Chandra Mangal Yoga

Vedic astrology mentions Chandra Mangal Yoga as an auspicious yoga. According to its definition prevalent in Vedic astrology, 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. Chandra Mangal Yoga can bless the native with money, wealth, professional success, fame, recognition, authority, creativity, spiritual growth, marital bliss and other good results.

Some astrologers believe that the aspect relationship of Moon and Mars in a horoscope can also form Chandra Mangal Yoga. It means that if both Moon and Mars are casting aspect on each other in a horoscope, Chandra Mangal Yoga is formed in the horoscope. However in actual practice of Vedic astrology, this belief may not hold good. I have often seen that the aspect relationship of Moon and Mars may not be able to produce results of comparable quantum; as those produced by formation of Chandra Mangal Yoga due to conjunction of Moon and Mars in the same house of a horoscope. Hence for the sake of this discussion, we will only consider the conjunction of Moon and Mars for the formation of this yoga, in order to understand it in the best possible manner.

We know that there are only twelve houses in a horoscope. Hence the probability of Moon being placed with Mars in the same house in a horoscope is one out of twelve. For example, if Moon is placed in the first house of a horoscope, Mars can be placed in any one of the twelve houses. It means the probability of placement of Mars in the first house is one out of twelve. Hence Chandra Mangal Yoga forms in the horoscope of every twelfth native in this world, according to its prevalent definition.

It means that randomly, every twelfth person is having Chandra Mangal Yoga in his horoscope. Accordingly, every twelfth person should witness the good results indicated by this Yoga. Analyzing this definition further, we know that Moon transits a sign for two and a half days approximately. Mars stays in a sign for about a month and a half on average. Since the formation of Chandra Mangal Yoga is decided by the placement of Moon with Mars, Chandra Mangal Yoga once formed should remain active for about two and a half days as none of the two planets may change their positions during this period of time.

It means that all the people born during such two and a half days will have Chandra Mangal Yoga in their horoscopes. The fact that Chandra Mangal Yoga is found in almost every twelfth horoscope and the fact that this Yoga remains active for about two and a half days are very hard to justify practically. This is because the good results associated with Chandra Mangal Yoga are rare and they are not found in case of every twelfth native. It should also be noted that most good and bad Yogas in Vedic astrology don’t remain active continuously even for a few hours, let alone a period of two and a half days. Hence there must be other conditions which should be met in order for Chandra Mangal Yoga to produce good results like the ones mentioned in its definition.

The primary condition for the formation of any benefic Yoga in a horoscope is that all the planets involved in the formation of such Yoga should be benefic in that horoscope. Therefore, in order for Chandra Mangal Yoga to be formed in a horoscope, both Mars and Moon should be benefic in that horoscope. Mars and Moon can broadly make four combinations in a horoscope, in the cases which qualify for consideration of Chandra Mangal Yoga. Out of these four combinations, the combination of benefic Mars with benefic Moon may result in the formation of Chandra Mangal Yoga.

On the other hand, the remaining three combinations; the combination of benefic Moon with malefic Mars, malefic Moon with benefic Mars and malefic Moon with malefic Mars may not form Chandra Mangal Yoga in the horoscope. This is because in all these combinations, either one or both the planets are malefic. Hence these combinations may not form Chandra Mangal Yoga. Instead, they may form malefic yogas, where the malefic planet may affect the general as well as the specific significances of the benefic planet.

For example, the significances of Moon may suffer when this combination is present in a horoscope and Moon is benefic whereas Mars is malefic. As a result, the native may face problems in the spheres of his life, related to the general as well as specific significances of Moon. Such native may face problems related to emotional wellbeing, creativity and peace of mind; as these are the general significances of Moon. If Moon represents the ninth house in such horoscope, Pitra Dosh may be formed in the horoscope. Such Pitra Dosh may affect the wellbeing of native’s father and it may also cause a number of other problems for the native; depending on his overall horoscope.

Similarly, the general as well as specific significances of Mars may suffer when malefic Moon is present in the same house with benefic Mars. As a result, the native may face problems related to courage, initiative, physical energy, aggression, competitive spirit, immunity and those related to other significances of Mars. Looking at specific types of problems, suppose Mars represents the second house in one such horoscope. In this case, the native may face problems related to wealth, money, finances, family, speech and other significances of second house. The worst type of combination may be found where both Moon and Mars are malefic. The significances of both Moon and Mars may suffer in one such case. Chandra Mangal Yoga may not be formed in this case. On the contrary, the native may suffer a lot due to such malefic combination of Moon and Mars. Both these planets may try to cause damage to each other, resulting in a number of problems; depending on the overall horoscope.

In all four combinations, whether Moon or Mars may dominate the other depends on the strength of these planets as well as on the overall theme of the horoscopes in question. For example, if malefic Moon is placed with malefic debilitated Mars in Cancer, the significances of Mars may be affected much more than the significances of Moon. This is because Moon is strong in Cancer whereas Mars is debilitated in this sign. Such strong malefic Moon may cause serious problems related to significances of debilitated Mars. If Moon placed in Cancer is benefic and Mars placed in the same sign is malefic, this combination may not cause problems of high quantum. This is due to the reason that benefic Moon is much stronger than malefic Mars in this case. Hence it may be able to handle the damage caused by malefic Mars, without much difficulty.

On the other hand, if a combination of malefic Moon and malefic Mars is placed in Scorpio, the equation becomes the exact opposite. Mars is strong in Scorpio whereas Moon is debilitated. Hence Mars may not suffer much and it may seriously affect the significances of Moon. If a combination of malefic debilitated Moon and benefic Mars is placed in Scorpio, it may not cause serious problems. Since Moon is weak due to debilitation and Mars is strong, the latter may be able to manage the negative energy of Moon without much difficulty.

Looking at the fourth probability, when benefic Moon is placed with benefic Mars in the same house of a horoscope; Chandra Mangal Yoga is formed. In this case, Moon provides additional strength to Mars and Mars provides additional strength to Moon. As a result, the native may witness benefits related to significances of Moon as well as Mars. The quantum of such benefits depends on the overall horoscope of the native. 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 different houses, signs, nakshatras and navamshas; as well as through the influences of other benefic or malefic planets on Moon and Mars in a horoscope.

Looking at the signs, benefic 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 Neecha Bhanga Raja Yoga in the horoscope. In case this combination is placed in Cancer, Moon may cancel the debilitation status of Mars and Neecha Bhanga Raja Yoga may be formed in the horoscope. If this combination is placed in Scorpio, Mars may cancel the debilitation status of Moon and Neecha Bhanga Raja Yoga may be formed in the horoscope.

Moving on to the next factor, influences of other benefic or malefic planets on Moon and Mars in a horoscope should also be checked properly, before predicting results of Chandra Mangal Yoga. This is a major factor and it can change the results; significantly or completely. Considering an example, suppose benefic Moon and Mars form Chandra Mangal Yoga in the tenth house of a horoscope in Sagittarius. This yoga may bless the native with success through a creative field, politics, government job or business; depending on the rest of his horoscope. If malefic Saturn is also placed in the tenth house of this horoscope in Sagittarius, the results indicated by Chandra Mangal Yoga may reduce.

However, the native may still benefit if the rest of his horoscope is favorable. Addition of malefic Sun to the tenth house of this horoscope may further deteriorate the equation. In this case, the native may not witness benefits of Chandra Mangal Yoga. Instead, he may suffer from various types of problems; though they should be manageable if the rest of his horoscope is supportive. If malefic Rahu or Ketu is also placed in the tenth house of this horoscope along with Moon, Mars, Saturn and Sun; this combination may turn malefic. In this case, the native may face serious problems related to many fields of his life.

