Gaja Kesari “elephant lion” Yoga
1. Jupiter in an angle from the Moon, and joined or aspected by a benefic, avoiding at the same time debilitation, inimical rasi, or combustion.
2. Jupiter in an angle from the Moon.
“One will be splendorous, wealthy, long-lived, energetic, renowned, intelligent, endowed with many laudable virtues, pleasing the king, and having great money and grains. One will destroy, like a lion, all his enemies and conquer everything by his own valor.”
This is a well-known yoga that indicates intelligence, a happy attitude, and protection from adversity. It is particularly noted for wealth, and the houses involved will indicate sources of wealth. The first version, requiring Jupiter to be under benefic influence and not in a bad dignity or combust, is much more significant and effective. In this case it is Jupiter that is the significant planet in the yoga and the planet that will give the greater rise, success and wealth. The version that is formed simply by Jupiter’s placement on an angle from the Moon is very common, occurring in one out of three horoscopes and is not very significant by itself, though if Jupiter and/or the Moon are involved in other yogas their formation of this simple Gaja Kesari Yoga will be a contributing factor for success and wealth.
Sankha “conch shell” Yoga
The 5th and 6th lords in mutual angles, and the lagna lord strong.
“One will be endowed with wealth, spouse, sons, and land. Having a life of enjoyment, one is also kindly disposed, compassionate, propitious, intelligent, meritorious, beneficent, and long-lived. One has knowledge of the sacred scriptures, is well conducted, and may live one year after the tale of eighty is completed. One has the authority to discipline or to punish.”
The Sankha Yoga formed by the first condition of the 5th and 6th lords in mutual angles supports self-employment or authority and rids the native of performing service. It also indicates a healer or doctor very capable of removing disease in the event that other factors in the horoscope indicate a healer.
Sarada “mature” Yoga:
Jupiter in the 11th from Mercury, and Jupiter in an angle from the Moon.
“One will take particular care of their wives, sons, relatives, personal appearance, and virtues; they are in favor with their sovereigns and show reverence to preceptors, Brahmins and gods; they take delight in literary pursuits and have a good deal of amiability, religious merit and strength. They are also attentive to their worldly duties.”
Jupiter in the 11th from Mercury in these four versions of Sarada Yoga indicates a native who gains greatly from the use of their intelligence and skill.
Chandra “Moon” Yoga
The 10th lord in an angle, trine, or 2nd from the Moon.
“One becomes a king having special kinds of gems, diamonds and jewels.”
This common yoga indicates the importance of the relationship between one’s mind and one’s karmas. The 10th lord in an angle, trine, or in the 2nd from the Moon indicates harmony between one’s mind and karmas. The native’s actions will correspond with their mentality and they will be more comfortable with their works. On the other hand, the 10th lord not in these places indicates a lack of harmony, or conflict in the case of the 10th lord being in the 6th or 8th from the Moon, between one’s mind and karmas. In this case the natives actions don’t necessarily correspond to their mentality, and they don’t feel as comfortable with their works. This yoga, by itself, is not a very powerful success producer but it does exert an important influence upon the native’s relationship to not only their career, but to all the deeds they are required to perform.
Parvata “mountain” Yoga
The dispositor of the lagna lord is in its exaltation rasi or own rasi, and in an angle or trine.
“Doing acts causing eternal benefit, one will have everlasting wealth and happiness, and become the lord of the Earth.”
This yoga simply illustrates the importance of the dispositor. If the dispositor is well placed by being in a favorable house and in good dignity, the planets it rules benefits.
Subha “auspicious yoga” Yoga
A benefic in the lagna.
“One will be eloquent, charming, handsome, amiable, worthy, and virtuous.”
A benefic in the lagna is a grace to the horoscope and affords one skills and abilities respective of the benefic planet. The houses the planet rules indicate the good things in life that healthily form and shape the nature of the native, and that which they enjoy from birth. Any yogas that the benefic may form create ease, well-being, happiness and physical well-being.
Budha Aditya “Mercury/Sun” Yoga
Mercury conjunct the Sun.
“One is highly intelligent, skillful, of good reputation, personal respect and surrounded by comforts and happiness.”
This is a simple and common yet important yoga. The house that the Sun and Mercury both fall in will be an area where the native will make progress through their skill, intelligence, productivity, and practicality. If Mercury is combust this yoga will still indicate skill, intelligence, etc., however, the results of a combust planet’s avastha, Kopa- angry, will cause frustration to the house these planets fall in as well as to the houses that Mercury rules, so the happiness will be marred.
