Yogas in the chart
Classical combinations present at birth, and the Mahadasha that ripened each one.
Raj Yoga
2 combinationsA 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.
