Yogas in the chart
Classical combinations present at birth, and the Mahadasha that ripened each one.
Bhadra Yoga
Mercury at full strength sharpens your intellect, communication skills, and ability to learn quickly. You have a natural talent for analysis, writing, and business.

Budha-Aditya Yoga

The life
The 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, is the highest spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism. Born Lhamo Thondup in northeastern Tibet, he was recognized as the reincarnation of the 13th Dalai Lama as a child.
After the 1959 Tibetan uprising he fled to India, where he established the Central Tibetan Administration in exile. He has traveled widely as an advocate for Tibetan culture, nonviolence, interfaith dialogue and human rights, and received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989.