Chandra Mangala “Moon/Mars” Yoga
The Moon conjunct Mars.
“One deals with drinks, earthen jars, crude instruments and women. He is disobedient with this mother. Goddess Lakshmi will never desert him, just as modesty does not leave a noble woman of any good family.”
Chandra Mangala Yoga is particularly noted for giving wealth and a capable commercial ability. The association of Mars with the Moon indicates some lack of mental peace due to one’s outlook on life being strongly conditioned by one’s preconceived ideas and concepts. This causes the native to become angry and frustrated when life manifests in a manner contrary to how they think things should be. This yoga can give wealth, but it often does so through the dealing of that which people desire and those things that do nothing to benefit humanity. Mars, being a planet of strong opinions, joined with the Moon, the karaka for the mother, indicates that the native and their mother will have different views on some things, creating a potential for conflict.
DASA INDEPENDENT FOUNDATION YOGAS
Vesi Yoga
A planet, not including the Moon, Rahu or Ketu, in the 2nd from the Sun.
“One born in Vesi Yoga will be even sighted, soft-spoken, firm in word, truthful, happy, bold, dear to his men, and popular among relations. Long-bodied, and indolent he will walk slowly, and have a bent body. He will be well balanced in his earning and spending and be endowed with some wealth. Malefics forming this yoga will give contrary effects.”
Planets forming Vesi Yoga rise after the Sun; therefore, these planets are those that the native applies to that which they have in their lives, as compared to planets forming Vosi Yoga, which are used for purposes of initiation. Planets forming Vesi Yoga are not as activating and initializing as planets forming Vosi Yoga, rather they are what the native uses to benefit from and take advantage of that which they do have. The traits of these planets will become more noticeable as one gets to know the native. Since the Sun is a very activating and initializing planet, Vosi Yoga is a bit more powerful than Vesi Yoga. Classical texts, therefore, give Vesi Yoga slightly less influential results than they give Vosi Yoga.
Classical texts also give very different results to Vesi Yoga being formed by benefics vs. malefics:
“The person born in an Asubhavesi Yoga (Vesi Yoga formed by malefics) is bereft of riches and comforts, very stupid, afflicted with lust, ugly faced, and will lose his splendor. Evil minded and wicked, he is fond of the bad and low, delights in murder, unjustly vilifies others, and may have to go into exile.”
Malefics forming Vesi Yoga indicate that the native takes care of, benefits from and uses things in their life in a more stressful manner, which include pushing, taking things to the limit, putting things to hard use, etc. As one gets to know the native, tough, determined, opinionated, etc. qualities become evident in their nature. Malefics forming Vesi Yoga do indicate greater stress and difficulties with those things in the native’s life, however, they also become more productive, so any other good yogas they are forming become more powerful and success producing.
Like Vosi Yoga, Saravali gives different results for the different planets that may be forming Vesi Yoga:
Saturn”One will resemble an old person and be wicked, fraudulent in disposition, contemptuous and join others’ wives. He will, however, have wealth.”
Saturn forming Vesi Yoga by being in the 2nd from the Sun indicates natives that tightly hold onto what they have and make every effort to benefit from it. There is a tendency to overuse that which they have, or to not take proper care of what they have, and to eventually discard it or wear it out. Qualities of seriousness, reserve, coldness, detachment, lack of care, or selfishness become more apparent as one gets to know these natives. If there are factors for strong spirituality in the horoscope, then Saturn gives qualities of detachment with respect to what they have and what they are in charge of.
Kemadruma Yoga
If Anapha, Sunapha or Durudhara Yogas are not present, Kemadruma Yoga is formed.
“One born in Kemadruma Yoga, though born in a princely race, becomes obscure, inimically disposed, miserable, reproached; and bereft of intelligence and learning. Given to base ways and wickedly inclined, one falls from his religion. One is reduced to penury and perils, drudging as a menial and wandering, as well as being deprived of livelihood, wife, children, residence, robes, friends, food and drink. The native will suffer extreme difficulties, sickness and filthiness.”
Kemadruma Yogas are amongst the worse yogas that ruin a horoscope, making it difficult for the native to actualize anything of benefit in their lives. Amongst Kemadruma Yogas this one is perhaps the worst and one of the two of greatest importance. The Moon is a very fickle and unsteady planet that rules the mind. It is important that a planet besides the Sun, Rahu or Ketu is in the 2nd or 12th from the Moon in order to lend some firmness, stability and direction to the mind, which is necessary in order for the native to succeed with any vision that they may have. Failing this, the mind remains unanchored and becomes a source of trouble. Fortunately there are several factors that cancel this terrible form of Kemadruma Yoga, which are being given in order of significance:
A planet, other than the Sun, Rahu or Ketu in an angle (including the 1st) from the Moon.
