Yogas
Another important concept is called “Yogas”. Readers are advised to refer to classics such as “Brihat Parasara Hora Sastram” and acquaint themselves with as many yogas as possible. Dr. B.V. Raman’s “Three Hundred Important Combinations” is an excellent compendium on yogas.
Yogas are divided into the following classes for convenience:
• Ravi Yogas (solar combinations)
• Chandra Yogas (lunar combinations)
• Mahaapurusha Yogas (combinations producing 5 kinds of great men)
• Naabhasa Yogas (classified celestial combinations)
• Other Popular Yogas
• Raaja Yogas (combinations giving power)
• Raaja Sambandha Yogas (combinations for association with kings)
• Dhana Yogas (combinations giving wealth)
• Daridra Yogas (combinations giving poverty)
Ravi Yogas:
Ravi yogas are the solar combinations. There are several yogas based on Sun. Because Mercury and Venus are with Sun or a sign away from him most of the time, the following yogas are very common in rasi chart. However, they are less common in divisional charts. One can apply these yogas in D-9 and D-10 in particular.

Chandra Yogas:
Chandra yogas are the lunar combinations. There are several yogas based on the Moon.
General Guidelines:
(1) If the Moon is in a quadrant from the Sun, then one may possess little wealth, intelligence, and skills. If the Moon is in a panapara from the Sun, then one may possess average wealth, intelligence, and skills. If the Moon is in an apoklima from the Sun, then one may possess a lot of wealth, intelligence, and skills.
(2) If Moon is in his own navamsa or that of an adhimitra (good friend), that is good. In such a situation, the aspect of Jupiter on the Moon beings wealth and comfort in the case of daytime birth (respectively). The same result is given by the Venusian aspect on Moon in the case of night birth. On the other hand, Jupiter’s aspect on the Moon in a night birth and Venusian aspect on Moon in a daytime birth are detrimental to one’s wealth and comforts.
(3) If all the natural benefics occupy upachayas (3rd, 6th, 10th and 11th) from Moon, one has great wealth. If two benefics occupy upachayas from Moon, the native has medium wealth. If only one benefic occupies an upachaya from Moon, the native has little wealth.

Raaja Yogas
Raaja means a king. Raaja yogas are the combinations that give power and prosperity to a native. They make one the best in something.
Basics
Basic Raaja Yoga: In any chart, Lord Vishnu sits in the quadrants and Goddess Lakshmi sits in the trines. If the lord of a quadrant is associated with the lord of a trine, that association brings the combined blessings of Lakshmi and Vishnu. This is called a Raaja Yoga. The native is powerful and prosperous.
What do we mean by “association” here? There are 3 important associations:
(1) The two planets are conjoined,
(2) The two planets aspect each other with graha drishti, or,
(3) The two planets have a parivartana (exchange). For example, if the 4th lord is in
the 5th house and the 5th lord is in the 4th house, then we say that there is a parivartana between the 4th and 5th lords. This is an association.
If the lord of a quadrant and the lord of a trine have one of the three kinds of associations mentioned above, it forms a Raaja Yoga. Lagna can be taken as a quadrant or a trine here. It is both.
Dharma-Karmadhipati Yoga: This is a special case of the above yoga. If the lords of dharma sthana (9th) and karma sthana (10th) form a raja yoga, it is known by this special name. The 9th house is the most important trine and the 10th house is the most important quadrant. Raja yoga involving the lords of these two houses is excellent. One born with this yoga is sincere, devoted, and righteous. He is fortunate.
Vipareeta Raaja Yoga: The 6th, 8th, and 12th houses are known as trik sthanas or dusthanas (bad houses). If their lords occupy dusthanas or conjoin dusthanas, it results in this yoga. One having this yoga experience tremendous success, typically after an initial struggle. Vipareeta means extreme.
Because dusthanas show the obstacles one faces in life, situation of dusthana lords in dusthanas shows that obstacles will run into obstacles themselves. One experiences tremendous success in the face of obstacles.
In the ideal case, the lords of the 6th, 8th and 12th houses will all be together in one of the three houses (or the 3rd house or the 11th house), with no other planets conjoining them. But the results of this yoga may be experienced with just one or two dusthana lords occupying a dusthana.
More Raja Yogas
Some advanced Raaja Yogas will be listed below.
(1) If (a) chara putra karaka (PK) and chara atmaka karaka (AK) are conjoined and (b) Lagna and 5th lords conjoin, then Raaja Yoga is present and the native enjoys power and prosperity. If only one condition is satisfied, still the results may be felt, but not fully.
(2) If (a) the lagna lord is in 5th, (b) 5th lord is in lagna, (c) AK and PK are in lagna or the 5th house, and (d) those planets in owns rasi or amsa or in exaltation or aspected by benefics, then this yoga is present and the native becomes a great king (Maharajah) loved by his associates.
3) If the 9th lord and AK are in lagna, 5th or 7th, aspected by benefics, then Raaja Yoga is present.
(4) If the 2nd, 4th, and 5th houses from Lagna lord and AK are occupied by benefics, one becomes a king.
(5) If the 3rd and 6th houses from lagna lord and AK are occupied or aspected by malefics, one becomes a king.
(6) If lagna, HL and GL are joined or aspected by the same planet, then that planet gives a Raaja Yoga. One may add “owned” to “joined or aspected”.
Planets aspecting or joining HL and GL give wealth and power respectively. If such a planet is associated with lagna also, its potential to do good increases.
Results of this yoga may be experienced if the conditions are not strictly met, but a planet has an association with lagna (or lagna lord), HL (or HL lord) and GL (or GL lord). Association here can mean ownership, conjunction or aspect. If lagna lord is in HL and aspects GL lord, for example, results of this Raaja Yoga may be experienced to some extent.
(7) If the same planet aspects lagna in the six divisional charts of shad vargas – Rasi, Navamsa, Hora, Drekkana, Dwadasamsa, Trimsamsa – then that planet gives a Raaja Yoga.
(8) If lagna, HL and GL are occupied by a planet in own or exaltation sign, then the native becomes a king. [NOTE: It can be different planets.]
(9) If lagna in Rasi, Navamsa and Drekkana charts is occupied by a planet in its own or exaltation sign, then the native becomes a king.
[NOTE: It can be different planets.]
(10) If (a) the 3rd, 6th and 8th houses are occupied by one or two planets in debilitation and (b) lagna lord is in an own or exaltation sign and aspects lagna, it forms a Raaja Yoga.
(11) If (a) the 6th, 8th and 12th lords are debilitated or combust or in inimical signs and (b) lagna lord is in an own or exaltation sign and aspects lagna, it forms a Raaja Yoga.
Raaja Sambandha Yogas
Raaja means a king. Sambandha means relation or association. Raaja sambandha yogas are the combinations that give association with rulers. Those who have these yogas are typically powerful ministers, secretaries, counsellors and bureaucrats, associated with the rulers and powerful men. However, these yogas are very common. The magnitude of success depends on the strength of the planets involved in raja yoga.
1) If the 10th lord is conjoined or aspected by AmK (chara amaatya kaaraka) or his dispositor, one becomes an important person in the court of a king.
(2) If the 11th lord aspects the 11th house and there are no malefic planets joining or aspecting the 10th and 11th houses, one becomes an important person in the court of a king.
(3) If AK (chara aatma kaaraka) and AmK conjoin, one is very intelligent and becomes a minister.
(4) If AmK is very strong in his own sign or his exaltation sign, then also one becomes a minister.
(5) If AmK is in a trine from lagna, one becomes a famous minister.