The next factor to check is the field of impact of Chandra Mangal Yoga. To calculate field of impact, the house of placement of this yoga as well as the influences of other benefic and malefic planets on this yoga should be checked. Just like signs, formation of Chandra Mangal Yoga in various houses of a horoscope may bless the native with different types of benefic results. For example, the formation of Chandra Mangal Yoga in the first house of a horoscope in Cancer can bless the native with very good success as a creative artist. The placement of this yoga in the third house of a horoscope in Sagittarius can bless the native with success through a sport or business.

If Chandra Mangal Yoga is formed in the seventh house of a horoscope in Aries, the native may achieve good results through his marriage and profession. The formation of Chandra Mangal Yoga in the eighth house of a horoscope in Leo can bless the native with good results related to spiritual growth, research, analysis and other such fields. If this yoga is formed in the ninth house in Pisces, the native may witness benefits related to father, profession and spiritual growth; among other benefits. Therefore, Chandra Mangal Yoga may deliver different results; based on its placement in different houses, signs and nakshatras.

The next factor to check is the time of activation of Chandra Mangal Yoga. Even when actually formed in a horoscope, any good or bad Yoga may not be activated from the time of birth of the native and the activation may vary from person to person. It means that Chandra Mangal Yoga present in different horoscopes may have different times of activation. Accordingly, different natives may start benefitting from it during different ages. This is why you may see some people benefitting from Chandra Mangal Yoga at early ages, some during middle ages and some of them during their ages above 50 or even 60.

Above all, the overall theme of the horoscope having Chandra Mangal yoga should be analyzed carefully as this is what matters the most. The overall theme of a horoscope is the most important aspect in it and it can change everything. For example, the presence of Chandra Mangal Yoga in the tenth house of a horoscope can bless the native with top class authority in government, if the overall theme of his horoscope is authoritative. On the other hand, the placement of Chandra Mangal Yoga in the same house of a horoscope can bless the native with success as a sportsman; if the overall theme of the horoscope is sportive.

Similarly, Chandra Mangal Yoga placed in the tenth house of a horoscope can bless the native with good results through businesses, creative fields, spiritualism, astrology, various types of practices and many other spheres; depending on the overall theme of his horoscope. Therefore, if you want to calculate the types of benefits that Chandra Mangal Yoga may pass on to a native, all these factors should be checked properly. Avoiding some of these factors may result in partly correct calculations or predictions. This is because you know Chandra Mangal Yoga is present in the horoscope but you don’t know what it is going to do to the native.

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 native receive maximum benefit from Chandra Mangal 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 native may witness the strongest benefits offered by Chandra Mangal Yoga if he is hit by the planetary period of Moon or Mars during relevant years of his age. This simple looking fact may significantly change the quantum of success achieved by a native under strong influence of Chandra Mangal Yoga.

For example, if Chandra Mangal Yoga is formed in the first house of a horoscope and the overall theme of the horoscope supports success through business, the native may become a businessman. Though the native may achieve success if his overall horoscope is strong and benefic, such success may reach higher levels; as and when the planetary periods of Mars or Moon hit this native. This is because during these periods, Chandra Mangal Yoga may gain additional strength and hence it may bless the native with even better results. This native may achieve success through business; even when the planetary periods are not ruled by Moon or Mars. However, if the planetary period of Moon or Mars hits this native at relevant times, the native benefitting from the same Chandra Mangal yoga may achieve much more success through business. Hence the native may earn billions through business during planetary periods of Moon and Mars; provided his overall horoscope features such potential. The term ‘relevant times’ in this context means when opportunities have appeared.

For example, suppose the planetary period of Moon hits this native at his age of 1 year. The planetary period of Moon lasts for 10 years; followed by the planetary period of Mars for 7 years. It means the native will be under the effect of these periods during his age of 1 to 18 years. Since this age group doesn’t support big profits through business in most cases, the native may not be able to make the most of Chandra Mangal Yoga. Therefore, the planetary periods of Moon and Mars have hit this native at irrelevant times, in this case.

On the other hand, if the planetary periods of Moon and Mars hit this native at relevant times, the native benefitting from the same Chandra Mangal Yoga may witness the best possible results indicated by this yoga. Suppose the planetary periods of Moon and Mars are in effect during this native’s age of 31 and 47. In this case, the native may witness great amount of money, success and recognition through business; during the planetary periods of Moon and Mars; when supported by his overall horoscope.

You see, the definition of Chandra Mangal Yoga looks very simple. However, the actual process of calculating the results indicated by Chandra Mangal Yoga in a horoscope is complex. Therefore, each and every aspect in a horoscope should be checked properly; before concluding the formation of Chandra Mangal Yoga in a horoscope or before predicting the type and quantum of results indicated by it.

Billions of combinations are possible in a horoscope. That is why the overall theme of a horoscope is what matters the most. There are no doubts that if Chandra Mangal yoga of good strength is formed in a horoscope, the native must benefit from it and he must achieve good results. However, the exact type of good results achieved by such native as well as the timing and the quantum of such good results are indicted by the overall theme of his horoscope.

Budhaditya yoga

Budhaditya yoga is one of the most prominent yogas featured in Vedic astrology. According to its prevalent definition in Vedic astrology, when Sun and Mercury are placed in the same house of a horoscope, Budhaditya yoga is formed in the horoscope. This yoga can bless the native with intelligence, creativity, confidence, leadership abilities, intellect, analytical abilities, communication skills, mathematical skills, success, fame and many other good results.

Mercury as we know is the innermost planet of our solar system. It means that Mercury is the closest to the Sun. Accordingly, it is found present with Sun; almost in one third of the horoscopes. Hence Budhaditya yoga should be formed in all these horoscopes. It means that all these natives should be blessed with good results indicated by Budhaditya yoga. This is obviously not the case in actual practice; as we don’t see one third population of the world having these characteristics and achieving name and fame due to them. Hence there must be something more to the formation of Budhaditya yoga than what has been mentioned in the prevalent definition of this yoga.

The primary condition for the formation of any benefic yoga in a horoscope is that all the planets involved in the formation of such yoga should be benefic in that horoscope. Therefore, in order for Budhaditya yoga to be formed in a horoscope, both Sun and Mercury should be benefic in that horoscope. Sun and Mercury can broadly make four combinations when present in the same house of a horoscope. Out of these four combinations, the combination of benefic Sun with benefic Mercury may result in the formation of Budhaditya yoga.

On the other hand, the remaining three combinations may not form Budhaditya yoga in a horoscope. It means the combination of benefic Sun with malefic Mercury, the combination of malefic Sun with benefic Mercury and the combination of malefic Sun with malefic Mercury may not form Budhaditya yoga in a horoscope. This is because in these three combinations, either one or both the planets placed together are malefic. Hence these combinations may not result in formation of Budhaditya yoga. Instead, they may form malefic yogas; where the malefic planet may hit general as well as specific significances of the benefic planet.

For example, significances of Sun may suffer when this combination is present in a horoscope and Sun is benefic whereas Mercury is malefic. As a result, Pitra Dosh may form in the horoscope due to affliction from malefic Mercury to Sun. Such Pitra Dosh may trouble the native on many fronts of his life. Similarly, the general as well as specific significances of Mercury may suffer when malefic Sun is present in the same house of a horoscope with benefic Mercury. As a result, the native may face problems related to health, intellect, communication abilities and other problems indicated by this combination in such horoscope.

The worst kind of combination is found where both Sun and Mercury are malefic in a horoscope. In this case, significances of both Sun and Mercury may suffer. Malefic Sun may hit the significances of malefic Mercury and malefic Mercury may hit the significances of malefic Sun. Hence this combination may prove very bad for the native and he may face a number of serious problems related to many spheres of his life; depending on his overall horoscope. In all these combinations, whether Sun or Mercury may dominate the other; depends on the strength of these planets as well as on the overall theme of the horoscope in question. For example, if malefic Sun is placed with malefic Mercury in Aries or Leo, significances of malefic Mercury may be affected much more than the significances of malefic Sun.

