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 (22° apart)Mercury MD · 2013–2030
Gaja Kesari Yoga
Jupiter in a kendra from Moon creates Gaja Kesari — a yoga of wisdom, reputation, and lasting influence. It brings respect in social circles, good judgment, and the ability to inspire others.
- Jupiter in Scorpio (house 4 from Moon, house 9 from Lagna)Jupiter MD · 1978–1994
Dhana Yoga
The 2nd lord (wealth and family resources) placed in a kendra or trikona brings financial stability through personal effort and favourable circumstances.
- Mars (2nd lord) strongly placed in house 5 (Cancer)Mars MD · 1953–1960
Harsha Yoga
The 6th lord confined to a dusthana neutralizes obstacles and enemies. Challenges transform into unexpected advantages, and health resilience is strengthened.
- Sun (6th lord) placed in house 6Sun MD · 1937–1943
Sarala Yoga
The 8th lord contained within a dusthana protects against sudden upheavals. You have an unusual ability to navigate crises and emerge stronger.
- Venus (8th lord) placed in house 6Venus MD · 1936–1937
Vimala Yoga
The 12th lord restricted to a dusthana minimizes unnecessary losses and expenses. Spiritual wisdom grows without the typical sacrifice of material comfort.
