear our sons to be cultured and worthy citizens.

Verses are only the indications how the Yogas or planets


situations should be interpreted. The interpreter's ability is
of foremost importance in deciphering the geometry of the
planets. In the Yoga. 5th lord is desired to be a benefic, even
if he happens to be ~ malefic but favourably disposed he is
good. Jupiter is a male planet and Karaka of the 9th house,
the fortunes. A worthy son is fortune while an unworthy is
misfortune. The Sun is the lord of the 5th house of the
zodiac and, therefore, cosmic lord of issues, if in male
Vargas and favourably disposed presents every propensity
of worthy male issues.
Example chart on page 186 is of a native who is blessed
with a worthy son. The Lagna lord Sun is in the 5th while the 5th
lord Jupiter is in the Lagna, both being friends, the native is
endowed with a worthy and obedient son. Jupiter and the

issues, elder is a son and younger is a daughter and both are
worthy.

DEFINITION
If there is a malefic in the 5th from the Lagna while Jupiter
is in the 5th from Saturn or vice versa, the Yoga exists.
RESULTS
The native will have only one son.
COMMENTS
In these days of planned family, civilised people want to
have less progeny and give more importance to their good
reartng. The Yoga was framed in olden times when the male
issue was important for the safety, security and means of
earning for the family. The son was also supposed to be
important in those times to perform last rituals of his
father. The male issue at that time was vital for survival of
the females in the family, who were to remain at home and
were not the working ladies.
The malefics in the 5th will make it hard to have a son
and Saturn, the planet of scarcity will give at least one son
if Jupiter is in the 5th from him.
For the chart of a woman, the verse:
";fi;l ~t ~ ~ ~ CfliCbCI~I!lli I
If the 5th lord be debilitated in the 6th, 7th or 8th house,
the lady delivers only once In her life time be It a live foetus

356: Should the beneftcs occupy the 4th and 6th houses
and the 5th lord be in deep exaltation joining the Lagna lord
and Jupiter be with another benefic, the Yoga is framed.
357: Should Jupiter be in deep exaltation, Rahu be with
the 2nd lord and the 9th house be occupied by its own lord,
the Yoga is formed.
RESULTS
In the above three Yogas the native will have several
sons. In the Yoga 355, the Dhana Karaka and Putra Karaka
Jupiter is desired in the 5th/9th, a Trikona; the 5th lord is
deemed to be powerful and a well placed 2nd lord is highly
appreciable for succession of parental family.
In the Yoga 356 sandwitched 5th house between the
benefics is a good angury for survival of male issues. The
other constituents of the Yoga are pointers towards an urge
to have a number of sons.
In the Yoga 357 Jupiter in deep exaltation is a good
augury for begetting sons. Rahu with the 2nd lord creates a
lust for a big and prosperous family. There is no
involvement of the 5th house factors in the Yoga, however,
the 9th house is desired to be occupied by its lord.
Therefore, we can infer, if the 9th house is strong, then also
one can have a number of sons.
COMMENfS

male issues, he is in own Navamsa Simha. and thus vexy
strong. We have also discovered that the strength of Sun is
essential to have male issues. Jupiter is in an odd sign

and Jupiter is also a:;;pected by Rahu (9th aspect). Kalatra-
karaka Venus in the 7th is aspected by Mars and the Moon
is also under the aspect of Saturn, These factors denote
some dysfunctioning with the ovaries and uterus of wife of
the individual. Also the 7th lord debilitated is indicative of ill
health to the wife due to hormonal disturbances.

367. KANYA PRAPTI YOGA(~~ cittr)


DEFINITION
Should there be even sign and even Navamsa on the
cusp of 5th house, female planets be in the 5th or aspect it;
the 5th lord be in even sign and even Navamsa conjunct or
aspected by female planets, the Yoga is given to arise.
RESULTS
The native with above configuration procreates only the
female progeny.
COMMENTS
The definition is simple and does not require elaboration,
however. the dispositions of the Sun and Jupiter are of
prime importance for having the female progeny. Should
both of them be strong in male signs and their dispositors
be in the male signs also, the above Yoga gets ,defunct.
Exalted Jupiter in the 5th gives only daughters.
Retrograde --!upiter in odd sign also gives only daughters
and the reverse also holds good. The malefics in the 5th
destroy the first male child but let the first daughter live
with unsound health.

If the 5th is occupied by Mercury, the Moon or Venus,


there will be birth of daughters only.
The example chart No. 140 is of a native who has two
daughters and what his wife aborted a few times were also
female foetuses. The 5th lord Mars is in Virgo Navamsa and
is aspected by retrograde Saturn. The 5th is occupied by
retrograde Jupiter. The Sun is in an even sign and Virgo
Navamsa and aspected by Saturn and Mars. Jupiter is in
Scorpio Navamsa. The 5th house is aspected by Venus.
The example chart No. 141 is of a person who also has
two daughters. After the birth of younger daughter the
couple observed contraceptive means to avoid any further
issue for a few years: After I 0 years of their marriage the
couple felt the need of a male issue, but did not get one due
to some trouble in the uterus of the female partner.
This native could have got a male issue from another
wife if the times would have permitted. Mercury is near to the
cusp of the 5th ifwe follow equal house division method. Jupiter
is in own odd sign and Aries Navamsa. The Sun is Vargottama.
There were chances of getting at least one son. Mercury
near the cusp of the 5th gave him two daughters initially.

368-369. GARBHAPATA YOGAS(~ <Ulf)


DEFINITION
368: If the 5th house is occupied by the malefics or
aspected by the malefics, the Yoga is formed.
369: As many malefic planets aspect the Navamsa lord
of the 5th cusp as many abortions will be there.
RESULTS
The wife of the native aborts according to the Yoga.
COMMENTS
The Yogas are simple to comprehend. However, see the
following verse--
~11tl:tils<6"1: ~ ~ 'ifffif •11ff¥fiG: I
If Saturn be in the 6th with the 6th lord and the Moon be in

If the Sun be in the Lagna, Saturn be in the 7th or the Sun

aspected by Jupiter, the native's wife will be unable to
conceive. The same result occurs if the 5th house is
sandwitched between Saturn and Mars.

370-371. PUTRA NASHA YOGAS ( '!3«.,1~1 'im)

combust, the Yoga is formed.
37 I: Should the Navamsa lords. of the 5th, 7th and 9th
lords be associated with the malefics, the Yoga is given to
arise.
RESUL'IS
The native will have the male issues born, but they will
not survive under influence of the Yoga.
COMMENTS
In the Yoga 370 both the houses of progeny get afflicted
by the malefics and the Karaka being combust in Saturn's
sign has no power to do good.
In the Yoga 371, the Navamsa lords of the vital house
lords are instrumental in manifestation of the Yoga.

the Yoga results.
198 Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology

RESULTS
The native will be endowed with a son after a long time,
by resorting to remedial measures.
COMMENTS
The less fertile signs are Taurus, Leo, Virgo and Scorpio.
When the Sun occupies one of these signs his reproductive
ability gets hampered. Saturn aspects the 2nd and 5th
house from the 8th, therefore, limits the family and delays
progeny. Mars in the Lagna being in the 6th from Saturn is
a negating factor for obtainment of progeny.
Saturn in the Lagna or in the 6th from Jupiter also
hampers the procreative ability while Mars in the 12th is
not good for health of wife.
The following verses are worth noting-
(IM'IfU: wPJT: mffi: @4)@01GI: I
If the Sun, Rahu and Mars are in the 5th, one gets progenial
happiness after resorting to several remedial measures.

some reasoning.

37 4. JARA PUTRA YOGA ( \ifR' ~ <im)


DEFINITION
Should in a male nativity the lords of the 2nd and 5th
houses be weak and the malefic planets be aspecting the
5th, he will have no children inspite of having several wives
and should his one wife be born with a Yoga for son and her
5th house be aspected by a benefic planet or by the 6th lord
from the 5th house, the Yoga is given to arise.
RESULTS
One wife of the native will have a son from her
paramour.
Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology 199

COMMENTS
When the husband does not have Yogas for male
progeny or be unable to procreate a successor for his family,
but one of his wives or his wife in modern times has the Yoga
for a son in her chart, she wiil have it from her paramour, if
Yogas for adultery are also present in her chart.
Jataka Parijata (14/ 16) denotes:

If the lords of the 7th and 5th houses being strong, be
conjunct or aspected by the 6th lord, his wife will give birth
to a son, conceived from her paramour. The husband will be
childless in spite of having many wives.
The same view is expressed in the following Sloka of
Jataka Parijata (13/15)-

These Yogas need to be applied carefully determining the
chastity factor of the wife. The Yoga declares the native to be
having other wives also, but why not other wives having a son
the same way. This will be the wife who will have a strong Yoga
for a son in her chart irrespective of the way it comes to her.
375. VIPRA SHAPAD VIPUTRA YOGA
( imT ~1141({_ ~ ~)
DEFINITION
Should Jupiter be conjunct with or aspected by the
malefic planets, the Yoga is said to arise.
RESULTS
The native will be denied or lose issues due to the curse
of Brahmins.
200 Yogas-The MaiVels of Hindu Astrology

COMMENTS
Jupiter is the Karaka of God's grace and that grace
comes to the native through the Brahmins. Here Brahmins
should not be taken for a particular caste, but the people
who are pious and are engaged in the welfare of mankind. If
Jupiter is not the lord of the 5th, the Yoga is doubtful. The
Yoga is specific particularly for Scorpio Lagna where the 2nd
and 5th are owned by Jupiter.
Jataka Parijata also denotes:
qJqij~OJ ~ ~~:tiNI~ ~: I
The deity's curse is the cause of being with out a son, if
Jupiter in the 5th is-aspected by the malefics. Here Jupiter
in the 5th signifies the worshipped deity.

