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 Sagittarius (9° apart)Mercury MD · 1942–1953
Dhana Yoga
A wealth lord placed in the house of the other wealth lord creates a natural flow of resources. This supports steady financial accumulation and income growth.
- Venus (11th lord) placed in 2nd house
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.
- Sun (lord of H9) placed in kendra (house 1)Sun MD · 1980–1986
Sarala Yoga
The 8th lord contained within a dusthana protects against sudden upheavals. You have an unusual ability to navigate crises and emerge stronger.
