Encyclopedia of Vedic Astrology: Yogas:- Yogas Related with The Sun & Moon, Chapter VIII, Part – 1

Dr. Shanker Adawal

1. Introduction

1.1 In Vedic astrology, The Sun and Moon are called the celestial couple and treated as highly important planets. However, in true sense, neither of them is a planet. The Sun is a star, around which our solar system revolves and the Moon is a satellite of our Earth. They are also called luminaries, although the Moon does not have its own light and simply reflects the light of the Sun. Yet they play a very important role in astrological parlance. The Sun, though not a malefic, is a Kroor & Seperative planet with a very disciplined & no nonsense attitude. It represents soul, father, vitality, morality, and intuition. The Moon is benefic when waxing and represents Mana, mind, inclination to do a thing, mother and affection among others.

1.2 The Sun and the Moon alongwith lagna are three basic tripod around which the life of a native revolves. The Chandra lagna is considered almost equivalent to rising lagna and almost all yogas are seen from the Moon as well as from the rising Lagna. The yogas which are formed with the Moon as their prominent constituent are known as Chandra or Lunar yogas. Customarily, The Gajkesari yoga discussed in chapter 6 is not considered as a lunar yoga in the astrological classics. According to sage Parashar, the great quality of lunar yogas is that they definitely produce results, in preference to the other yogas.

1.3 The Solar or Ravi yogas are the ones in which the Sun is of primary importance. It is said that when the planets constituting these yogas occupy their exaltation, own or friendly signs, the native born with these yogas, rise in fame, wealth, stature and comforts. The Sun being the King of planets requires one or more non-luminary planets to act as per his orders. The strength of the planets and houses have to be mixed for the particular type of effect. In any case, there will be a royal or governmental touch in it.

1.4 All the planetary yogas involving Sun or Moon are governed by Naisargika or natural strength of planets and that of the signs. These yogas occur in horoscopes frequently. Therefore they require careful assessment. The Sun, being the King has the maximum power followed by Moon, Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, and Saturn. Strength of signs (or Rasi bala) is maximum for dual signs, followed by fixed and movable signs. These yogas have the following special features:

i) Sun or the Moon must be strong and play an active part directly or indirectly.

ii) The quality of these yogas depends on the strength of Sun/ Moon, nature & strength of planets involved and the houses & signs which they occupy.

iii) Planetary cooperation based on majority rule is one of the considerations.

iv) The yogas arising involvement of more number of planets, must dominate the yogas connect with lesser number of planets.

v) The Rahu or Ketu are not considered to be a constituent planet of these yogas.

vi) Assessment of such yogas requires consideration of natural power of planets, sign strength, Rashi bala and of Ashtak Varga.

2. Solar Yogas

2.1 Vesi Yoga: This yoga is formed when any planet, other than the Moon, occupies the 2^nd house from the Sun. Some of the scholars if a natural benefic occupies the position 2^nd from the Sun, it is called “Subh-Vesi Yoga” and if a malefic does, it is called “Papa-Vesi Yoga”. However generally, this yoga is considered as a benefic yoga only. The Sun is a planet of strength & energy, dominance, dignity and high administrative capability. The planets in the 2^nd house from the Sun, in their own way, help the Sun to carry out its function. Such a native is truthful, kind hearted, virtuous, having a tall stature, with balanced outlook, & good memory, and moderately wealthy. If only benefic constitute this yoga, native is eloquent, wealthy and annihilator of his enemies. If only malefic do so, native is lazy, destitute, with squint eyes, and associate of a wicked people.

Depending upon the number of planets causing this yoga, there could be 31 variations to this yoga. Rahu & Ketu are not considered as constituent of this yoga. The results of this yogs will also vary according to the nature of constituent planets and the sign of the house in 2^nd to the Sun. The results of this yoga according to the planet will in general be as under:

i) Mars: Valorious in battle, renowned, and expert in fire power.

ii) Mercury: Sweet tongued, intelligent, handsome and capable of befooling others.

iii) Jupiter: Of a steady nature, truthful, wise, undaunted in battle.

iv) Venus: Renowned, fearless, respectable, with many virtues.

v) Saturn: Interested in business, cheat others of their wealth, and malice towards his preceptors.

