Moon as a Factor
If the planet other than the Sun occupies the second sign as counted from the sign occupies by the Moon it constitutes Sunapha Yoga. If any planet other than the Sun occupies the sign twelfth from that occupied by the Moon, this is called Anapha Yoga. If there are planets other than the Sun in signs, i.e. adjacent to the sign tenanted by the Moon, it is called Durudhara Yoga. The Sun in second or twelfth from the Moon does not mar the Yoga, but is not taken into consideration for constituting the Yoga. All these three Yogas are good for wealth and prosperity.
If there is o planet (Sun, Rahu and Ketu are not taken into account in Yogas 1 and 2) on either side (adjacent to the Moon sign), it is called Kemadruma Yoga and the result is poverty. There is one exception to this Yoga. If Jupiter is in the first, fourth, seventh or tenth house from the Moon, it cancels the Kemadruma Yoga.
Adhi Yoga is also formed if instead of counting from the ascendant, the three benefics occupy the three houses-the sixth, seventh and eighth as counted from the Moon.
In I (3) and IV (3) above it is not necessary that Mercury, Jupiter and Venus be in the sixth, seventh or eighth house in regular order. They can all be in one house, or in any two houses or in three different houses; but these houses must be sixth, seventh and eighth. Nor is the Yoga cancelled if along with benefics there are malefics, though the power is impaired. If instead of the three benefics only one is present, 33% of the good effects will be felt; if there are two benefics, the good effects will be 66%, while if all the above three are present, good results will be obtained in full. Such a native is wealthy and occupies a good position in life.
One point must be clarified. In considering this Yoga it has to be judged from the ascendant (see I(3) above) or independently from the Moon. We cannot mix up the two, by saying Mercury is in the sixth from the Moon and Jupiter seventh or sixth from the ascendant and so an Adhi Yoga is formed. If however the Moon is in the ascendant, the Adhi Yoga will be formed by benefics in the sixth, seventh and eighth from the ascendant.
This will be one Adhi Yoga. Another Adhi Yoga will be formed from the Moon. And thus a double set of Adhi Yoga will be formed which will be doubly good.
If all the three benefics, Mercury, Jupiter and Venus, are in the third sixth, tenth or eleventh house from the Moon, the Vasuman Yoga is formed. For result and other particulars see Yoga I (4).
If the Moon is in the third, sixth, ninth or twelfth house from the Sun, the native is courteous, intelligent, learned, wealthy and clever. If the Moon is in the second, fifth, eighth or eleventh from the Sun, the above qualities are of medium order. If the Moon is in the first, fourth, seventh or tenth from the Sun, the above good qualities are at their minimum.
If the Moon is in an angle from Jupiter it constitutes Gaja Kesari Yoga. The native is long-lived, wealthy and prosperous. If both the planets are in angles from the ascendant also, it is a more powerful Yoga.
If the Moon is in the sixth, eighth or twelfth house from Jupiter, it constitutes Shakata Yoga. The native undergoes a cycle of prosperity and adversity like a wheel; for a period he is prosperous and this is followed by a period of adversity, then again a prosperous period, and so on. If the Moon is in angle from the ascendant the above Yoga is not formed.
If the Moon and Jupiter are in their own signs or in their respective signs of exaltation and posited in the first, fourth, fifth, seventh, ninth or tenth house and resultant Yoga is called Gauri. The native leads a comfortable life and is well honoured by the government.
If the Moon and Mars are together, the native is always rich; of course the effects would differ in intensity according to the sing and house position and according to the houses these planets are lords of.
If a full Moon occupies the fourth, seventh or tenth house and is aspected by Jupiter and Venus, the native verily occupies a very high position and has real splendour.
If the full Moon is in the ascendant in Taurus, Venus in Libra and Mercury in the fourth house, the native occupies a very high rank.
