Yogas in the chart

Classical combinations present at birth, and the Mahadasha that ripened each one.

Raj Yoga

2 combinations

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.

  • Mercury (lord of H9) placed in kendra (house 1)
  • Mars (lord of H4) conjunct with Venus (lord of H5) in ScorpioVenus MD · 1939–1952

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 Capricorn (14° apart)

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 10 & 5 in ScorpioVenus MD · 1939–1952

Educational analysis built on a verified (A) birth record. The chart is calculated (Lahiri ayanamsa); life events are drawn from public sources. Mastroify does not claim the planets caused these events — they show how Vedic timing maps onto a documented life.
