Yogas in the chart
Classical combinations present at birth, and the Mahadasha that ripened each one.
Raj Yoga (Yogakaraka)
Mars 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.
- Mars is Yogakaraka — lord of houses 4 & 9 in LibraMars MD · 1996–2003
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.
- Jupiter (lord of H5) placed in kendra (house 4)Jupiter MD · 1901–1917
Harsha Yoga
The 6th lord confined to a dusthana neutralizes obstacles and enemies. Challenges transform into unexpected advantages, and health resilience is strengthened.
- Saturn (6th lord) placed in house 12Saturn MD · 1917–1936
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.

The life
John Logie Baird was a Scottish inventor, electrical engineer and entrepreneur associated with the early practical development of television.
He demonstrated moving silhouette images in 1925 and true television images in 1926, then helped develop early long-distance, transatlantic, colour and stereoscopic television demonstrations.
His mechanical system was later overtaken by electronic television, but he remained active in colour and three-dimensional television research until the 1940s.
