Below we reproduce a few
which are easy to understand and also relatively common.

YOGAS BASED ON ASCENDANT AS A
FACTOR
1. If benefics occupy the second and twelfth houses as counted from ascendant,
it is called Shubha Kartari-kartari means a pair of scissors; here the second
and the twelfth houses are analogous to the two blades. If malefics occupy the
second and twelfth houses, as counted from the ascendant, it constitutes Papa
Kartari, The result of Shubha Kartari is good health and accumulation of money.
The Papa Kartari makes the native sickly and poor.
2. If benefics occupy the second house from the ascendant and are not aspected
by malefics, it makes Shubha Yoga. The native has a good face and is wealthy.
3. If Mercuy, Jupiter or Venus occupy any of the three houses, namely the sixth,
seventh and eight, as counted form the ascendant, it constitutes Adhi Yoga. The
native is wealthy and occupies a good position; if less than three are present
the Yoga will not be so strong.
4. If all the three benefics, Mercury, Jupiter and Venus are tin Upachaya houses
(i.e. the third, sixth, tenth and eleventh from the ascendant), the Yoga is
called Ati-vasuman. The native is very wealthy.
If instead of the three benefics, only two benefics are present, the Yoga formed
is less powerful and would be the least powerful if only one benefic is in
Upachaya. The Yoga is not marred if alongwith benefics a malefic or malefics are
also present.
5. If Mercury , Jupiter and Venus be in the ascendant and Saturn in the Seventh
, the native is very rich and leads a very luxurious life.
6. If Jupiter be in the ascendant, Mars in the Second, Venus and sun in the
fourth, the moon in the tenth and Saturn in the eleventh, the native become a
ruler. Planets should not be in their signs of debilitation.
7. If Mars and Saturn are in the ascendant, the Moon in the fourth, Jupiter in
the seventh, Venus in the ninth, the Sun in the tenth and Mercury in the
eleventh, the native becomes rich and powerful.
8. If a strong Mercury is in the ascendant, a powerful benefic in the ninth and
the other planets in the second, third, sixth, ninth, tenth and eleventh houses
(distributed in one or more) the native becomes rich and powerful.
9. If the longitude of Venus is in the initial 13º 20` of the sign Aries, and
the sign Aries is rising and Venus is fully aspected by the Moon, Mars, Jupiter
and Saturn, the native occupies an outstanding and high position.
10. If the rising sign is Pisces and the rising degree is between 26º 40' to 30º
in Pisces, the native occupies a very high position in life. He may be equal to
a king.
11. When Rahu is in the ascendant and Moon, Mercury and Venus are in angles, the
natives action are of a low order.
12. If Mars and Saturn together occupy the ascendant and the lord of the
ascendant is in the second, eighth or the twelfth house and if the benefics do
not occupy angles, the native will be sickly throughout his life.
13. Jupiter in ascendant, except in Capricorn, confers a good Yoga.
14. If Mars is in Aries Leo or Sagittarius in the ascendant and is aspected by a
friend, the native owns large properties and occupies a good rank.

LORD OF ASCENDANT AS A FACTOR
1. If the lord of the ascendant is strong and the lords of the fourth and the
ninth are in angles from each other, i.e. the lord of the fourth is conjoined
with the lord of the ninth or in fourth seventh or tenth from the lord of the
ninth, the native is learned and wealthy and commands a good position and lives
a luxurious life.
2. If Venus is not in Virgo or in an enemy's sign and occupies the second house
and the lord of the ascendant is strong, the native is very wealthy and occupies
a very eminent position.
3. If the lord of the ascendant is strong and conjoined with the dispositor of
the Moon (the lord of the sign in which Moon is posited) and aspects the
ascendant, he will occupy an eminent and powerful place in life. He will be a
pushing temperament and achieve success in life.
4. If the lord of the ascendant is in his sign of exaltation and aspects the
Moon, the native acquires much wealth and the requisites for comfort and crushes
his enemies.
5. If the lord of the ascendant is strong and the lord of the ninth is not only
in his sign of exaltation but in the highest exaltation degree the native is of
handsome appearance, very learned and famous, and blessed in respect of wife and
sons. He owns large properties.
6. If the lord of the ascendant is in the second (in a sign which is not his
sign of debilitation of his enemy's sign) and is conjoined with Venus, the
native is very wealthy with various luxuries at his command.