This is because Sun is stronger in Aries and Leo. Hence it may dominate the results of this combination, whether such results are benefic or malefic. If Sun placed in Aries or Leo is benefic and Mercury placed along with Sun in one of these signs is malefic, the resultant may not be very troublesome, though it may still be troublesome. This is due to the reason that benefic Sun is stronger than malefic Mercury in this case. Hence Sun may be able to counteract the negative energy of malefic Mercury to a significant extent. As a result, the native may not suffer much. If a combination of malefic Sun and benefic Mercury is placed in Aries or Leo; significances of Mercury may be seriously affected. As a result, the native may suffer from various types of problems, depending on the areas of life, represented by Mercury.

Changing the equation, if a combination of malefic Sun and malefic Mercury is placed in Virgo or Gemini, significances of Sun may be affected much more than significances of Mercury. This is because Mercury is stronger in these signs, compared to Sun. Hence Mercury may dominate this combination. This means Mercury may be able to reduce the damage caused by Sun and it may also be able to cause more damage to Sun. Similarly, if malefic Sun is placed with benefic Mercury in Virgo or Gemini, the resultant though malefic; may not cause problems of high degree. Benefic Mercury being stronger than malefic Sun may reduce the damage caused by Sun. If benefic Sun is placed with malefic Mercury in Gemini or Virgo, Pitra Dosh may be formed in the horoscope. Through Pitra Dosh, malefic Mercury may seriously affect significances of Sun. As a result, the native may suffer from a wide variety of problems, depending on his overall horoscope.

Therefore, both Sun and Mercury should be benefic in a horoscope, in order for Budhaditya yoga to form in such horoscope. Once the formation of Budhaditya yoga is confirmed in a horoscope, the next thing to check is its strength. The strength of Budhaditya yoga is checked through the placement of Sun and Mercury in different houses, signs, nakshatras and navamshas; as well as through the influences of other benefic and malefic planets on Sun and Mercury in a horoscope. Looking at signs, benefic results of Budhaditya yoga may decrease considerably if this yoga is present in Libra or Pisces. Sun is debilitated in Libra and Mercury is debilitated in Pisces. As a result, weak Sun or weak Mercury may not contribute much to Budhaditya yoga; even when both these planets are benefic in the horoscope. On the other hand, if this yoga is formed in Aries, Gemini, Leo or Virgo; the results may be very good. Such Budhaditya yoga may bless the native with many types of good results, depending on the overall theme of his horoscope.

Moving onto the next factor, influences of other benefic and malefic planets on Sun and Mercury in a horoscope should also be checked properly, before predicting results of Budhaditya yoga. This is a major factor and it can change the results; significantly or completely. Taking an example, suppose benefic Sun and Mercury form Budhaditya yoga in the first house of a horoscope in Leo. If malefic Saturn is also placed in the first house in Poorvaphalguni nakshatra, the results of this combination may dilute. Hence the native may not achieve very good results as mentioned earlier, though he may still witness some benefits. It means instead of being a high authority administrative officer, such native may become a low rank official in administrative department of government.

If at the same time, malefic Ketu is also placed in the first house; the results may become even weaker. The native may not benefit much from Budhaditya yoga in this case and he may face many ups and downs in his life. Looking at another variation, if malefic Moon is also placed in the first house along with Sun, Mercury, Saturn and Ketu; this combination may become disastrous. Benefic effects of Budhaditya yoga may be completely destroyed in this case and this combination may become malefic. As a result, the native may suffer from serious problems in various spheres of his life. If the rest of his horoscope is also negative in a specific manner; such native may die at a young age. You see, how the results indicated by Budhaditya Yoga may change when malefic planets join this combination.

The next factor to check is the field of impact of Budhaditya yoga. To calculate field of impact, the house of placement of this yoga as well as the influences of other benefic and malefic planets on this yoga should be checked. Just like signs, formation of Budhaditya yoga in various houses of a horoscope may bless the native with different types of benefic results. For example, if benefic Sun and Mercury form Budhaditya yoga in the second house of a horoscope in Leo, the native may benefit in different ways. Such native may achieve success as a singer, an astrologer, an actor or he may settle abroad, depending on the rest of his horoscope.

The next factor to check is the time of activation of Budhaditya yoga. Even when actually formed in a horoscope, any good or bad Yoga may not be activated from the time of birth of the native and the activation may vary from person to person. It means that Budhaditya yoga present in different horoscopes may have different times of activation. Accordingly, different natives may start benefitting from it during different ages. This is why you may see some people witnessing such benefits at early ages, some during middle ages and some of them during their ages above 50 or even 60.

Above all, the overall theme of the horoscope having Budhaditya yoga should be analyzed carefully as this is what matters the most. The overall theme of a horoscope is the most important aspect in it and it can change everything. For example, if benefic Sun and Mercury form Budhaditya yoga in the first house of a horoscope in Sagittarius and the overall theme of the horoscope is indicating authority, this Yoga may bless the native with a post of authority.

Looking deeper, if the education aspect is stronger in the horoscope and the diplomacy as well as adventure aspect is relatively weaker, the native may achieve such authority through government job. On the other hand, if education aspect is not that strong and diplomacy, adventure and public interaction aspects are strong, Budhaditya yoga may bless the native with authority through politics. Likewise, if business aspect is strong in this horoscope, the native may become a highly authoritative businessman due to benefic effect of Budhaditya yoga. Similarly, if creative aspect is elevated in the horoscope, the native may become a highly authoritative writer or actor.

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 native receive maximum benefit from Budhaditya 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 native may witness the strongest benefits offered by Budhaditya yoga if he is hit by the planetary periods of Sun or Mercury during relevant years of his age. This simple looking fact may significantly change the quantum of success achieved by a native under strong influence of Budhaditya yoga.

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. For example, if Budhaditya yoga is formed in Leo, Sun is stronger than Mercury. Hence Sun dominates the results indicated by such Budhaditya yoga. In this case, the native may witness the best results offered by Budhaditya Yoga, during the main period of Sun.

You see, the definition of Budhaditya yoga looks very simple. However, the actual process of calculating the results indicated by Budhaditya yoga in a horoscope is complex. As there are billions of different people in the world, a horoscope should also feature billions of different combinations. If the science of Vedic astrology is absolutely true which it is; then each horoscope should be different from the other; just like the people having those horoscopes are different from one another. Therefore, each and every aspect in a horoscope should be checked properly; before concluding the formation of Budhaditya yoga in a horoscope or before predicting the type and quantum of results indicated by it.

Billions of combinations are possible in a horoscope. That is why the overall theme of a horoscope is what matters the most. There are no doubts that if Budhaditya yoga of good strength is formed in a horoscope, the native must benefit from it and he must achieve good results. However, the exact type of good results achieved by such native as well as the timing and the quantum of such good results are indicted by the overall theme of his horoscope.

Generally speaking, you can simply tell that something good is going to happen to the native having Budhaditya yoga in his horoscope. Specifically speaking, you can’t tell what type of good, how much good and when can such good happen to this native, without looking into the details. Therefore, the overall theme of the horoscope becomes very important if you’re interested in the detailed applications of Budhaditya yoga or any other good yoga present in a horoscope.

Bhadra Yoga

Bhadra Yoga is formed by Mercury in a horoscope and it is considered as one of the five most auspicious Yogas in Vedic astrology called Panch MahaPurusha Yogas where the other four Yogas in this class are Hamsa Yoga, Malavya Yoga, Ruchaka Yoga and Shasha Yoga. According to the prevalent definition of Bhadra Yoga, when Mercury is present in Kendra or Center from Ascendant in a horoscope, which means when Mercury is present in 1st, 4th, 7th or 10th house from Ascendant in a horoscope in any one of the two signs namely Gemini and Virgo, Bhadra Yoga is formed in the horoscope.

