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 10 & 5 in VirgoMars MD · 1939–1946
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.
- Venus (lord of H4) conjunct with Moon (lord of H1) in CapricornMoon MD · 1936–1939

The 6th lord confined to a dusthana neutralizes obstacles and enemies. Challenges transform into unexpected advantages, and health resilience is strengthened.
- Jupiter (6th lord) placed in house 6Jupiter MD · 1964–1980
Sarala Yoga
The 8th lord contained within a dusthana protects against sudden upheavals. You have an unusual ability to navigate crises and emerge stronger.
- Saturn (8th lord) placed in house 8Saturn MD · 1980–1999
Vimala Yoga
The 12th lord restricted to a dusthana minimizes unnecessary losses and expenses. Spiritual wisdom grows without the typical sacrifice of material comfort.