SUN AS A FACTOR
1. If the lord of the fifth, Jupiter and Saturn are in their respective signs of
exaltation, own signs or in friends signs and occupy an angle or trine, the
resultant Yoga is called Viranchi. The native will have knowledge of the self,
will be highly devoted and long lived, learned, much respected and will lead a
happy life. If the Sun is also strong, there will be still better results.
2. If at birth the Sun is in the tenth degree of Libra, the native though born a
king's son, lives on alms and charity.
3. If Sun is in Leo, except in 3º 20' to 6º 40' or 20º to 23º 20' and Mercury is
in Virgo, the native though born in an humble position rises very high in life.
4. (i.) If the Sun occupies any of the following degrees
13º 20' to 16º 40' in Aries, Leo and Sagittarius
23º 20' to 26º 40' in Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn
3º 20' to 6º 40' in Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces
(ii.) and Moon is in Cancer, it is a good Raja Yoga.
5. If the Sun is in Aries in the ascendant, Jupiter and Venus in Pisces, Saturn
in Libra and full Moon is aspected by Mars, the native will be a king commanding
a large army.
6. If there is a benefic planet, other than the Moon, in second from the Sun, it
consititutes Veshi Yoga, if there is a benefic planet, other than the Moon in
twelfth from the Sun it constitutes Vashi Yoga; if there are benefic planets in
both adjacent signs to the one occupied by the Sun, it gives to Ubhayachari
Yoga. All these three Yogas if formed by benefics are good for wealth and
status. The converse is the case if formed by malefics.
back to top
MOON AS A FACTOR
1. If the planet other than the Sun occupies the second sign as counted from the
sign occupies by the Moon it constitutes Sunapha Yoga. If any planet other than
the Sun occupies the sign twelfth from that occupied by the Moon, this is called
Anapha Yoga. If there are planets other than the Sun in signs, i.e. adjacent to
the sign tenanted by the Moon, it is called Durudhara Yoga. The Sun in second or
twelfth from the Moon does not mar the Yoga, but is not taken into consideration
for constituting the Yoga. All these three Yogas are good for wealth and
prosperity.
2. If there is o planet (Sun, Rahu and Ketu are not taken into account in Yogas
1 and 2) on either side (adjacent to the Moon sign), it is called Kemadruma Yoga
and the result is poverty. There is one exception to this Yoga. If Jupiter is in
the first, fourth, seventh or tenth house from the Moon, it cancels the
Kemadruma Yoga.
3. Adhi Yoga is also formed if instead of counting from the ascendant, the three
benefics occupy the three houses-the sixth, seventh and eighth as counted from
the Moon.
In I (3) and IV (3) above it is not necessary that Mercury, Jupiter and Venus
be in the sixth, seventh or eighth house in regular order. They can all be in
one house, or in any two houses or in three different houses; but these houses
must be sixth, seventh and eighth. Nor is the Yoga cancelled if along with
benefics there are malefics, though the power is impaired. If instead of the
three benefics only one is present, 33% of the good effects will be felt; if
there are two benefics, the good effects will be 66%, while if all the above
three are present, good results will be obtained in full. Such a native is
wealthy and occupies a good position in life.
One point must be clarified. In considering this Yoga it has to be judged from
the ascendant (see I(3) above) or independently from the Moon. We cannot mix up
the two, by saying Mercury is in the sixth from the Moon and Jupiter seventh or
sixth from the ascendant and so an Adhi Yoga is formed. If however the Moon is
in the ascendant, the Adhi Yoga will be formed by benefics in the sixth, seventh
and eighth from the ascendant.
This will be one Adhi Yoga. Another Adhi Yoga will be formed from the Moon. And
thus a double set of Adhi Yoga will be formed which will be doubly good.
4. If all the three benefics, Mercury, Jupiter and Venus, are in the third
sixth, tenth or eleventh house from the Moon, the Vasuman Yoga is formed. For
result and other particulars see Yoga I (4).
5. If the Moon is in the third, sixth, ninth or twelfth house from the Sun, the
native is courteous, intelligent, learned, wealthy and clever. If the Moon is in
the second, fifth, eighth or eleventh from the Sun, the above qualities are of
medium order. If the Moon is in the first, fourth, seventh or tenth from the
Sun, the above good qualities are at their minimum.
6. If the Moon is in an angle from Jupiter it constitutes Gaja Kesari Yoga. The
native is long-lived, wealthy and prosperous. If both the planets are in angles
from the ascendant also, it is a more powerful Yoga.
