Yogas in the chart
Classical combinations present at birth, and the Mahadasha that ripened each one.
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 Leo (23° apart)Mercury MD · 2012–2029
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 10 & 5 in Scorpio
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.
- Saturn (lord of H7) in mutual aspect with Moon (lord of H1) in Aries
