Classical combinations present at birth, and the Mahadasha that ripened each one.
Dhana Yoga
The 2nd lord (wealth and family resources) placed in a kendra or trikona brings financial stability through personal effort and favourable circumstances.
- Moon (2nd lord) strongly placed in house 1 (Gemini)Moon MD · 2050–2060
Harsha Yoga
The 6th lord confined to a dusthana neutralizes obstacles and enemies. Challenges transform into unexpected advantages, and health resilience is strengthened.
- Mars (6th lord) placed in house 12Mars MD · 2060–2067
Raj Yoga
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.
- Saturn (lord of H9) placed in kendra (house 7)Saturn MD · 1981–2000
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.