This is the most significant Kemadruma Yoga cancellation. The planet on an angle from the Moon serves to stabilize and focus the mind. A planet in the 4th or 10th from the Moon does this particularly and is the next best thing to having a planet in the 2nd or 12th. In fact similar effects as Anapha, Sunapha and Durudhara Yogas are said to occur if the 4th and 10th houses from the Moon are occupied by any of Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus or Saturn, and some astrologers actually consider these yogas to be formed by planets in the 4th and 10th from the Moon, though they are not considered authoritative. These planets in the 4th and 10th house from the Moon will influence the native less than when in the 2nd and 12th from the Moon, but if there are none of these planets in the 2nd or 12th from the Moon, then any of these planets in the 4th or 10th become very significant and important.
In all cases when there is Kemadruma Yoga and its cancellation, it is not as beneficial as having one of Anapha, Sunapha or Durudhara Yoga. When one of these yogas is present the native maintains poise and equilibrium when confronted by new experiences, the Lunar Yoga forming planets in the 2nd and 12th from the Moon ground and stabilize the native. When there are no planets in the 2nd and 12th from the Moon the native has nothing solid to react upon when confronted by new experiences and it takes them a moment to get centered. In this case, if the resulting Kemadruma Yoga is cancelled, the planets canceling the Kemadruma Yoga are what the native relies upon in order to catch their balance. The norm and average is for Anapha, Sunapha or Durudhara Yoga not to be present, but for the resulting Kemadruma Yoga to be cancelled. When Anapha, Sunapha or Durudhara Yogas are found, consider them to be a benefit to the horoscope.
Any planet, other than Rahu or Ketu, on an angle from the lagna.
Any planet on an angle serves to focus and direct the native; therefore, these planets can avert the troublesome effects of Kemadruma Yoga. Mentally, however, the native will be somewhat fickle and unfocused.
In all cases when there is Kemadruma Yoga and its cancellation, it is not as beneficial as having one of Anapha, Sunapha or Durudhara Yoga. When one of these yogas is present the native maintains poise and equilibrium when confronted by new experiences, the Lunar Yoga forming planets in the 2nd and 12th from the Moon ground and stabilize the native. When there are no planets in the 2nd and 12th from the Moon the native has nothing solid to react upon when confronted by new experiences and it takes them a moment to get centered. In this case, if the resulting Kemadruma Yoga is cancelled, the planets canceling the Kemadruma Yoga are what the native relies upon in order to catch their balance. The norm and average is for Anapha, Sunapha or Durudhara Yoga not to be present, but for the resulting Kemadruma Yoga to be cancelled. When Anapha, Sunapha or Durudhara Yogas are found, consider them to be a benefit to the horoscope.
Sama “mediocre” Yoga
The Moon in a panaphara (2nd, 5th, 8th or 11th house) from the Sun.
The native’s wealth, intelligence, knowledge, and skill shall be middling.
These are important yogas that must be used correctly or else they will be misleading. A casual observation of only a few horoscopes will reveal that there are wealthy, intelligent, and knowledgeable personages with the Moon in an angle from the Sun, and those of lesser abilities and wealth born with the Moon in an apoklima from the Sun. These yogas obviously, therefore, do not impose a restriction upon the native’s wealth or intelligence. The Moon gives growth of all things and the light of the Moon is dependent upon the Sun, therefore, the growth and realization of any productive yoga, whether one that grants success, wealth, marriage, children, or anything else, is dependent upon the Moon’s placement from the Sun, which indicates the level of preparedness with which the native meets the fructification of a productive yoga. These three yogas are not meant to indicate the full measure of the native’s wealth, intelligence and skill, but only to indicate the measure of wealth, intelligence and skill the native has upon the initiation of a productive yoga with which to bring the results of the yoga to fruition.
When Sama Yoga (mediocre yoga) is present the Moon is in a panaphara from the Sun. Panapharas represent receptivity of an activity. Therefore, in horoscope with the Moon in a panaphara from the Sun, the native is relatively well prepared to be receptive to what is to transpire upon the fruition of a good yoga. The results being they are relatively well prepared and have a reasonable amount of the resourcefulness, education and skillfulness required upon the initiation of a good yoga to smoothly bring things to fruition.
