Article 102

Some people under strong influence of Hamsa Yoga may become famous in fields like religion or spiritualism and some of these people may achieve posts of authority in spiritual or religious organizations. When their overall horoscopes are supportive; they may start new religious or spiritual missions or faiths. They are also likely to be followed by a large number of devotees, depending on the overall themes of their horoscopes. Strong Hamsa Yoga in a horoscope may also bless the person with very good materialistic growth. Therefore, some people under strong influence of Hamsa Yoga may witness great fortunes and wealth through businesses, creative practices, fields like astrology and many other fields.

Starting with the basic rule; positive planets form good Yogas and negative planets form bad Yogas. Hence Jupiter must be a functional positive in a horoscope, in order for such horoscope to feature Hamsa Yoga. Negative Jupiter placed in any of these four houses in Cancer, Sagittarius or Pisces may not form Hamsa Yoga and it may form some defect in the horoscope. Such defect may trouble the person with various types of problems; depending on his overall horoscope. Negative planets can’t bless people with positive results in the long run, though they may sometimes give some temporary gains to some people, if their overall horoscopes are supportive for such gains.

Looking at the refined definition of this Yoga, if positive Jupiter is placed in the 1st, 4th, 7th or 10th house of a horoscope in Cancer, Sagittarius or Pisces, Hamsa Yoga is formed in such horoscope. This Yoga may bless the person with name, fame, success, authority, wealth, wisdom, kindness, spiritual growth, divine knowledge, philosophy, humanitarian interests and other good results, depending on the overall theme of his horoscope.

Once the formation of Hamsa Yoga is confirmed in a horoscope, the next thing to check is its strength. The strength of this Yoga is checked through the placement of Jupiter in various houses, signs, nakshatras and navamshas; as well as through the influences of other positive and negative planets on Jupiter in a horoscope. For example, the formation of Hamsa Yoga in the tenth house in Sagittarius may blesse the people with success through government services, politics, creative fields, businesses and many other fields; depending on their overall horoscopes. Hence such people may become administrative officers, revenue officers, police officers or other types of officers in government; politicians, ministers, actors, singers, writers, musicians, sportsmen, dancers, movie directors, producers, astrologers, spiritual gurus, religious heads and many other types of professionals.

Looking at nakshatras, if positive Jupiter forms Hamsa Yoga in the tenth house of a horoscope in Sagittarius in Moola nakshatra, the person may achieve success as a police officer, army officer, naval officer, air force officer, revenue officer, foreign services officer, doctor, scientist, actor, singer, writer, sportsman, astrologer, spiritual guru, religious guru, tantric, psychic and some other types of professional; depending on his overall horoscope. Some people may find it difficult to believe that a Yoga formed by a planet like positive Jupiter may bless the person with success in spheres which directly engage in one type of violence or another; since Jupiter is considered as a peace loving or spiritual planet. Moola nakshatra comes loaded with qualities like intensity, aggression, violence, destruction, deep insight and many other qualities. The addition of these qualities to Hamsa Yoga makes modifications to the working of this Yoga. Accordingly, the person may engage in acts of war and violence when this Yoga is formed in Moola nakshatra. Since Jupiter also rules religious and moral values of high order, the warriors or warheads produced by this formation of Hamsa Yoga find it easy to fight wars which they think are religiously or ethically right.

It means if Hamsa Yoga is formed in the tenth house in Moola nakshatra in the horoscope of a religious guru, such guru may command his followers to engage in religious or moral wars from time to time. Though much destruction may be done during such wars; the destruction may be justified since it is being done in order to serve higher purposes, according to the belief of such religious guru. Religious wars and religious crusades of different types may be announced by such religious heads; who are likely to be under the effect of this formation of Hamsa Yoga and who may also have strong and empowered Mars in their horoscopes; since no war may actually be fought without Mars. It should be noted that Moola nakshatra is a difficult to handle energy as it works like a double edged sword. Hence, if any negative planet is placed in this nakshatra; the results may be troublesome, very troublesome or disastrous; depending on the overall horoscope. For example, the placement of negative Jupiter in Moola nakshatra may corrupt the religious or moral values of the person. As a result, such person may either kill a number of people or get them killed if he holds a post of high authority; merely in order to prove that his religion, belief or race is superior to some other religion, belief or race.

