Yogas in the chart
Classical combinations present at birth, and the Mahadasha that ripened each one.
Raj Yoga
2 combinationsA 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.
- Venus (lord of H9) placed in kendra (house 1)
- Mercury (lord of H1/10) in mutual aspect with Saturn (lord of H5) in Scorpio
Dhana Yoga
The 2nd lord (wealth and family resources) placed in a kendra or trikona brings financial stability through personal effort and favourable circumstances.
- Venus (2nd lord) strongly placed in house 1 (Virgo)
Hamsa Yoga
Jupiter in its strongest position grants wisdom, ethical grounding, and good fortune. You attract respect through knowledge and are inclined toward teaching or guiding others.
- Jupiter in own sign in Sagittarius (house 4 from Lagna)Jupiter MD · 1932–1948
