Yogas in the chart
Classical combinations present at birth, and the Mahadasha that ripened each one.
Shasha Yoga
Saturn at full strength brings discipline, organizational skill, and the patience to build lasting structures. You gain authority through persistent, methodical effort.
- Saturn in own sign in Capricorn (house 7 from Lagna)
Vimala Yoga
The 12th lord restricted to a dusthana minimizes unnecessary losses and expenses. Spiritual wisdom grows without the typical sacrifice of material comfort.
- Mercury (12th lord) placed in house 6
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 (18° apart)