( ~~~Ci ~lqiC(_ ~ ~)
DEFINITION
Should the 6th from Saturn be aspected by the Moon,
the Sun or Mercury and the Lagna be aspected by a malefic,
the Yoga is given to arise.
RESULTS
The native is denied or loses son due to the curse of
family deity (KULA DEVfA).
COMMENTS
It was a custom before the advent of modern science to
ascribe the safety of the family tree to some family deity. It
was believed that the curse of family deity could stop the
growth of family tree by rendering one childless. This has
been found to be true when the couple got a child after
propitiation, even though they were medically fit to
procreate during the long period before propitiation.
The verse also denotes the same:
~ ~ ~ <IT q1q~ffs(il '@!~~~fill<( ~: I
Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology 201

If the Sun being in Saturn's sign be in evil Vargas or be


aspected by an evil planet, the family deity's curse is the
cause of childlessness.

DEFINITION
If a malefic be in the 4th, the 5th lord be conjunct
Saturn and a malefic be posited in the Btb or 12th house,
the Yoga gets generated.
RESUL'IS
The native will incur loss or denial of male issues due to
disobedience to or curse of his mother.
COMMEN'IS
Mother endows the supreme relationship to the native
and disobedience to her is the greatest folly. The 4th
represents mother, the 5th her speech and the 8th and 12th
are the houses of progeny for the 4th house. Any affliction
to these will result in harm to her son on her own account.

The native will be bereft of male issues due to some
offence commited against father or preceptor.
COMMEN'IS
The source house, the 9th house is afflicted which
signifies father or preceptor. Mandl the dire malefic is also
desired in a Trikona to add oil to the fire. The conjunction of
the 5th lord with Saturn denies or delays its significations.

suffered afflictions.

379: Should Rahu in the 5th be aspected by Mars, the
Yoga is given to arise.
380: Should the Karaka of the 5th Jupiter be with Mars,
Rahu be conjunct the Lagna lord and the 5th lord be
occupying the 6th, 8th or 12th house, the Yoga exists.
381: Should Mars be the 5th lord, the 5th house be
occupied by Rahu and be unaspected by the benefic
planets, the Yoga is formed.
RESULTS
The native will lose or be denied son due to the curse of
serpent.
COMMENTS
Rahu is called Sarpa and when associated with the 5th
house significator definetly causes some or the other
disorder to the foetus or infant, related to some poisonous
element that may cause its extinction before or after the
birth. In severity of afflictions it may not even let for any
conception.
For want of space we have refrained ourselves from long
discussion and have stuck to the theme behind the Yoga.
The aspects or inclusion of Mars in the Yogas is another
factor in particular for the loss of son.

(~ ~IIQIC( ~ iflT)
DEFINITION
When Jupiter, the 5th lord, the 7th lord and Mars are
together, the Yoga is formed.
RESULTS
The native will incur loss of sons and daughters, due to
troubles from evil deities.
COMMENTS
Mars stands for evil deities and is afflicting the Karaka
Jupiter and the 5th lord; the inclusion of the 7th lord
indicates that the wife is seized by some evil deity which is
the cause of loss of sons and daughters. The native is also
haunted by the same evil deity and hence loss of progeny.

RESULTS
The native does not have a son to advance his family
lineage.
COMMENTS
These Yogas should not be applied verbatim. The
position of Jupiter and the Sun are also important. In the
204 Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology

Yogas the malefics in the 4th make one be of questionable


character and the one frequenting brothels. In consequence
one acquires some V.D. and hence poor sperm quality.
The malefics in the 12th are also some what similar in
the results. The 12th house is the 8th house from the 5th
house and a quadrant from the 9th house which is also a
significator of ma1e progeny. Any malefic in the 12th will
influence the 5th and the-9th houses.
Any malefic in the 8th house will affect the Lagna, will be
in a quadrant from the 5th, will be in 12th from the 9th and
will affect the spermatogenesis, for being in the house
representing testicle_s from the Lagna.
The conjunction of Mercury and Venus in the 7th
induces great nervous excitement and premature
ejaculation even before penetration during coitous . The evil
. planet in the 4th adds to unnatural fantasies about sex.
Jupiter in the 5th adds to the imagination and fantasies
about sex partner. Such a native may be more prone to
mental sexual urge and satisfaction than physical one.
About extinction of the family tree Jataka Parijata says:

These Yogas have been found functional in actual

the native is able to control his enemies.
A few more Yogas will be of interest to our readers-

becomes enemy.
If the 4th and 11th lords keep enmity with the Lagna

If the powerless 6th lord be aspected by the malefics or
be hemmed in between the malefics, the Yoga for sufferings
at the hands of one's kins men exists.
The above Yogas illustrate that the 6th lord should be
strong, for one to be safe from the sufferings through
enemy.A weak or afflicted 6th lord gives rise to more
propensity for sufferings through enemies. But the 6th lord
should not be stronger than the Lagna lord otherwise the
native himself gets defeated in the duel with the enemy.

afflicting the Lagna lord and the Sun. The Lagna and 6th
lords are in the Lagna. Therefore, his own son became his

If the planet in the 6th or the owner thereof be in an
inimical or debilitation sign, retrograde or combust, the
native will have many kins men from his father's side; and
his body will be covered with many sores. If any one of the
planet from the Sun onwards occupies the 6th house, the
p!'!rson will be continually annoyed by the foe of the class of
people represented . by the house of which the planet
occupying the 6th house is Karaka.
The first part perhaps means that sores will be inflicted
to the native due to enmity with the father's kinsmen.

DEFINIDON
Should the 5th lord be in the 6th, 8th or 12th house
aspected by the Lagna lord or Mars and Rahu, the Yoga is
said to arise.
RESULTS
The native will be a back biter of his father and will bring
bad names to him.
COMMENTS
It is like hell when a son turns antagonistic to his father
and this state is more dangerous than disobedience. Mars
and Rahu are first rate back biters and when the 5th lord in
Trika is aspected by these two, the Yoga is certain.
The horoscope No. 147 is of a doctor who married a
widow doctor having two sons from her deceased husband.
The Yoga is partially present here because the 5th lord has
not gone to a Trika house, but is with Rahu and aspected by
Mars. He brought bad names to his father in his community
by this marriage.
Jataka Parijata (13/73) says-
~ ~ ~"'1"MC6IN1 ;fi'<ufi~ ~

If the Sun occupying the 6th house identical with his
debilitation or enemy sign without strength be inimical to
the Lagna lord as well, the native associates with his
father's enemy. The reverse also holds.

397. APASMARA YOGA ( a:t4:t:&IH Utr cWT)


DEFIN1TION
Should the Moon as the 4th lord be in the 6th, 8th or
12th house in conjunction With Rahu without any benefic
aspects, the Yoga exists.
RESULTS
The native will be attacked by epileP.tiC fits frequently.
COMMENTS
Epilepsy is the disease largely related with the emotions.
Whenever one is emotionally upset one gets an attack,
thereby falling unconscious and frothing from the mouth.
One feels extreme weakness after the fit is over. Medical men
try to find the cause by E. E.G and cat-scan, if any abnormality
is there in the nervous system or some portion of the brain.
If none is there then they treat for settling down emotions
and tranquilizing the strained nervous system.
Mental diseases are the results of our desires, anger,
apprehensions, fears and sorrows. The 5th house, the
Moon, Mercury, the 3rd and the 8th house are to be judged
for the same. The verse says- ·

The chart No. 150 is of a sufferer from epilepsy. The 4th
lord Moon is in the 12th house (a watery sign) aspected by
Mars from a fiery sign and Saturn from an airy sign. The
aspect of fiery Mars keeps the emotions volatile. The Moon
is also the dispositor of Ketu. Thus there are enough
reasons for epilepsy.

DEFINITION
398: Should Jupiter be in the Lagna and Mars be in the
7th or vice-versa.
399: The weak Moon and Saturn be in the 12th house.
400: The Moon and the Sun in the Lagna be aspected by
Mercury.
401: The Mars in the 3rd be with Ketu and the Sun and
Jupiter be aspected by Saturn. These four Yogas result as
Unmaada Yoga.
RESULTS
The native becomes mentally and emotionally impaired
and is unable to rationalise the facts.
COMMENTS
There are many varieties, one may be a maniac, a
scheizophrenic or suffering from endogenous depression or
afflicted by a bipolar form of depression.
In many of these forms' we have found the 2nd lord or
Jupiter (Dhana Karaka) involved i.e. the root cause is monetary
lust or imbalances. Due to continuous financial stresses the
mind and rationalising part of it has to be constantly active
and then results in an imbalance of mind vitalising
chemicals in the brain and the result is such conditions.
220 Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology

With the advent of city life and so called advancement the


lust of material comforts have increased and the individual
is involved in earning money at any cost, finding new methods
to empty other's pockets. All this is a strenuous mental
exercise leaving no space for mental rest, material satisfaction
and the result is a great rush at psychiatric clinics.
The mental factors are the Lagna and Lagna lord, Mercury,
the 5th house and 5th lord, the 4th house and 4th lord, and
the Moon. All mental diseases arise out of morbid mental,
emotional and analytical faculties of mind as discussed earlier.
The following Slokas are illustrative-

The La.gna, the Moon and the 4th house are the

If the Lagna be Gemini and the Moon, Mercury and

native will become insane. Mercury is the lord of Lagna and
4th; the Moon is debilitated there and the 5th lord Venus is
also there, further rendered weak by the aspect of Saturn.

