The Mathematics of Yogas
In Vedic astrology, Yoga means "union." When specific houses, lords, and planets form harmonious relationships, they generate special energetic conduits called Yogas:
- Raja Yogas: Formed when lords of action (Kendra houses: 1, 4, 7, 10) join lords of grace (Trikona houses: 1, 5, 9). They grant authority, public renown, and purpose.
- Dhana Yogas: Formed between lords of 1st, 2nd, 5th, 9th, and 11th houses, governing sustainable prosperity.
- Pancha Mahapurusha Yogas: Formed when non-luminary planets (Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn) occupy kendras in their own or exalted signs (Ruchaka, Bhadra, Hamsa, Malavya, and Sasa yogas).
