Let us continue with YOGAMS........

Next in the line comes KARTARI YOGAMS


This group of yogas is caused by planets being placed around a certain house and/or planet. The most generally occurring Kartari yoga is when two benefics or malifics enclose a planet or a house.

Kartari means scissors.

It got this name as formation of this Yogam acts as scissor to the prospective results of the house/planet involved. However when a Shubha Kartari Yogam is formed as explained below, it will act as catalyst to the results of the house/planet involved.

 

[GANESH65]

Example:Let us assume that Venus is in Taurus, Saturn (a malefic) in Aries and Mars (amalefic) in Gemini. Two malefics enclose Venus. Therefore, Venus will not beable to function optimally. In Western horary astrology, we know the termenclosed, which is used when a planet in enclosed by two malefics. In Indianastrology, the term enclosed is used for containment in a negative sense, andalso for containment with positive consequences.

 

[GANESH65]

· We call enclosure by malefics of a planet or a house as papa kartari yoga.

· We call enclosure by benefics of a planet or a house as shubha kartari yoga.

Example: If Venus is in Taurus, Jupiter (a benefic) in Aries, and the Moon (a benefic) in Gemini, then Venus will function exceptionally well. This is Shubha kartari yoga.

 

[GANESH65]

A house can also be enclosed, although there is no planet in that house.


Example:Mars is in the fourth house, the fifth house is empty and Saturn is in the sixth house. This can have awkward consequences for the children, because two malefics enclose the fifth house. In this case, the fifth house encounters a papa kartari yoga.

 

[GANESH65]

However,when Venus is in the fourth house and Jupiter in the sixth house, every thing pertaining to the fifth house will be beneficially influenced. In this situation, the fifth house is strengthened by the occurrence of a shubha kartari yoga.

 

[GANESH65]

The planets can form these Kartari yogas, but not Rahu and Ketu.


This type of Kartari yoga is common. When the first house is enclosed, it is of particular importance. This is because the first house is or Lagna is the base on which the entire horoscope is built.


In Gandhi's horoscope we can see that the first house is enclosed by the Sun(malefic in the twelfth house) and Saturn (malefic in the second house). This is a papa kartari yoga, which caused a certain number of problems in his life. We will discuss this when we do house based analysis.

 

[GANESH65]

KARTARI YOGAS OF THE MOON


There are a number of Kartari yogas that apply specifically to the Moon or the Sun.

 

[GANESH65]

Sunapha yoga:

Planets in the second house (other than the Sun) calculated from the Moon – richness, financial benefits. The effects of this are stronger if benefics are situated in the second house calculated from the Moon. Should there be one or more malefics in this second house from the Moon, the effect will be limited, or there will be no effect at all.

 

[GANESH65]

Anapha yoga:


Planets in the twelfth house (other than the Sun) calculated from the Moon - religious.

This effect increases if there are benefics in the twelfth house calculated from the Moon, but should it concern one or more malefics, the effect is limited or non-effective.

 

[GANESH65]

Durudhura yoga:

Planets (other than the Sun) in both the twelfth and the second house calculated from the Moon - rich and high morals (especially if it concerns beneficial planets).

 

[GANESH65]

Kemadruma yoga:

There are no planets in either the twelfth or the second house calculated from the Moon. Other planets do not support the functions of the Moon. The person will feel lonely and lead a rather difficult life. There are many ways in which this difficult yoga can be neutralised. An example: should the Moon be in either a kendra or a trikona house, in conjunction with another planet or being aspected by Jupiter this yoga will be greatly neutralised

 

[GANESH65]

Gandhi had Kemadruma yoga in his horoscope, because there are no planets in either the twelfth or the second house calculated from the Moon. However, the Moon is in the tenth house (a kendra house). This greatly neutralises the Kemadruma yoga.

 

[GANESH65]

KARTARI YOGAS OF THE SUN


Now we shall discuss the scissors yogas of the Sun. Planets in the second or the twelfth house calculated from the Sun, will strengthen the Sun (naturally in their own manner, according to their character).

