| gajakesari | Gajakesari Yoga | Jupiter occupies a kendra from the Moon, the 1st, 4th, 7th or 10th house counted from it, is unaspected by a natural malefic, and is not retrograde. | Gajakesari Yoga joins the elephant and the lion, and the classical result is standing earned through character. Jataka Parijata gives energy, ample money and grain, intelligence and merit, with conduct that wins the favour of those in authority. Later commentary adds a wide circle of relations, a polite and generous manner, a hand in civic or public work, and a name that endures. The dignity of Jupiter and the Moon decides how much of that promise the chart delivers, so a well placed pair gives the fuller result. | Positive | classical | No | Jupiter is not in a kendra (1/4/7/10) from the Moon. |
| sunapha | Sunapha Yoga | A graha other than the Sun and the lunar nodes occupies the 2nd house from the Moon. | Sunapha Yoga places support in the 2nd from the Moon, the house of accumulated resources, and the texts agree on its result: wealth the native earns rather than inherits, intelligence, a good name, and standing comparable to that of a ruler. Parashara and Varahamihira both stress the self-made character of the gain. The graha that forms the yoga colours it, so Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus or Saturn in that house each shape how the wealth is made. | Positive | classical | Yes | Non-luminary, non-node planet placed in the 2nd house from Moon. |
| anapha | Anapha Yoga | A graha other than the Sun and the lunar nodes occupies the 12th house from the Moon. | Anapha Yoga places support in the 12th from the Moon, and the classical result is vigour, a dignified bearing and a good name. Parashara gives virtue, fame, charm and contentment; Varahamihira adds a good character, pleasure in fine dress and the comforts of the senses. The 12th is also the house of release, and later commentary reads the yoga as turning toward renunciation and simplicity in the later years, so worldly ease gives way to detachment. | Positive | classical | No | No qualifying planet in the 12th house from Moon. |
| dhurdhura | Dhurdhura Yoga | Grahas other than the Sun and the lunar nodes occupy both the 2nd and the 12th houses from the Moon. | Dhurdhura Yoga surrounds the Moon with support on both sides, in the 2nd and the 12th, and it joins the results of Sunapha and Anapha. The texts give wealth, conveyances and the comforts that come with them, a generous and charitable temper, and the means to support others. Parashara adds capable people in service; later commentary reads it as money, standing and reputation arriving together, in a measure set by the grahas that form it. | Positive | classical | No | Moon is not flanked by qualifying planets in both 2nd and 12th. |
| kemadruma | Kemadruma Yoga | No graha other than the Sun and the lunar nodes stands with the Moon, in the 2nd or the 12th house from it, or in a kendra from the Lagna. | Kemadruma Yoga leaves the Moon without support: no graha stands with it, beside it or in a kendra from the Lagna. The classical result is hardship. Parashara gives reproach from others, setbacks in learning and judgement, and financial strain; Varahamihira adds that the yoga lowers circumstances even in a well born family. Read it as the mind working without backing, so effort goes unrecognised and resources are slow to gather. A strong Moon and supporting yogas elsewhere soften the reading considerably. | Negative | classical | No | Moon has at least one qualifying planet adjacent (2nd or 12th). |
| chandramangala | Chandra Mangala Yoga | Mars joins the Moon or opposes it, within 10 degrees. | Chandra Mangala Yoga is a combination for earning. The classical texts tie it to trade in rough goods, drink and other things that serve appetite, and to friction with the mother. Later commentary reads it as a strong stabiliser of finances: with the Moon and Mars well placed the income comes through respected work, and the combination does most good in the 2nd, 9th, 10th or 11th house. The drive it gives toward money is real, and the dignity of the two grahas decides how cleanly that money is made. | Both | classical | No | Moon and Mars are neither conjunct nor opposed within 10 degree orb. |
| budhaaditya | Budha-Aditya Yoga | Mercury occupies the same sign as the Sun. Later commentary also asks that Mercury stand more than 10 degrees from the Sun; the classical conjunction in one sign is the rule applied. | Budha-Aditya Yoga joins Mercury, the planet of intellect, with the Sun, and every witness reads it as the mark of a capable mind. Varahamihira and Mantreswara give cleverness, intelligence, fame and contentment; later commentary adds skill in every kind of work, a good reputation, self-respect and a comfortable life. The yoga shows most clearly in learning, speech and the practical arts, and the strength of Mercury decides how much of that promise the chart delivers. | Positive | classical | No | Mercury in Aries, the Sun in Taurus. |
