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.
- Sun (12th lord) placed in house 6Sun MD · 2047–2053
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 4 from Lagna)Jupiter MD · 1968–1984
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.
- Mercury (lord of H1/10) in mutual aspect with Saturn (lord of H5) in CapricornMercury MD · 2003–2020