Bhadra Yoga can bless the native with many good things depending on the strength of this Yoga in the horoscope as well as on the overall horoscope of the native. Mercury is the planet associated with intellect, wisdom, analytical ability, speech, communication skills, versatility, physical fitness, flexibility, writing abilities, management skills, mathematical skills, youthful appearance, good health, business skills and many other things. Accordingly, the formation of Bhadra Yoga in a horoscope can bless the native with good results related to a number of businesses, creative fields, fields related to media and communication, authority, recognition, politics, scientific fields, mathematical fields, astrology and many other good results related to the significances of Mercury, depending on his overall horoscope.

The natives under the strong influence of Bhadra Yoga can be seen successful as reporters, journalists, writers, lawyers, judges, advisors, consultants, businessmen, astrologers, politicians, teachers, speakers, management professionals, traders, actors, singers, sportsmen, designers, architects and many other kinds of professionals, depending on their overall horoscopes. Some of these natives may achieve great professional success as well as name and fame on national or international level, if their overall horoscopes are supportive. Some natives under the strong influence of Bhadra Yoga may also become very successful as politicians, diplomats and sportsmen; and some of these natives may achieve national or international fame through these professions.

We know that all these qualities and achievements are found rarely and they are not found in a great number of people. Therefore the formation of Bhadra Yoga in a horoscope should also be a rare phenomenon and it should not be something that may repeat in a number of horoscopes. This is because horoscopes only reflect our personalities and our destinies based on those personalities. Hence if a person is blessed with certain special attributes, they are shown in the horoscope also. Since the natives with such qualities are rare, it means there should not be many horoscopes featuring strong Bhadra Yoga.

Analyzing the definition of Bhadra Yoga, we can find out that according to its prevalent definition, this Yoga is present in every 18th horoscope on average as there are only 12 houses and 12 signs in a horoscope. Looking at the formation of Bhadra Yoga, Mercury can form Bhadra Yoga when present in first house in one of the two signs namely Gemini and Virgo, and hence the number of occurrences is 2. The same number of occurrences will be found in case of placements of Mercury in 4th, 7th and 10th houses which makes a total of 8 occurrences of Bhadra Yoga out of the total 144 placements of Mercury in 12 different houses and in 12 different signs. Hence this Yoga should be present in every 18th horoscope on average and accordingly every 18th person should be blessed with the great qualities and blessings rendered by this Yoga. This is obviously not the case in actual practice as such qualities and achievements are found rarely. It means there is more to the formation of Bhadra Yoga in a horoscope and this Yoga can’t be confirmed merely on the basis of presence of Mercury in some particular houses and in some particular signs in a horoscope.

The most important factor for the formation of Bhadra Yoga in a horoscope is that Mercury should be working as a benefic planet in the horoscope, apart from being placed in any one of the already mentioned houses in any one of the already mentioned signs. On the other hand, malefic Mercury placed in any of the above mentioned four houses in any of the signs namely Gemini and Virgo may not form Bhadra Yoga and it may form some defect in the horoscope which may trouble the native with many types of problems. This is because benefic yogas are made by benefic planets only. Malefic planets can’t bless a person with very good results in the long run, though they may sometimes give some temporary gains to some natives, if their overall horoscopes are supportive for such gains.

For example, malefic Mercury placed in first house of a horoscope in Gemini or Virgo can render enhanced mental, intellectual, mathematical and communication abilities to the native but the native may use them negatively. Though this native may witness short term gains by virtue of these qualities, if the overall horoscope is supportive for such gains; the results in the long run may be very bad. Similarly, malefic Mercury present in any of the other three central houses of a horoscope can also cause problems for the native in one sphere of life or the other. Hence, the need for Mercury to be benefic is a must meet condition for the formation of Bhadra Yoga in a horoscope.

Hence the refined definition of Bhadra Yoga says, if benefic Mercury is placed in the any one of the central houses of a horoscope in any one of the signs namely Gemini and Virgo, Bhadra Yoga is formed in such horoscope. This yoga may bless the native with success, fame, money, authority, recognition, intellect, versatility, skills, good health and many other good results; depending on the overall horoscope of the native in question.

Once the formation of Bhadra 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 Mercury in different houses, different signs, different nakshatras and different navamshas, as well as through the influence of other positive or negative planets on Mercury in a horoscope. For example, Bhadra Yoga formed due to the presence of exalted Mercury in the tenth house of a horoscope in Virgo can bless the native with good results through acting, sports, business, politics, manufacturing, media, communications, computers and software; event management industry, financial fields and many other good results, depending on his overall horoscope .

Moving on to conjunctions, if benefic exalted Mercury forms Bhadra Yoga in a horoscope and one or more than one benefic planet is placed with it, the benefic effects of such Bhadra Yoga will be enhanced and the native may benefit more. The type as well as quantum of such benefits depend on the planet in question as well as on the important attributes of such exalted Mercury and such planet. For example, if benefic exalted Mercury forms Bhadra yoga in the first house of a horoscope in Virgo and benefic debilitated Venus is placed with it, Neechbhang RajYoga may be formed in the horoscope which may bless the native with even better results. Such combination may bless the native with good results in a number of businesses, creative fields, artistic fields, sports, government services, politics and many other fields, depending on the overall horoscope of such native. For instance, If exalted Mercury is placed in Capricorn navamsha and debilitated Venus is placed in Pisces navamsha, the native may get blessed with a post of authority in the house of government through job or through politics, depending on his overall horoscope. Similarly, the presence of other benefic planets with Bhadra yoga in a horoscope can bless the native in various ways, depending on the relevant factors.

On the other hand, if exalted Mercury forms Bhadra yoga in a horoscope and at the same time, it is accompanied by malefic planets; such malefic planet or planets may dilute or corrupt the benefic effects of this yoga. For example, if benefic Mercury forms Bhadra Yoga in first house of a horoscope in Gemini and malefic Mars is also present along with it; the native may not enjoy benefits of such Bhadra Yoga; unless the rest of the horoscope is strong enough to counteract this affliction. The affliction of malefic Mars may spoil many good qualities rendered by Bhadra Yoga. As a result, the native may not have much control over his speech, he may become argumentative, he may speak too much and he may often land in trouble due to his words. Apart from this, the malefic influence of Mars can cause problems related to health, education, profession, mother, family and many other problems. In extreme cases, when supported by other malefic planets in horoscope, such malefic Mars can make the native engage in various types of criminal activities and the native may have to face court cases or even imprisonment due to them.

Looking at corrections, if a benefic combination of Moon and Jupiter is placed in tenth house of this horoscope in Pisces, forming Hamsa yoga as well as Gaj Kesari yoga; most of the malefic effects given by Mars may be cancelled or reduced. The combined effect of Hamsa yoga, Bhadra yoga and Gaj Kesari yoga may bless the native with wonderful results through profession as well as through many other spheres of life. Similarly, the conjunction of Mercury with other malefic planets in a horoscope can also dilute or corrupt the benefic effects of Bhadra yoga. The dilution, corruption and problems caused by such malefic planet depend on the overall horoscope of the native. Therefore, the effect of other good or bad planets on Mercury should also be checked before predicting the good or bad results indicated by Bhadra Yoga.

The next factor to check is the time of activation of Bhadra Yoga, like all other yogas. Even when actually formed in a horoscope, any good or bad Yoga may not be activated from the time of birth of the native and this activation may vary from person to person. It means that Bhadra Yoga present in different horoscopes may have different times of activation and accordingly, different natives may start benefitting from it during different ages. This is why you see some people witnessing such benefits at early ages, some during middle ages and some may witness such benefits late in their lives.

