Kartari Yoga
:This group o& yoga6s is caused by planets being placed around a certain house andor planet. The
mostgenerally occurring 7artari yoga is when two bene&ics or mali&ics enclose a planet or a house.
Sunapha Yoga
: 8lanets in the second house /other then the *un0 calculated &rom the oon 9 richness# &inancial bene&its.
Thee&&ects o& this are stronger i& bene&ics are situated in the second house calculated &rom the oon.
*hould there be one ormore male&ics in this second house &rom the oon# the e&&ect will be limited# or
there will be no e&&ect at all.
Anapha Yoga
: 8lanets in the twel&th house /other then the *un0 calculated &rom the oon ( religious. This e&&ect
increases i& there are bene&ics in the twel&th house calculated &rom the oon# but should it concern one or
more male&ics# the e&&ect islimited or non(e&&ective. In 7ennedys horoscope# *aturn is in the eleventh
house# which is the twel&th house calculated &romthe oon. He was not known to be a particularly religious
man.
Durudhura Yoga
: 8lanets /other then the *un0 in both the twel&th and the second house calculated &rom the oon ( rich
andhigh morals /especially i& it concerns bene&icial planets0.
Kemadruma Yoga
: There are no planets in either the twel&th or the second house calculated &rom the oon. ;ther planetsdo not
support the &unctions o& the oon. The person will &eel lonely and lead a rather di&&icult li&e. There are
many ways inwhich this di&&icult yoga can be neutralised. An e!ample: should the oon be in either a kendra
or a trikona house# incon)unction with another planet or being aspected by $upiter this yoga will be greatly
neutralised.
eshi Yoga
: 'hen a planet /other then the oon0 is in the second house calculated &rom the *un# it &orms a veshi yoga.
Thisyoga gives riches and status# at least when this yoga is &ormed by bene&ics. I& it is &ormed by
male&ics it can lead to all kindso& problems.
oshi Yoga
: This occurs when a planet /other then the oon0 is placed in the twel&th house calculated &rom the *un.
Thisyoga supports spiritual development and intelligence# at least when it is &ormed by a bene&ic. A male&ic
in the twel&th housecalculated &rom the *un will give us problems.
!"hayachari Yoga
: There is a planet /other then the oon0 in both the second and the twel&th house calculated &rom the*un.
This brings good &ortune in many areas# but again only i& it involves bene&ics. ale&ics will create
trouble. This yogamakes native talkative# intelligent# strong# taking care o& his relatives# &avours &rom
<ovt# superiors# active# elo+uent#sympathetic# helping others
Dhana Yoga :
=hana Yoga brings material wealth and money# because it links the money houses 1# ># 11 5# .
Thecombination o& any one o& these houses combined with the 1st house ruler would bring wealth to the
individual. Actually anycombination o& these houses would create =hana Yoga# but the1st house combination
is the strongest.
Ra#a Yoga
: The lords o& a kendra and a trikona house are in con)unction# mutually aspected or in reception. This is
acombination o& good &ortune /trikona house0 and action /kendra house0# so take advantage o& it. I would
like to point out thata ra)a yoga could be &ormed by one planet# and also by two planets.
ipareeta Ra#a Yoga :
Viparita means 6inverted# contrary# reversed?. Vipareeta %a)a Yoga is &ormed when the planet rulinga
dusthana /4#@#1>0 house is placed in another dusthana house. This yoga tends to cause an une!pected rise in
li&e due to anun&ortunate event or problem.
$eecha Bhanga :
eecha means debilitated and bhanga means reversal. Here are the main ways in which debility can
bemodi&ied# or cancelled. This may not be considered a yoga per say# but it is very important to consider in
chart
interpretation. 1. I& the ruler o& the sign occupied by the debilitated planet is in a kendra position &rom t
he oon or the -agna.>. I& the ruler o& the sign where the debilitated planet is e!alted is in a kendra
position &rom the oon or -agna.B. I& the ruler o& the sign occupied by the debilitated
planet aspects the planet.,. I& the planet who would be e!alted in the sign occupied by the debilitated
planet is in a kendra &rom the oon or the -agna.