7. If the Moon is in the sixth, eighth or twelfth house from Jupiter, it
constitutes Shakata Yoga. The native undergoes a cycle of prosperity and
adversity like a wheel; for a period he is prosperous and this is followed by a
period of adversity, then again a prosperous period, and so on. If the Moon is
in angle from the ascendant the above Yoga is not formed.
8. If the Moon and Jupiter are in their own signs or in their respective signs
of exaltation and posited in the first, fourth, fifth, seventh, ninth or tenth
house and resultant Yoga is called Gauri. The native leads a comfortable life
and is well honoured by the government.
9. If the Moon and Mars are together, the native is always rich; of course the
effects would differ in intensity according to the sing and house position and
according to the houses these planets are lords of.
10. If a full Moon occupies the fourth, seventh or tenth house and is aspected
by Jupiter and Venus, the native verily occupies a very high position and has
real splendour.
11. If the full Moon is in the ascendant in Taurus, Venus in Libra and Mercury
in the fourth house, the native occupies a very high rank.

SIGN POSITIONS
1. If all the seven planets are posted in Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio,
Sagittarius and Capricorn, the native has push. He is courageous and is dynamic.
All the six signs referred to need not be tenanted.
2. If all the seven planets are in Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini and
Cancer, the native is mild, prosperous and fortunate. All the six signs need not
be tenanted.
3. If the benefics occupy angles and tenant the signs owned by benefics and the
malefics occupy the signs owned by malefics, the native is wealthy and is a
leader of daring people.
4. If Mercury is fully aspected by Jupiter, the native is very intelligent and
wise and even eminent people abide by his advice.
5. (i.) If one planet is in his own sign, the native's status will be in keeping
with his family status;
(ii.) if the number of planets in own signs is two, he will be the head of the
family;
(iii.) if three planets are in own signs, the native will command respect from
the whole of his clan;
(iv) if four planets are so placed, he will be very wealthy;
(v) if the number of planets in own signs is five, he will lead a happy life;
(vi) if six planets are so placed he will have all comforts and luxuries at his
command and enjoy them;
(vii) if seven planets occupy their own signs, he will be a king or equal to one
and occupy an eminent position and have all the paraphernalia of royalty.
6. (i.) If malefics are in the first fifteen degrees of odd signs or in the last
fifteen degrees of even signs, the native is strong, pushing, industrious, very
courageous and wealthy.
(ii.) If benefics are in the last fifteen degrees of odd signs or in the first
fifteen degrees of even signs, the native is handsome, soft, benevolent and
fortunate. His speech is sweet and manners endearing
7. Venus aspected by Jupiter confers wealth.

EXALTATION OR OWN SIGN
1. Mars or Mercury or Jupiter or Venus or Saturn, any of these five planets in
his own sign or in his sign of exaltation, if occupying the first, fourth,
seventh or tenth house from the ascendant or the Moon constitutes a Mahapurusha
Yoga. Mahapurusha means a great man and the angular position of any of these
five non-luminaries in an angle, as described above, ensures wealth and a good
position in life. Thus Mars in Aries, Scorpio or Capricorn in an angle
constitutes Ruchaka Yoga; Mercury in Gemini or Virgo in an angle constitutes
Bhadra Yoga; Jupiter in an angle in Cancer, Sagittarius or Pisces constitutes
Hansa Yoga; Venus in Taurus, Libra or Pisces in an angle constitutes Malavya
Yoga; Saturn in Libra, Capricorn or Aquarius constitutes Shasha Yoga. These are
five independent Yogas comprised by Mahapurusha Yoga.
2. If three or more planets are in exaltation, the native becomes a king.
Similar is the result if five planets are in their own signs. But if the
malefics are strong, the native would be cruel; if benefics are strong, the
native would be of a benevolent nature.
3. If the Sun is in Aries, Moon in Taurus and Saturn in Aquarius and one of
these in the ascendant, it is a Raja Yoga. The native occupies a high position.
4. If Mercury is in Gemini, Jupiter in Leo, and Mars in Scorpio and one of them
is in the ascendant, the same effects as in (3) above.
5. If Saturn and Moon be exalted and one of them is in the ascendant and the Sun
and Mercury are in Virgo, Mars in Aries, Jupiter in Cancer and Venus in Libra,
this combination constitutes a powerful Raja Yoga.
6. If the Sun, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, all the four are in their respective
signs of exaltation and one of these four is in the ascendant, it constitutes a
Raja Yoga of a high order.
7. The Yoga given in (6) above is also caused when instead of the four planets
above named, only three are in their respective signs of exaltation and one of
them is in the ascendant. Same result as in (6) above but in lesser measure.