 

[GANESH65]

Veshi yoga:

When a planet (other than the Moon) is in the second house calculated from the Sun, it forms a veshi yoga. This yoga gives riches and status, at least when this yoga is formed by benefics. If it is formed by malefics it can lead to all kinds of problems.

 

[GANESH65]

Voshi yoga:

This occurs when a planet (other than the Moon) is placed in the twelfth house calculated from the Sun. This yoga supports spiritual development and intelligence, at least when it is formed by a benefic. A malefic in the twelfth house calculated from the Sun will give us problems.

 

[GANESH65]

Kennedyhad both a benefic and a malefic in the twelfth house calculated from the Sun.He was intelligent (the influence of Mercury), but the fact that he was assassinated had something to do with the powerful malefic Mars (in a moolatrikonahouse) in the eighth house, which is the twelfth house calculated from the Sun.This very same Mars also gave him his sex appeal.


Theeighth house represents death as well as sexual charisma. A powerful Mars inthat house can lead to a violent death (Mars as powerful malefic) as well as alot of sexual charisma. The Voshi yoga increases the above effects.

 

[GANESH65]

Ubhayachari yoga:

There is a planet (other than the Moon) in both the second and the twelfth house calculated from the Sun. This brings good fortune in many areas, but again only if it involves benefics. Malefics may cause trouble.

When a person has both a Veshi and Voshi yoga, he actually has Ubhayachari yoga.

 

[GANESH65]

It would be logical to expect a yoga when there are no planets in the second orthe twelfth house calculated from the Sun. This is not the case. The Sun is in itself, a powerful planet, and it can function very well alone, without the support of other planets. A benefic in the vicinity is always appreciated, but it is not necessary.

Several of the aforementioned yoga’s will appear in everyone's horoscope. Because they appear so often, they are yoga’s, that can only lead to sizable results, when they are related to other indications.

 

[GANESH65]

VARIOUSYOGAS


Itis already explained that there are literally thousands of yogas. The followinglist is of particularly important yoga’s. One must realise that this is only avery small selection. For those who wish to learn more on this subject, Theymay refer many books published in thisregard. The book 'yogas in Astrology' by K. S. Charak is a good reference book on Yogas..

 

[GANESH65]

Raja yoga:

The lords of a kendra and a trikona house are in conjunction, mutually aspected or in reception. This is a combination of good fortune (trikona house) and action (kendra house), so take advantage of it. I would like to point out that raja yoga could be formed by one planet, and also by two planets.


Example: With an Aries ascendant, the Moon is lord of the fourth house and the Sun is lord of the fifth house. Should the Sun and the Moon be in conjunction in a horoscope with an Aries ascendant, the two planets then form raja yoga. In this case, the Moon is lord of a kendra house (the fourth) and the Sun is lord of a trikona house (the fifth).

 

[GANESH65]

Adhi yoga:

There must be at least two, but preferably more, benefics in the sixth, seventh and eighth house calculated from the Moon - leadership.


Benefics in the sixth and/or eighth house support the seventh house (refer to scissors yoga’s). A benefic in the seventh house will of course lead to a better functioning of that house. However, the seventh house is opposite the Ascendant. Because of this, it also has consequences for the functioning of the ascendant. When a planet is placed in the seventh house, it will aspect the first house. This is the reason that a strong seventh house also gives us a strong first house.

 

[GANESH65]

Inasmuch As the first house is the whole horoscope in short, a strong first house is of particular importance. It then follows that the consequence of adhi yoga is a strong first house, which will therefore lead to positive results.


Analogically adhi yoga calculated from the Moon, will also allow the Moon to function much better. The Moon is the most important planet in Indian astrology. That The Moon should function well is therefore of great importance.

 

[GANESH65]

Amala yoga:

A benefic placed in the tenth house calculated from the ascendant or the Moon - philanthropic and benevolent attitude towards mankind, career in the social sector

If a malefic is placed in this position, it may be favourable for the owner of the horoscope (explanation: malefics in upachaya houses are good and the tenth house is an upachaya house). However, it may mean, that he attains a high-ranking position at the cost of others. At the very least, he will not be very particular in choosing the avenues leading to social success.