If Jupiter occupies the Lagna and Saturn be in the 7th,
the person suffers from windy complaints and rheumatism.
If Jupiter is in the Lagna and Mars in the 7th, the man will
be insane.
Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology 221

If Saturn be in the Lagna and Mars occupies the 9th, 5th


or the 7th house, the effect will be the same. If the waning
Moon in conjunction with Saturn occupies the 12th house,
the man suffers similarly.
In the first case the man becomes insane due to check
on his expansionist tendency and the resultant mounting
pressure on the brain. The second case is of authoritative
attitudes and any check on it causes insanity. In the third
case evil planets are occupying the houses related to the
analytical faculties. In the 4th case the man is not able to
express himself emotionally and insanity is the result of
suppressed emotions. Western Astrologers also opine that
the malefics should not be placed in the Lagna, the 5th and
9th house.
Brihat Jataka (23/2) also opines-

«)q~qqug(it «U!!Gll't4 '1li'1N<t~d: II
If the Moon is rising in the Lagna in conjunction with Rahu
along with malefics in the 5th and 9th, the person born will
be troubled by goblins or devils. If the Sun be rising in the
Lagna and be placed in Parivesha, the man is sure to be
born stone blind.
According to modern medicine obsession by the goblins
or deVils is also a mental aberration, but we have seen
persons being cured by performing cer:.tain offerings (Bali)
according to the nature and characteristics of the seizing
devil or deity. Unmada or insanity may as well seize the
native through Tantrtc Abhichara or black magic by the
enemies or due to the curse of preceptors, elders or great
men. According to Prasna Marga these have to be
ascertained by the planets occupying the 6th or aspecting it
or its lord, the 6th house and 6th lord.
The 8th house and its lord have an equally important
role here and any relation between the 6th and 8th house
factors confirms the disease. Prasna Marga declares four
type of Unmadas.
1. Vatonmaada: This is caused by excitation of humour
wind, the individual who suffers laughs, claps, speaks
222 Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology

loudly, dances around, bitterly cries, his body becomes


emaciated, rough and copper coloured and motion of the
hands and legs is continuous. Aggravations of the
symptoms appear after digestion of the consumed food.
2. Kaphonmaada: This is caused by excitation of
humour phlegm and the individual is averse to every thing,
seeks solitude and company of women, remains awaken
most of the time. finger nails turn pale and white due to low
circulation arising out of fear and apprehension; the native
sobs and saliva trickles down of his mouth.
3. Pittonmaada: This is caused by the excitation of
humour bile and the person is furious all the time.
revengeful, hates all opposition, abusive, very angry, much
thirsty and hungry; his body turns pale, hot and/or extremely
red and there is longing for intoxicants in some cases.
4. Sannipatonmaada: This is caused by the excitation of
all the three humours (wind, phlegm and bile) and the
native exhibits the symptoms of all the three humours and
it takes very very long time for recovery. Sometimes it sticks
to the native through out life although aggravations and
ameliorations appear according to the transiting planets
and medicines suggested. Bipolar depression of modern
psychiatry is of this variety. ·The earlier three varieties are
said to be curable by medicines arid offerings, while the 4th
type requires a specialised medical treatment and Graha
Shanti by Japa, Homa, Tarpana and Bali. ·
The Moon, Saturn and Rahu; Mercury. Saturn and Rahu;
the Moon, Mars and Rahu and Mercury, Mars and Rahu are
bad combinations particularly in the signs Aries, Scorpio
and Sagittarius and in constellations of Mars and Saturn.
The houses. Navamsas and aspects to the combination have
their own significance. Rahu has more to do with the
emotional and mental aspect and is capable of great mischief,
however, its combination with the Moon in a soft constellation
is capable of bestowing higher intuitive powers.
The example chart No. 154 on page 223 is of a native
who got insane due to loose morals of his wife. A mental
sign Gemini rises and Mercury conjuncts the 6th lord Mars
Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology 223

in the 6th house. The 7th lord Jupiter is debilitated in the


8th, conjunct with Venus and Ketu and aspected by Rahu.
The Moon, dispositor of Rahu is aspected by Saturn. There
is also a square aspect of Western Astrology among the
planets in cardinal signs i.e. the Moon, Rahu, Saturn,
Venus, Ketu and Jupiter (the ·7th lord).

The Yoga of Mars, Saturn and Rabu is applicable in

If Mercury (the Karaka of skin) be the Lagna lord or the

under the malefic influences of Saturn and Rahu, one
suffers from Leprosy.
This disease is of two types-One is anaesthetic and the
other one is nodular which is more dangerous and
contagious. In anaesthetic type the patched part (pale or
pink) is sensationless, unable to sense pricking or piercing.
In the nodular type the skin gets thickened at places and
forms ridges.

DEFINITION
404: Should the 4th lord conjunct the 12th lord be
posited in the 6th, 8th or 12th house or debilitated or in
enemy sign or in combustion, the Yoga exists.
405: Should there be a malefic in the 4th house and its
lord be conjunct with a malefic or be sandwitched between
the malefics, the Yoga is given to arise.
RESULTS
The native will be suffering from heart ailments.
COMMENTS
In the above two Yogas emphasis has been laid on the
afflictions of the 4th house factors i.e. emotional element.
The heart disease developes because of day to day worries
and emotional set backs which cause the disturbances of
blood pressure and the resulting heart ailments. These
Yogas were framed in ancient time conditions.
In modern times excess of luxuries, labour free life
pattern, rich diet, obesity and worries emanating out of the
practical responsibilities are the major causes which strain
the nervous system and the heart.
228 Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology

The heart is governed by the sign Leo, the Sun and the
5th house. All fixed signs are related to the practical aspects
of life and fall in quadrants to Leo. The malefics in the fixed
signs increase probability for the heart disease. If the luminaries
and the 6th and 8th house lords also occupy the fixed signs,
there is grave danger of acquiring the heart ailments.
The example chart given below is of a lady who is a
graduate in occupational therapy and was married to a
doctor. She was divorced on the ground that there was risk
in conceiving due to some heart ailment.
The sign Leo is in the Lagna, a fixed stgn. The Lagna lord
Sun is tn the fixed stgn Aquarius and debilitated in
Navamsa. Mercury iii the 6th is heavily afflicted by Rahu,
Mars and Saturn. Pluto and Uranus are posited in the
Lagna. The Lady is of irritable temperament and her heart
beat rises abnormally at times. Perhaps this was the cause
that she was warned against conceiving.

According to Western Astrology afflictions to the Sun,


Leo and the 5th house are the primary factors for the heart
disease. The malefics on the 5th cusp or in opposition are
conducive for this disease. Mars in the 5th causes damage
from strain; Saturn affects the valves; Uranus brings
nervous disorders of the heart; Jupiter sudden dilation and
Neptune affects through smoking and drug abuse. Fatty
degeneration is due to afflicted Jupiter.

house or Navamsa, the Yoga is caused.

RESULTS
The native will suffer from tuberculosis.
COMMENTs
Tuberculosis is the disease which is called a Raja Raga
in Hindu system of medicine and Hindus were well aware of
the disease since time immemorial. It is said that the
dis~ase is the result of previous birth's bad deeds. Perhaps
it was said so because it was incurable at that time for the
common men, though the Hindu physician used to cure the
patients by the use of medicated Bhasmas of gold and silver.
These two metals are known to be strongest germicides and
are used in ornaments owing to this property.
In Hindu medicinal system impetus is on the total health
i.e. the healthy mind and healthy body keep the diseases
away. The physical immunity is strengthened by the healthy
mind. Disease usually catch hold of people who are greatly
stressed mentally as well as physically. The environmental
and climatic conditions have much to do with the development
of the disease. The great mathematician Sri Niwas Ramanujam
230 Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology

is an example who got the disease due to cold conditions of


England and strenuous mental and physical labour.
The doctrine of Karma is of prime significance, what
planetary position at birth we are born with is the result of
previous Karmas for which we are to function and suffer in
this birth. A person not destined to acquire the disease will
not acquire even though he may be working amidst the
tuberculous patients. His body system is so developed that
he is immune to consumption.
Saturn, Mars, Rahu and Ketu are punishing agencies of
the cosmos and weakness of the two luminaries, Mercury,
Jupiter and Venus indicate deficient forces of fortunes or destiny.
When these weak fortunes are afflicted by these punishing
agencies one has to pay for or reap the fruits of previous bad
Karmas. The Yogas for health and disease are just the
indications of our good and bad Karmas of previous births.
Maharishi Parasara's three Lagnas i.e. the birth Lagna,
the Moon sign and the Sun sign are the life forces and every
good and bad happening of life emanates from the three charts.
Medical men declare to have controlled the tuberculosis
but it was true sometime back. With the advent of globlisation,
the cities are being flooded by the influx of people in search
of jobs. The cities have become concrete jungles and people
live in small apartments without any ventilation and
sunlight. The tubercular bacilus have found a den in such
dark and moist apartments; moreover it has gained
immunity against the treatment available now. The drugs
now have to be administered for a longer period. Now this
condition has arisen out of the lust to earn more money to
maintain the so-called standard of living. The human race is
sinking deep and deep into the ocean of greed day by day
forgetting all the norms laid down by our ancients for
leading a happy and contented life. Tuberculosis is on the
increase day by day again.
Tuberculosis has many varieties and affect different
parts of the body having different names. It affects cavities
of the body like the lungs, uterus etc when the Moon is
afflicted as is in the Yoga. When Jupiter and Saturn are in
Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology 231

the 6th or 8th, it is the liver, pancreas or the portion having


much flesh is affected. ·

the person concerned will suffer from pleurisy. tuberculosis,
bronchitis, scrofula or asthma (diseases ~f chest). If the Sun

will have long standing disease and will be a weakling.
In the first part ofthe Sloka, if the Moon be in the Lagna,
the man will suffer from pleurisy. If the Moon be in the 4th

9. A very weak or debilitated Moon in a watery sign

The Yogas need to be applied very carefully noting the
constitution, living standard and family history of an
individual. Individuals having excess of humour, wind and
phlegm provide feitile ground for the infestation of
tubercular bacilus. The other conducive conditions are the
placement of the Moon and Venus in the watery signs

The Trika houses are the seats of troubles and
complications and the planets therein do behave in that
manner. Mars is usually responsible for infections and
inflammations; Saturn for malignancy, chronicity and for
prolonging illness. while Rahu and Ketu also produce
malignancy and various other complications of undiagnosed
nature. Rahu creates a fear complex in the native and Ketu,
the gloom and despondency.

C.E.O. Carter writes about the pulmonary consumption


that the disease is mainly concerned ·with the mutab.le
signs; the 12th house and its lord. The most sensitive
degrees are those close to 28° mutables and 27° Aries-Libra
(more rarely 27° Cancer-Capricorn). If the mutable signs
and 12th house are prominent, and a strong malefic aspect
is found involving one of these areas, a consumptive
tendency must be feared. He further writes, out of 28 cases
I found Cancer, the commonest ascendant, while Aries,
Capricorn and Pisces do not occur, Mercury-Neptune
aspects are common.
Afflictions to the earlier parts of mutable signs, may
sometimes occasion consumption, but less frequently, and
perhaps with less rapid and destructive action.