The native was the famous, and forceful preceptor of modern times who advocated his own unique, though controversial, method of “Sadhna” or spiritual pursuits. He had a very powerful Vesi yoga with four planets (excluding Moon) in the 2^nd house from Sun in a strong dual sign of Sagittarius. He was forceful due to presence of Mars, intelligent due to Mercury, virtuous due to presence of Mars, intelligent due to Mercury, virtuous due to Venus and became extremely wealthy due to presence of Moon & Mars, by contributions of his numerous followers (Saturn). This happened in the 8^th house from Lagna. This made him pursue a path at variance with the usual accepted norms. Jupiter in 8^th from Moon, indicates struggles as well as fluctuations in his fortune. However exchange of houses between Moon and Jupiter takes away sting out of bad indications.

The Stars Have Voted

The Stars Have Voted: If seeking the presidency is like reaching for the stars, then why not look to the stars -- and the other heavenly bodies -- for insights on the candidates. The Democratic hopefuls face seven primaries today. Here's what their astrological charts can tell voters about their character -- and who may have a celestial advantage: Wesley Clark was born on Dec. 23, 1944, with Sun in Capricorn and Moon in Aries, two leadership and executive signs. He has a warrior signature: when civilized it indicates a master strategist; at its most martial, it is ruthlessly determined and messianic. For him, this year is an astrological rite of passage into elder status. His conservative Capricorn nature is now at its most rigorous, so what we see is who he is. Endowed with wit and a youthful nature, General Clark is a man's man. His horoscope shows him at a high point of achievement, having opportunities to be influential and willing to take what he can get.

LIVES; Destiny's Child

LIVES; Destiny's Child: I've always known that I would die at 63. I'm now 62. The year of my death was foretold in my horoscope, which was cast by my family's astrologer in 1940. Like most Calcuttans of my generation, I might not have a birth certificate, but I do have a horoscope, an older authority, calculated according to the alignments of planets at what my family remembers as the moment of my delivery. This scroll of yellow paper with Hindu astrological charts and Sanskrit writing describes my temperament, alerts me to cosmic incompatibility when looking for a husband and predicts when my life's important events, both pleasant and unpleasant, are likely to happen. When I was 11, my future was read to me. The family elders were deciding whom a distant cousin should marry. They had just discarded their top choice of bridegroom because the couples' horoscopes didn't match. I pestered my father to tell me what kind of marriage I had in store. My father, who was well known for his impassioned delivery of Sanskrit chants, read out the relevant lines. ''There!'' my mother exclaimed. ''I knew there was nothing to worry about.'' The astrologer didn't agree; after all, I would marry a blue-eyed foreigner totally outside the Brahmanic pale of civilization. I also learned that day that I was prone to catching colds, I would cross the oceans and settle far from home -- and I would die between July 2003 and July 2004. I accepted the prediction about death as fully as I did the others. The shocking news was that I was destined to live so long. I was a knowledgeable child, and I knew that the United Nations calculated the average Indian life span to be 37 years.

7.16 Kubera Yoga: When Mars, Venus, Saturn and Rahu occupy Virgo sign, this yoga is formed. Native will be as rich as Kubera.

7.17 Lakshmi Yoga: This yoga has two variants. Either the 9^th lord is placed in a Kendra/ Trikone (preferably in own/exaltation sign), and lagna is strong. Alternately lagna lord and 9^th lord together aspect lagna. This yoga confers uninterrupted financial affluence, learning, fame, happiness, authority and all material comforts.

In the chart 9^th lord Mercury and Lagna lord Venus are both posited in 7^th house aspecting lagna, thus conferring Lakshmi yoga. Jupiter is depositor of Moon and from 11^th house is aspecting Moon. Gauri yoga is also formed. This Jupiter is being aspected by Yogkaraka Saturn from 11^th house. Besides there are several Dhan & Raj yogas in the chart.