Dhana Yogas
Dhana means wealth. Dhana yogas are combinations that give one abundant riches.
Basic Principle: The 5th and 9th lords and planets joining them are capable of giving money. They give wealth in their dasas. The 11th house is also important for material gains and it should be strong. The 2nd house is also important. If Moon, Mercury, Jupiter or Venus is exalted in the 2nd house, it makes the native very rich.
In addition to these general principles, Parasara listed specific combinations for various lagnas. In all these combinations, the strength of the participating planets decides the magnitude of results experienced.

Daridra Yogas
One experiences poverty if the following yogas (combinations) are present in one’s chart:
(1) Lagna lord is in 12th and 12th lord is in Lagna. They are conjoined or aspected by a maraka planet.
NOTE: The 2nd and 7th houses are maraka (killer houses). Their lords are marakas (killers). Any malefics occupying 2nd and 7th or associating with 2nd and 7th lords also become malefics.
(2) Lagna lord is in 6th and 6th lord is in lagna. They are conjoined or aspected by a maraka planet.
(3) Lagna or Moon is with Ketu. Lagna lord is in 8th. A maraka planet conjoins or aspects lagna lord.
(4) Lagna lord is with a malefic in a dusthana (6th, 8th or 12th) and 2nd lord is debilitated or in an enemy’s sign. Even a royal scion with this combination becomes poor.
(5) The 5th lord is in 6th and 9th lord is in 12th, with aspects from marakas.
(6) Malefics occupy lagna without 9th and 10th lords, aspected or conjoined by marakas.
(7) Lords of the signs occupied by 6th, 8th and 12th lords are in 6th, 8th and 12th houses, conjoined or aspected by malefics.
(8) Lord of the sign occupied by Moon in navamsa is with a maraka or occupies a maraka house (2nd and 7th).
(9) Lords of lagna in rasi and navamsa are conjoined or aspected by marakas.
(10) Benefics are in malefic houses and malefics are in benefic houses.
(11) Planets conjoined by 6th, 8th and 12th lords give loss of wealth in their dasas, if they are not conjoined or aspected by the lords of trines.
(12) Mars and Saturn are in 2nd and Mercury doesn’t aspect them. (Exception: If Mercury aspects Mars and Saturn in 2nd, great wealth is generated.)
(13) Sun in 2nd is aspected by Saturn. (Exception: If Saturn doesn’t aspect, Sun in 2nd gives wealth.)