COMMENTS
The disease resembles with consumption and sometimes
occurs due to the infection caused by tubercular bacillus.

DEFINITION

RESULTS
The native will suffer from breathlessness.
COMMENTS
Basically asthma occurs from constrtction of the lower
respiratory tract, therefore comes under the domain of
Gemini and Mercury. There may be Saturnian afflictions to
the 3rd house. The chart of a lady discussed under Kshaya
Raga Yoga with Gemini Lagna is a good example of it.
However, we would like to present few more Yogas for the
interest of our readers-
(a) The Lagna be a watery sign and its lord be posited in
a Trtka house.
(b) Saturn afflicting the 4th house.
(c) Mars and Saturn in a watery sign in the Lagna.
236 Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology

Chronic sufferers of sinusitis where exudations fall


inside causing inflammation of respiratory tract, have more
chances of getting the disease. That is why watery signs
have been mentioned again and again.
There is another variety called Bronchitis which is
essentially the inflammation of the bronchi, usually results
from the afflictions of Taurus and Scorpio (reflex action).
The Hindu astrological writers base the occurance of
bronchitis to the watery Lagnas, the Sun and Moon
occupying watery signs and afflictions to the 4th house.
Occasional bronchitis occurs when the Sun or the Moon
transits through a watery sign and gets afflicted there.
If Mars occupies the Lagna and is aspected by Saturn,
the native is a chronic sufferer of bronchitis.

41(}-412. SOOIA ROGA YOGAS (~WI cWT)


DEFINITION
410: Should Saturn and Mars be in the 6th and I 2th.
411: Should Venus be in Leo in a quadrant/trine and
Jupiter be in the 3rd.
412: Should the afflicted Moon be in Leo, the Yoga exists
RESULTS
The native will suffer from abdominal colic.
COMMENTS
The Yogas are very general, however, in the Yoga 410 the
colic may be due to defective peristalic movement of
intestines. In the 2nd case it will be biliary colic or due to
Kidney disturbances. Afflicted Moon in Leo produces colic
due to indiscriminate eating.
Jupiter governs bile production whenever he is afflicted
there may be pains due to gall stones, particularly so when
the Sun (governing Jatharagm1 is also afflicted.
Liver and pancreas fall under the domain of Jupiter and
the 5th house. Infantile cirrhosis of liver is the disease that
occurs to the under nourished children and the kids look
weak and pale. The disease occurs when Saturn and
Jupiter combine in the 5th. Jupiter is the planet of
prosperity and good living; whenever he is checked by
Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology 237

Saturn, the native is under nourished. Similarly afflictions


to the 5th house and the 5th lord cause the malfunctioning
of these two' main organs due to under nourishment.
Rahu in the 5th causes ulceration in the stomach or
small intestines due to excess of hydrochloric acid in the
stomach. This stinge of Rahu is tempered by the association
or aspect of Jupiter. Mars represents bile and afflicted in the
5th is a great mischief maker, but is not harmful in his own
signs and tempered with the association and aspect of
Jupiter. Ketu in the 5th causes ulceration due to mental
wony. However, the native resorts to Yogic practices and
other such traditional means to controlacidity, if Ketu is
influenced by Jupiter. Saturn by all means produces
chronicity of the complaint and is more related to the cancer
of the stomach ifin the sign Cancer in the 5th and the Moon
is also afflicted and there is no relieving aspect of Jupiter.
This tendency is thwarted if the Sun is in Leo or Mars is
there. Gluttony is the result if the Sun and Jupiter are
associated in the 5th house and the remnants of this
tendency are still present if both in association are present
in any other house. The waning Moon afflicted in the 5th
causes decline in the production of gastric juice and such a
native is fond of delicious and spicy dishes. Mercury and
Venus show sterility by the occupation or aspect over the
5th house. The presence or aspect of the Sun or Mars
enhances the digestion provided they aFe neither afflicted
nor debilitated.
About the Gulma Roga, the verse denotes-
Cb<bF~qcj~ ~ ~ ~il·•= I
if the Moon conjunct with Saturn falls in Cancer, Scorpio
or Aquarius Navamsa, one has stomach pains due to impaired
digestion. In Gulma Roga a ball of wind is felt to be moving
around in the stomach due to defects of spleen and liver.
The verse mentions-
q;)-~ err ml e"!l~ 0 fi I
If Saturn and Rahu are in the 2nd, one suffers from
Sangrahani. When intestines get weakened after diarrhoea
or dysentry and are unable to absorb nutrients during the
238 Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology

process of digestion and expunge the food consumed in


liquid form again and again is called Sangrahani.
The verse says:
~ ~ ~ ~ \iiRit~l<<l•r: r
The man suffers of diarrhoea if the Lagna be occupied by
Rahu and Mercury and the 7th by Saturn and Mars.
The following chart is of a government servant who is a
chronic sufferer of stomach ailments and complains· of gas
and belching of stomach. The configuration of planets is an
interesting one. The 5th lord Mars is with Ketu. Saturn is
aspecting Jupiter placed in the 8th indicating that
involvement of liver-is there. The Sun is aspected by Saturn
from Leo which impairs the digesting ability. The native
sticks to Yogic practices to keep himself fit. He likes spicy
food and his apprehensive nature further adds to his
worries in this respect.
C.E.O Carter says 'Indigestion covers very wide range of

assimilative irregularities, but as a general rule it is


probable that astrologers would look to the Moon and
Cancer to find a clue to the state of digestion. I consider that
Mercury and Virgo should receive no less attention, for it
seems that the rarige of Virgo, and of Cancer overlaps
considerably, planets afflicted in or from VIrgo, especially if
Mercury be involved, points to digestive trouble of one kind
or the other. Pisces sometimes occurs by polarity.'
Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology 239

He further states that Saturn in Cancer rarely fails to


weaken the digestion, Mars there causes painful complaints
while Uranus affects the gastric nexves. Pluto in the 5th
seems to be instrumental in peptic ulcers.
These statements are nearer to the theories of 'the
modern medicine which treats the disease for its current
symptoms than treating the patient as a whole which the
ancient Hindu medicinal system does. ·
Appendicitis was a dreadful disease when the surgery
was not advanced in modern medicine. However, the
surgeons like Sushruta of Hindu medicinal system were
capable in thts respect.
Afflictions to Virgo and Scorpio by Mars, Saturn and
Rahu and Yogas for constipation do indicate appendicitis in
the concerned planet's Dasas and Bhuktis or transits.
Carter says "This trouble occurs readily where there are
Virgo and Scorpio in affliction. I 8° of Taurus-Scorpio, 3° of
the mutables and also 22° of the same as well also 22° Leo-
Aquarius are the most sensitive degrees. Uranus is a
common afflictor. In 50 percent of the cases Mercury has
been found in the decanate ofthe mutable signs. It is nearly
always in major bad aspect to one or more of the maleftcs".

DEFINITION
Should the Moon be the lord of the 6th house and be
aspected by or associated with the maleflcs, the Yoga exists.
RESULTS
The native will suffer from enlarged spleen.
COMMENTS
Spleen is an organ related with the defence mechanism
of our body system. It enlarges when toxins tend to get
accumulated in our body i.e. it enlarges by traping those
toxins thus saving other vital organs from damage. It also
enlarges after the suppressed malaria.

If the Moon be between the Sun and Mars, the Sun be in
the sign Capricorn, one suffers from diseases of spleen and
asthma.
In both the Yogas the emphasis is on the afflictions of
the Moon. The Moon gets weakened when she is in the
adjacent house to the Sun. The Sun gets maleficence when
in Capricorn.
The breathlessness is a secondary symptom coming
from pressure of the enlarged spleen on the lungs.

DEFINITION

415: Should Jupiter and the Lagna lord together be in
the 6th, 8th or 12th house, the Yoga is said to be formed.
Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology 241

RESULTS
The native will suffer from biliousness.
COMMENTS
When Mercury with the Lagna lord is in a Trika there is
disturbance in the intestines and when Jupiter with the
Lagna lord is in a Trika then one suffers from amoebic
dysent:ry. In both the cases the liver has to pour more bile
into the stomach to wipe out the infection, hence
biliousness.
Carter says 'Biliousness whether chronic or acute may
be related chiefly to the planet Jupiter an(f in no small
measure to Neptune, which appear to be' closely connected
with the liver. Both Sagittarius and Pisces· are often prone to
liver complaints, but the former being more active is
probably less prone of the two.
Venus and signs of Venus particularly Taurus is
prominent in the horoscopes of bilious subjects, but on the
whole the afflictions between one or both the Lights and
Jupiter, which is apt, at least during the progress of the
attack, to appear singularly unlike the "greater benefic" '.
From the above discussion Jupiter emerges as a
commoQ. planet that is afflicted in the two systems of
prognostication i.e. Hindu System and the Western system.

living and no work and less nutritional diet. In the Yoga 416
the native tends to be corpulent due to fascination for over-
eating and enjoying comforts of life. The aspect of Saturn
damages his liver function (Jupiter) and the resulting
disease is Vaata Raga. ln the Yoga 417. the body is taxed
with over-work, the tissues and bones do not get enough
nutrients for repair and the skin looks dry and wrinkled and
the decaying tissues and bones pain under strain. In the
Yoga 416 the skin is shiny and swollen and the disease is
probably called rheumatoid arthritis while in the Yoga 417 it
is possibly osteo-arthritis.
The verse says:

If the Moon is with Saturn in the 12th, the body suffers
from excess of wind in the system. Here the body
metabolism is windy. This combination produces restlessness,
uneasiness, sleeplessness and roughness of skin.
Western Astrologers opine that this is a typical
Saturnian malady, representing the action of afflictive
Saturn. When the planets, which as a rule, endeavour to
combat the action, by causing a fever and so eliminating or
removing obstruction, are unable to perform their function.
The native of the following chart has developed pains in
the body particularly pain in the swollen knees. The native

degrees ofTaurus and Scorpio and also about 14th degrees
are the points of greatest concentration. Sometimes these
are not occupied but are in square aspect from Leo and
Aquarius. The ruler of the 2nd is usually afflicted by Mars
or Saturn or is afflicted from one of their signs."
The point of interest in the above statements of Mr. Carter
for the students of Hindu Astrology would be that first five
degrees of Taurus fall in the Navamsas of Capricorn and
Aquarius. The 14th degree ofTaurus falls in Taurus Navamsa
while the 14th degree of Scorpio falls in Scorpio Navamsa.
These facts reveal that the heavens do not discriminate
for the system of prognostication adhered to.