| ruchaka | Ruchaka Yoga | Mars occupies a kendra from the Lagna, the 1st, 4th, 7th or 10th house, and that kendra is its own sign or its sign of exaltation. | Ruchaka Yoga is the Pancha Mahapurusha yoga of Mars, formed when Mars holds its own or exaltation sign in a kendra. The texts describe courage and command: a strong build, renown for merit, wealth won through bold action, victory over opponents and leadership of others, classically of an army. Mantreswara notes a streak of pride beside the courage; later commentary adds learning in tradition, a charitable disposition and lasting fame. The full result asks for a Mars free of affliction. | Positive | classical | No | Mars in Aquarius (neither own sign Aries/Scorpio nor exaltation Capricorn); placed in house 6 (not a kendra). |
| bhadra | Bhadra Yoga | Mercury occupies a kendra from the Lagna, the 1st, 4th, 7th or 10th house, and that kendra is its own sign or its sign of exaltation. | Bhadra Yoga is the Pancha Mahapurusha yoga of Mercury, formed when Mercury holds its own or exaltation sign in a kendra. Mantreswara gives a keen intellect, learning praised by the learned, wealth, eloquence before an assembly and the capacity to lead; later commentary adds a strong, well proportioned build, a reserved manner and loyalty to relatives. Mercury is the planet of the intellect, and the yoga shows most clearly in learning, speech and commerce. | Positive | classical | No | Mercury in Aries (neither own sign Gemini/Virgo nor exaltation Virgo); placed in house 8 (not a kendra). |
| hamsa | Hamsa Yoga | Jupiter occupies a kendra from the Lagna, the 1st, 4th, 7th or 10th house, and that kendra is its own sign or its sign of exaltation. | Hamsa Yoga is the Pancha Mahapurusha yoga of Jupiter, formed when Jupiter holds its own or exaltation sign in a kendra. Mantreswara gives a person honoured by the good, of fine appearance and righteous disposition, enjoying good food and comfort, with the auspicious marks of the conch, lotus, fish and goad on the hands and feet. Later commentary adds a pure mind and the affection of others. The yoga speaks above all to character, wisdom and the regard a person earns. | Positive | classical | No | Jupiter in Gemini (neither own sign Sagittarius/Pisces nor exaltation Cancer); placed in kendra (house 10) from Lagna. |
| malavya | Malavya Yoga | Venus occupies a kendra from the Lagna, the 1st, 4th, 7th or 10th house, and that kendra is its own sign or its sign of exaltation. | Malavya Yoga is the Pancha Mahapurusha yoga of Venus, formed when Venus holds its own or exaltation sign in a kendra. The texts give a strong body and a resolute mind, wealth, a happy married and family life, good fortune, fine vehicles and the enjoyments of comfort, with fame and learning besides. Mantreswara adds composure of the senses. Venus rules pleasure and refinement, and the yoga turns those into a settled, cultured prosperity. | Positive | classical | Yes | Venus exalted in Pisces, placed in kendra (house 7) from Lagna. |
| sasa | Sasa Yoga | Saturn occupies a kendra from the Lagna, the 1st, 4th, 7th or 10th house, and that kendra is its own sign or its sign of exaltation. | Sasa Yoga is the Pancha Mahapurusha yoga of Saturn, formed when Saturn holds its own or exaltation sign in a kendra. The texts give authority: good people in service, physical strength, the praise of many and rule over a village, a town or more. They are equally frank about its shadow, a hard temper, questionable conduct in private life and an acquisitive streak. Later commentary reads the yoga as power built through persistence and labour, with the use of that power as the real test of the chart. | Both | classical | No | Saturn in own sign Capricorn; placed in house 5 (not a kendra). |
| dhana | Dhana Yoga | The 5th house falls in a sign ruled by Venus, Venus occupies that 5th house, and Mars occupies the 11th. | Dhana Yoga is a wealth combination and the classical treatment of it is unusually direct: one born to these combinations becomes wealthy. Read that as capacity to accumulate rather than as a promised sum. The pattern favours resources that stay, so earnings convert into assets, assets hold their value, and a standard of living rises without having to be rebuilt after every setback. Wealth of this kind usually comes through strengths the chart already carries rather than through windfall. Scale and timing belong to the rest of the chart and to the periods that bring these houses forward. | Positive | classical | No | No Dhana Yoga on this chart: all 11 rules evaluated and none holds. The eleven catalogued Dhana rows are BPHS ch. 41 verses 2 to 14, read in Parashara rather than Raman wherever the two name different occupants of the 11th. |