8. The yoga in (6) above is also formed if instead of the four planets
above-named only tow are in their respective signs of exaltation and one of them
is in the ascendant and the Moon is in Cancer. Same result as in (5) above
materialise.
Note: By permutation and combination, (6), (7) and (8) will give rise to
sixteen types of birth charts.
9. If the lord of the ninth and Venus be in their own signs or in their
respective signs of exaltation and posited in the first, fourth, fifth, seventh,
ninth or tenth house, it is called Lakshmi Yoga. The native is wealthy and
enjoys a luxurious life.
10. If the lord of the sign, occupied by the lord of the ascendant is in his own
sign or sign of exaltation in an angle or trine from the ascendant it
constitutes a Yoga. The native is powerful, rich and owns lands. He is much
respected.
11. Suppose X is the sign on the ascendant and A is the lord of the sign. Now A
is posited in sin Y and B is the lord of sign Y. Now suppose B occupies the sign
Z and C is the lord of sing Z. Then if the planet C is in an angle or trine from
the ascendant, in his own sign or sign of exaltation, the resultant Yoga is
called Kahala. The native is very rich, benevolent, and wealthy.
12. If exalted Moon is in the ascendant and the Sun, Jupiter and Saturn are
respectively in the fourth, seventh and tenth houses the native will no doubt
becomes a king.
13. If Saturn in Capricorn is in the ascendant, the Moon in Pisces, Mars in
Gemini. Mercury in Virgo, Jupiter in Sagittarius, the native becomes a king.
14. If Mars be in Capricorn, Jupiter in Sagittarius and if Mercury in Virgo is
in the ascendant, or if Venus in Pisces is in the ascendant, the native becomes
a king.
15. If exalted Jupiter is in the ascendant, the Moon, Mercury and Venus are in
Taurus, and the Sun in Aries, the native is very courageous and becomes a king.
16. If the Moon in Pisces is in the ascendant, Saturn in Aquarius, Mars in
Capricorn, and the Sun in Leo, the native becomes a ruler.
17. If Mars in Aries is in the ascendant and Jupiter in Cancer, the native is
endowed with many qualities and becomes a ruler.
18. If exalted Jupiter is in the ascendant and Mars in Aries is in the tenth,
same results as in (17) above are expected.
19. If Saturn in Capricorn is in the ascendant, Mars in Aries, the Moon in
Cancer, Sun in Leo, Mercury in Virgo, and Venus in Libra, the native becomes a
mighty king.
20. If Mercury in Virgo is in the ascendant, the Sun in Leo, Venus in Gemini,
Moon and Jupiter in the seventh, Mars and Saturn in the fifth, the native
becomes a king.
21. Even one planet exalted in the ascendant conjoined with a friend and
aspected by a friend, makes one wealthy.
22. If five or more planets are exalted or in their own signs and are in angles,
the native though born in their own signs and are in angles, the native though
born in an ordinary family becomes a king or equal to a king or holds an equally
eminent position.
Note: While judging 15 and 16 above please examine that there is no evil Yoga or
Yogas and the planets are not combust.

HOUSE POSITIONS
1. If benefics are in the tenth house from the Moon, it constitutes Amla Yoga.
The native will be of righteous conduct, benevolently inclined, wealthy and
prosperous and will occupy a good position in life.
2. If benefics occupy the tenth house from the ascendant then also Amla Yoga is
caused and the result will be the same as in (I) above.
3. (a) If Mercury, Jupiter and Venus occupy any of the following houses, first
second, fourth, fifth, seventh, ninth or tenth and
(b) if Jupiter is in his exaltation or occupies his own or a friend's sign,
Saraswati Yoga is formed. The native will be very intelligent, learned, famous,
and fortunate. He may be a good poet.
4. If Mercury, Jupiter and Venus or the Moon occupy the ninth house and are with
bright rays, i.e. not combust, and are conjoined or aspected by friends, the
native rises to a very exalted position.
5. If all the seven planets* occupy one sign, it is called Gola Yoga. The native
would be poor and associate with low people. He will be devoid of wealth. His
actions will be sinful. He will be indolent and will have a short life.
6. If all the seven planets occupy two signs, it constitutes Yuga Yoga. The
native will be poor and hypocrite.
7. If all the seven planets occupy three signs, it constitutes Shoola Yoga. The
native will be cruel, ill tempered and lead an indigent life.
8. If the seven planets occupy four signs, it is called Kedara Yoga. The native
will own agricultural lands and will be rich.