Piles is of two types-one is bleeding and the other dry
one. Saturn causes Vaata and dry piles is primarily a windy
disorder where the internal skin or orificial skin of anus
protrudes in small ball like forms causing irritation, buring
and uneasiness in the region. When Mars and the Sun come
into picture these ball like formations bleed while passing
stool. There is much wind formation in the intestines and

COMMENTS
In our Yoga the disease is the result ofVaata-Pitta Dosha

DEFINITION
If the Moon occupies a watery sign, the Moon Sign lord
be in the 6th aspected by Mercury from a watery sign, the
Yoga is said to be caused.
RESULTS
The native will feel burning, pain and difficulty during
mictruition.
COMMENTS
This difficulty arises out of urinary tract infection,
prostatitis or urinary calculi. All the maleftcs in the 6th and
7th houses also cause striCture of urethra. Exchange of the
7th and 8th or the 6th and 8th lords also causes the same trouble.
Syphilis and gonorrhoea also cause pain and stricture.
Acute Nephritis (inflammation of Kidneys) also cause
burning micrutition. Acidity and biliousness also cause burning
micruition. Mucous mixed stools also cause this problem.
Nephritis results when the Sun, Saturn and Venus
together occupy the 5th house or Mars in the IQth conjoins or
is aspected by Saturn.

429. YONA ROGA YOGA (~--@Term)


DEFINITION
It Rahu, Saturn and the Moon are conjoined, the Yoga
exists.
RESULTS
The-native feels frigid or impotent.
COMMENTS
Whenever Rahu, Saturn or Ketu singly or combined
influence the Moon, the Lagna or its lord or Mars, one is a
victi~ of certain phobias and is apprehensive about his
abilities for sex play. One may have some physical difficulty
for it, if the 8th house is hemined between Rahu and Saturn
and its lord goes to the 6th house. With the Yoga mentioned,
the female has certain inhibitions and fear of coitus.
Yo gas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology 253

The 8th house of the horoscope signifies the size of sexual


organ and the 7tn house the ability, power and habit pattern
for the sex. Rahu in the 7tn and Saturn in the 8tn give a long,
lean, lanky and flaccid sex organ. the flaccidity increases if
the Moon also joins one of the two houses or the 6th house.
If Mercury is aspected or conjoins Saturn, nervous
exhaustion can be the cause of impotence. This is followed
by extreme sexual excitement if Ketu is in the 7th and
Mercury in the 8th. ·
Extreme sexual excietement is shown by Venus, Mars or
the Sun in the 7th or 8th especially when they conjoin
Mercury or the Moon in these houses ..
C.E.O. Carter says" Sexual impotence would form an
interesting astrological study, owing to the psychological
factors often involved but I have never seen it discussed and
it is not strange that authentic examples are rare and those
that are available for private study cannot always be
published out of consideration for the sufferers."
He further says" Venus in Pisces seems to be a common
feature in nativities of bachelors, and generally a Neptune
(who is co-ruler of Pisces) or Pisces factor appears to arise in
most cases of impotence, in the male sex. Also, Neptune
always tends to express itself in fantasy and so one may get
a person who indulges in amorous reveries rather than in
physical sexual activity. Indifference to sex or frigidity, may
be attributed chiefly to Saturnian action."

430. AARTAVA DOSHA YOGA


( amicr ~ iPr)
DEFINITION
Should the Moon and the Lagna lord be afflicted by the
malefics, the Yoga appears.
RESULTS
The woman suffers from menstrual irregularities.
COMMENTS
The Moon and Mars are causative factors for the
menstrual flow. The ovaries, uterus and adjoining parts are
254 Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology

governed by the Moon. Mars rules blood, breakage of tissues


and endometrtum of uterus. The Moon also governs our
emotional life. If the Moon is in hard aspects to the Mars or
Saturn in the natal chart menstrual irregularities occur out
of physical or psychological causes. Physical causes are
harmonal imbalances and psychological causes are phobias
and fear complex.
Menstruation is a recycling period of 28 days identical
with the Moon's 28 days cycle in the zodiac. In females ovae
are formed in ovaries and pushed into fallopian tubes when
the period is over where they wait to be fertilized by male
sperm. During the period uterus accumulates extra layers
of endometrium to rec~ive tne fertilized ovum. If the ovum
is not fertilized then the next menstrual period appears just
before 28 days and the acquired endometrium is shed in the
form of menstrual flow. The menstruation starts just before
the Moon enters the sign of natal Mars or in aspect to it and
ends after it leaves the association or aspect. The Moon
stays in a sign for 2'h days normally and severity of
menstrual flow is seen during this period. Thus Mars is
responsible for occurance of menstrual flow.
Menstrual irregularities appear in those women who
have hard aspects of Mars, Saturn and Rahu to the Moon or
the Lagna lord. The chart on No. 172 is that of a girl who
had delayed menstruation.
. Mars and Rahu are in the Moon's sign and aspect the
Moon. The aspect is hard because Mars is debilitated. The
girl is of irritable temperamennt. The Lagna Lord is

Mercury. who is near to Saturn and in Aquarius Navamsa,


this rendered her apprehensive, shy and endowed with
inferiority complex. Whenever these phobias were in
excess, the delayed menstruation got her tense. It is bile
(Mars) that leads to sheding of endometrium. Inferiority
complex hampers production of bile. This_ case is more of
psychological origin than a physical one.

431. PAKSHAGHATA ROGA YOGA


(~Wf_cWr)
DEFINITION
lf Rahu occupies the 8th house and Saturn is in the 11th
house from the Lagna, the Yoga occurs.
RESULTS
The native will suffer from paralysis of some type.
COMMENTS
The two planets involved are Rahu and Saturn both
significators of Vaata or wind. Rahu in the 8th will cause
nerve disorders and Saturn in the 11th will aspe'ct the
Lagna, the 5th (stomach) and of course Rahu in the 8th
house. Thus the maleficence of Rahu will be enhanced.
These two will produce defective circulation of blood due to
disturbed humour. Vaata will damage the nervous system
by obstructing the blood flow to the brain.
The Yoga can be general~sed for affliction to the Lagna
factors and 8th house factors. If Mars or the Sun are also
involved in the affliction, cause high blood pressure, one
may get paralysed due to rupture of a brain capilliary and
consequent damage to brain parts from blood clotting.
Jupiter and Venus may cause high blood pressure from
obesity arising out of excess of food and luxury.
Injury to the head or other part may bring damage to
nervous system of some body part controlled by some portion
of the brain· or some extremity. Spinal injury some times
brings about paralysis of the limbs below naval. So different
planets contribute in different manner for paralysis.
C.E.O. Carter opines that Uranus and Neptune afflict
Mercury, and very often the Moon also. Taurus, Scorpio,

433: Should the Lagna be occupied by Rahu and the

RESULTS
The native will accumulate water in abdominal cavities.
COMMENTS
The Yoga 432 appears to be from water retention in the
tissues generally, as Saturn in Cancer aspecting its lord
Moon gives sluggishnesss _of the digestive system and
obstruction to excretion of waste products from the body.
Jalodara or ascites prtmartly results from defective liver,
complicated jaundice and infection of the digestion tract. In
the Yoga 433 there is possibility of Jalodara due to loose
habits and consequent damage of liver.

435: The Moon conjunct weak Saturn be in the 8th, the
Yoga is caused.
RESULTS
The native suffers from obsession by evil spirtts.
COMMENTS
The spirtts or Pishachas seem to attack persons who are
Tflentally unsound due to afflictions of the Moon from the
malefics. The Pishachas, devils, spirtts. and goblins try to
Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology 257

satisfY their material desires by obsessing such weak


mentalities. Pishachas are the souls who met untimely
death without going through the Karmas of their some
incarnation. These wandring souls take hold of weak
mentalities to exhaust the quota of their previous births
Karmas and to get a new rebirth.
The following configuration of planets also hints for the
Yoga. Should the Moon with Rahu be in the Lagna and the
5th and 9th houses be occupied by the malefics, the man
suffers from evil spirits,
Here also the houses of merits and intelligence and the~
sensitive Moon is afflicted by the malefics.

COMMENTS
Human sexual cravings are full of variety. one tries to
gratify his sexual cravings in various ways. In olden times it
was supposed to be the matter of honour to have several
wives. The kings and their courtiers used to keep many
wives. It was a symbol of sexual and physical prowess and
prosperity. In modern times few people have keeps other
than their legal wives. But these variations require Yogas for
immorality and infidelity.

