Yogas in the chart
Classical combinations present at birth, and the Mahadasha that ripened each one.
Gaja Kesari Yoga
Jupiter in a kendra from Moon creates Gaja Kesari — a yoga of wisdom, reputation, and lasting influence. It brings respect in social circles, good judgment, and the ability to inspire others.
- Jupiter in Aquarius (house 4 from Moon, house 9 from Lagna)
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.
- Jupiter (lord of H7/10) conjunct with Venus (lord of H5) in AquariusVenus MD · 1979–1999
Budha-Aditya Yoga
Mercury and Sun together (without combustion) create sharp intellectual clarity, strong communication skills, and recognition through knowledge. This combination favours careers in learning, teaching, and analytical fields.