When having great power or authority, such person may cause deaths of thousands or millions of people; who don’t belong to his religion, belief or race; as he may think such people have no right to live. However, when positive Jupiter forms Hamsa Yoga in Moola nakshatra, the person may have a very good sense of religious, moral and spiritual values. In such case, the person is not likely to wage wars in order to prove that his religion, belief or race is superior; but he may do so in order to protect his religion, belief or race. It is like the king or religious head with negative Jupiter in Moola nakshatra may start such war to suppress or destroy another religion, belief or race.

On the other hand, the king or religious head with Hamsa Yoga in Moola nakshatra may be the one who chooses to engage in war with the former, in order to protect his religion, belief or race. Hence negative Jupiter in Moola nakshatra is attacking with selfish motives whereas positive Jupiter forming Hamsa Yoga in Moola nakshatra is engaging in war to counteract such attack, in order to protect what he believes in. This is why Moola nakshatra is a double edged sword and difficult to handle energy since it may cause destruction on mass scale, when it is joined by negative planets.

Another interesting example of Hamsa Yoga in the tenth house in Moola nakshatra is that of the people who engage in the field of spiritualism; when supported by their overall horoscopes. The energy of Moola nakshatra may do its best job here since one such person may utilize all this destructive energy to destroy the enemies and demons lying within him. Hence such Hamsa Yoga may prove very beneficial when it comes to achieve purification through various techniques of meditation and Yoga. However, if negative Jupiter is placed in Moola nakshatra and the person engages in a spiritual field due to his overall horoscope; the results may become troublesome. Such person may observe too many fasts, he may subject his body to various types of punishments, hardships and tortures; and he may even destroy his body in extreme cases.

This is because such person may think that by doing so, he may achieve higher powers or liberation. Once again, the line is very fine. The person with Hamsa Yoga in Moola nakshatra may almost always know what to destroy, how much to destroy and what not to destroy. However, the person with negative Jupiter in Moola nakshatra may not know this difference and he may often end up destroying, what he should not be. It is like if the person with Hamsa Yoga in Moola nakshatra wants very hot water and he heats it up; he may go up to 99 degrees and then stop as he understands that at 100 degrees, water may start evaporating. The one with negative Jupiter in Moola may not know this difference and he may end up having no water; as he may keep on heating it; even beyond its boiling point.

When Jupiter forms Hamsa Yoga in the tenth house in Sagittarius in Poorvashada nakshatra, the person may achieve success as an actor, singer, writer, dancer, musician, fashion model, sportsman, politician, astrologer, religious guru, producer, director, businessman dealing in entertainment industry, sports industry, hospitality industry, luxury industry, information and technology, tour and travel industry; and many other types of professional; depending on his overall horoscope. Poorvashada adds qualities like hope, faith, optimism, entertainment, luxuries, enjoyment, perseverance, goal orientation and the art of living in the moment; to Hamsa Yoga. Unlike Moola nakshatra, Poorvashada resembles much more with the prevalent notion of Jupiter as most of these qualities are associated with Jupiter. Hence the formation of Hamsa Yoga in Poorvashada nakshatra may bless the person with a wide variety of results associated with Jupiter; depending on the overall horoscope of the person. The religious gurus blessed by Hamsa Yoga in the tenth house in Poorvashada nakshatra may be the typical or ideal types of religious gurus in many aspects. It means they may teach you the ways of faith, hope, optimism and many other things which are typically related to religious preachers.