9. If all the seven planets are in five signs, the Yoga is called Pasha. The
native will have financial affluence, good relatives, will be of good conduct,
and enjoy life.
10. If the seven planets occupy six signs, the Yoga is called Dama. The native
will be benevolently inclined, generous, and occupy a good position in life.
11. If the seven planets occupy seven signs, it constitutes Veena Yoga. It is
also called Vallaki Yoga. The native will be fond of singing, dancing, and all
arts and will be rich.
12. In Yogas (5) to (11) above, the locations of planets need not be in
contiguous signs. We are now describing twelve Yogas in which the seven planets
occupy seven contiguous signs. If all the seven planets occupy seven contiguous
signs and no sign in between in untenanted by a planet then:
(i.) from the first to the seventh house, the native occupies a kingly position
and has a host of conveyances.
(ii.) From the second to the eighth house, the native is good looking, very
wealthy, persevering, endowed with many virtues, occupies a very high position
and is devoted to his father;
(iii.) From the third to the ninth house, the native is very courageous and
wealthy. He occupies a high rank but is sickly;
(iv.) From the fourth to the tenth house, the native enjoys the luxuries of many
kinds, is very generous and occupies a kingly position;
(v.) From the fifth to the eleventh house, the native performs Yajnas (religious
sacrificial worship according to religious codes), he earns name and fame and
occupies an outstandingly respected position;
(vi.) From the sixth to the twelfth house, the native is generally very poor;
only occasionally he will have a little money or comforts;
(vii.) From the seventh to the first house, the native is the darling of many
damsels and occupies a good rank in life;
(viii.) From the eighth to the second house, the native will be long-lived, but
without wealth; he will be henpecked or under the influence of women;
(ix.) From the ninth to the third house, the native is devoted to religious
austerities and worship. He is endowed with many qualities and occupies a good
position in life. He is wealthy and prosperous.
(x.) From the tenth to the fourth house, the native pursues useful activities.
He is devout and religious and is respected by gentle folk;
(xi.) From the eleventh to the fifth house, he has a good woman as his wife,
possesses precious jewellery and is a capable administrator;
(xii.) from the twelfth to the sixth house, the native spends very heavily; is
respected everywhere.
In these twelve kinds of Malika Yoga, also called Ekavali one planet in each
sign successively-consideration has be paid whether the signs occupies are signs
of exaltation, own signs of signs of friends or enemies or signs of
debilitation. For example, if the Moon is in Cancer, the Sun in Leo, Mercury in
Virgo, Venus in Libra, Mars in Scorpio, Jupiter is Sagittarius and Saturn in
Capricorn it will be a powerful Malika Yoga. Conversely, if the planets are in
their sings of debilitation or in enemies signs, this will not be able to do
much good.
The placement of lords of houses and other features also from important factors
on which astrological delineations are based and naturally different shades of
effects will be produced according to the blending of influences.
13. If all the benefics occupy the fifth, sixth and seventh houses from the
ascendant, this constitutes Shubha Mala Yoga. The native will be wealthy and
occupy a good position in life.
14. If all the benefics occupy the sixth, eighth and twelfth houses from
ascendant, it is called Ashubha Mala Yoga and the result is evil. There will be
heavy expenses and the native will not be happy.
15. If Venus in Taurus or Libra is in the fourth, the Moon in the ninth and
other planets in the third, sixth and eleventh, the native owns land and rules
over it.
16. If the Moon, Venus and Saturn are in angles, Mars in the eighth and the Sun
in the twelfth (or both Sun and Mars in the eighth or twelfth), the native does
not stick to one place and has to face adversities in life.
17. If there are planets in the ascendant, fourth, seventh, ninth and tenth
houses and no planets occupy the eighth and twelfth, it is very good Yoga. The
native occupies an important position, has religious and benevolent
inclinations, is courteous, learned and wealthy.
18. If all the planets are in the first, fourth, seventh and tenth houses, the
native is very fortunate and occupies a prominent position. This Yoga is called
Mangal.
19. If all the planets are in the second fifth eight and eleventh houses, it
called Madhya Yoga. The effect is moderate wealth and position. Sometimes the
native accumulates money; at other times he is poor.
20. If all the planets are in the third, sixth, ninth and twelfth houses, the
Yoga is called Kleeva (literally, the work means impotent, but in this context
it means powerless). The native does not succeed in attaining a high position or
accumulating wealth. He generally leads a static existence and happiness and
comforts are not his.
