Yogas
Meaningful planetary combinations that concentrate karmic potential — the yogas of the Vedic classical tradition.
What are Yogas?
Yogas are meaningful planetary combinations that concentrate karmic potential in a chart.
Raj Yoga
Raj Yoga is formed when a lord of a kendra (angle) associates with a lord of a trikona (trine) — the classical formula for authority, dignity, and worldly rise.
Dhana Yoga
Dhana Yogas are wealth-forming combinations, classically between the lords of the 2nd, 5th, 9th, and 11th houses.
Gajakesari Yoga
Formed when Jupiter is in a kendra (1, 4, 7, or 10) from the Moon — the classical yoga of intelligence, popularity, and dignified success.
Budha Aditya Yoga
Formed when Mercury and the Sun sit together in the same sign — the yoga of intelligence, communication, and administrative gift.
Panch Mahapurusha Yoga
Five 'great person' yogas — Ruchaka (Mars), Bhadra (Mercury), Hamsa (Jupiter), Malavya (Venus), and Shasha (Saturn) — when one of these planets is in its own or exalted sign in a kendra.
Neecha Bhanga Raja Yoga
When a debilitated planet's weakness is cancelled by specific conditions, it can rise into a powerful Raj Yoga.
Vipreet Raj Yoga
The 'reverse Raj Yoga' — when lords of the difficult houses (6, 8, 12) sit in each other's houses, hardship converts into extraordinary rise.
Chandra Mangala Yoga
Formed when Moon and Mars conjoin, aspect, or exchange — a classical yoga for wealth through initiative.