| daridra | Daridra Yoga | The lord of the 11th house occupies the 6th, the 8th or the 12th. | Daridra Yoga is a poverty combination and the classical description of it is unsparing: debts that accumulate, work that stays menial, and standing that erodes along with the finances. Read it as sustained pressure on the flow of gains rather than as a sentence. The 11th house governs income and increase, so placing its lord where results are spent, obstructed or lost tends to mean money leaves faster than it arrives and effort converts poorly into savings. The same source names ear complaints and strained relations with siblings beside the financial reading. No single combination settles a chart. Supporting wealth yogas, a well placed 2nd and 11th lord and favourable periods all temper this one, so the sound reading is of a weakness to manage rather than an outcome to accept. | Negative | classical | No | No Daridra Yoga on this chart: all 8 rules evaluated and none holds. Nine of the eleven catalogued Daridra rows are evaluated, as eight rules: daridra-4 and daridra-5 are the two halves of BPHS 42.4. daridra-8 and daridra-9 are excluded because B.V. Raman is their only authority, and an unverified rule may not decide a verdict. |
| lakshmi | Lakshmi Yoga | The lord of the 9th house holds its own sign, its moolatrikona sign or its sign of exaltation and stands in a kendra or a trikona, while the lord of the Lagna is strong. | Lakshmi Yoga is named for the goddess of fortune and the classical result reads accordingly: wealth in abundance, standing close to that of a ruler, a lasting name, and the conduct that earns it. Fortune here is fortune with a foundation. The 9th house carries merit, patronage and the good that arrives unearned, so a dignified and well placed 9th lord tends to make that support structural rather than occasional, with family, teachers, institutions and circumstance moving in the same direction. The strong Lagna lord is the second half of the combination, and it is what turns that support into a life the native can hold rather than one that passes through. Read the scale of it from the strength of the two lords involved, not from the presence of the combination alone. | Positive | classical | No | The 9th lord Venus stands exalted in Pisces in the 7th, a kendra, and the Lagna lord Mercury is in the 8th, a dusthana. Strength of the Lagna lord is read as freedom from the three classical weaknesses, combustion, debilitation and dusthana placement, because the Shadbala minimum-required-strength reading is not computable from a birth chart alone. BPHS 36.27-28 with the placement widened to Raman 27. |
| dhanamalika | Dhana Malika | The seven visible grahas fill seven consecutive houses beginning at the 2nd, so every house from the 2nd to the 8th is occupied and none of the seven falls outside that run. Rahu and Ketu are not counted. | Dhana Malika is one of the twelve Malika combinations, each named for the house its unbroken run of planets begins from. This one begins at the 2nd, the house of accumulated wealth, family resources and speech, and carries the run forward through the houses of effort, home, intelligence, obstacles, partnership and inheritance. The reading follows that shape. Wealth is tied into everything else rather than held apart from it, so resources, relationships and reputation tend to rise and fall together, and money is rarely a separate department of the life. A concentration of this kind is rare and it is emphatic rather than balanced: the same run that gathers seven grahas onto the wealth axis leaves five houses empty, so the chart tends to be decisive where it is occupied and thin where it is not. | Positive | classical | No | The seven visible grahas occupy bhavas 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, not the unbroken run from the 2nd to the 8th that Dhana Malika requires (Jataka Parijata 7.132). |
| gada | Gada Yoga | The seven grahas occupy two adjacent kendras. | Gada Yoga, the mace, gathers every graha into two adjacent kendras, and the texts read it as sustained effort toward wealth. Parashara gives skill in learning and in music, the performance of sacred rites, and wealth in gold and precious stones; Varahamihira gives a constant drive for prosperity joined to worship. Later commentary agrees on wealth and devotion. The combination pairs ambition with observance, so gain and religious life tend to grow together. | Positive | akriti | No | The seven visible grahas do not occupy two adjacent kendras. |