If the Moon and Mars accompanied by the Sun be in the


a
7Ut, the person along with his wife becomes debauchee.
Western authors say "If Venus and Mars both are in
masculine signs, the native .will be moderately immoral; but
if they are oriental (from the cusp of the 4th to the cusp of
the lOth or rise after the Sun), one shall be more
immoderate, inclined to incest etc. If they are occidental
(from lOth cusp to the 4th cusp or rise before the Sun) and
in feminine signs, his spirits will be 'nasty and brutish,' and
so much the more if Saturn casts any ray to them. But if the
native be a woman and has these planets oriental in a
masculine sign, she will dislike male lovers. If they are in
feminine signs and occidental the reverse."
C.E.O. Carter says "the discovery of Uranus and
Neptune has thrown much light on this subject. Their
afflictions especially if afflicting the 5th and 7th houses,
invariably concern the morality and irregular behaviour.
Most of all this seems to occur in the cases of violent
oppositions between Taurus and Scorpio involving the 5th
and 7th houses."
Mars in good aspects stimulates the animal feelings
along lawful lines, in afflictions he often destroys it by over
stimlation through excesses.
Saturn in good aspects controls passions, but in bad
destroys or perverts it. His afflictions involving the 5th and
7Ut, especially in fire are frequently a sign of celibecy.
Neptune causes neurotic conditions and what is often
little short of nymphomania or sexual o\)session.
In a male horoscope afflictions from Venus to Uranus
usually cause affairs with unmarried girls; to Moon,
adultery. In a female map same holds good of Uranus and
the Sun. Mercury would probably be concerned . in a
woman's map where attraction is towards youths. The Moon
afflicted by Saturn, or prominent Cancer, often produces in
men a "mother fixation" or a tendency to seek in the wife a
replica of the mother, often a woman much older than

447-450. AGAMYA STREE GAMYA YOGAS


(~ w Tf1'".f elm)
DEFINITION
44 7: If the 4th lord be conjunct with or aspected by the
malefic planets and the 7th lord be stronger than the Lagna
lord, the Yoga exists.
448: If the Moon and Venus afflicted by the malefics be
in the cruel Navamsas or Shastiamsas and proceed towards
their dibilitation and the 4th be occupied by the malefics in
aspect of the malefics, the Yoga is given to arise.
449: Should the 7th lord be in the 4th associated with or
aspected by malefics-and also be in cruel Shastiamsas, the
Yoga exists.
450: Should Saturn be in the 4th aspected by the
malefics, the Yoga is said to be formed:
RESULTS
In the Yoga 447 and 448 the native will be involved
sexually with a lady equal in status and age to his mother.
The native will be involved sexually with his sister or a
woman like his sister, if the Yoga 449 and 450 are there.
COMMENTS
Our ancestors laid down some codes for the social
habitation and for human being to be called a civilised
creature. If the man involves in such debased acts for
sensuality then there remains no difference between a
human being and a beast who does not differentiate
between his mother and sister.
These Yogas can only be nullified if Venus falls in the
Vargas of Jupiter or is aspected by him.
No planet is advocated in the 7th except Venus in Taurus
or Libra in this respect.
If the Sun be in the 71h, the native seeks sexual pleasures
with barren women; if the Moon, a woman represented by
the sign in the 7th; if Mars, a woman in youth or menses or
barren; if Mercury, harlots, mean females of trader community;
if Jupiter, wife of a Brahmin or a pregnant woman; if Saturn,
Rahu or Ketu, baser females having attained their courses.

DEFINITION
Should Satum be in the 7tr. conjunct the 7tr. lord,
Mercury or the Moon, the Yoga is given to arise.
RESULTS
The native will marry a woman married earlier but
divorced or abandoned by husband.
COMMENIS
Satum is the main causative factor in the Yoga. In the
2nd chart under Kupatni Yoga, Satum in the 7tr.is conjunct
the 71Illord and aspects Mercury in the Lagna. The fact that
emerges from the afflictions of the mental factors in the 7tr. by
Saturn is that the native is unlucky in the matter of marriage.

with another male for subduing his sex lust.
COMMENIS
Homosexuality is increasing in the west as human right
or sexual freedom and free life. The sex indulgement is a
pious .act needed only for procreation as we have seen with
other creatures than human being who indulge in sex only
266 Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology

homosexuality is nearly always referable to Uranus. Carter

454-455. BRAGA CHUMBANA YOGAS


( WT +d>k4"1 'itTf )
DEFINITION
454: Should the 7th lord .and Venus be in the sign of
Mars, the Yoga is formed.
455: Should the lOth lord conjunct Venus be in a
Martian sign aspected by Saturn, the Yoga is said to be
caused.
RESULTS
The native will lick the vagina of his female sex mate.
COMMENTS
Licking the pudendum muliebre i.e., private part of the
female sex mate is an animal instinct which is present in
animals during their mating periods. In human beings it is
a sex aberration. The following Sloka of Jataka Parijatam
{14/42) describes it thus-

~~mw-~ ••
If the 7th lord be conjunct or aspected by Venus or
occupy his house, the man gets so mu·ch excited sexually
that he indulges in kissing the privities of his wife. The
effect is same, if it is 2nd lord as described above, or if the
lord of I Qth occupies the 7th conjunct Venus.

Should Venus be in the Navamsa or sign of Mars or be in


aspect or conjunction to Mars, the native will kiss the
private parts of his female. There is nothing peculiar about
the Yoga except that it indicates extreme sensuality.
If Venus is related to Saturn in the above marmer, the
female kisses the privities of her male ·sex mate.

71b lord, the Moon and Venus. See the following chart The
Lagna lord Venus is eclipsed by the Sun and has gone to the
l21b house. The Moon is conjunct Saturn in the 71b. Mars
aspects the Moon-Saturn combination from the Lagna.
Native's wife remained ill of rheumatoid arthritis caused by
pyorrhoea in the gums and had to get her teeth removed to
get cured of rheumatoid arthritis. His wife is older in age to
him. She does not fit well with his personality. The Bharya
Nasha Yoga is present; but the presence of Jupiter in the 41b

DEFINITION
46I: If the lord of 8th house be in his other own sign and
Saturn in the 8th be strong, the Yoga exists.
462: If the Lagna lord, 8th lord and I Oth lord be in a
quadrant/trine or l l th house, the Yoga is given to arise.
463: If the 8th lord be conjunct or aspected by a benefic
planet or occupies a benefic sign or 8th house or exaltation
sign, the Yoga comes into existence.
464: If the 8th lord posited in the Lagna be aspected by
Jupiter and Venus, the Yoga is formed.
RESULTS
The native will enjoy a long lease of life.
COMMENTS
Long life depends on the strength of the Lagna and its
lord, the 8th house and its lord and Saturn. The Moon and
Mercury should be given special consideration as affliction
of the two gives Balarishta or infant mortality.
Strong lOth lord proVides status and position, makes the
native free ofworries thus, adds to longeVity. In all the four
Yogas mentioned above strength ·of tpe Lagna, the 8th, the
lOth and Saturn are desired. The association of the three
lords with Saturn or other maleftcs is harmful for life
prospects and this is confirmed by Jataka Parijata:
q;ifllt<~I'Jdj41 "t~llll~"'?il­

The lOth lord alone in the 8th gives long life. Strong
Saturn else where is a good augury for longeVity.

According to Western Astrology physical well being


depends upon the two luminaries, the Lagna and the 6th

the 6th and 8th will not cause that much ill health or death
of the native, as they will only cause him distress through
others.
The 4th house rules the end of life, Venus and Jupiter are
good therein and a strong Saturn in good aspects to the lord
of 4th or planets therein, is a good indication of the long and
healthy old age.

Saturn be in the 6th or 8th, and another strong malefic be in
the 6th or 8th,the Yoga is given to arise.
RESULTS
The native will enjoy medium longevity.
COMMENIS
The Lagna lord is desired to be weak and malefics are
required to be in the 6th or 8th ; but quadrants. and trines are
fortified by the presence of. the benefics. Therfore some
factors of longevitY get weakened and hence medium
longeVity.
If out of the lords of pt, 8th and lOth and Saturn, two
factors suffer degradation even then the longevity is reduced
to medium.

aspected by only malefics, the Yoga is said to be caused.
RESULTS
The new born will die soon after birth.
COMMENI'S
The Moon is the strong significator of infancy. The Moon
depends on the Sun for her illumination. Similarly the child
depends on the mother and the environment for his
survival. As the Moon waxes so the child develops. When
the Moon is heavily afflicted for the infant, his chances of
survival are bleak. If the environmetal factors ie, the
quadrants are devoid of benefics, the infant decays in
absence of conducive environment around. Environment
here includes good caring, breast feeding, medical care,
hygiene, protection from evil eye, love of father etc. Under
adverse environment, the quality of mother's milk also gets
affected and so the infant's health suffers.

COMMENTS
.The 9th house is called· Bhagya sthana and one is
fortunate in this birth only. if he would have done good
deeds in his previous births. The rule 'As you sow so shall

The Sloka stresses on the strength of the Lagna lord, if

father affluent as the native will lack ability. Jataka Parijata
affirms it-

The lord of the 5th place from the 9th is its awakener. If

or in own sign or in a friendly sign, it invariably does good to
the man concerned. However, in this case the native may be
of selfish nature, a cruel one with other Yogas of cruelty.
The chart No. 185 of Sir Mirza Ismail Ex-minister of
Mysore State is illustrative of this. The 9th lord is exalted in

Should the 9th house and the 9th lora be afflicted, the
Yoga exists.
RESULTS
The native will indulge in sinful deeds and be doing ill to others.
COMMENTS
The 9th house is Pitru-sthana or father's house. With
such a Yoga the native inherits father's evil nature or has to
reap the fruits of evils done by his ancestors (Pitru Dosha).
The Yoga is intensified if the Sun and the Moon are also
afflicted by the malefics; be in debilitation or Vargas of the
malefics if Jupiter in the Lagila is aspected by Saturn. If the
282 Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology

4th house and the 4th lord fall in the Vargas (divisions) of the
malefics or are aspected by the malefics or are conjunct the
malefics, the native is evilly disposed. If the 4th house is
occupied by a malefic planet and the weak 4th lord is
conjunct Gulika then also the native is unscrupulous,
crooked and indulges in bad deeds.

COMMENTS
When the 3rd and 1Qth lords are weak, the person lacks
initiative and is disinclined to any work. If the 9th lord is also
debilitated or weak otherwise, the native is deviod of merits
as well. Hence the begging or low placement in life.

