Top 5 Yogas we found in Birth Chart during Consultation

Many people share similar planetary combinations in their charts and on the surface they appear to form the same Yogas.

 Yet when these Yogas play out in real life, the experiences , results and life expressions vary from person to person. This is because a yoga may be the same but the karmic context , strength of planets , Dasha and individual life journey are always unique. 

Before we Proceed you need to know what is a Yog and when it is formed. To put it simply – Yog basically means Union – Astrologically it means when two or more planetary bodies come together and have one single agenda. Such as two benefic planets coming in the 7th house will give the Yog of early Marriage whereas Malefics in the 7th house will give the Yog of late or no marriage. 

In this article we are going to explore the top 5 Yogas we most frequently see in people’s chart during our consultation – Yogas that are common , yet unfold very differently for each individual. By understanding these patterns you’ll see why two people with the same yoga can still walk very different paths and what these combinations truly mean for your own life.     

Vipreet Raj Yoga 

Vipreet Raj Yoga is one of those yogas that sounds sweet on paper but feels like burning coal when life actually makes you walk through it. This yoga works only when you fall, only when everything is taken away, only when the usual support is gone. Because the logic of Vipreet is simple – the trik bhavas digest poison first, then they feed you nectar. Vipreet Raj Yoga is formed when the lords of the 6th, 8th, or 12th go into each other’s houses or fall in their own houses with strength. The person rises not because life was smooth but because life cornered them so tightly that the only option left was transformation. People with this yoga do not get blessings in a decorated box – they get them through ruined plans, broken expectations & sudden losses. Yet that same destruction becomes the fuel for a rise nobody can explain logically.  

This is why Deepanshu Sir says when the trik houses are activated properly, the native becomes fearless. Once someone has already walked inside fire, what is left to threaten them? When Vipreet Raj Yoga forms strongly, life first moves in the opposite direction – everything looks like it’s collapsing, going wrong, slipping out of your hands. But that very collapse becomes the turning point. Situations that were meant to break you end up becoming the very events that lift you. You rise again & again, like a phoenix that has already accepted fire as its home. But there is a condition people often forget – the Lagna and Lagna Lord must be strong – Without a strong foundation, the storms created by the trik houses can shake a person instead of shaping them. Many charts show Vipreet Raj Yoga on paper, but very few have it formed with enough strength to actually create the turnaround. The yoga is common but its real fruition is rare. 

For this yoga to be manifested properly in a chart, the Lagna lord should be powerfully placed and the right Dasha should also be there. 

Gaj Kesari Yoga 

Gaj Kesari Yoga forms when Guru and Chandra occupies mutual Kendras and its assessment is always done from using Chandra as Lagna , for it is the Moon that governs the inner throne of mind. Although this yoga is popularly praised for giving fortune its true essence is much deeper. In Jyotish , Chandra is the natural lord of  4th bhava -the seat of mana , desires , samskaras and our connection to mrityuloka. All human desires arises through the Moon ; hence the northern direction connected to Chandra is ruled by Kubera , the guardian of wealth. Human life moves because of desire but whether these desires uplift or entangle us depends entirely on grahas influencing the Moon. When Guru stands in Kendra from Chandra the turbulent flow of desires become calm and sattvic. Guru the lord of the northeast -the realm of Mahadeva who is beyond kala (time) brings clarity ,discrimination and higher understanding. Thus , when Chandra aligns with Guru the native gains a rare balance :material support along with emotional steadiness and inner expansion. This is the true tattva of Gaj Kesari Yoga.  

Yet ,even a yoga as auspicious as this may remain dormant if certain conditions are not met. When Chandra is afflicted or Guru is weak , combust or hemmed by malefics the yoga loses its strength and may not fruitify. Phaladeepika clearly states that benefic Drishti is essential for this yoga to give full phala. In many horoscopes this ideal purity is missing but Jyotish always offers the path of suddhi. Being a union of Guru- Chandra symbolic of Shiv Shakti Tattva the blemish on this yoga can be removed through specific remedies , vratas and upayas prescribed as per individual charts. Such remedies work gradually but when they activate the results come in expanded , unexpected forms , carrying both grace and wisdom. 

In the chart of Charlton Heston the famous Hollywood movie star ,the working of this yoga becomes quite prominent. He won the Best Actor Academy Award for Ben Hur on 4th April 1960 during a period strongly supported by Guru-Chandra influence. His Mahadasha was Aquarius , the fifth house where Ketu is well placed and Jupiter is in the lagna gaining full directional strength. The Aquarius-Libra Dasha brought him the award , recognition and made him a “legendary actor”. From the aquarius major period sign, Jupiter is in the 9th house of fortune and great luck aspecting the mahadasha sign and Ketu. From the sub period sign Sagittarius , Jupiter is in the 11th house of gain and in its own nakshatra Vishakha . Moon is powerful in his chart and placed in Jupiter’s nakshatra which is noteworthy as the Moon being in Cancer receives sign aspect and the aspect of Jupiter. His Vimshottari Dasha running was Ketu-Venus, and from Venus , the Moon is in the 11th house of gains, fame and limelight. 

 

Dharma-Karma Adhipati Yoga 

Dharma-Karma Adhipati Yoga is different. It does not make you rise after falling. It makes you rise while walking. This is the combination of your Dharma (9th house) & Karma (10th house) – natural connection of Jupiter & Lord Saturn – when this combination gets formed in the chart strongly – native align their work with destiny but the quality of any yoga to be formed is to be seen from which planets is it being formed – in that sense the results come into fructification.  