The readers may study various combinations and their significations for themselves.

The natie is an IAS officer. In his chart Venus is in 11^th house, Jupiter I sin 9^th from Venus (in 7^th), and Moon is in 9^th from Jupiter, Whereas Sun is in Kendra (12^th house) from Moon. This has conferred Marud yoga on the native. However as lagna is in Rahu-Ketu axis, native had to suffer the humiliation of a scam towards the end of his service.

7.20 Matru-Mooldhan Yoga: If 2^nd lord is conjunct with or aspected by the 4^th lord in a Kendra/Trikone, this yoga is formed. Such a native gets wealth through mother or maternal relations. The wealth/ source of earning could vary as per the nature of the 4^th lord. Thus if 4^th lord is Mars, agriculture may be the source.

7.21 Mriga Yoga: This yoga is formed when the Navamsha lord of 8^th joins the exalted 9^th lord in an auspicious house and lagna lord is strong. Such a native is immensely rich, respected, charitable, and powerful.

Both Jupiter (from 9^th house) and 9^th lord from 7^th house aspects lagna, making lagna also very strong.

Lagna lord Mercury is in 2^nd house with 3^rd lord Sun causing Buddha-aditya yoga. He has many Rajyoga and Dhanyoga with all the three Trika (6^th, 8^th, & 12^th) houses vacant. He rose very high in dasha of Jupiter, Saturn & Mercury from 1945 onwards. During this Period, he has been a senior congressman as chief minister of Himachal Pradesh and union cabinet minister. However Mercury being debilitated in Navamsha, caused his downfall at the end of Mercury dasha.

7.23 Putra-Mooldhan Yoga: If strong 2^nd lord conjoins 5^th lord/ Jupiter and lagna lord is very strong in most Vargas, this yoga is formed. The native gets wealth through his sons or after the birth of his son or through joint venture with his son.

The native is bestowed great wealth, long life, smooth career, great intelligence and victory over enemies. Shri B. Ramalingam Raju has this yoga, but unfortunately his Mars in 2^nd house is closely conjunct with Rahu, making the yoga non-operative.

7.26 Vasumati Yoga: If benefic planets Jupiter, Venus and Mercury (Unafflicted) occupy Upchaya (3^rd, 6^th, 10^th & 11^th) houses from lagna or the Moon, this yoga is formed. The native will never be dependant on others, and will always have plenty of wealth and prosperity. This yoga is primarily for wealth. If the benefics are in exaltation, the yoga becomes extremely powerful. Since the benefic planets are only three, all the four Upchaya houses can never be occupied. Malefics could be placed in 6^th or 11^th house to give good results.

The native was a great industrialist of India. In the chart, Upachaya houses from Moon denotes strong benefics-Jupiter in own Nakshtra in 6^th, Venus in her Mooltrikone sign in 10^th and Mercury in 11^th house. In Navamsha, Jupiter, Venus and Mercury are in mutual aspect along 5-11 axis. Strong 8^th lord Venus in lagna with 11^th lord Sun and aspect of Yogkaraka Saturn from 11^th gave him huge inheritance from his illustrious father, Shri G.D. Birla. Moon is Digbali in own Nakshtra aspecting 10^th house. There are many Raj & Dhan yoga present in the chart.

The native was union cabinet minister for over 30 years and was member of parliament for 40 years. He had 11^th lord Mars conjunct with Venus in a Kendra from Lagna lord Mercury posited in 9^th house, thus forming Vidyut yoga. In addition he had exalted Jupiter in 2^nd house.

8. Summary

8.1 There are many Dhan yogas described in classics. Almost every native has some Dhan yoga is his chart. However wealth & prosperity of a native is ascertained by number of Dhan yogas, the strength of planets (in Shadbala & Vargas) forming Dhan yogas and their position in Navamsha (where their strength & number should be retained or improved).

8.2 In this chapter a total of 148 Dhanyogas and role of Indu lagna have been discussed. However in order to maintain brevity only 19 illustrative charts have been discussed to bring out the relevant points.
