If you’re even remotely interested in Vedic astrology, you’ve probably heard of the term “Yoga.” It is a unique combination that makes the native prosperous when found in a horoscope. There are many special Yogas that are considered important in Vedic astrology. If you ask an astrologer about them, they will most likely give you a long list.
In Vedic astrology, there are hundreds of yogas. Some are extremely powerful in their ability to make us live a glorious life. Some are highly unfavorable and can cause problems in our lives.
What’s Exactly a Yoga in Vedic Astrology?
The concept of “yogas” is unique to Vedic astrology. As we know, the foundation of Vedic astrology is Nakshatra (constellations), Rashi (zodiac sign), and the Navagrahas (nine planets). Yogas are based on the Sun, Moon, and other planetary movements in a chart in Vedic astrology. Yogas are basically unique combinations of planets and their positions with regards to houses and other planets in a horoscope. In Vedic astrology, Yoga (planetary combination) is a predetermined combination of two or more planets, signs, and aspects. The effect of Yoga, whether good or bad, will manifest in one’s life at a time determined by transits and/or planetary periods.
Certain planetary alignments can produce specific outcomes, both good and bad. Yogas are some of the very special positions that Vedic astrology has defined. Because the word Yoga means “union,” the various ways planets interacting and forming combinations are also referred to as Yogas. The majority of Yogas have more than one planet.
When the lords of different houses form a Yoga in a specific house, the results can be positive or negative depending on the area of life that the associated planets and houses represent. You’d rarely find someone who has only favorable Yogas in their horoscope. As with everything good, there is a negative component; similarly, in addition to Yogas, there may be Doshas. Doshas are planetary combinations that can have a negative impact on the native.