This yoga is formed when the lord of the 9th house (dharma) connects with the lord of the 10th house (karma) either by conjunction or mutual aspect. When dharma & karma shake hands, the universe aligns your purpose with your work. You start doing exactly what you were born to do. This yoga doesn’t give success automatically – it gives you direction. It makes your karma meaningful, not mechanical. People with this yoga often meet guiding teachers at the right time, get opportunities that match their dharma & receive blessings through their actions.  

When people come to take consultation with this combination in their birth chart, they are very optimistic in nature and they are always ready to do something to change their fortune, these are the people who are aware of their action(karma) and ethics(dharma) at the same time.  

Guru Chandal Yog 

People with this combination during our consultation, we found they are most inquisitive person, they are always looking for some answers for which they don’t even know the questions properly. They are brilliant in their scientific approach. 

Guru Chandal Yog is one of the most misunderstood combinations in Jyotish. The moment people hear Jupiter with Rahu they assume corruption, broken Dharma and chaos but how can a planet as massive and protective as Jupiter whose gravitational strength shields Earth itself be so easily “tainted” by a shadow?  Ever yoga has two sides and the moment we understand its higher possibility we understand the intention behind this challenging combination. 

Guru Rahu is not effective everywhere; it awakens only in the houses where its frequency finds a doorway. Rishi Parasara hints subtly that each yog becomes alive only when it receives its rightful domain much like a seed sprouting only in the right soil. Rahu reflects the fierce energy of Chhinamasta the self- decapitated goddess who feeds her companions with her own blood , symbolizing the explosive, unrestrained surge of desire and life-force. When Jupiter meets this shadow forces the native carries dharma that does not fit social norms .Their hunger for knowledge resembles Dhoomavati- ancient , deep unsettling and their intuition strikes with the lightning of Chhinnamasta cutting through illusions with brutal clarity. This creates the true ‘curse’ of Guru Chandal Yog: the frustration of holding powerful, otherworldly wisdom but finding no one capable of understanding it. 

When Jupiter merges with Rahu in the right houses especially the 9th or 4th it becomes a blessing , expanding the native’s ability to interpret dharma beyond scriptures to read between the lines , and to receive wisdom from realms others cannot perceive. Yet in places like 1st or 11th the same energy becomes volatile shaking marital life or fracturing peace until karmic debts are resolved. 

Jupiter provides wisdom but Rahu opens the channel beyond the visible spectrum. The native becomes a conduit a medium through which Devguru Brihaspati can transmit knowledge that does not exist in books. This is why such people often feel misunderstood in their lifetime ; their frequency operates above or below the band of the seven classical planets. Yet their insights hold layers – every time you hear them , new meaning emerges. If understood and channelled through upayas and disciplined living , this yoga transforms from a feared yoga into a rare spiritual and intellectual blessings. In Jyotish no combination is completely good or bad ; its manifestation depends entirely on the house it touches and the consciousness of the one who carries it. 

Budh Aditya Yoga 

This is the most commonly found in any chart, but when people get this combination in right sing and right house it manifest the most optimum results for this combination. Their love for knowledge and wisdom is always motivate them to understand deeper meaning of their birth charts.  

This yoga is formed when Sun and Mercury are placed in the same house. Irrespective of the sign , the moment they sit together the Budh aditya Yoga is activated though the house it occupies becomes the real deciding factor. Sun and Mercury share a natural friendship and when they combine they bring auspicious results.  Budh Aditya simply means the union of intellect and soul light. Surya provides Prana, vitality and life force ; Mercury contributes logic , articulation and cleverness. With this combination the native receives status ,leadership qualities , success and a prosperous life especially when the conjunction occurs in favourable houses. 

Budh is considered youthful and curious while Surya represents the guiding father. So when these planets joins it reflects a karmic bond where the “inner child” (Budh) learns from the “inner father” (Surya). This often shows a father who shapes the native’s thinking , career inclinations , speech or personality for better or for challenges. Even the native’s confidence , communication style and mental patterns often carry imprints of father’s influence. 

Yet the same Agni that brightens the Buddhi also heats the Vak . Such natives are very straightforward in speech and often too honest for other’s comfort. The native may unknowingly speak with authority , and their tone can feel like a decree.  The native possess the capability to counsel, guide, write, calculate, and communicate with clarity. 

When supported by benefics the mind becomes refined , devotional and spiritually inclined . If Saturn, Rahu or Ketu joins the conjunction the yoga gains the flavour of raj yoga giving authority , recognition or sudden rise. However, if either Sun or Mercury is debilitated, the yoga weakens. A safe distance of at least 5–7 degrees between the planets ensures that Mercury does not burn under Surya’s heat and can express itself clearly. 

The chart of Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam’s chart beautifully explains the brilliance he carried throughout his life. With Mercury exalted and joined by Sun in 3rd house , the Budh aditya yoga gifted him exceptional cognitive sharpness , innovation and technical mastery – qualities that later shaped India’s missile and aerospace advancements. Saturn the 8th lord placed in the 6th forms a powerful Vipreet Rajyoga while Jupiter exalted in the Lagna kept him ahead of challenges helping him rise despite early struggles. Even though this Budh aditya yoga sits on the Rahu-Ketu axis , Mercury’s exaltation and the Sun’s strength protected his fame, allowing him to become not only the “Missile Man of India” but also one of the most loved Presidents. Saturn’s influence further anchored his deep interest in research, transforming hardships into stepping stones towards greatness.
