Some auspicious yogas
- Gaja Kesari Yoga — Jupiter in a kendra (angle) from the Moon; linked to wisdom, respect and lasting reputation.
- Raj Yoga — a relationship between lords of kendra (angular) and trikona (trine) houses; linked to authority and success.
- Dhana Yoga — combinations of the 2nd, 5th, 9th and 11th lords; linked to wealth.
- Budhaditya Yoga — Sun and Mercury together; linked to intelligence and communication.
- Pancha Mahapurusha Yogas — Ruchaka, Bhadra, Hamsa, Malavya and Shasha, formed when Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus or Saturn sit strong in a kendra.
How yogas actually work
A yoga only delivers fully when the planets forming it are strong and undamaged, and when its ruling dasha period is active. The same yoga can be powerful in one chart and dormant in another, which is why personal analysis matters.

A combination where Jupiter sits in an angle (kendra) from the Moon, traditionally linked to wisdom, respect and a lasting good name.
Do auspicious yogas always give results?
Only when the planets forming them are strong and the relevant dasha is active. A yoga can stay dormant in a weak chart.
