Considering another example; suppose in the horoscope of a female native (born during nighttime), Sun is placed in the first house in Capricorn, in Aries navamsha of Shravana. Moon is also placed in the first house in Capricorn, in Aquarius navamsha of Uttarashada. Sun is malefic as well as strong in this horoscope. It may afflict Moon as well as the first house. Apart from that, it may cause more weakness to Moon through combustion; since they may be placed around 5 degrees from each other. Hence Mahabhagya Yoga may not be formed. On the contrary, the native may face problems related to health, lifespan, profession, mental health, peace of mind and marriage among other problems. Moon rules the seventh house in this horoscope.
Taking another example; suppose in the horoscope of a male native, Sun is placed in the ninth house in Sagittarius and Moon is placed in the fifth house in Leo. Aries rises in the ascendant and Sun as well as Moon is benefic in the horoscope. Hence Mahabhagya Yoga may be formed in this case.
Taking an example for female native; suppose debilitated Moon is placed in the first house of a horoscope in Scorpio, in Scorpio navamsha of Anuradha nakshatra. Sun is placed in the ninth house in Cancer, in Libra navamsha of Pushya nakshatra. Both Sun and Moon are weak in their respective signs as well as navamshas. Hence weak Mahabhagya Yoga may be formed in this case.
Taking another example for female native; suppose benefic Sun is placed in the first house of a horoscope in Scorpio, in Leo navamsha of Anuradha nakshatra. Benefic exalted Moon is placed in the seventh house in Taurus, in Taurus navamsha of Rohini nakshatra. Sun may do very well in Leo navamsha of Anuradha. Moon is exalted in its sign of placement as well as in navamsha. Apart from that, Sun and Moon may transfer positive energy to each other; through direct aspects (seventh). Hence strong Mahabhagya Yoga may be formed in this case. The native may witness very good results related to health, profession, marriage, reputation, authority, mother, father and a number of other good results.
Considering another example for male native; suppose benefic Sun is placed in the seventh house of a horoscope in Aries, in Leo navamsha of Bharani nakshatra. Benefic Moon is placed in the first house in Libra, in Taurus navamsha of Vishakha nakshatra. Sun is exalted and it is strong in Leo navamsha of Bharani. Moon may do very well in Taurus navamsha of Vishakha. Apart from that, Sun and Moon may transfer positive energy to each other; through direct aspects (seventh). Hence strong Mahabhagya Yoga may be formed in this case.
Let’s look at influences of other planets as well as the overall theme of horoscope on this yoga. Suppose in the horoscope of a male native, malefic Mercury is placed in the first house in Aries with Sun; and malefic Ketu is placed in the fifth house in Leo with Moon. Mercury may afflict Sun; and Ketu may afflict Moon. Hence the strength of Mahabhagya Yoga may be reduced significantly; and the native may not benefic a lot from it.
Suppose Jupiter is placed in the eighth house in Scorpio, Saturn is placed in the fifth house in Leo with Moon and Ketu, exalted Venus is placed in the twelfth house in Pisces and Mars is placed in the sixth house in Virgo. In this case, the overall horoscope becomes weak and more malefic than benefic; despite the formation of Mahabhagya Yoga. Due to hostile environment of the eighth house; Jupiter may turn more malefic than benefic and the same may happen with Mars in the sixth house. Venus may not do much good in the twelfth house though it may still remain benefic.
Due to strong influence of malefic Ketu and due to its flexible functional nature in horoscopes with Aries ascendant; Saturn may turn significantly malefic though it may still remain partly benefic. Hence the native may not benefit from Mahabhagya Yoga. On the contrary, he may suffer from a number of problems related to many spheres of his life; with marriage, health and profession being the most troubled spheres. The concept of planets exhibiting tendencies to be benefic or malefic on the basis of the houses they rule in a horoscope has been explained in the chapter ‘Gemstones for House Lords’ of the book ‘Gemstones – Magic or Science (Revised Edition)’.
Let’s see what may happen when this yoga is influenced by benefic planets. Starting with the basic setup of Sun in the first house and Moon in the fifth house; suppose Jupiter is placed in the first house in Aries, a combination of Mars (in Uttarashada) and benefic Rahu is placed in the tenth house in Capricorn, Ketu is placed in the fourth house in Cancer, Venus is placed in the second house in Taurus and debilitated Mercury is placed in the twelfth house in Pisces. Saturn is placed in the third house in Gemini.
Due to strong influence of benefic exalted Sun, Jupiter may turn much more benefic than malefic. Mars may also turn much more benefic than malefic; due to its placement in a comfortable house, sign and nakshatra; as well as due to influence of benefic Rahu. Venus is benefic and strong in the second house and Saturn is benefic and strong in the third house. Hence the overall horoscope may become benefic as well as strong. Therefore, Mercury may form Harsha Yoga in the twelfth house. As the combined result of all these factors; the native may benefit a lot and maximum benefits may appear in the sphere of profession. Such native may achieve a post of high authority in government; likely as a defence officer.
After this, the field of impact of this yoga is checked. It is checked through the placements of Sun and Moon in various houses of horoscope. In the recent example; Sun is placed in the first house and Moon is placed in the fifth house. Hence such Mahabhagya Yoga may primarily bless the native with good results related to profession, reputation, fame, authority, health, love life, children, creativity and spiritual growth.