Above all, the overall theme of the horoscope having such Bhadra Yoga should be analyzed carefully as this is what matters the most. The overall theme of a horoscope is the most important aspect in it and it can change everything. For example, if Bhadra Yoga is formed due to the presence of Mercury in the first house of a horoscope in Gemini and the overall theme of the horoscope is indicating authority, the native may get blessed with a post of authority in government or in a private organization, through job, politics or through business; depending on his overall horoscope. Looking deeper, if the horoscope is showing good trends related to education, the native may achieve such authority through government job, by virtue of his education. However, if Bhadra Yoga is present in first house in Gemini, the overall theme is authoritative, education aspect is not very good and public dealing as well as diplomatic aspect is strong, the native may achieve a post of authority through politics.

Similarly, if Bhadra Yoga is formed in first house in Gemini and the overall theme is creative due to the combination of various planets, the native may become an actor, writer, dancer or a singer. Going deeper, if verbal abilities are enhanced, the native may become a singer or an actor whereas if writing abilities are enhanced, the native may become a writer. The enhancement in physical energy and skills may bend this native towards the field of dance. Considering one more possibility, if Bhadra Yoga is formed in first house in Gemini and the overall theme of the horoscope is creative as well as physical, the native may become a sportsman. It should be noted that in this type of horoscope, physical energies should be stronger than creative energies as otherwise; the native may become a creative professional instead of becoming a sportsman. The reason for this trend has already been explained in the chapter named Ruchaka Yoga.

Likewise, if Bhadra Yoga is formed in first house in Gemini, the overall theme of the horoscope is creative and writing abilities are enhanced in the horoscope, the native may become a book writer, a magazine writer or a print media journalist, depending on the rest of his horoscope. Going deeper, if the horoscope of this native shows enhanced public dealing and the possibility of a job than the possibility of an independent practice, the native may become a journalist or a magazine writer. However, if the horoscope of the native shows strong tendencies of engaging in free practice and less public dealing, he may become a book writer. Looking at one more combination, if Bhadra Yoga is formed in first house of a horoscope in Virgo or Gemini and the overall theme of the horoscope supports income through business, the native may achieve good results through businesses related to the domain of Mercury. Hence this native may engage in the field of mobile phones, internet, finances, training, coaching, information and technology, trading, marketing, advertising, software industry, TV media services, ecommerce and other such fields. Once again, the type of field chosen by the native and the quantum of success achieved by him depend on the overall theme of his horoscope.

Many other such combinations are also possible and that is why the overall theme of a horoscope is what matters the most. There are no doubts that if Bhadra Yoga of good strength forms in a horoscope, the native must benefit from it and he must achieve good results. However, the type of good results achieved by this native, the timing and the quantum of those good results are indicted by the overall theme of his horoscope.

Generally speaking, you can simply tell that something good is going to happen to the native having Bhadra Yoga in his horoscope. Specifically speaking, you can’t tell what type of good, how much good and when can such good happen to this native? Therefore, the overall theme of the horoscope becomes very important if you are interested in the detailed applications of Bhadra Yoga or any other good or bad Yog present in a horoscope.

Vimala Yoga

According to the prevalent definition of Vimala Yoga; if in a horoscope, the lord of the twelfth house is placed in the sixth or eighth house, Vimala Yog is formed in the horoscope. This yoga may bless the native with good character, health, wealth, property, power, authority, spiritual growth and other good results. The placement of the lord of the twelfth house in the twelfth house itself is not considered to form Vimala Yoga and it is considered as an exception to the formation of this type of Vipreet Rajyoga.

As already discussed in the chapter named Vipreet Raj Yoga, Vimala Yoga is one of three types of Vipreet Rajyoga. For any of these Yogas to be formed in a horoscope, two additional conditions should also meet, apart from the condition mentioned in its prevalent definition.

The first additional condition is that the lord of the twelfth house forming this Yoga in a horoscope by virtue of its placement in the sixth or eighth house of the same horoscope should be benefic. The second additional condition is that the overall horoscope should be benefic and strong. They seem like two conditions but in reality; they are one. It is because of the overall benefic and strong horoscope that that lord of the twelfth house may turn benefic and form Vimala Yoga in such horoscope.

Coming to the benefic results produced by this Yoga, it is a type of Vipreet Rajyoga and it is not a usual type of benefic Yoga. A usual type of benefic yoga is formed in favourable conditions in a horoscope whereas Vipreet Raj Yoga is formed in unusual or somewhat negative conditions. The world Vipreet means opposite and hence this yoga is formed in seemingly opposite or unusual conditions in a horoscope. Therefore in case of Vimala Yoga, the native under its impact may come across adverse or unusual type of opportunities and he may witness gains through such opportunities, if his overall horoscope is supportive.

Taking an example, a number of political parties may win different number of seats in election, but none of them may have clear majority. Hence a coalition government may be the only solution. One of the parties may have many elected members and they may stand good chances of forming government. However, most other political parties may not be willing to support this party; because of their projected candidate for chief minister or prime minster. The situation may get stuck and such political party may need another candidate who may be acceptable to the parties interested in forming government with them. A leader having Sarala Yoga may finally appear as the one who may be proposed as well as accepted by most/all other political parties. Hence such native may become chief minister or prime minister though he may not have been the projected candidate for such post.

Once the formation of Vimala Yoga is confirmed in a horoscope, the next thing to check is its strength. Contrary to most other yogas; the strength of this Yoga is not measured only by the strength of the planet forming this yoga in a horoscope. The strength of this yoga is measured by drawing a relative comparison between the strength of the planet involved in the formation of this Yoga; and the overall strength of the horoscope.

It means if the planet forming Vimala Yoga is strong in a horoscope, the overall horoscope should be even stronger. Likewise, if the planet forming this Yoga has average strength only; a relative less strong horoscope may be capable of handling it. In the second case, the overall results produced by this Yoga may decrease in quantum; since the planet forming this yoga as well as the overall horoscope is not that strong.

However, if such planet is strong but the overall horoscope is not capable of handling such strong and difficult planet; such planet may end up causing problems instead of a producing benefits. For this reason; Vimala Yoga is among the most difficult to detect yogas featured in Vedic astrology. The formation and working of this yoga hangs in fine balance. As long as the overall horoscope is strong enough to handle the planet forming Vimala Yoga; this yoga may produce benefic results. The moment a horoscope becomes incapable of controlling such planet; this yoga may start causing problems. It means this Yoga may cause problems; even when it is actually formed in a horoscope. This may happen in cases where the difference between the strength of the planet forming Vimala Yoga and that of the overall horoscope is not much.

In such cases; the key to the working of this yoga lies with the Mahadashas (planetary periods). As long as the Mahadashas of benefic planets controlling this yoga are in effect; Vimala Yoga may produce good or very good results. This is because the overall balance of the horoscope may shift more towards positivity; as these planets gain more strength through their Mahadashas. On the other hand, when the Mahadasha of the planet forming this Yoga is in effect, the native may face problems. This is because such planet gains extra strength through its Mahadasha. As that happens, the overall balance of the horoscope may shift more towards negativity. Hence the native may witness problems.

However, if the difference between the strength of the overall horoscope and that of the planet forming Vimala Yoga is big as well as in favor of the overall horoscope; even the Mahadasha of the planet forming this Yoga may produce very good results.

Hence Vimala Yoga is a different and special type of yoga and it is nothing like the regular yogas in Vedic astrology. Its formation as well as its strength primarily depends on the overall theme of horoscope. Hence the overall theme of horoscope holds the key to this Yoga.

Vimala Yoga indicates gains through risky and adverse looking situations. Hence the overall horoscope should be strong enough to benefit through such adverse and/or risky circumstances. Taking an example, suppose one such native deals in spiritual field. He may engage in such intense forms of meditation or worship with great discipline and perseverance; which most other natives may not even think of engaging in.

