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 · 1824–1826
Harsha Yoga
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 12Jupiter MD · 1844–1860

Educational analysis built on a verified (A) birth record. The chart is calculated (Lahiri ayanamsa); life events are drawn from public sources. Mastroify does not claim the planets caused these events — they show how Vedic timing maps onto a documented life.
