According to its prevalent definition; if Chandra or Moon is placed with Mangal or Mars in the same house of a horoscope, Chandra Mangal Yoga is formed in the horoscope.
Once we are sure about the formation of Chandra Mangal Yoga in a horoscope, the next thing to check is its strength. The strength of Chandra Mangal Yoga is checked through the placement of Moon and Mars in various houses, signs, nakshatras and navamshas; as well as through the influences of other positive and negative planets on Moon and Mars in a horoscope.
Looking at the signs, positive results of Chandra Mangal Yoga may decrease in quantum, if this Yoga is formed in Gemini, Virgo or Aquarius since either Moon or Mars is not comfortable in these signs. On the other hand, if this Yoga is formed in Cancer or Scorpio, the results may change altogether. In both these signs, one of these two planets is debilitated whereas the other one is in its own sign. Hence the formation of Chandra Mangal Yoga in Cancer or Scorpio may also form Neechbhang Rajyoga in the horoscope. In case this combination is placed in Cancer, Moon may cancel the debilitation status of Mars and Neechbhang Rajyoga may be formed in the horoscope. If this combination is placed in Scorpio, Mars may cancel the debilitation status of Moon and Neechbhang Rajyoga may be formed in the horoscope.
Hence the person may benefit more, under the combined influence of Chandra Mangal Yoga and Neechbhang Rajyoga. During my practice of Vedic astrology, I have seen that in most cases; Neechbhang Rajyoga formed by Moon and Mars in Cancer may be more beneficial than the one formed in Scorpio. Chandra Mangal Yoga formed in Aries, Taurus, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, Capricorn and Pisces may also bless the person with good or very good results; depending on his overall horoscope. Taking an example, suppose positive Moon and Mars form Chandra Mangal Yoga in the first house of a horoscope in Libra. Such Chandra Mangal Yoga may bless the person with success through a number of businesses or through other fields; depending on the overall theme of his horoscope. Since Mars represents the seventh house in this case, the person may also witness very good results related to marriage, when supported by his overall horoscope.
Looking at nakshatras, suppose positive Moon and Mars form Chandra Mangal Yoga in the first house of a horoscope in Libra. If both Moon and Mars are placed in Chitra nakshatra, the person may achieve success as a professional dealing in interior designing, architecture, gemstone industry, food industry, software industry, hotel industry, travel industry, movie industry, fashion industry, liquor industry and many other industries. If the overall horoscope is strong and supportive, such person may earn billions through various types of businesses. If Moon and Mars form Chandra Mangal Yoga in the first house in Libra in Swati nakshatra, the results may change. In this case, the person may achieve success as a professional dealing in hospitality industry, hotel industry, airline industry, travel industry, movie industry, music industry, television industry, marketing industry and many other fields. Looking at the next variation, if positive Moon and Mars form Chandra Mangal Yoga in the first house in Libra in Vishakha nakshatra, the results may be different. Such person may achieve success as a professional dealing in liquor industry, airline industry, hotel industry, tour and travel industry, jewellery industry, casino industry, movie industry, tobacco industry and many other fields; depending on his overall horoscope.
Looking at navamshas, suppose positive Moon and Mars form Chandra Mangal Yoga in the first house in Libra in Swati nakshatra in Sagittarius navamsha. In this case, the person may achieve success as a singer, actor, musician, writer, dancer; professional dealing in financial sector, hospitality sector or entertainment sector; depending on the rest of his horoscope. If such Chandra Mangal Yoga is formed in Swati nakshatra in Capricorn navamsha, the person may achieve success as a professional dealing in real estate, construction, architecture, designing, software industry, frozen food industry, hotel industry, automobile industry or politics; depending on the rest of his horoscope.
