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.

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.

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.

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:-

The individual born under the Malavya Yoga has fine
gestures, graceful body contours and the eyes of a female.
He is handsome, meritorious and splendrous. He is blessed
with children, wife, vehicles and wealth; he is learned and
well versed in sacred scriptures. He judiciously applies or
uses the three regal powers-i e. energy, capacity and women
and will attain the age of 77 years.

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.

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
4141~q)'l"'ld fclqt'\o<tl\1 ~~I I
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
though Jupiter is cojunct the Sun. Shivaji was a very pious
king as he respected ladies, even those who belonged to his
enemies, the Moghuls.
Readers may look for this Yoga the chart of Sardar
Vallabh Bhai Patel under Sasa Yoga. Every one knows

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
discussed under Sasa Yoga.

An individual born under Sunapha Yoga will be a king or

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.

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.

36. CHATUSSAGARA YOGA ( ~:m-rR 'im)
DEFINITION
Should all the quadrants be occupied by planets, the
Yoga is caused Chatussagara.
RESULTS
The native will be valorous, prosperous and command
respect li~e a king.
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
Yoga. Saturn is a Karmik planet for being conjunct Rahu.

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.

In modern context the influence of Kahala Yoga may
raise the native in the capacity of a collector, a police

The Yogas at 46 and 47 are from Jataka Panjata while
at 48 is from Phala Deepika and all the configurations
enhance strength of the horoscope.
Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra holds (i) the 4th lord and
Jupiter in mutual quadrants and the Lagna lord in strength
and (ii) the 4th lord in his exaltation or own sign being
aspected by or conjoined with the lQth lord.
The example horoscope No.35 is of the Prime Minister of
a former Princely State of pre-independence India. Kahala

The Yoga causing planets and houses need to be strong
to give good results in their Dasa-Bhuktis. However, the 6th

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.

REMARKS
The Lagna lord and the Moon sign lord gain strength by

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.

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.
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:

If the Navamsa lord of the lOth lord be in the lOth house

Yoga results.
This Gauri Yoga also boosts·the JOthhouse and the Lagna
which are also the key factors for worldly honours.

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.

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.

As the Navamsa lord of the Moon sign has to be with a

moral codes. Much will depend upon the sign position of the

succeeds in every endeavour at his hand. He rides the horse
of fortune through out his life.

The znct and 9th lords, Saturn and the Sun are in
quadrants from the Moon.
RESULTS
The native born under Vajra Yoga will be extremely
fortunate, wealthy, enjoying all comforts and long lived.
COMMENTS
When the 9th house is strong all comforts of life are easy
to come by because 9th is the house of fortunes. The aspect
of the 2nd lord to the above planets in the 9th house causes
an incessant flow of wealth for enjoying comforts of life.
This Yoga can only be enjoyed by those born in Gemini,
Libra, Capricorn and Pisces Lagnas. For other Lagnas the

When the 3rd lord is exalted, the native gets full help
from coborns. The 4th lord in the Lagna with the Lagna lord
is a good augury for all comforts and possession of estates.
How then a person enjoying all comforts could not look
youthful and cheerful up to a good old age?

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.

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.

132. RAJJU YOGA (~ cWT)

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,

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.

Should all the malefics be in the 1st and 7th houses while
the benefics be in the 4th and lOth houses respectively, Yava

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.

functioning in Bhava charts.

A Nau Yoga native will be earning his livelihood by living
on the surface of water. He will be strong, stingy and

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.

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.

Yoga 196 has been found true in actual practice. Saturn
is a reserved planet, when afflicts the Moon or Mercury, one
does not beat about the bush but expresses his feelings in a

to blockade of sinuses. The Yoga 197 has been found correct

Saturn and Mars. are the Karakas of the 6th house, both

The food quality can be decided by the association,
aspects and Vargas of the 2nd house and 2nd lord. Malefics
signify Devil's appetite, Tamsaika food while the benefics
signify sparing but Satvika and quality food. Malefics cause
poverty while the benefics riches. Cardinal factors related to
the 2nd house make one eat briskly while the fixed factors
make one eat slowly by enjoying the taste of the food. The
native dines at the death ceremonies, Shradhas or such
lower functions, if the 2nd lord Saturn is debilitated or
related to Gulika. The native depends on the fo.od left out by
others if the 2nd lord be debilitated or in evil Navamsas or
aspected by the malefics and this Yoga cim also be taken for
poisoned food or Vishaprayoga.
RESULTS
The results have been described along with the Yogas.
COMMENTS
The 2nd house represents speech, face and general look
of the face. The Yogas have many variations. Suppose a native
has Mars and Rahu in the 2nd in Cancer and their dispositor
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.
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.