21. If the Moon and Mars are together in the ascendant and Jupiter is in the
ninth or tenth house from the ascendant and the Sun in strong, the native will
be wealthy and occupy a high position in life.
22. If Mars and Saturn be in the first, fifth or tenth house and the full Moon
occupies the ninth house, the native occupies a very high rank.
23. If all the planets occupy angles and trines and any of them is in his sign
of exaltation, the native becomes a king or equal to a king; is very generous
and leads a luxurious life.
24. If the native is born on a Tuesday or Saturday and if the Sun and the Moon
are in the first, fifth or ninth house and if Jupiter is in the third, or in an
angle from the ascendant, the native will be fickle-minded like an insane
person.
25. If the Moon and Mercury are in angles from the ascendant and are not
aspected by their dispositors nor are they conjoined with other planets, the
native may suffer from schizophrenia or insanity.
26. If the Moon and Jupiter together are in an angle and aspected by Venus, this
confers great wealth and a good position provided that there is no planet in
debilitation.

LORD OF FIRST TO TWELFTH HOUSES
1. (a) If the lord of the first, second, fourth, fifth, seventh, ninth, tenth or
eleventh house mutually changes place with any of the lords of houses grouped
above, it is a Maha Yoga. For example, the lord of the first in the eleventh and
the lord of the eleventh in first or lord of the second in the eleventh and lord
of the eleventh in the second; or lord of the fourth in the tenth and lord of
the tenth in the fourth, and so on. There is increase in respect of good luck
pertaining to the houses involved.
(b) If any lord of the first, second, fourth, fifth, seventh, ninth, tenth or
the eleventh house changes place with the lord of the third, it is called Khala
Yoga. For example, the lord of the tenth is in the third and the lord of the
third in the tenth; or the lord of the third in the fourth and lord of the
fourth in the third. This is a bad Yoga called Khala.
(c) If the lord of a house stated in caluse (a) above changes place with the
lord of the sixth, eighth or twelfth house, it is called Dainya Yoga.
The sixth, eighth and twelfth houses are called Trik. They are also called
Dusthanas. So if the lord of the first, second, fourth, fifth, seventh, ninth,
tenth or the eleventh house exchanges place with the lord or a Trik, it will
constituted Dainya Yoga, a pulling down weight for luck and prosperity. Dainya
Yoga is worse than Khala Yoga.
Thus by permutation and combination there will be 66 yogas.
(i.) Lord of the first, second, fourth, fifth, seventh, ninth, tenth or eleventh
house mutually changing places: 28 yogas (Maha Yoga).
(ii.) Lord of the twelfth changing places with lords of the remaining eleven
houses; 11 yogas (Dainya Yoga).
(iii.) Lord of the eighth changing places with lords of houses from first to
eleventh: 10 Yogas (Dainya Yoga).
(iv.) Lord of the sixth changing places with lords of any house from first to
eleventh (except 8th covered by (iii) above): 9 Yogas (Dainya Yoga).
(v.) Lord of the third changing place with lords of the first, second, fourth,
fifth, seventh, ninth, tenth or eleventh: 8 Yogas (Khala Yoga).
Thus we get 28 Maha Yogas, 8 Khala Yogas and 30 Dainya Yogas. In the delineation
of effects, the sign positions, whether by changing places a planet will be
occupying his sign of exaltation or own sign or a sign of debilitation should be
attached due weight.
For example, if the rising sign is Scorpio, the lord of the first (Mars)
occupies the ninth (Cancer, the sign of debilitation of Mars) and the ninth lord
(Moon) occupies the first (Scorpio the sign in which the Moon is debilitated).
This cannot be so powerful a combination for good as when Leo is rising and the
lord of the ninth (Mars) is in Leo in the first and the lord of the first
exalted in Aries in the ninth.
This principle has also to be applied to Dainya Yogas. Suppose Libra is the
rising sign and the lord of the first (Venus) is exalted in the sixth and the
sixth lord (Jupiter) is in the first. This will not be so evil. All these
different shades arising out of sign positions must be taken into account. Here
we have stated the goodness or otherwise arising out of a mutual exchange or
places between house lords.
2. If a house is tenanted by a benefic or aspected by benefics and the lord of
the house is well placed and in his own sign or sign of exaltation and not
combust, twelve Yogas (one pertaining to each house respectively) are formed. If
the house and house lord fulfill the conditions laid down above and it is the:-
(i.) first house: the Yoga is Chamar. One born in this Yoga gains eminence and
prosperity like a waxing moon. He is wealthy, long-lived, famous and occupies a
high position.