Such native may engage in meditation or worship; continuously for 10 to 20 years. Due to his overall strong horoscope; the native may succeed and he may emerge as a spiritual guru. Such native may start a new religion or a mission; having a large number of followers. He may also guide a number of people on the path of spiritualism. This situation is risky and most people may choose to avoid it. However, the native with Vimala Yoga may accept it as a challenge and he may benefit through it.

Taking another example, one such native may be a scientist. However he may be targeted by the ruling political party of his country due to his religion, race or his political views. Troubled by such problems or forced by the government; he may leave his country and move to another country. With time, he may settle well in such country. Such native may invent/discover something big and he may receive great honour, a post of authority in the government of such foreign country and a number of other benefits. Here again, Sarala Yoga may bless this native through adverse circumstances. The native may choose to leave his country instead of sacrificing his beliefs; in search for an uncertain future in an unknown/foreign country. However, he may achieve much more success in such country; than he may have achieved in his own country.

Likewise, Vimala Yoga may bless the natives under its influence with benefic results through other risky, sudden, mysterious, adverse and/or unfortunate situations.

Sarala Yoga

According to the prevalent definition of Sarala Yoga; if in a horoscope, the lord of the eighth house is placed in the sixth or twelfth house, Sarala Yog is formed in the horoscope. This yoga may bless the native with good character, health, knowledge, wisdom, wealth, property, victory over enemies, power, authority and other good results. The placement of the lord of the eighth house in the eighth house itself is not considered to form Sarala Yoga and it is considered as an exception to the formation of this type of Vipreet Rajyoga.

As already discussed in the chapter named Vipreet Raj Yoga, Sarala Yoga is one of three types of Vipreet Rajyoga. For any of these Yogas to be formed in a horoscope, two additional conditions should also meet, apart from the condition mentioned in its prevalent definition.

The first additional condition is that the lord of the eighth house forming this Yoga in a horoscope by virtue of its placement in the sixth or twelfth house of the same horoscope should be benefic. The second additional condition is that the overall horoscope should be benefic and strong. They seem like two conditions but in reality; they are one. It is because of the overall benefic and strong horoscope that that lord of the eighth house may turn benefic and form Sarala Yoga in such horoscope.

Coming to the benefic results produced by this Yoga, it is a type of Vipreet Rajyoga and it is not a usual type of benefic Yoga. A usual type of benefic yoga is formed in favourable conditions in a horoscope whereas Vipreet Raj Yoga is formed in unusual or somewhat negative conditions. The world Vipreet means opposite and hence this yoga is formed in seemingly opposite or unusual conditions in a horoscope. Therefore in case of Sarala Yoga, the native under its impact may come across adverse or unusual type of opportunities and he may witness gains through such opportunities, if his overall horoscope is supportive.

Taking an example, a political party may face serious problems on account of some issue/scandal. Though most leaders and designators of such party may try to avoid getting caught in such issue/scandal; one such native may come forward and handle it. He may get the party out of such issue or scandal and in the process; his position in the party may be consolidated a lot. Hence he may achieve a rank of high authority in such party, through adverse circumstances.

Once the formation of Sarala Yoga is confirmed in a horoscope, the next thing to check is its strength. Contrary to most other yogas; the strength of this Yoga is not measured only by the strength of the planet forming this yoga in a horoscope. The strength of this yoga is measured by drawing a relative comparison between the strength of the planet involved in the formation of this Yoga; and the overall strength of the horoscope.

It means if the planet forming Sarala Yoga is strong in a horoscope, the overall horoscope should be even stronger. Likewise, if the planet forming this Yoga has average strength only; a relative less strong horoscope may be capable of handling it. In the second case, the overall results produced by this Yoga may decrease in quantum; since the planet forming this yoga as well as the overall horoscope is not that strong.

However, if such planet is strong but the overall horoscope is not capable of handling such strong and difficult planet; such planet may end up causing problems instead of a producing benefits. For this reason; Sarala Yoga is among the most difficult to detect yogas featured in Vedic astrology. The formation and working of this yoga hangs in fine balance. As long as the overall horoscope is strong enough to handle the planet forming Sarala Yoga; this yoga may produce benefic results. The moment a horoscope becomes incapable of controlling such planet; this yoga may start causing problems. It means this Yoga may cause problems; even when it is actually formed in a horoscope. This may happen in cases where the difference between the strength of the planet forming Sarala Yoga and that of the overall horoscope is not much.

In such cases; the key to the working of this yoga lies with the Mahadashas (planetary periods). As long as the Mahadashas of benefic planets controlling this yoga are in effect; Sarala Yoga may produce good or very good results. This is because the overall balance of the horoscope may shift more towards positivity; as these planets gain more strength through their Mahadashas. On the other hand, when the Mahadasha of the planet forming this Yoga is in effect, the native may face problems. This is because such planet gains extra strength through its Mahadasha. As that happens, the overall balance of the horoscope may shift more towards negativity. Hence the native may witness problems.

However, if the difference between the strength of the overall horoscope and that of the planet forming Sarala Yoga is big as well as in favor of the overall horoscope; even the Mahadasha of the planet forming this Yoga may produce very good results.

Hence Sarala Yoga is a different and special type of yoga and it is nothing like the regular yogas in Vedic astrology. Its formation as well as its strength primarily depends on the overall theme of horoscope. Hence the overall theme of horoscope holds the key to this Yoga.

Sarala Yoga indicates gains through risky and adverse looking situations. Hence the overall horoscope should be strong enough to benefit through such adverse and/or risky circumstances. Taking an example, suppose one such native is a scientist. When his country is facing war and it may be on the losing side; the native may come up with a weapon which may change the course of war. By virtue of such weapon, his country may win this war and the native may get rewarded with a number of benefits. This situation is troublesome. However, the native may benefit through it; due to Sarala Yoga.

Taking another example, suppose a state/country is affected by terrorism/extremism. One such native may choose to move away from his country, in order to save his life. He may be able to do so with difficulty and he may have no resources in the country he’s moving to. However with effort, time and luck given by Sarala Yoga; he may settle in such foreign country. In a matter of years; he may earn much more than what he earned in his own country and he may enjoy much better life there. Though he may have moved there in adverse circumstances and he may have faced a number of problems; he may be rewarded very well in return.

Likewise, Sarala Yoga may bless the natives under its influence with benefic results through other risky, sudden, mysterious, adverse and/or unfortunate situations.

Harsha Yoga

According to the prevalent definition of Harsha Yoga; if in a horoscope, the lord of the sixth house is placed in the eighth or twelfth house, Harsha Yog is formed in the horoscope. This yoga may bless the native with health, wealth, good family life, financial gains, respect and influence in society, position of authority and other good results. The placement of the lord of the sixth house in the sixth house itself is not considered to form Harsha Yoga and it is considered as an exception to the formation of this type of Vipreet Rajyoga.

As already discussed in the chapter named Vipreet Raj Yoga, Harsha Yoga is one of three types of Vipreet Rajyoga. For any of these Yogas to be formed in a horoscope, two additional conditions should also meet, apart from the condition mentioned in its prevalent definition.

The first additional condition is that the lord of the sixth house forming this Yoga in a horoscope by virtue of its placement in the eighth or twelfth house of the same horoscope should be benefic. The second additional condition is that the overall horoscope should be benefic and strong. They seem like two conditions but in reality; they are one. It is because of the overall benefic and strong horoscope that that lord of the sixth house may turn benefic and form Harsha Yoga in such horoscope.

Coming to the benefic results produced by this Yoga, it is a type of Vipreet Rajyoga and it is not a usual type of benefic Yoga. A usual type of benefic yoga is formed in favourable conditions in a horoscope whereas Vipreet Raj Yoga is formed in unusual or somewhat negative conditions. The world Vipreet means opposite and hence this yoga is formed in seemingly opposite or unusual conditions in a horoscope. Therefore in case of Harsha Yoga, the native under its impact may come across adverse or unusual type of opportunities and he may witness gains through such opportunities, if his overall horoscope is supportive.