The actors under strong influence of Hamsa Yoga in Poorvashada may have general tendency to play adventurous, romantic, lively and optimistic type of characters, instead of playing intense and sad ones. Hence such actors may be found showing the ways to live happily; cheering everyone up and telling them not worry as all will be well. They may also do other such acts which give you the impression that they are living life to the fullest. The phrase ‘bigger than or larger than’ goes well with the personalities of people under strong influence of this type of Hamsa Yoga. It means a cricket player blessed by such Hamsa Yoga may not merely be a player or a very good player. He may be a great entertainer and he may exhibit such amazing skills as well as such optimistic character that most people may simply find him bigger than the game. As long as such person is playing and performing; anything and everything is possible. It means he may take his team to victory in matches which may almost seem to be lost at times; and he may do so with much ease, comfort and faith.

This player may not merely win such matches; he may do so with ease. It may often be obvious from his body language throughout his innings that the matches were never lost; and he may always look in control. This is what makes him bigger than the game as he may single-handedly take his team to victories on a number of occasions when such victories may be much needed. On top of that, he may make it look like it was never a big deal. It should be noted that it is not the extraordinary skills of this person which make him bigger than the game. It is his undivided faith and confidence that as long as the game is on and as long as he is playing, there is no such thing as defeat. For this reason, his teammates may get inspired by him, the crowds may love him like an angel of hope; and the opposition may fear and respect him. Needless to say, the person with such Hamsa Yoga may be the most valuable player in any game he plays. It means the crowds and his teammates may know the victory is theirs as long as he is playing and the opposition may know that they may not win unless they get this person out.

Similarly, other types of players under the positive influence of Hamsa Yoga in Poorvashada may also create this charisma of being bigger than the game they play. It means the entire game may seem to be revolving around them; with them being in the center. The same holds good for people who engage in other types of professions with this type of Hamsa Yoga. Even in their real lives; people may often find them bigger than life. It means they may possess such charisma, hope, faith and optimism that even the saddest people may cheer up in their company. Difficult circumstances or miseries of life may not shake these people easily and they may simply keep moving with undivided faith that they will win in the end; and they do in most cases. Hamsa Yoga gives some of its best expressions in this nakshatra among all the signs and nakshatras, which can feature this Yoga.

Due to these qualities, the people with this type of Hamsa Yoga may prove very good motivational speakers, religious gurus, advisors, astrologers and all other types of professionals who need to influence other people in order to heal them or get them out of their problems. It should be noted that the method of healing of such Hamsa Yoga is that of Jupiter which means the way of faith and not that of logic which is ruled by Mercury. It means they may not provide many logics to convince you that something is good for you or you should avoid doing certain things. Their voices as well as their auras may be so filled with positive energy that you may easily believe whatever they say; since you may feel like they are speaking truth and truth only. Such Hamsa Yoga operates through faith and faith goes far deeper than logic. It is not about their words in most cases; it is about their personalities which create magic. Even their presence may be sufficient to inspire people to do things, they may otherwise not be capable of attempting.

When Jupiter forms Hamsa Yoga in the tenth house in Sagittarius in Uttarashada nakshatra, the people under its influence may  achieve success as politicians, government officers, scientists, doctors, teachers, preachers, consultants, astrologers, religious gurus, spiritual gurus, actors, singers, musicians, writers, directors, producers and many other types of professionals. Uttarashada nakshatra adds qualities like war skills, strategy, planning, focus, perseverance, understanding and patience to Hamsa Yoga. Hence people under its influence may achieve success through various spheres of life; which require the use of these qualities. There is a visible difference between the people having Hamsa Yoga in Poorvashada nakshatra and the people having this Yoga in Uttarashada nakshatra.

Whereas the former type of people may be light hearted and they may take even acts like wars as games; the latter type of people may be serious in their approach. For a person with Hamsa Yoga in Uttarashada, job generally means job or a task means task and no fun; whereas for a person with Hamsa Yoga in Poorvashada, almost everything can be taken as fun. For this reason, a person with Hamsa Yoga in Uttarashada is capable of producing better results due to his more focused approach though he may not be able to enjoy a lot along the way. On the other hand, a person with Hamsa Yoga in Poorvashada may be somewhat less focused; but he may enjoy more.

