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.
- Sun (lord of H9) placed in kendra (house 1)
- Mars (lord of H5) placed in kendra (house 10)
Dhana Yoga
A wealth lord placed in the house of the other wealth lord creates a natural flow of resources. This supports steady financial accumulation and income growth.