Following are a few important yogas from the book Core Yogas that Kala is not smart enough to find yet, but which are well worth checking for manually:
Kalpadruma “tree of plenty” Yoga
The lagna lord, its dispositor, the dispositor of that, and the navamsa lord of the last must be in an angle, trine, own rasi or exaltation rasi.
“One will be a pious, strong, and merciful king endowed with all kinds of wealth, and fond of war.”
This yoga further illustrates the concept of dispositors, including the navamsa dispositor. The more times a dispositor of a dispositor is well placed, the more auspicious the original planet in question becomes. Kalpadruma yoga, like Parijatha Yoga, helps the native to fulfill every desire.
Parijatha “celestial coral tree” Yoga
The dispositor of the lord of the lagna lord, and the navamsa lord of that dispositor, must be in an angle, trine, own rasi or exaltation rasi.
“One will be a sovereign attentive to their duty and engagements, of compassionate disposition, destined to be happy in the middle and latter portion of life, respected and obeyed by other kings, fond of war, and possessing elephants and horses.”
The Parijatha is a celestial tree that has the power to grant wishes. This yoga, therefore, helps the native to fulfill every desire. This yoga emphasizes the importance of the navamsa dispositor of a planet, which is just as important as its rasi dispositor.

LAGNA IS CANCER
To Cancer lagna, life and their well being is very dependent upon their mental attitude. They make inner adjustments to the varying factors of life and their ability to do so decides the quality of their life. They feel everything and are sensitive, but the degree of happiness they have depends upon their ability to feel what they feel with the understanding that feelings are just a reflection and therefore a particular feeling should not be considered more preferable than another. If they are unable to do this, then their feelings may be a source of suffering in their lives. Their actions are largely motivated by their needs; the degree that they need to have their needs fulfilled by external sources determines their happiness. The degree to which they understand that their needs are responsible for their happiness or unhappiness, and not the external fulfilling of those needs, determines their level of happiness and contentment.
The evolutionary goal is to develop the opposing quality of Capricorn; they must learn that even though they have within them the ability to fulfill all their needs, that this leads to a corresponding external fulfillment of the needs as well, and that those activities are an important part of their development. Along with this they must also learn that if their needs are being threatened by external factors, that they still have some work to do with maintaining their own capacity to fulfill their needs. This generally gives partnerships with those that are more capable of fulfilling their needs through external factors, or partners that force the native to develop their ability to fulfill their needs externally.
RAHU AND KETU
KETU IN THE 11TH HOUSE, RAHU IN THE 5TH HOUSE: Ketu in the 11th house indicates that the native has experienced happiness through fulfilling their goals and realizing their desires. There has generally been an excess of external living as well as dependence upon peers of like-minded individuals to provide security. In this lifetime Ketu gives a growing discontent with these things and a tendency to get involved with groups that do not provide the expected happiness which leaves the native less enthusiastic about their involvement.
Rahu in the 5th house indicates mental disquiet and the need for the native to focus on what they, themselves, are inspired towards. Generally, the native has some confusion about what they are inspired towards, and the result is generally a discontented mentality. If Rahu is causing a raja yoga, however, the native may be incredibly focused and creative. There is particularly a need for the native to validate themselves for their activities and to express what they are inspired to express for its own sake rather than for the sake of acceptance or validation by others. Rahu here often forces this by creating a loss of dignity.
KETU IN TAURUS, RAHU IN SCORPIO: Ketu in Taurus indicates that the native in recent past lives has attempted to create security by being secure in the material world, this usually means through wealth and practical resourcefulness. Identifying with these has provided security and stability in a world that is not entirely so. In this lifetime Ketu indicates a growing discontentment with materiality, as well as a tendency to disrupt any material structures of security, and in so doing the evolutionary goal of Ketu to free the native from material attachments is accomplished. Ketu in Taurus also indicates that the native is completing their karmas with respect to those material things that have provided security. Those things being indicated by the house position of Ketu as well as the planets influenced by Ketu.
Rahu in Scorpio indicates incredibly strong needs, needs that are not fulfilled by any security that the physical world has to offer. This may cause the native to compulsively feed of something that appears to fulfill a need, but when it is seen that this need is not fulfilled, another is sought. As long as the native is attempting to fulfill their needs through any physical manifestation, they will find themselves feeling empty and unfulfilled. As they are able to gain more inner security, they become capable of greater happiness.
Ketu in Taurus also indicates strong material attachments formed in recent past lives, while Rahu in Scorpio indicates the transmutation of these attachments as a result of experiencing a lack of security.
