Yogas in the chart
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 · 2019–2029
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 7 from Lagna)Jupiter MD · 1937–1950
Malavya Yoga
Venus in a powerful placement gives you refined taste, artistic sensibility, and relationship harmony. Material comforts and creative expression come naturally to you.
- Venus exalted in Pisces (house 10 from Lagna)Venus MD · 1993–2013
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.
- Venus (lord of H5) placed in kendra (house 10)Venus MD · 1993–2013
Gaja Kesari Yoga
Jupiter in a kendra from Moon creates Gaja Kesari — a yoga of wisdom, reputation, and lasting influence. It brings respect in social circles, good judgment, and the ability to inspire others.
- Jupiter in Sagittarius (house 7 from Moon, house 7 from Lagna)Jupiter MD · 1937–1950