| sakata-2 | Sakata Yoga | The seven grahas occupy only the Lagna and the 7th house. | Sakata Yoga, the cart, gathers every graha into the Lagna and the 7th, and the texts read it unfavourably. They describe a livelihood earned through physical labour or transport, means that are hard to build, few close friends and friction in married life, with Parashara also warning that health needs care. Later commentary reads the axis as one of body and spouse, which is where the strain tends to fall. Supporting yogas and a strong Lagna lord do much to lift it. | Negative | akriti | No | The seven visible grahas do not occupy the 1st and 7th bhavas. |
| vihaga | Vihaga Yoga | The seven grahas occupy only the 4th and 10th houses. | Vihaga Yoga, the bird, gathers every graha into the 4th and the 10th, and the result is a life on the move. The texts agree on wandering and on the work of a messenger or envoy, and they read the temperament as quarrelsome and quick to stir up disputes. Later commentary fits it to occupations that keep a person travelling. Home and career pull against each other on this axis, and a settled base is what the yoga makes hard to keep. | Negative | akriti | No | The seven visible grahas do not occupy the 4th and 10th bhavas. |
| sringhataka | Sringhataka Yoga | All the planets occupy the Lagna and its trines. | Sringhataka Yoga gathers every graha into the Lagna and its trines, the houses of self, intelligence and fortune. The texts give happiness that lasts and grows with age, the favour of those in authority, wealth and a good marriage. Parashara also gives a combative streak, a readiness for disputes and contests. Later commentary reads the yoga as a life that improves steadily and is happiest in its later years. | Positive | akriti | No | The seven visible grahas do not occupy the Lagna and its trines, 1-5-9. |
| hala | Hala Yoga | All the planets occupy one trine that does not involve the Lagna, the 2nd, 6th and 10th houses, or the 3rd, 7th and 11th, or the 4th, 8th and 12th. | Hala Yoga, the plough, gathers every graha into one trine that leaves out the Lagna. Varahamihira and later commentary read it as a livelihood from the land, the farmer or cultivator, with a natural feel for growing things. Parashara is harsher: he gives a large appetite, scant means, an unsettled mind and work in the service of others. Read together, the yoga describes honest labour that produces for others first, with security built slowly. | Both | akriti | No | The seven visible grahas do not occupy a trine that does not involve the Lagna. |
| kamala | Kamala Yoga | All the planets occupy all four kendras, the 1st, 4th, 7th and 10th houses. | Kamala Yoga, the lotus, places every graha in the four kendras, the pillars of the chart. The texts give wide fame, virtue and lasting comfort; Parashara adds wealth, purity of conduct and a great many good works, and ranks it with kingship. Later commentary holds that the honour runs ahead of the money, so prestige and esteem may exceed the fortune itself. With every angle occupied, the result depends on how well each graha is placed. | Positive | akriti | No | The seven visible grahas do not occupy all four kendras. |
| vapee | Vapee Yoga | The planets are ranged in the four Panarapas or the four Apoklimas. | Vapee Yoga, the well, places every graha in the four panapara or the four apoklima houses, and the texts read it as accumulation. They give the capacity to gather wealth and keep it, steady comfort and lasting happiness; Parashara adds children and high standing. Varahamihira notes that what is gathered is held rather than given away. Like water stored in a well, the yoga favours reserves over display. | Positive | akriti | No | The seven visible grahas do not occupy the four panaparas or the four apoklimas. |
| yupa | Yupa Yoga | The seven grahas occupy four successive bhavas counted from the Lagna. | Yupa Yoga, the sacrificial post, gathers every graha into the four houses from the Lagna. The texts read it as a religious and principled life: spiritual knowledge, the performance of rites and observances, a measure of renunciation and distinction. Parashara adds strength and a good marriage; later commentary gives a liberal, self-possessed temper and recognition for charitable work. | Positive | akriti | No | The seven visible grahas do not occupy four successive bhavas from the Lagna. |