KETU/SUN: The influence of Ketu on the Sun is to free the native from ego identification. Ketu creates strong self-doubts that cause the native to feel a lack in everything they do. There is a strong need to establish perfection in their actions. This perfection is never realized, as Ketu is presided by the Absolute aspect of God, and thus a level of accomplishment that would satisfy him is not to be found in the material. All other levels of accomplishment leave a nagging feeling of doubt; what the native is aware of is what he did not do, the perfection they did not accomplish. Until the native is able to free themselves from the attachment of seeing themselves as the doer these painful self-doubts persist. Once the native understands that a perfect accomplishment consists of the results of one’s karmas, plus or minus any merits or demerits, plus any grace, then he becomes free of these doubts that are really just the result of being attached to one’s role and seeing themselves as the doer.
Ketu influencing the Sun is also indicative of the native having a degree of importance or influence in their recent past lives, as well as having felt accomplished in manifesting their destiny. Again the doubts given by Ketu cause the native to be hidden and feel insecure in order that they free themselves from the limited security given by importance, power and influence.
KETU/MERCURY: The influence of Ketu on Mercury indicates a nativity that in recent past lives has established a security foundation in the world that was based upon their intellectual understanding of things, the nature of the world, etc. In this life they experience great doubts with their rational understanding, and they always feel like there is a bit of information missing that they need before they can close the case, make a decision, etc. This forces them to rely on their gut feeling, intuition, taking a chance, etc. in short to force them to go beyond the need of the intellect.
The intellect, having provided such security in the past, is rigid when confronted with ideas or concepts that are at variance with the native’s paradigm or understanding, as these new ideas are felt as a threat to one’s security. This causes initial resistance and even debate with those bringing new ideas or concepts, and the Ketu/Mercury native will always be able to win an intellectual debate, but later, when alone, the native experiences doubts once again that force them to acknowledge something outside their understanding.
At worst, this combination may cause one to be indecisive, and experience anxiety if they are unable to listen to their intuition, or do not have faith in a greater guiding principle than their own intellects. On the useful side, this combination gives a great research mind and the capacity for deep thinking.
KETU/VENUS: The influence of Ketu on Venus (with rasi aspect) indicates a nativity that has developed great tact and diplomacy when dealing with all mundane affairs of life as well as having enjoyed much of the pleasures the world can afford. In this life the native experiences a general discontent with worldly delights, even though there is an initial expectation of fulfillment from these things. In a spiritual nativity this influence may be conducive to developing spiritual devotion.
Venus is a planet of pride, under the influence of Ketu, humility is being developed and pride is never excessive.
RAHU/VENUS: The influence of Rahu on Venus (with rasi aspect) indicates a native with a very powerful desire nature that causes disruption with what they want, particularly with regards to relationships. There is generally a tendency to experience powerful hypnotic attractions to individuals of the opposite sex. These attractions are the result of one aspect of the person to whom the native is attracted to seem like the all, when in fact it is only one small aspect that the native is attracted to. This small aspect is something that the native is attempting to develop within himself at the time of the attraction. The result is a tendency to “fall in love” before seeing the person completely for what they are, which results in eventual disappointment or discontentment. Maintaining balance and harmony in relationships are found to be difficult for the native and they need to develop some discrimination with regards to whom they fall in love with, as those people they fall in love with rarely validate their love or fulfill their desire.
Venus represents conscious desires. Rahu represents subconscious desires, primal desires, hopes, wishes, fantasies, strange longings, etc. Putting these together may result in a very compulsive desire nature, which has little chance of fulfillment. The resulting discontent may eventually serve to motivate the native towards some spiritual fulfillment, provided there are strong spiritualizing factors in the horoscope.
EXALTED, DEBILITATED, AND COMBUST PLANETS
DEBILITATED RAHU: If Rahu is debilitated the native is easily overwhelmed and disappointed as they are searching for something barely felt and intangible. Even they are not clear on what it is which they seek. This lends towards compulsions and disappointments.
If Rahu has its debilitation cancelled the native has the capacity to go within and develop an interior life that provides them with security. This usually only comes after great struggles and disappointments, but the native has no choice but to learn this.
DEBILITATED KETU: If Ketu is debilitated the native is unable to find security in the material world, though he will make half-hearted attempts to find this and remain frustrated.
If Ketu has its debilitation cancelled, the native is better able to become free of material attachments and needs. This comes after great struggle, for overcoming the debilitation of the nodes is a very arduous task.
