PLANETARY COMBINATIONS OR YOGAS

Yoga means combination but in common parlance yoga means
a certain definite or special combination, which adds strength
to the horoscope or removes the vitality from it. Human life
falls under two categories – Yoga and Arishtas or fortunes
and misfortunes. Yogas include success in every sphere of
life. Arishtas or misfortunes include all sorts of miseries of life.
A yoga is formed by more than one planet. For interpreting
yogas, followings are required -
1. The good and evil lords in a horoscope
2. The inherent strengths of planets
3. The residential strength of planets.
ARISHTA YOGA :
In Arishta yoga, longevity of nature is considered. Eighth house
is considered as ‘AYUS STHANA’ or house of longevity
whereas Saturn is considered as ‘Ayuskaraka’ or the
significator of longevity. The third house is 8th from 8th and
therefore it is believed that strong unaffiliated Saturn, 8th and
3rd lords make a native long lived, Life span is governed by
Moon in infancy, by Mars –Venus – Mercury in young age,
by Jupiter in middle age and by Saturn in old age.