| ishu | Ishu Yoga | The seven grahas occupy four successive bhavas counted from the 4th house. | Ishu Yoga, the arrow, also called Shara, gathers every graha into the four houses from the 4th. The texts give work that turns on force and custody: the making of weapons, charge of a prison, or a living from animals. Parashara and Varahamihira both read the temperament as hard and inclined to severity toward others. Later commentary fits it to any post where discipline is the substance of the work, and the yoga asks for that authority to be used with restraint. | Negative | akriti | No | The seven visible grahas do not occupy four successive bhavas from the 4th. |
| sakti | Sakti Yoga | The seven grahas occupy four successive bhavas counted from the 7th house. | Sakti Yoga gathers every graha into the four houses from the 7th, and the texts read it unfavourably. They give slow progress, inertia, thin resources and limited comfort, with the regard of others hard to win. Parashara balances the reading with endurance, firmness and skill in contests. Read it as a chart that has to generate its own momentum, where sustained effort counts for more than waiting on opportunity. | Negative | akriti | No | The seven visible grahas do not occupy four successive bhavas from the 7th. |
| danda | Danda Yoga | The seven grahas occupy four successive bhavas counted from the 10th house. | Danda Yoga, the staff, gathers every graha into the four houses from the 10th, and the texts read it as a hard placement for family life. They give distance or separation from spouse and children and a lack of domestic happiness; Parashara adds modest means, distance from kin and work in the service of others. The 10th leads the run, so work tends to take precedence over home, and that balance is the one the chart asks to be kept. | Negative | akriti | No | The seven visible grahas do not occupy four successive bhavas from the 10th. |
| nav | Nav Yoga | The seven grahas occupy seven successive bhavas counted from the Lagna. | Nauka Yoga, the boat, listed here as Nav, gathers every graha into the seven houses from the Lagna. The texts give fame and wealth, with Parashara linking the livelihood to water, and they give with it an unsteady happiness and a tight hand with money. Later commentary finds it broadly productive of good. The boat image fits the reading: real gains, carried on a current that rises and falls. | Both | akriti | No | The seven visible grahas do not occupy seven successive bhavas from the Lagna. |
| kuta | Kuta Yoga | The seven grahas occupy seven successive bhavas counted from the 4th house. | Kuta Yoga, the peak, gathers every graha into the seven houses from the 4th, and the texts read it unfavourably. They give work tied to custody, guarding or fortified places, scant means, and a pull toward craft and untruth; later commentary repeats that reading. Read it as a chart where candour is the discipline that matters most, because the yoga tests trust more than it tests ability. | Negative | akriti | No | The seven visible grahas do not occupy seven successive bhavas from the 4th. |
| chhatra | Chhatra Yoga | The seven grahas occupy seven successive bhavas counted from the 7th house. | Chhatra Yoga, the umbrella, gathers every graha into the seven houses from the 7th, and every witness reads it favourably. The texts give kindness, intelligence, the favour of those in authority and care for the people close to the native, with happiness at the start and the close of life. Varahamihira stresses the comfort the native brings to that circle. Like the umbrella it is named for, the yoga shelters others. | Positive | akriti | No | The seven visible grahas do not occupy seven successive bhavas from the 7th. |
| chapa-2 | Chapa Yoga | The seven grahas occupy seven successive bhavas counted from the 10th house. | Chapa Yoga, the bow, also called Dhanusha, gathers every graha into the seven houses from the 10th, and the witnesses divide. Varahamihira gives courage with comfort at the start and the close of life, and later commentary a comfortable life given to good deeds. Parashara reads it harder: a keeper of secrets drawn to wandering and remote places, uneven luck, happiness in the middle years and a warning about honesty. The strength of the 10th house decides which reading leads. | Both | akriti | No | The seven visible grahas do not occupy seven successive bhavas from the 10th. |
| ardhachandra | Ardha Chandra Yoga | All planets occupy the seven houses beginning from a Panapara or Apoklima. | Ardha Chandra Yoga, the half moon, gathers every graha into seven houses that begin from a panapara or an apoklima. The texts read it favourably: a handsome and pleasing presence, happiness through life, strength and the favour of those in authority. Parashara adds command of others, classically of an army, and wealth in gold, gems and ornaments. | Positive | akriti | No | The seven visible grahas do not occupy seven successive bhavas starting from a panapara or apoklima. |