(ii.) Second house : the Yoga is Dhenu. The native will have delicious food and
drinks and be learned, and wealthy, and have a large family.
(iii.) Third house: the Yoga formed is Shourya. The native's younger brothers
will be famous and respect the native; he will himself be very courageous, earn
name and fame and will engage in governmental work.
(iv.) Fourth house: the Yoga constituted is Jaladhi. The native has agricultural
lands, cattle, property, conveyances a good wife and home comforts. He will
engage in governmental work; will also be inclined to construct wells and tanks.
He holds a good position in life.
(v.) Fifth house: the Yoga formed in Chhatra. The native will have a happy home
life, a good wife and children. He will speak sweetly; be intelligent and
learned. The native earns a good name and fame and will be a minister,
counseller or adviser to the government of hold an equally eminent position.
(vi.) Sixth house: The Yoga is called Astra. The native is strong, proud and
powerful. He subdues his opponents by sheer force. He has undaunted courage and
a combative spirit and may have scars of wounds on his body.
(vii.) Seventh house: the Yoga constituted is Kama. He will have a good wife and
children and will be attached to his own wife. He will rise to a rank higher
than that of his father, and will be prosperous and happy.
(viii.) Eighth house: the Yoga is called Asura. The native is selfish, a
back-biter and malevolent, always causing harm to others. He is poor and commits
low acts and has to face trouble due to them. In short, the temperament, the
inclination and behaviour are malevolent and he suffers in life.
(ix.) Ninth house: the Yoga formed is Bhagya because the ninth house is called
Bhagya-which means good luck and prosperity of all kinds. The native will be
lucky and prosperous in all respects, wealthy, command respect and occupy a good
position in life. He will be religious and devoted to God.
(x.) Tenth house: the Yoga constituted is Khyati, which in Sanskrit means fame.
The native will be wealthy and prove a good ruler or administrator. He will be
renowned.
(xi.) Eleventh house: the Yoga is called Suparijata. The native will have a good
income and will be wealthy; he will have a large family and there will be a
chain of auspicious festivities. He will be learned, fond of hearing religious
discourses and be of a righteous conduct.
(xii.) Twelfth house: The Yoga formed is called Musala, which in Sanskrit means
a big pestle. The native will become wealthy by earning money through much hard
labour and difficulties, he will spend money only on worthy objects; he will be
very active and talkative; will be over-powered by his opponents. After death he
attains heaven.
Note: For judging the effects of a house , how far the Yoga is fulfilled,
five factors must be present: (i.) the house should be tenanted by a benefic;
(ii) the house should be aspected by a benefic or benefics; (iii) the house lord
should not be combust; (iv) the house lord should be in an angle or trine or in
a good place; (v) the house lord should be in his own sign or sign of
exaltation. Though it has not been stated in the text, yet if any of the
following adverse factors are present, the Yoga will be tarnished and will be
incapable giving rise to the full effects of the Yoga; (i.) If malefics tenant
the house; in this the connection it has to be borne in mind is that a malefic
in his own sign in not evil; but a malefic in his own house, if it is in the
twelfth house from the ascendant it will give rise to heavy expenditure (ii.)
The house is aspected by malefics. (iii.) The house lord is in undesirable
degrees. For undesirable degrees for each planet in each sign readers are
referred to Chapter 8. (iv) If the house lord is conjoined with or aspected by
malefics.
Again, all benefics will not behave equally. Jupiter is a benefic but he will
have different shades of effects, (i.) accoridng to the sign he is in, as for
example, Jupiter in Cancer will be far different from Jupiter in Capricorn; (ii)
according to the house of which the planet is the lord as for example, Jupiter
as lord of the first and the fourth house will have effects which Jupiter as
lord of the third and the sixth cannot have.
Therefore, readers are requested to develop their own faculties of
discrimination and judgement which is necessary to appraise an individual chart.
No set of rules can provide for all contingencies and all the permutations and
combinations possible.
3. If the lord of a house is an evil place or the house tenants or is aspected
by a malefic, twelve yogas one for each house arise: if the house affected is
the
(i) First house: the Yoga is called Avayoga, which in Sanskrit means a bad Yoga.
The native has an uneventful life of poverty. He will suffer many humiliations;
his company will be of low and wicked people. This Yoga impairs health and
longevity is curtailed.
(ii) Second house: the Yoga constituted is know as Niswa, which in Sanskrit
means without wealth. The native has bad teeth, poor eye-sight or the eyes may
have some defects; his power of speech is not good; his enemies appropriate his
wealth; he is neither intelligent nor learned.
