Yogas in the chart
Classical combinations present at birth, and the Mahadasha that ripened each one.
Raj Yoga
A trikona lord placed in a kendra creates Raj Yoga by position — the auspiciousness of the trikona combines with the power of the kendra. This supports recognition, authority, and purposeful achievement.
- Sun (lord of H9) placed in kendra (house 1)Sun MD · 2005–2011
Dhana Yoga
The conjunction of the 2nd lord (accumulated wealth) and 11th lord (gains and income) creates a powerful wealth combination. Financial growth comes through the significations of these planets.
