Yogas in the chart
Classical combinations present at birth, and the Mahadasha that ripened each one.
Hamsa Yoga
Jupiter in its strongest position grants wisdom, ethical grounding, and good fortune. You attract respect through knowledge and are inclined toward teaching or guiding others.
- Jupiter in own sign in Sagittarius (house 1 from Lagna)Jupiter MD · 1980–1996
Dhana Yoga
The 2nd lord (wealth and family resources) placed in a kendra or trikona brings financial stability through personal effort and favourable circumstances.
- Saturn (2nd lord) strongly placed in house 4 (Pisces)Saturn MD · 1996–2015
Vimala Yoga