For example, if Harsha Yog is formed in a horoscope due to placement of lord of sixth house in the eighth house, the native may come across sudden opportunity to achieve gains through sudden death of a close relative. The father or some other close relative of such native may die in an accident or in some other sudden incident; and the native may gain money, wealth or even authority due to his death.

Once the formation of Harsha Yoga is confirmed in a horoscope, the next thing to check is its strength. Contrary to most other yogas; the strength of this Yoga is not measured only by the strength of the planet forming this yoga in a horoscope. The strength of this yoga is measured by drawing a relative comparison between the strength of the planet involved in the formation of this Yoga; and the overall strength of the horoscope.

It means if the planet forming Harsha Yoga is strong in a horoscope, the overall horoscope should be even stronger. Likewise, if the planet forming this Yoga has average strength only; a relative less strong horoscope may be capable of handling it. In the second case, the overall results produced by this Yoga may decrease in quantum; since the planet forming this yoga as well as the overall horoscope is not that strong.

However, if such planet is strong but the overall horoscope is not capable of handling such strong and difficult planet; such planet may end up causing problems instead of a producing benefits. For this reason; Harsha Yoga is among the most difficult to detect yogas featured in Vedic astrology. The formation and working of this yoga hangs in fine balance. As long as the overall horoscope is strong enough to handle the planet forming Harsha Yoga; this yoga may produce benefic results. The moment a horoscope becomes incapable of controlling such planet; this yoga may start causing problems. It means this Yoga may cause problems; even when it is actually formed in a horoscope. This may happen in cases where the difference between the strength of the planet forming Harsha Yoga and that of the overall horoscope is not much.

In such cases; the key to the working of this yoga lies with the Mahadashas (planetary periods). As long as the Mahadashas of benefic planets controlling this yoga are in effect; Harsha Yoga may produce good or very good results. This is because the overall balance of the horoscope may shift more towards positivity; as these planets gain more strength through their Mahadashas. On the other hand, when the Mahadasha of the planet forming this Yoga is in effect, the native may face problems. This is because such planet gains extra strength through its Mahadasha.

However, if the difference between the strength of the overall horoscope and that of the planet forming Harsha Yoga is big as well as in favor of the overall horoscope; even the Mahadasha of the planet forming this Yoga may produce very good results.

Hence Harsha Yoga is a different and special type of yoga and it is nothing like the regular yogas in Vedic astrology. Its formation as well as its strength primarily depends on the overall theme of horoscope. Hence the overall theme of horoscope holds the key to this Yoga.

Harsha Yoga indicates gains through risky and adverse looking situations. Hence the overall horoscope should be strong enough to benefit through such adverse and/or risky circumstances. Taking an example, suppose the situation of law and order becomes so bad in a city or state that most officers or administrators may not be willing to be posted there. Let’s assume it is a terrorism affected state and the post in question is the head of police force for such state. In this case, a native with Harsha Yoga may be promoted out of turn or he may be requested on deputation from another state; to deal with such terrorism.

This native may have dealt with such situations many times in his life and he may have achieved success in most cases. Hence his reputation may bring him this opportunity and he may grab it; owing to his overall horoscope. The situation is dangerous and most other officers may not be willing to take such high risk. However, this native may take such risk and he may be rewarded with a number of benefits.

Taking another example, suppose a native having Harsha Yoga in his horoscope suffers from a fatal health problem related to his heart. With time, his heart may deteriorate and he may reach a stage where heart transplant may be the only option left. During the same time, someone may meet with a fatal accident and such native or his family may agree to donate his heart to save the life of the native having Harsha Yoga. Here again, the native may be able to save his life by virtue of someone’s death.

Likewise, Harsha Yoga may bless the natives under its influence with benefic results through other risky, sudden, mysterious, adverse and/or unfortunate situations.

Vipreet Rajyoga

According to its definition prevalent in Vedic astrology, if in a horoscope, the lord of the sixth house, eighth house or twelfth house is placed in any one of the other two houses of the horoscope; Vipreet Rajyoga is formed in such horoscope. It means if in a horoscope; the lord of the sixth house is placed in the eighth or twelfth house, Vipreet Rajyoga is formed in the horoscope. Likewise, if the lord of the eighth house is placed in the sixth or twelfth house, Vipreet Rajyoga is formed in the horoscope. Similarly, if the lord of the twelfth house is placed in the sixth or eighth house, Vipreet Rajyoga is formed in the horoscope. Vipreet Rajyoga is divided into three categories. Let’s look at these three types of Vipreet Rajyogas.

Harsha Yoga: According to its prevalent definition, if in a horoscope, the lord of the sixth house is placed in the eighth or twelfth house, Harsha Yoga is formed in the horoscope. Harsha yoga may bless the native with healthy body, wealth, good family life, financial gains, respect and influence in society, position of authority and other good results. The placement of the lord of the sixth house in the sixth house itself is not considered to form Harsha Yoga and it is considered as an exception to the formation of this type of Vipreet Rajyoga.

Sarala Yoga: According to its prevalent definition, if in a horoscope, the lord of the eighth house is placed in the sixth or twelfth house, Sarala Yoga is formed in the horoscope. Sarala yoga may bless the native with good character, knowledge, wisdom, wealth, property, victory over enemies, power, authority and other good results. The placement of the lord of the eighth house in the eighth house itself is not considered to form Sarala Yoga and it is considered as an exception to the formation of this type of Vipreet Rajyoga.

Vimala Yoga: According to its prevalent definition, if in a horoscope, the lord of the twelfth house is placed in the sixth or eighth house, Vimala Yoga is formed in the horoscope. Vimala yoga may bless the native with good character, wealth, property, power, authority, spiritual growth and other good results. The placement of the lord of the twelfth house in the twelfth house itself is not considered to form Vimala Yoga and it is considered as an exception to the formation of this type of Vipreet Rajyoga.

The literal meaning of the word Vipreet is ‘opposite’. The name Vipreet Rajyoga itself suggests that it is not a usual type of yoga and it is different. In general, benefic yogas are formed by benefic planets and they are not formed by malefic planets. However, it is believed that Vipreet Rajyoga is formed due to malefic planets, placed in adverse circumstances. For example, the lord of the sixth house placed in the twelfth house seems like a difficult to handle situation. However, it is supposed to form Harsha Yoga in the horoscope. It is believed that each type of Vipreet Rajyoga produces benefic results through adverse circumstances. It means the native under the strong influence of Vipreet Rajyoga may achieve benefits through situations which may be troublesome or destructive.

Let’s first look at some facts related to the formation of Vipreet Rajyoga in a horoscope. Suppose Aries rises as an ascendant in a horoscope. It means Virgo falls in the sixth house and Mercury becomes the lord of the sixth house. Scorpio falls in the eighth house and Mars becomes the lord of the eighth house. Pisces falls in the twelfth house and Jupiter becomes the lord of the twelfth house. Considering Mercury first, the probability of placement of Mercury in two specific houses which are the eighth and the twelfth house; out of twelve houses in total is 2 in 12. Looking at Mars, the probability of placement of Mars in the sixth or twelfth house is also 2 in 12. Similarly, the probability of placement of Jupiter in the sixth or eighth house is also 2 in 12.

Combining these results; the probability for the formation of one type of Vipreet Rajyoga or another in a horoscope is about 6 in 12. The word ‘almost’ has been used since two or three of these lords may be placed together in a single house, in some cases. According to these calculations, Vipreet Rajyoga is formed in every second horoscope. Accordingly, every second native should witness the benefits associated with Vipreet Rajyoga; depending on which type of Rajyoga he has in his horoscope.