507-508. GANGA SNANA YOGAS


(l'jlrr-"f"lR ~)
DEFINITION
507: Should the 9th lord be in a watery sign aspected by
the benefics, the Yoga exists.
508: Should Rahu or the Sun be in the lQth, the Yoga is
formed.
RESULTS
The native will have a holy dip in sacred rivers.
COMMENTS
In ancient times when there were no means of
communication and people were not literate enough, the
holy gatherings were arranged at certain religious and cultural
centres to refresh the knowledge and religious beliefs of the
people attending. The people thus, knew about history, cultural
evolution, religious origin and their own racial backgrounds
through such places. In Haridwar or Brij Ghat in north
India when the successors of the dead reach there to mingle
ashes of the deceased in the holy waters of Ganga, the racial
priest there recites parental history of the deceased. He also
tells names of the forefathers and enters name of the
diceased as a record in a note book with him for the coming
generations. ln this way we can understand the importance
of Ganga snana and such holy religious gatherings.
The 9th lord in a watery sign means that the native has
belief in the holy waters of the sacred places and this belief
leads him to honesty and pious living, thus enabling him to
skid more near to final emancipation by purifying his soul
from the material desires of this world.
The Sun in the I Qth denotes an influential person who
enjoys honours and kingly status and it was easy for such
people to visit holy places.
Rahu is a planet of greed and when placed in lOth, it
imbibes in the native a greed for God's grace in this material
world by having a dip in holy waters. Long religious travels
were also undertaken by influential people and in this way
an environment of piety and freeness made people healthy
286 Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology

and energised. Thus after long distance travels people were


enqowed with a religious conscience and cultural as well as
physical awareness.. These travels enhanced confidence
amidst the travellers.
The following Slokas of Jataka Parijata 15/3 will be of
interest in this respect, viz;-

If the lOth lord in conjunction with yenus be in a
quadrant or is in exaltation, the person purifies himself by
ablutions in the water of the Ganges. If Mercury occupies
the 12th house or the 12th lord be exalted or be in own sign,
the mertt of such ablutions will accrue to the native.

If the Moon with clear rays occupies the IQth house, the
person will be purified by the ablutions in the water of the

man to the act of gambling and violence.

COMMENTS
In the Yoga 509 the lord of 9th and I Oth may be in sign
exchange, aspects, conjunction or one may be in other's

in high esteem in astrological literature.

In the Yoga 510 Jupiter and Mercury combination makes


a man full of wisdom and excel in adVisory capacity by

the native and impede fructification of sacrifices due to
indenting of the unholy people in the cause.
The above Chart of lshswar Chandra Vidyasagar is
illustrative of the Yoga. The 9lli and IOlli lords ate in conjunction
in the lQlli and the assocition of Ketu deferred him
recognition. The aspect of Jupiter to the 9lli house, Venus in
Cancer and exaltation of the Moon made him lise for the
cause of masses. The native was learned, polite, pious,
religious personality endowed with philanthropic qualities.

516. RAJA YOGAS (~ ~)


In the first twelve Slokas of Raja Yogadhyaya in his
Brihat Jataka, Varaha Mihira describes Yogas enunciated
by the Yavanas and objections raised by Jeevasarman when
the three malefics are exalted in a nativity. Varaha Mihira
himself examines these Yogas critically and then postulates
his own views.
We start here from the Yo gas of Varaha Mihira.

517. RAJA YOGA ( 'U\iT im)


DEFINITION
If three or more planets occupy their exaltation or their
own signs and are at the same time in trine to one another,
the Raja Yoga arises.
RESULTS
The person will become a king if he belongs to a royal
family.
COMMENTS
Varaha Mihira here has asked, the planets to be in trines
that means they become related, what relation it can be? Is
it an aspectual relation? If it is an aspectual relation there is
no mention of it in Hindu astrology. However in Phala
Deepika and Prasna Marga it is told when Saturn comes in
trine to certain houses or certain lords, the fructification of
the events related to those lords or houses occurs. The
greatest fortune Jupiter is ascribed two special aspects i.e,
the 5th and 9th houses aspects are harmonious in nature.
We do not include them in general as aspects. In Western
Astrology the planets placed in the 5th and 9th to each other
are in trine aspect which is a harmonious aspect. Varaha
Mihira might have found some sense in it and therefore he
has asked so impetuously for the three or more planets to
be in trine to each other and that too under Raja Yogas.

The scenery will be as shown in chart I95.
In the configuration the evil that would arise due to

Sun be in the 1Oth house, the Yoga results.
If benefic signs happen to be strong by being in the
quadrants and all the malefic signs be occupied by the

RESULTS
The native born in the 1st Yoga will not be so much a
virtuous king but a bhogtn, who recklessly spends and
Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology 299

enjoys. In the 2nd Yoga, the native born will be a king who
will be hunting, snatching others States and indulging in
acts like dacoity and thus will amass immense wealth.
COMMENTS
The king may be virtuous or a rogue and here the 2nd
quality is emphasized.
The first part of the Yoga is possible only in Bhava chart
in higher latitudes where one sign can spread upto two
houses, only then Mercury can be in the Lagna and the Sun
in the lOth. Such a configuration produces a king who
indulges in enjoyments rather than caring for the masses.

The second case where the benefic signs are made strong
by the position of benefics they indicate riches; but at the

wealth by cheating or snatching other's States and lands.

The Yoga is hard to find as the configuration is so rare.
However in the chart of Sri Krisna Raja Wadiyar IV of Mysore
State, the Yoga is partially present. The Lagna lord Moon is
in Ubra, in sign as well as in Navamsa and in a quadrant
i.e, the 4th house. The 9th lord is exalted in the Lagna; but
instead of being in Cancer Navamsa is in Ubra ~avamsa
conjunct the Lagna lord in Navamsa chart. The Yoga is
simple one and does not require any-further elucidation.

COMMENTS
In ancient times a person lording two villages was
considered a king. In modern context such Yogas can be
applied to persons with affluence.
The chart No. 210 of Emperor Nero illustrates the Yoga.
When the Moon is full of brightness, she is more receptive to
the energy of other planets in strength and is coloured with
the qualities of the planet she is associated with or aspected
by. Mars is exalted as the 5th lord and is dispositor of the
Lagna lord Jupiter. Therefore, adds forcefulness,
aggressiveness and authority in the mind of the native.
Emperor Nero was very much endowed . with such
characteristics and is known as a cruel emperor.

boosted and acquire further impetus by the aspect of the
greatest fortune Jupiter, who is not an enemy to Venus and

the beneflcs on the 9th house and its lord Venus. The Lagna

COMMENTS
The exaltation of Jupiter in the Lagna makes the planet
doubly powerful by being in a quadrant and having attained
Digbala. Similar is the case with the Sun. The third power of
exaltation is already there. All planets are beneficial in the
llth house particularly in benefic, own or friendly sign. The
Moon is exalted there, Venus is in own sign and Mercury is
in a friendly sign. The planets in the 11th are in sextile to
the planet in the Lagna. The Moon though is with deficient
rays; but is propped by the association of two benefics and
being exalted. Even if she is considered a malefic due to her
nearness to the Sun but then all the malefics are considered
good in the ll th house.

If Jupiter and the Moon be in Taurus, and the lord of

RESULTS
The native will be greatly prosperous and ruler of the
earth.
COMMENTS
The Moon exalted in Taurus and conjunct Jupiter, the
Karaka of wealth, bestows immense riches to the native.
The Lagna lord in a trlne makes one highly meritorious, if
devoid of the aspect of Mars and Saturn. These aspects
imbibe the native with many defects of character and hurt
his reputation.
The native with such a combination is a money magnet,
sweet tongued, philanthropic and known for his works for
the social cause.
The following chart is of a native who earned 9800

Therefore Ekavali Yoga (a Raja Yoga) is present. The 2nd

Our definition strictly follows the Sloka.
Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology 321

Some commentators break the Yoga into four parts, viz,


(1) The debilitation sign lord of the debilitated planet
should be in a quadrant from the Lagna.
(ii) The debilitation sign lord of the debilitated planet
should be in a quadrant from the Moon.
(iii) The exaltation sign lord of the debilitated planet
should be in a quadrant from the Lagna.
(iv) The exaltation sign lord of the debilitated planet
should be in a quadrant from the Moon.
If we count these four conditions separately for the Yoga
then all the planets in debilitation will get the debilitation
cancelled somehow or the other and Neecha or debilitated
planet wm not have any significance, that has arist:n due to
that particular condition. --
To us it appears that the Lagna should also be counted,
as when Jupiter is debilitated then his debilitation lord is
the Moon who cannot be in a quadrant from herself.
Another kind of Yoga is that, if the debilitated planet is
aspected by his dispositor the Yoga is caused. This also
sounds some logic.
The chart No. 230 of Shah of Persia illustrates the two
Yogas.
Sun's exaltation sign lord Mars and debilitation sign lord
Venus, both are in a quadrant from the Moon, therefore the
Sun gets Neecha Bhanga.

Sanyasis command more respect than the kings.
Sanyasis have Raja Yogas as are said for fame, prosperity
and kingly status; but at the same time they also have
Pravrajya Yogas which lead them to know the final truth
and thus guide the world how to get rid of sorrows? .The
urge to know the ultimate truth emanates from Saturn,
when he afflicts the mentality ie, the Moon.

When Jupiter, the Moon and the Lagna are aspected by


Saturn and Jupiter occupies the 9th house, the person born
in the Raja Yoga will become a holy illustrious founder of a
system of philosophy. When Saturn occupies the 9th house
and is not aspected by any planet, the person possessed of
Raja Yoga will betake himself to the holy order before
becoming a lord of men.
In the context of the Sloka let us take the chart of Swami
Vidyaranya who was instrumental in establishing the
Empire of Vijayanagar and thus saved the Hindu
philosophy and vision of life from Mohammedan invasions.
He was the spiritual head of Vijayanagar Emperors just as
Vishnu Gupta was of Magadha. Jupiter though is not in the
9th house but he aspects the exalted Sun, the lord of the 9th
and the 9lhhouse very powerfully. Jupiter and the Lagna are
aspected by Saturn; on one side of the Moon is Saturn and
the other side is the aspect of Saturn. Many Raja Yogas are
present in the chart and therefore he was Raja Guru, who
safeguarded the Hindu cultural heritage.

( fi0<:11~ we 'lim)
DEFINITION

war, the Yoga is given to arise.

overcome in planetary war and aspected by other planets,
the person concerned will seek admission into the holy
order without success.