Looking at navamshas, people with Hamsa Yoga in the tenth house in Moola nakshatra in Aries navamsha may achieve success as doctors, scientists, government officers, politicians, sportsmen, actors, writers, dancers, astrologers, spiritual gurus, businessmen engaging in various fields and as some other professionals. The people with Hamsa Yoga in the tenth house in Moola nakshatra in Taurus navamsha may achieve success as politicians, government officers, doctors, actors, singers, musicians, sportsmen, astrologers, spiritual gurus, religious gurus, businessmen engaging in various professions and as some other types of professionals. The formation of Hamsa Yoga in the tenth house in Moola nakshatra in Gemini navamsha may help the people succeed as scientists, engineers, IT professionals, writers, journalists, actors, directors, professionals engaging in telecom, internet and TV media industry; politicians, government officers, astrologers, religious gurus and many other types of professionals. Hamsa Yoga in the tenth house in Moola nakshatra in Cancer navamsha may help the people succeed as doctors, musicians, singers, actors, professionals engaging in hospitality industry, politicians, government officers, spiritual gurus, astrologers, religious gurus, tantrics, psychics, sportsmen, professionals dealing in entertainment industry and many other types of professionals.

People with Hamsa Yoga in the tenth house in Poorvashada nakshatra in Leo navamsha may succeed as actors, sportsmen, musicians, singers, dancers, politicians, government officers, religious gurus, astrologers, doctors, IT professionals, professionals dealing in entertainment industry and many other types of professionals. People with Hamsa Yoga in the tenth house in Poorvashada nakshatra in Virgo navamsha may achieve success as actors, dancers, singers, writers, directors, producers, sportsmen, scientists, engineers, software developers, IT professionals, architects, designers, media industry professionals, entertainment industry professionals, astrologers, politicians, government officers, religious gurus, consultants and many other types of professionals. Hamsa Yoga in the tenth house in Poorvashada nakshatra in Libra navamsha may help the people achieve success as actors, singers, musicians, dancers, fashion models, designers, diplomats, politicians, government officers, professionals dealing in matrimonial services, professionals dealing in dating services, consultants, astrologers, religious gurus; professionals dealing in glamour industry, entertainment industry, hospitality industry and many other types of professionals.

Hamsa Yoga in the tenth house in Poorvashada nakshatra in Scorpio navamsha may help the people achieve success as doctors, scientists, astrologers, researchers, spiritual gurus, IT professionals, explorers, psychics, tantrics, politicians, consultants, government officers, actors, sportsmen, directors, dancers and many other types of professionals. Hamsa Yoga in the tenth house in Uttarashada nakshatra in Sagittarius navamsha may help the people achieve success as government officers, politicians, diplomats, religious gurus, astrologers, consultants, IT professionals, owners of media houses, entertainment companies, production houses and other types of companies; sportsmen, defence experts, defence officers, engineers, scientists and many other types of professionals.

Above all, the overall theme of the horoscope having such Hamsa Yoga should be analyzed carefully as this is what matters the most. The overall theme of a horoscope is the most important factor in it and it can change everything. For example, if Hamsa Yoga is formed due to the presence of exalted Jupiter in the first house of a horoscope in Cancer and the overall theme of the horoscope indicates authority, this Yoga may bless the person with a post of authority in the house of government.

After this, the impact of running times should also be checked. The term ‘running times’ in this context means planetary periods, commonly known as Mahadashas. Running times are most important when it comes to check; when may the person receive maximum benefit from Hamsa Yoga. Any type of good or bad yoga becomes duly effective, if one of the planets involved in its formation rules the running time. Therefore, the person may witness the strongest benefits offered by Hamsa Yoga when he is hit by the planetary period of Jupiter at relevant times. The term ‘relevant times’ in this context means when opportunities have appeared.

Taking an example, suppose Hamsa Yoga is formed in a horoscope and the planetary period of Jupiter hits the person around his age of 1 year. The planetary period of Jupiter lasts for 16 years. It means the person will be under the effect of Jupiter period during his age of 1 to 17 years. Since this age group doesn’t support major benefits through most spheres of life; the person may not be able to make the most of Hamsa Yoga. Therefore, the planetary period of Jupiter has hit this person at an irrelevant time, in this case. The cycle of planetary periods repeats after 120 years. Hence the planetary period of Jupiter may not hit this person again; during his lifetime.