This definition seems difficult to hold in real life. This is because; not every second native is seen enjoying the benefits offered by Vipreet Rajyoga. It means the prevalent definition of Vipreet Rajyoga lacks something. Let’s try to find out if Vipreet Rajyoga may actually form in a horoscope? If it does, what may be the conditions for its formation?

As we have been seeing again and again; benefic planets form good yogas and malefic planets form bad yogas. However, the definition of Vipreet Rajyoga goes against this rule; or it may only seems to do so. Malefic planets don’t form benefic yogas in a horoscope and this rule holds good. It means if Vipreet Rajyoga is actually formed in a horoscope; the planet involved in its formation may only seem to be malefic. It means such planet may look like a malefic planet but in reality; it may work as a benefic planet in such horoscope.

In general, the lords of the sixth, eighth and twelfth house have significant tendencies to produce malefic results. However, it should not be taken as a fixed rule as any rule can change in a horoscope; depending on its overall theme. This means that under specific conditions, even the lords of these three houses may work as functional benefic planets in a horoscope. The same theory also gives us the result that under specific conditions; the lords of the benefic houses may also behave as functional malefic planets in a horoscope. It means that even the lord of the ascendant, fourth house, fifth house, ninth house or tenth house may behave as a functional malefic planet in a horoscope; under specific conditions.

The sum total of these specific conditions is called the overall theme of a horoscope and this theme may be different in different cases. It means these specific conditions are not fixed ones and each horoscope has the potential to make its own set of specific conditions. This set of specific conditions is what I call the overall theme of horoscope. Since it has the potential to turn supposedly benefic planets into malefic planets and malefic planets into benefic planets; it becomes the most important aspect in a horoscope. This is why I assign so much importance to the overall theme of a horoscope.

The condition of placement of lords of certain specific houses in certain specific houses in a horoscope should be considered as an eligibility criterion for the formation of Vipreet Rajyoga. Once this criterion is met; we proceed to the primary condition for its formation. The primary condition for the formation of Vipreet Rajyoga is that the overall theme of the horoscope should be supportive for it. Unless this condition is met in a horoscope after the eligibility criterion is met; Vipreet Rajyoga may not form in such horoscope.

After understanding all this, let’s now look at the relevant definition of Vipreet Rajyoga. If a horoscope is strong enough to handle the energy of the sixth house and the lord of the sixth house is placed in the eighth or twelfth house; Harsha yoga may be formed in such horoscope. If a horoscope is strong enough to handle the energy of the eighth house and its lord is placed in the sixth or twelfth house, Sarala Yoga may be formed in such horoscope. Similarly, if a horoscope is strong enough to handle the energy of the twelfth house and its lord is placed in the sixth or eighth house; Vimala Yoga may be formed in the horoscope.

Once the formation of Vipreet Rajyoga is confirmed in a horoscope, the next thing to check is its strength. Contrary to most other yogas; the strength of Vipreet Rajyoga is not measured only by the strength of the planet forming this yoga in a horoscope. The strength of this yoga is measured by drawing a relative comparison between the strength of the planet involved in the formation of Vipreet Rajyoga; and the overall strength of the horoscope. It means if the planet forming Vipreet Rajyoga is strong in a horoscope, the overall horoscope should be even stronger. Likewise, if the planet forming Vipreet Rajyoga has average strength only; a relative less strong horoscope may be capable of handling it. In the second case, the overall results produced by Vipreet Rajyoga may decrease in quantum; since the planet forming this yoga as well as the overall horoscope is not that strong.

However, if such planet is strong but the overall horoscope is not capable of handling such strong and difficult planet; such planet may end up causing problems instead of a producing benefits. For this reason; Vipreet Rajyoga is among the most difficult to detect yogas featured in Vedic astrology. The formation and working of this yoga hangs in fine balance. As long as the overall horoscope is strong enough to handle the planet forming Vipreet Rajyoga; this yoga may produce benefic results. The moment a horoscope becomes incapable of controlling such planet; this yoga may start causing problems. It means Vipreet Rajyoga may cause problems; even when it is actually formed in a horoscope. This may happen in cases where the difference between the strength of the planet forming Vipreet Rajyoga and that of the overall horoscope is not much.

In such cases; the key to the working of this yoga lies with the planetary periods. As long as the planetary periods of the planets controlling this yoga are in effect; Vipreet Rajyoga may produce good or very good results. This is because the overall balance of the horoscope may shift more towards positivity; as these planets gain more strength through their planetary periods. On the other hand, when the planetary period of the planet forming Vipreet Rajyoga is in effect, the native may face problems. This is because such planet gains extra strength through its planetary period. As that happens, the overall balance of the horoscope may shift more towards negativity. Hence the native may witness problems. However, if the difference between the strength of the overall horoscope and that of the planet forming Vipreet Rajyoga is big as well as in favor of the overall horoscope; even the planetary periods of the planet forming Vipreet Rajyoga may produce very good results.

Hence Vipreet Rajyoga is a different and special type of yoga and it is nothing like the regular yogas in Vedic astrology. Its formation as well as its strength primarily depends on the overall theme of horoscope. Hence the overall theme of horoscope holds the key to Vipreet Rajyoga.

Vipreet Rajyoga indicates gains through risky and adverse looking situations. Hence the overall horoscope should be strong enough to benefit through such adverse and risky circumstances. For example, if a big social and political revolution is taking place in a geographical region, the natives having Vipreet Rajyogas in their horoscopes may benefit through these conditions. Such natives may emerge as leaders and they may lead such revolution. Depending on the types of Vipreet Rajyoga as well as depending on their overall horoscopes; different natives may benefit differently from such revolution. It means a native may become the head of a state through such revolution, another native may become a minister and yet another native may receive benefits which are even less in quantum.

Hence the presence of any type of Vipreet Rajyoga in a horoscope may provide sudden, profitable and at the same time risky opportunities to the native. Though most people may not wish to take chances with such opportunities due to the high risk element involved; such natives may grab these opportunities. Since their overall horoscopes may be capable enough to handle such risks, they may benefit through such risky but rewarding opportunities.

For example, the formation of Harsha Yoga in a horoscope due to the presence of the lord of the sixth house in the eighth house may bless the native with wealth, money, recognition and authority through adverse circumstances. The native may achieve these benefits by virtue of someone’s death, by virtue of someone’s loss and other such phenomena. For instance, if the head of a state is assassinated and chaos rules the country; the native having such Vipreet Rajyoga may be chosen as the next candidate for this post. This is not a regular situation and it is an emergency created by sudden and unfortunate events. By virtue of Vipreet Rajyoga, the native may be able to benefit through such opportunity.

Let’s consider an example for Sarala Yoga. Suppose the native under the influence of this yoga is a doctor who also deals in research. When disease is spread all around and panic rules supreme, this native may come up with a medicine or vaccine to cure such disease or to prevent it from happening in the first place. Such native may become an overnight celebrity by virtue of his invention. Though many others may have lost hope to find such vaccine, this native may take it as an opportunity and he may engage in this mission.

Let’s take an example for Vimala Yoga. Suppose the native under the influence of Vimala Yoga is a high rank army officer. During the times of distress, he may give his consent to lead an army operation on enemy soil; when many other officers may not be willing to do so. This native may undertake such mission, he may complete it and he may get rewarded.

Through this discussion, it may be seen that the word Vipreet holds good in two senses for this yoga. The first one of them is that this yoga is formed by the opposite type of planets. It means this yoga is formed by the planets which are supposed to be malefic; according to the general rule. However, such malefic planets turn into their exact opposites; which are benefic planets. The second sense is that Vipreet Rajyoga may almost always bless the native with benefits through adverse or opposite looking circumstances. It means when most people may choose to run in a situation; the native with Vipreet Rajyoga may choose to face such situation. Hence he is doing the exact opposite or Vipreet of what most other people are doing.