Formation of Chandra Mangal Yoga in the first house in Swati nakshatra in Aquarius navamsha may bless the person with success as a professional dealing in travel industry, ecommerce industry, logistics industry, fashion industry, movie industry, airline industry, marketing industry, internet industry or telecom industry; depending on his overall horoscope. If Chandra Mangal Yoga is formed in the first house in Swati nakshatra in Pisces navamsha, the person may achieve success as a professional dealing in movie industry, music industry, television industry, hotel industry, airline industry, matrimonial industry, liquor industry, casino industry or travel industry; depending on his overall horoscope. Similarly, placement of Chandra Mangal Yoga in the first house in Libra in Chitra and Vishakha nakshatra may exhibit different types of results; depending on the navamsha placement of this Yoga.
Moving on to the next factor, influences of other positive and negative planets on Moon and Mars in a horoscope should also be checked properly, before predicting results of Chandra Mangal Yoga. Suppose positive Moon and Mars form Chandra Mangal Yoga in the tenth house of a horoscope in Sagittarius. If positive Jupiter is also placed in the tenth house of this horoscope, the positive results of this Yoga may enhance. Positive Jupiter in the tenth house in Sagittarius along with positive Moon and Mars may form Hamsa Yoga as well as Gaj Kesari Yoga in the horoscope. As a result, the person under the combined influence of Chandra Mangal Yoga, Hamsa Yoga and Gaj Kesari Yoga may achieve a post of authority through politics or through government job; depending on the rest of his horoscope.
If positive Mercury is also added to the tenth house of this horoscope; Chandra Mangal Yoga may gain even more strength. In this case, the person may become a high authority government officer or a top class creative artist; depending on his overall horoscope. In the same horoscope, if Sun and Venus are placed in the eleventh house in Capricorn; the person may achieve top class authority as a politician or as an actor. If positive Rahu is placed in the tenth house along with Moon, Mars, Jupiter and Mercury; the overall results may become even better. You see, how much can change due to influences of positive and negative planets on Chandra Mangal Yoga. Hence this factor should be checked carefully.
In case a good or bad Yoga is formed by more than one planet in a horoscope, an additional measure needs to be taken. The good or bad results of the highest order are likely to be seen during the running period of the planet which is the strongest among the planets involved in the formation of such Yoga. It means if Chandra Mangal Yoga is formed in Taurus, Moon is stronger than Mars. Hence it may dominate the results, in most cases. Based on these facts, the person may come across good results; broadly divided into three categories.
Looking at these categories, if the overall theme of a horoscope having such Chandra Mangal Yoga indicates great amount of success through business, this is what may happen. If the planetary period of Mars or Moon doesn’t hit this person at relevant times, he may achieve good amount of success through business. If the planetary period of Mars hits this person at a relevant time, he may achieve very good amount of success through business. If the planetary period of Moon hits this person at a relevant time, he may achieve top class results through business. This is the time when this person may reach the peak of his career and he may witness all around good results. It means that in most cases; the true potential of any good or bad Yoga may be unleashed; when the planetary period of the strongest planet involved in the formation of such Yoga hits the person at a relevant time.
It should be noted that in all these examples, running times of the strongest positive planets may only bring out the optimum potential featured in the horoscope and they may not increase that optimum potential. It means that the planetary period of Moon at a relevant time may bless the person with great success through business, only if his overall horoscope has the potential to achieve such success. Hence the overall potential of a horoscope in question should be assessed first. After that, the percentage of such potential which may be available at a given point in time should be calculated, in order to check whether a particular result wanted by a person may or may not be achieved by him.
It means if a person wants to earn billions through business, it should first be checked if his horoscope is capable of producing such billions, even when working at its best. If this calculation is in his favor, then it should be checked whether the running time supports the kind of success he is looking for. If the running time is also supportive, the person may witness billions through a business and he may also witness expansion of his business on large scale. However, if the running time is not supportive for this result for the next 4 years, he may come across desired professional growth; only after a period of four years. On the other hand, if his overall horoscope is capable of blessing him merely with millions through business; he may only earn millions, even when the best type of running time is in effect.
