Yogas in the chart
Classical combinations present at birth, and the Mahadasha that ripened each one.
Vimala Yoga
The 12th lord restricted to a dusthana minimizes unnecessary losses and expenses. Spiritual wisdom grows without the typical sacrifice of material comfort.
- Venus (12th lord) placed in house 8Venus MD · 2012–2032
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.
- Saturn (lord of H9) placed in kendra (house 7)Saturn MD · 1969–1988
Dhana Yoga
The 2nd lord (wealth and family resources) placed in a kendra or trikona brings financial stability through personal effort and favourable circumstances.
- Moon (2nd lord) strongly placed in house 4 (Virgo)
