Yogas in the chart

Classical combinations present at birth, and the Mahadasha that ripened each one.

Raj Yoga

2 combinations

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.

  • Jupiter (lord of H1/4) in mutual aspect with Mars (lord of H5) in LibraJupiter MD · 1892–1908
  • Sun (lord of H9) placed in kendra (house 1)

Dhana Yoga

The 2nd lord (wealth and family resources) placed in a kendra or trikona brings financial stability through personal effort and favourable circumstances.

  • Saturn (2nd lord) strongly placed in house 10 (Virgo)

The life

Swami Vivekananda, born Narendranath Datta, was an Indian Hindu monk, philosopher, author and religious teacher, and the chief disciple of Ramakrishna.

He represented Hinduism at the 1893 World's Parliament of Religions in Chicago and subsequently taught Vedanta in the United States and England, becoming an influential interpreter of Indian spiritual thought in the West.

After returning to India, he founded the Ramakrishna Mission on 1 May 1897 to combine spiritual teaching with organized social service. He died at Belur Math on 4 July 1902, aged 39.