On the other hand, if the planetary period of Jupiter hit this person during his age of 25 and 41; the person may witness maximum benefits indicated by Hamsa Yoga; during the planetary period of Jupiter; when supported by his overall horoscope.

Let’s take an example to understand the working of Hamsa Yoga in a better manner. This horoscope belongs to a high authority revenue officer in India and the person got selected in revenue services, directly through civil exams. This person’s horoscope features two out of five Panch Mahapurusha Yogas, where one of them is Hamsa Yoga and the other one is Malavya Yoga.

Positive Jupiter is placed in the tenth house of this horoscope in Sagittarius in Moola nakshatra, thereby forming Hamsa Yoga in the horoscope. Positive exalted Venus is placed in the first house of this horoscope in Pisces, thereby forming Malavya Yoga. The presence of these two Yogas may bless this person with top class results through a government job, politics or even through the field of arts; as Malavya Yoga is formed in the first house. However, whether this person may go to an artistic field or to an authoritative field will be decided by the rest of the horoscope as well as by the running times.

Positive Mars is placed in the second house of this horoscope in Aries, Saturn is placed in the third house in Taurus, Ketu is placed in the fifth house in Cancer, Rahu is placed in the eleventh house in Capricorn and a combination of Sun, Moon and Mercury is placed in the twelfth house in Aquarius. Let’s try to find out the overall theme now and let’s see which field this person may choose to benefit from Hamsa Yoga as well as from Malavya Yoga.

Starting with Mars, it is placed in the second house and that too in Aries. Second house deals with financial matters along with many other things; and the sign Aries gives a lot of courage and initiative when Mars is placed in it. The mixed working of Saturn makes is difficult to pursue a creative field and it supports sitting long hours in the office. The influence of Ketu in the fifth house in Cancer may add an intuitive edge to the personality of this person. The placement of Rahu indicates something to do with financial affairs, as eleventh house is related to financial matters.

Among other things, twelfth house deals with hidden things and mysteries. Hence the influence of weak, negative or afflicted planets in this house may make a person get lost in confusions. On the other hand, the influence of strong and positive planets in this house may bless the person with the ability to solve confusions and mysteries. Aquarius is a sign of intellect and it is likely to solve mysteries which require the application of brain rather than that of heart or faith. Since the overall theme of this horoscope is strong due to the top placements of Jupiter, Venus, Mars and Saturn; negative Sun may form Vipreet Rajyoga in the twelfth house of this horoscope. Hence the person may be able to solve mysteries instead of getting lost in them. The formation of Vipreet Rajyoga has been explained in the chapter named ‘Vipreet Rajyoga’.

Hence the overall theme of this horoscope tells that the person may achieve authority, his field of profession may be related to finance and it should have a lot to do with investigations also. Moving on, the placement of Jupiter, Mars and Saturn support the education also. Combining these results, we get an idea that the person may achieve a post of authority in financial department of government through education, which means through competitive exams, if the last factor is supportive. This last factor is called the running time and it holds great value.

This person was under the effect of Jupiter’s period during the age of 19 and 35. Jupiter forms Hamsa Yoga in the tenth house and this house primarily deals with profession. The formation of Hamsa Yoga in Moola nakshatra promotes authority. The main period of Jupiter puts Jupiter in charge for 16 years. Hence the person got selected for a post of high authority in revenue department. It should be noted that if the running period during this age of the person was ruled by Venus, the person might have achieved success in a creative field. However, such success might not have been high in quantum as the overall theme of the horoscope doesn’t support creativity as much as it supports authority in the house of government.

It means, even after having an overall good horoscope, you have to have the support from the running time. Otherwise, you may not be able to achieve the best results indicted by Hamsa Yoga or any other good Yoga in your horoscope. It should be noted that this person may achieve this post of authority only during the planetary period of Jupiter or Mars. This is because only these two planetary periods hold the potential to bless this person with the post of a revenue officer.