| chandra | Chakra Yoga | All planets occupy the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, and 11th houses. | Chakra Yoga, the wheel, places every graha in the six odd houses from the Lagna. Parashara and Varahamihira give it one of the grandest results among the shape yogas, a standing to which rulers themselves defer. Later commentary reads it more soberly as respect and authority within a community, with income earned well and spent well. | Positive | akriti | No | The seven visible grahas do not occupy the six odd bhavas. |
| samudra | Samudra Yoga | All planets occupy six even houses. | Samudra Yoga, the ocean, places every graha in the six even houses. The texts give abundant and lasting wealth, precious things, pleasures, a good disposition and popularity; Varahamihira and later commentary describe a life like that of a ruler, free of care. The ocean image is about depth of resources: wealth that stays rather than wealth that arrives once. | Positive | akriti | No | The seven visible grahas do not occupy the six even bhavas. |
| vajra | Vajra Yoga | Benefics occupy the Lagna and 7th house, while malefics occupy the 4th and 10th house. | Vajra Yoga, the thunderbolt, puts the benefics in the Lagna and the 7th and the malefics in the 4th and the 10th. Varahamihira gives happiness at the start and the close of life, courage and strength; later commentary adds a fair and attractive presence. Parashara agrees on the happiness and the valour but adds a contrary streak and uneven fortune. The middle of life is where the yoga asks for patience. | Positive | akriti | No | The seven visible grahas do not occupy benefics in the 1st and 7th with malefics in the 4th and 10th. |
| yava | Yava Yoga | Benefics occupy the 4th and 10th houses, while malefics occupy the Lagna and 7th house. | Yava Yoga, the barley grain, reverses Vajra: benefics in the 4th and the 10th, malefics in the Lagna and the 7th. The texts give a religious, principled and charitable life, firmness of character, and happiness, wealth and children that arrive above all in the middle years. Varahamihira gives contentment and energy throughout life. Later commentary sees little difference from Vajra beyond that emphasis on the middle of life. | Positive | akriti | No | The seven visible grahas do not occupy benefics in the 4th and 10th with malefics in the 1st and 7th. |
| rajju | Rajju Yoga | All planets exclusively occupy movable signs. | Rajju Yoga, the rope, gathers every graha into the movable signs, and the result is a life in motion. The texts agree on a love of travel and on earnings made away from home, often abroad, with an attractive presence. Parashara and Varahamihira also name its harder edge, a jealous streak and a sharp temper toward rivals. Read it as restless ambition: well channelled it carries the native far, and the discipline it asks for is generosity toward the success of others. | Both | asraya | No | Not all seven visible grahas are in movable signs. |
| musala | Musala Yoga | All planets exclusively occupy fixed signs. | Musala Yoga, the pestle, gathers every graha into the fixed signs, and the result is steadiness. The texts give self-respect and pride of bearing, wealth, learning and a firm mind, commitment to many undertakings, fame, and the favour of those in authority; Parashara adds many children. Where Rajju moves, Musala holds: resources and reputation are built slowly and kept. | Positive | asraya | No | Not all seven visible grahas are in fixed signs. |
| nala | Nala Yoga | All planets exclusively occupy common signs. | Nala Yoga, the reed, gathers every graha into the common signs. The texts give skill, cleverness and a talent for accumulating money, with Parashara adding helpfulness to relatives and personal charm. They also note an uneven build, and later commentary a tendency toward disappointment. Common signs are adaptable and divided, and the yoga reads that way: capability across many fields, with steadiness of purpose the quality to cultivate. | Both | asraya | No | Not all seven visible grahas are in common signs. |
| sarpa | Sarpa Yoga | All the malefics occupy kendras, with no benefic placed in a kendra. | Sarpa Yoga, the serpent, also called Bhujanga, gives the four kendras to the malefics with no benefic among them, the difficult half of the Dala pair. The texts read it as a life of friction: hardship and want, a guarded and indirect manner, a hard temper and reliance on others for daily needs. Read it as the pillars of the chart held by forces that test rather than support; benefic strength elsewhere, above all in the Moon and the Lagna lord, is what eases it. | Negative | dala | No | The malefics do not exclusively occupy the kendras. |
