Raj Yoga (Yogakaraka)
Mars rules both a kendra and a trikona for your Lagna, making it the single most auspicious planet in your chart. Its placement and strength directly shape your career trajectory and life purpose.

Raj Yoga
The connection between a kendra lord and a trikona lord creates Raj Yoga — one of the most powerful combinations for success, recognition, and elevated status in life. This yoga supports authority and meaningful achievement.
