Yogas in the chart
Classical combinations present at birth, and the Mahadasha that ripened each one.
Raj Yoga
2 combinationsThe 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.
- Sun (lord of H7) conjunct with Mercury (lord of H5) in Libra
- Mars (lord of H10) conjunct with Mercury (lord of H5) in Libra
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.
- Mercury and Sun conjunct in Libra (22° apart)
Harsha Yoga
The 6th lord confined to a dusthana neutralizes obstacles and enemies. Challenges transform into unexpected advantages, and health resilience is strengthened.
- Moon (6th lord) placed in house 8Moon MD · 1948–1958
Raj Yoga (Yogakaraka)
Venus 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.
- Venus is Yogakaraka — lord of houses 4 & 9 in Scorpio
Vimala Yoga
The 12th lord restricted to a dusthana minimizes unnecessary losses and expenses. Spiritual wisdom grows without the typical sacrifice of material comfort.
- Saturn (12th lord) placed in house 6Saturn MD · 1999–2018