| mala | Mala Yoga | All three benefics, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter, occupy kendras, with no malefic placed in a kendra. | Mala Yoga, the favourable of the two Dala yogas, points to a life supported by comfort rather than struggle. The four pillars of the chart are held by benefics alone, so ease of circumstance, vehicles and domestic enjoyment tend to arrive without being fought for. Parashara adds fine clothes, good food and splendour. The Moon is not counted in this yoga. | Positive | dala | No | The benefics do not exclusively occupy the kendras. |
| gola-2 | Gola Yoga | All seven visible grahas occupy a single sign, leaving the other eleven untenanted. | Gola Yoga, the sphere, gathers all seven grahas into a single sign, and every witness reads it as hardship. The texts give scarce means, learning that comes slowly, little drive and a life of wandering, with Parashara adding physical strength. The whole chart rests on one house, so a single area of life carries everything while the rest stand empty. Read the outcome through the sign and the house that hold the planets. | Negative | sankhya | No | The seven visible grahas occupy 6 rasis, not 1. |
| yuga | Yuga Yoga | All seven planets occupy any two signs. | Yuga Yoga, the pair, gathers every graha into two signs, and the texts read it unfavourably. They give means that are hard to hold, views at odds with prevailing convention, and distance from family or community, with Parashara naming separation from mother and children among its marks. Later commentary reads the yoga as a life lived outside the expected path. Supporting yogas and the strength of the Lagna decide how much of this the chart carries. | Negative | sankhya | No | The seven visible grahas occupy 6 rasis, not 2. |
| sula | Sula Yoga | All seven planets occupy any three signs. | Sula Yoga, the trident, gathers every graha into three signs. The texts give courage, sharpness and fame won in contests or conflict, and they give with it thin finances and the knocks such a life brings. Later commentary insists the result is not to be applied whole: a strong Lagna or Moon can give a person of real character who is neither short of means nor harsh. Read it as valour that needs a worthy cause. | Both | sankhya | No | The seven visible grahas occupy 6 rasis, not 3. |
| kedara | Kedara Yoga | All planets must occupy any four signs. | Kedara Yoga, the field, gathers every graha into four signs, and the texts read it as productive work. They give a livelihood from the land, usefulness to many, truthfulness, happiness and wealth; Parashara adds a changeable mind. Later commentary reads the Sankhya yogas as clues to profession, and here the clue is cultivation in its widest sense, work that feeds others. | Positive | sankhya | No | The seven visible grahas occupy 6 rasis, not 4. |
| pasa | Pasa Yoga | All planets must occupy any five signs. | Pasa Yoga, the noose, gathers every graha into five signs, and the texts split on it. Later commentary gives wealth earned by fair means and a life surrounded by friends, relatives and people in service. Parashara and Varahamihira are harder: skill in work and many servants, but entanglement with unscrupulous associates over money and a risk of confinement, which the commentary warns against reading literally. The name carries the sense: the ties that bring wealth also bind. | Both | sankhya | No | The seven visible grahas occupy 6 rasis, not 5. |
| damni | Damni Yoga | All planets must occupy any six signs. | Damini Yoga, listed here as Damni, gathers every graha into six signs. The texts give generosity and work on behalf of others; Parashara adds wealth that is righteously earned, affluence, fame, courage and many children, and Varahamihira the care of herds. Later commentary adds intellect, fame and wealth, and the reading is of prosperity put to use for the people around it. | Positive | sankhya | Yes | The seven visible grahas occupy exactly 6 rasis and no other Nabhasa yoga applies. |
| vallaki | Vallaki Yoga | All planets must occupy any seven signs. | Vallaki Yoga, also called Veena, the lute, spreads the grahas across seven signs. The texts give a love of music, dance and the arts, skill, learning, happiness and fame, with a wide circle of friends; Parashara adds wealth and leadership among people. It is the most evenly distributed of the Sankhya yogas, and the reading is of a life with many interests held in balance. | Positive | sankhya | No | The seven visible grahas occupy 6 rasis, not 7. |
