Yogakarakas are planets that confer fame, honour, dignity, financial prosperity, political success, and
reputation. Any planet can become yogakaraka when he is a common lord of certain houses. The extent to which he produces a yoga depends upon the strength he has gained by virtue of Shadbalas association, aspect and occupation.
1. A planet owning both a Kendra (quadrant) and a Trikona (trine) becomes a yogakaraka. This is possible only in case of Mars, Saturn and Venus. In case of Kataka Lagna (Cancer rising) and Simha Lagna (Leo rising) Mars can officiate as Yogakaraka as he becomes lord of 5th
and 10th with reference to Cancer and 4th and 9th from Leo. When the ascendant is Thula (Libra) Saturn owns 4th and 5th—an angle and a trine respectively and hence he
becomes yogakaraka. And when the ascendant is Taurus, Saturn becomes 9th and 10th lord and hence a yogakaraka. Venus becomes a yogakaraka, when the ascendant becomes Makara (Capricorn) or Kumbha (Aquarius); in the former case Venus owns the 5th and 10th houses and in the latter case he becomes lord of 4th and 9th.
2. When a Kendradhipati (angular lord) becomes associated with Trikonadhipati (trinal lord), then also, a Rajayoga is caused. Between these two lords in association, he who is not blemished either by the other ownership (such as 3rd, 6th, etc.) or by associating with lords of 3, 6, 8, becomes the acting yogakaraka. It should be remembered carefully that the most powerful Rajayoga could be caused
by the association of lords of 9th and 10th. The combination of the lords of the 4th and 5th, 7th and 5th, 10th and 5th, 4th and 9th, 7th and 9th and 10th and 9th is so powerful that it can overcome, to a large measure, the slight blemish caused by other malefic lordships.
3. When the 9th and 10th lords have exchanged their places, each is capable of becoming a Rajayogakaraka; also, when the 9th lord is in the 10th or the 10th lord is in the 9th, a Rajayoga is caused.
4. When the 9th and 10th lords fully aspect each other, they will confer Rajayoga.
5. Apart from the Rajayogas referred to above, certain yogas will be caused due to the position of certain planets in certain situations. Thus Jupiter and the Moon mutually aspecting or in mutual quadrants will also confer fame and dignity. There are several Yogas mentioned in Sanskrit works, a detailed list of which will be found in Satayogamanjari by B. Suryanarain Rao and in my Hindu Predictive Astrology. I have given some typical Yogas in my Three Hundred Important Combinations. In all cases, wherever a Rajayoga is noticed, the extent to which it will be realised depends upon the inherent strength it has gained as a result of ownership, association, occupation and aspect of the two planets that cause a Yoga. The Yoga can really be of some substantial effect provided the planets causing the yoga are within 12° of each other. In measuring then yogas or even the general nature of the horoscope, the starting point should be either the ascendant or the Moon, whichever is stronger.
