Part 1
I
am describing below the following three types of Yogas:
(i) Raja Yogas or
Combinations for power and affluence.
(ii) Dhana Yogas or
Combinations of wealth.
(iii)
Penury Yogas these Yogas, let me describe the meaning of a Yoga or a
combination. The combinations are of the following four types:
(1) Exchange of House:
Two planets if occupy each other’s sign, are said to have exchanged houses or
signs. This is the most powerful combination.
(2) Mutual Aspect:
Mutual aspect between two planets is the second type of combination. This
combination is the second most powerful combination.
(3) If a planet is
aspected by its dispositor it is the third type of combination. It is less
powerful than the above two types of combination.
(4) Conjunction:
Two planets in the same sign are said to be in Conjunction. For this type of
combination to the effective the two planets should be in the same sign and
simultaneously in the same house when seen in the Chalit Chakra. This is the
least powerful amongst the four types of combinations. I have found that this
combination is powerful when within 10 degrees of each other. It is very
powerful when planets are in the same Navamsa.
Besides
the above four types of combinations described by Sage Parasara, Mantreshwara
in Phaladeepika describes the following two types of combinations:
(1) Two planets in
trinal house from each other. For example, Sun in Aries and Jupiter in Leo.
(2) Two planes in an
angle or Kendra from each other. For example, Sun in Aries and Jupiter in
Cancer.
Variable Karakas And Karakamsa
Before
going on to describe the various Yogas, it is important to know about variable
Karakas described by Sage Parasara. We are all aware of the fixed Karakas or
significators. For example Sun of soul and father, Moon of Mother, Venus of
spouse and so on. Similarly, Sage Parasara also describes Variable Karakas
which vary in different horoscopes.
Consider
the longitude of planets without their sign position. Take the following
horoscope.

The planet whose degrees are the highest is the Atmarkaraka (Significator of Soul). The second highest is the Amatya Karaka (Significator of ministerial position). The third highest is Bhratri Karaka. The fourth highest is Matri Karaka. Fifth is Pitri Karaka. Sixth highest is Putra Karaka. Seventh is the Nati Karaka and the planet whose longitude is the least becomes the Dara or Stree Karaka.
Note:
For considering the Variable Karakas Ketu is not considered. That is, only eight
planets, Sun to Rahu are to be considered.
In
the above example Karakas can be tabulated as below. This means that Mercury
whose degrees are the highest i.e. 13 degree 13’, becomes the Atmakaraka.
Similarly other Karakas are determined. The readers will also notice that the
degrees traversed by Rahu in a sign are considered starting from 30 degrees.
This is so because Rahu is always retrograde. In our example the degrees
traversed by Rahu are (30 degree-26 degree 12’) = 3degree38’.

Note: These are responsible for considering certain types of Raja Yogas.
Karakamsa:
The sign in which Navamsa occupied by Atma Karaka falls becomes the Karakamsa.
In our example, Atmakaraka Mercury is in Libra Navamsa. Therefore, Libra
becomes the Karakamsa.