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.

RESULTS
The native is with diseased eyes if there be present any
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.

contention among co-barns who had been dear to each
other in the childhood are inheritances and envious

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.

The native of the chart No. 122lost his mother early. The
Moon is debilitated and the Moon and Venus both are

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.

The possession of a beautiful mansion has been a sign of
prosperity from the time immemorial. Vaastu Shastra has
emerged to tell which house will be lucky geometrically as
well as direction wise. The two Yogas mentioned above are

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.
Example chart on page I 78 is of Quaide Azam Mohammed

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.

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
female deity like Durga, Kali, Bhairavi, Yakshini etc; if Mars
is in the 5th, the native worships Hanumaana or Kartikeya,
if Jupiter is in the 5th, the native worships Brahma or
Saraswati, if Mercury is in the 5th, the native ·worships
Vishnu, if Saturn is in the 5th, the native worships Pretas,
ghosts, Shakini etc, the evil forces and if Rahu is in the 5th
then the native worships mean deities for teasing others.
RESULTS
The native will be endowed with an obedient and worthy
son.
COMMENTS
There is a saying in northern India that there is no use of
amassing money for the son who is either worthy or
unworthy. The worthy son will be able to earn enough by his
own merits while the disobedient and unworthy son will
destroy the amassed wealth. The resultant fact is that we
should try to rear our sons to be cultured and worthy citizens.

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.

If the Sun be in the Lagna, Saturn be in the 7th or the Sun
and Saturn together be in the 7th and the lOth house be
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.
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

If the 5th lord be debilitated, the 9th lord be in the Lagna
and Mercury and Ketu be in 5th, the native begets progeny
after tiring efforts.
We have included here only those Yogas which bear
some reasoning.
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.

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

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.

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.
COMMENTS
A strong 6th lord is desirable in the Lagna to vanquish
enemies. Strong 6th lord in Trikas (6th, 8th or 12th) will
definitely invite troubles from the enemies. Generally the
sixth lord should be weaker than the Lagna lord otherwise
the enemies will over power the native.

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

forms ridges.

If at birth the Moon be in the middle Navamsa of
Sagittarius conjoined or aspected by Mars and Saturn,
singly or jointly, one becomes a leper. The same are the
results if under above conjunctions· or aspects the Moon
occupies the Navamsa belonging to Aries, Cancer, Capricorn
or Pisces. If Scorpio, Cancer, Taurus and Capricorn happen
Yogas-The Marvels of Hindu Astrology 227
to be the 5th and 9th house from the Lagna and be occupied
or aspected by all the malefics, the man will surely be a leper.
Should the Moon (in the first half of the Sloka) be also
aspected by any of the benefics, the native may not suffer
from leprosy; but may have Itches resulting from scratches

The example chart on page 226 illustrates the Yoga
clearly. The Lagna lord Mercury in the 3rd Is afflicted by
Rahu in a watery sign. The Moon Is afflicted by Saturn in a
watery sign.
In Ayurveda it is said that leprosy occurs from
consuming at the same time the foods which are ·naturally
adverse to each other like taking fish arid milk together.
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.

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

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
developed arthritis in the Dasa of Mercury when it just

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.

.The 9th house is called· Bhagya sthana and one is

The Yoga is more or less an Amavasya combination. The
two planets are exalted and the two are in own signs while
the Moon is in a friendly sign. The three major planets in
dignity are aspecting the Lagna and both the luminaries.
The scenery will be as shown in chart I95.
In the configuration the evil that would arise due to
natural maleficence of Saturn and Mars gets anulled by the
aspect of Jupiter over the Lagna and on the Luminaries and
by his placement in the Bhagyasthana, the 9th house.

DEFINITION
If any one of the three planets, viz, Jupiter, Venus and
Mercury be in the Lagna and Saturn be in the 7th and the
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
malefics, the Yoga is constituted.
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

i.e, the 4th house. The 9th lord is exalted in the Lagna; but
instead of being in Cancer Navamsa is in Ubra ~avamsa

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.

· The Sloka bears the word ~: for the planet in the 9th

The example chart No. 2 I I is of the famous cine-
luminary from South India, Sivaji Ganesan.
The 9th house is occupied by Venus in own sign Libra,
associated with Mercury, who is a friend of Venus and the
5th lord. Therefore, the significations of ¢e 9th house get
boosted and acquire further impetus by the aspect of the
greatest fortune Jupiter, who is not an enemy to Venus and
Mercury. Thus there is preponderance of beneficence of all
the beneflcs on the 9th house and its lord Venus. The Lagna
lord in the I Oth strengthens the chart further.
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.

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.