558. BAHU LABHA YOGA ( ~ ~ <im)


DEFINITION
If the well aspected lord of 11th house be placed in a
quadrant or trine and the 11th be occupied by the planets,
the Yoga is given to arise.
RESULTS
The native will have good income from multiple sources.
COMMENTS
The 11th lord is called a Trishadayadheesha and in his
Dasa he generally gives a good income: but at the same time
there are problems of health.
328 Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology

If the planets in the 11 lh are benefics, the native earns


through fair means and if malefics then through cruelty and
unscrupulous means. The native of the chart of Vyapart ·
Yoga under 1Qlh house is a very cruel person having Saturn .
and Mars in the 11 lh and Jupiter debilitated in Navamsa.
Saturn and Mars in the I I lh have given him income through
metals, industries and employment of labour. He earned
through sale and purchase of lands as well, for Mars is
fortified in the 11 lh house.
Jupiter in the 11 lh gives income through religious and
scientific knowledge and through well settled sons. Mercury
gives income through writing, lecturing and through
maternal uncles. The Sun through father, persons in
authority and through inheritance. The Moon, through
mother, liquids, breweries, sea products, dairy, farms,
vegetables and fruits. Venus gives accession to riches
through females, fine arts, drama, cinema and garments.
Saturn, through the remaining except those mentioned
above, and through agriculture. If the I Ith is vacant then
such results may be declared from the lord of 11 lh, if strong.
The predictions in regard to wealth should be made from
the Karkatwa and strength of the planet associating the 11 lh
lord.
If the lords of the 2nd and 11 lh are friendly to the Lagna
lord, the wealth is spent on good deeds, If these two planets
are unfriendly then the native spends for I?.is own pleasures
and on socially unsanctioned deeds; he is very selfish and
cruely inclined.
If the planet in the 11 lh or its lord be powerless,
depressed, in an unfriendly sign and defeated in planetary
war, the person has to go about begging regularly for his
subsistence or he may work on daily wages.

559. VAHANA SUKHA YOGA(~ W9 efm)


DEFINITION
If the 11 lh lord, the 1Oth lord and the 9th lord be in the

Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology 329

RESULTS
The native will have comforts of excellent conveyances.
COMMENTS
The native with an otdinary Raja Yoga or having strong
Lagna can possess a vehicle of his own. The Yoga mentioned
above denotes the persons of high status, statesmen, high
government officials, ministers etc, who enjoy comforts o{
conveyances, though not having them as their own.

560. NANA DESHATANA YOGA


( YfAT ~-QIIG'1 ~)
DEFINITION
If the planet in the I 2th owns as well as occupies a
moveable sign or is the lord of the 6th or the 8th or is in
conjunction with or aspected by Saturn, the Yoga exists
RESULTS
The person will roam about several lands and forest regions.
COMMENTS
The 12th house, its lord or a planet therein represent the
consumation of energy whether physical, mental or
financial and therefore the conditions of the Yoga will decide
the method.
The 12th house, its lord and Saturn should be judged for
wandering, misfortunes, evil doom, liberty and comforts of
the bed.
Let us elaborate the 12th house factors- One does not
dissipate his money if the 12th lord is weak some way and
the 12th be occupied by a benefic who is also aspected by a
benefic. The reverse also holds.
If the 12th lord occupies benefic Vargas, the outlay of
money will be on legitimate means. If the 12th lord
conjuncts weak planets or is aspected by them, one
dissipates his wealth.
The person will have his wealth consumed by people of
Brahmins and other respective communities signified by
caste of the planet in the 12th house.

561. RAJMOOLO DHANA VYAYA YOGA


( u '*ic1'l 8Ff '&flf cirtT )
DEFINITION
Should the 12th house be occupied by the Sun, Rahu
and Venus,· the Yoga is formed.
RESULTS
The native will not get his money back, which was spent
on account of rulers.
Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology 331

COMMENfS
The configuration of the Yoga suggests that the native
may :be a person of loose morals and may be indulging in
such deeds and might have been penalised for the same by
the rulers. This is one aspect of the Yoga. The other aspect
is that the native might be having relations with the ladies
of royal class and be spending a lot for that cause.
The verse says-
~Ul "S~4T am "U\iiT srat ~ ,
if the weak rayed Moon conjunct the Sun occupy the
12th, one's wealth will be snatched by the king.
The weak Moon is the mischief maker here and fickle
mindedness may be the cause.
Similarly Mars and Saturn cause drainage of wealth
through brothers. Badly placed Jupiter depletes money by
heavy taxation.
The chart No. 237 is of a person who has fallen victim to
conspiracy of his younger brother, for Mars is with Rahu in
the 12th. He is losing his business to his younger brother
day by day. Rahu in the 12th creates conspiracies and Mars
in the 12th in an enemy sign denotes that the conspirator is
younger brother.

RESULTS
The native will be thrifty and he will not spend unduely.
COMMENTS

The verse says- 'lft<ls¥1 Cfi<Clli:i11 ~: I
If Jupiter is in 12th, the wealth goes on paying the taxes.
Rahu's association with Jupiter indicates some
embrezzlement of.money or other financial follies which led
the native to imprisonment. Mars the dispositor of Rahu
and Jupiter, is placed in the Lagna in a fixed sign.
If the 2nd and 12th houses occupy equal number of
planets and so are the 5th and 9th houses, the Bandhana
Yoga is caused. The same principle can be applied to the
pairs of 3rd, 11th and 4th, 1Oth houses.
In the horoscope No. 239 of Mahatma Gandhi, the pairs
of houses, 2nd, 12th and 4th, lOth are occupied bymalefics. Rahu
does not afflict any planet and the reasons for imprisonment
were simply political. The Sun in the 12th indicates fight
against a sovereign empire and expenses on that account.

his end by hanging.

564. KALASARPA YOGA ( Cfil&tftcf ~)


DEFINITION
If all the planets are in the signs between Rahu and
Ketu, without being associated with the two nodes in signs
occupied by them, the Yoga is said to arise.
RESULTS
The native born with the Kala Sarpa Yoga is
apprehensive by nature and gets hampered in almost all
areas of his life.
COMMENTS
Kala Sarpa Yoga finds no mention in the astrological
classics; but its effects are felt generally in consonance with
other good and bad Yogas in the horoscopes. It increases
one's mental sensitivity and restlessness. Therefore the
native shows enough potential for hard work and pertstence
if good Yogas are present in his chart and becomes equally
lazy and apprehensive if bad Yogas fall in his chart.
Kala Sarpa Yoga usually has an insulating effect on th<;:
electrical energies emanating from the planets falling on one
side of the nodal axis. This insulating effect is not felt if any
of the planet gets associated with one of the nodes or moves
on the other side of the axis. This associated or free planet
has a special role of his own according to his significations
in devitalizing Kala Sarpa Yoga and providing a base for the
flow of energies of other planets aceording to his significations.
The Yoga gets more intensified if the· Lagna and other
planets contact Ketu by transits or by the progressions of
the West and gives diresome results. However the Yoga
becomes materialistically helpful if this contact is with
Rahu. Some scholars talk of the orb of influence when a
Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology 335

planet is associated with Rahu or Ketu and for devitalizing


the Yoga advocate a 12° orb of influence. Some of the
astrologers even advocate for considering lately discovered
planets Uranus, Neptune and Pluto also on one side of the
nodal axis and assign their presence on the other side of the
nodal axis for nonfunctioning of Kala Sarpa Yoga in certain
horoscopes. Well, this all is a matter of one's experience.
Kala Sarpa Yoga can have seven configurations viz. 1/7,
2/8, 3/9, 4/10, 5/10," 5/11 and 6th/12th houses. The Yoga
is not good for material and marital happiness if formed in
1•tj7th houses especially when Ketu is in the Lagna but it is
good for spiritual pursuits. Rahu in the Lagna is good.
Kala Sarpa Yoga is not regarded good for money matters
if it falls on 2nd/8th house axis particularly if Ketu is in the
2nd. If Rahu is in the 2nd one plays with other's money and
one cannot be relied upon in money matters. There is easy
access to money and so is its drain out.
Kala Sarpa Yoga formed in 3n1 /9th house affects one's
mental inclinations. If Ketu is in the 3rd one is of orthodox
views in thinking; but at the same time wants material
possessions due to presence of Rahu in the 9th. Rahu in the
3n1 prones one to be more harmonious with current trends
and popular beliefs.
Kala Sarpa Yoga formed involving the 4th/10th house axis
inflicts difficulties in family and business affairs.
Kala Sarpa Yoga falling through the axis of 5th/11th
houses manifests through children, intelligence, friends and
acquaintances, and produces curiousity regarding these
areas. Rahu in the 5th makes one to be a flirt in regard to
romance while in the 11th causes one to make use of his
friends and his society for his own ends.
Kala Sarpa Yoga falling along the 6th/ 12th houses axis
may cause imprisonment or serious ~iseases etc according
to the significations of the two houses. On the positive side
the Yoga here tends to spiritual realisation or higher
learning while on the negative side one can be subject to
lingering illnesses, poor health and long confinement in
hospitals or·asylums and may resort to decodified means.
336 Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology

Usually the effects of. Kala Sarpa Yoga are felt


throughout the life of an individual but are more specifically
prominent under the Dasas and Bhuktis of Rahu and Ketu
and under transits of various planets over the nodal
positions and vice versa. This Yoga is of particular
significance in the charts of nations and rulers than in the
nativities of ordinary persons. lt significantly affects the
geographical boundries of nations when found in the charts
of nations or rulers, either natally or by transit.

The example chart No. 241 is of a girl who inspite of all


opposition from her family members and relatives opted for
love marrtge in a different caste just due to her fancies for
sexual union. She also had such relations with other males
previously to this marriage. Rahu with Uranus in Libra
indicates sensuality leading to sex act; Neptune in the 5th,
romantic reveries. The Moon in the 3rd, inclination to have
new emotional contacts. Venus is conjunct the Sun in the
11th, romances with friends and acquaintances,· and
possessiveness for the same. The girl has ruined her
relations with parents as well as has spoilt her career.
Quadrants are occupied by all the malefics. The stinge of
Kala Sarpa Yoga is smoothered by the conjunction of
Jupiter with Ketu in the lOth house. The Yoga would have
lost its efficacy to a great extent if she would have entered
into a marriage of his father's choice (the 9th lord Jupiter in
the lOth). The conjunction ofthe Lagna lord Moon with Pluto
and placement of Mars and Saturn in the Lagna make her
stubborn and stick to her own views in this respect .