(iii) Third house: The Yoga formed is Mriti. The native is without brothers or
there is no happiness from them. His wealth and strength are undermined; he is
not even tempered; his efforts are misdirected and end in failure and
frustration. The native lacks in courage and there is a latent feeling of
timidity or an inferiority complex.
(iv) Fourth house: the Yoga is known as Kuhu. The native suffers in respect of
his mother, conveyances, friends, relations, apparel and happiness. The fourth
house is the house of ease, comfort, mental tranquillity and happiness and all
these are curtailed. He suffers in respect of his position and property also. He
is attached to an unworthy woman who may be his own wife or some other woman.
(v) Fifth house: the Yoga so formed is called Pamara. The native tells lies; he
lacks in the finer sense of discrimination, cheats others, does not believe in
God or religion; has evil company. He may have no sons or there may be premature
death of sons or no happiness from them.
(vi) Sixth house: the Yoga is called Harsha, which in Sanskrit means happiness
or delight. If the sixth lord is placed in a Dusthana, it gives rise to happy
circumstances. The native has a strong body; he does not indulge in evil acts
and has o evil intentions; he enjoys happiness, luxuries and good fortune;
overcomes his enemies; is a favourite of eminent people; has wealth, good
friends and sons and earns name and fame for himself.
(vii) Seventh house: the Yoga has been named Dushkrit (which literally means
evil actions). The result is separation, inclination for liaisons with others,
wives, wandering aimlessly, venereal or urinary diseases such as spermatorrhoea,
diabetes; trouble from government. The native is despised by his relations and
suffers.
(viii) Eighth house: the Yoga is called Sarala, which means easy. It is good to
have the eighth lord in the sixth or eighth or twelfth house. If a malefic, he
would spoil the twelfth, but whether a benefic or malefic, if the lord of the
eighth is in a Dusthana it fortifies the eighth house. The native is long-lived,
of a strong mind, fearless, learned, wealthy, blessed with sons. He overcomes
his enemies is famous and the work he undertakes is accomplished successfully.
(ix) Ninth house: the Yoga is called Nirbhagya which means luckless. He brings
about ruin of immovable ancestral property by neglect, or by mortgaging or
selling it away under financial pressure; is irreligious, talks ill of and does
not respect his religious preceptors and ascetics; is poorly dressed, and
suffers much distress.
(x) Tenth house: the Yoga is known as Duryoga. Whatever the native undertakes,
despite his strenuous efforts, ends in frustration and disappointment. He
suffers humiliation in society, lives at place other than his homeland and leads
an unhappy life. The native is antagonistic to others and suffers distress.
(xi) Eleventh house: this Yoga is known as Daridra, which means poverty. The
native incurs heavy debts and is poor. He is not good tempered; has no good
brothers; may suffer from diseases of the ear. He runs errands for others, i.e.,
occupies a subordinate position. His speech is not good and his actions are not
commendable.
(xii) Twelfth house: the Yoga is called Vimala, which means free from blemish.
Like the lords of the sixth and the eighth, it is good for the lord of the
twelfth to be in Trik or Dusthana. The native does not spend much and
accumulates wealth; is agreeable to all people and is liked by them. He leads an
independent life and is happy. He follows an honourable profession and is known
for his good qualities.

RETROGRADE PLANETS
Even a single planet, though he be debilitated, if occupying a good house is
retrograde and not combust, it raises high the native's status. Should there be
two or three such planets, the native attains a very high rank and position in
life.

KENDRA TRIKONA YOGA
The Kendra-Trikona Yoga is abbreviated to as K.T. Yoga. The first, fourth,
seventh and tenth houses are called Kendras or angles. The fifth and the ninth
houses are called Trikonas or trines. The first house is both a Kendra and a
Trikona. This K.T. Yoga means any of the following Yogas:
Sambandha between
i. Lords of the first and fifth
ii. Lords of the first and ninth
iii. Lords of the fourth and fifth
iv. Lords of the fourth and ninth
v. Lords of the seventh and fifth
vi. Lords of the seventh and ninth
vii. Lords of the tenth and fifth
viii. Lords of the tenth and ninth
For certain purposes the first house is considered as a Trikona also, but the
convention is not to call the Sambandha between (i.) and (iii) lords of the
first and tenth a K.T. Yoga, although a Sambandha between (i.) lords of the
first, and fourth, and (ii) the first and tenth is considered a Raja Yoga- a
very good Yoga.
