Apart from
the results ascribed by the classical writers, we may make a few
observations.
-
In
regard to Nav Yoga (75), all the planets will be in the invisible
sphere of the heavens. It seems to be generally productive of good
and to have a bearing on the native having to do with water, watery
places and aquatic substances.
- In
regard to Kuta, when all the planets will be in the seven houses
from the fourth, it will be more
or
less an equal distribution of planets in the visible halves of the
zodiac. The native may frequent caves, mountains, etc., and he will
be addicted to evil habits. Robbers, drunkards, cheats and
others may have
this combination.
-
-
In
Chhatra Yoga, all the planets will be in the visible half and hence
may be deemed to be favourable. The native will be happy in the
beginning and end of his life. He will possess great strength of
mind and will earn much wealth.
-
In Chapa Yoga all the planets will
be in the 10th and subsequent houses and one born in this yoga will
lead a comfortable life delighting in good deeds.

Even in the production of
results the difference between the
two yogas is hardly worth attention,
for while
Vajra makes one
fair, brave and happy, the effects of Yava are restricted to a
particular period of life, viz., the
middle portion.
If one makes a serious attempt to
study a number of horoscopes, he will not be slow in
appreciating one important truth, viz., that Yava
Yoga is hardly conducive to the health and bodily happiness of the native
or his wife, for if malefics

the Lagna and the 7th, their effects, unless
counterbalanced by other horoscopic factors, such as

powerful yogas or inherent strength, etc., would necessarily
converge on these two houses.
These two yogas are not after all very
important, because often times
their influences become merged with those of other
powerful yogas.

in general. If these three houses are well
fortified,

One born in Sringhataka
, is
said to be happy in his later life.
With due deference to
the sages who have attributed this result, I have to observe that the period of happiness depends upon the
stress laid on any one of the trines by virtue of a
larger number of benefics being placed in it. Thus if the
stress is on the Lagna, the beginning of life will be happy;
if in the 5th, the middle part of life; and if in the 9th,
the last part. This is a simple observation

Hala Yoga is said to make one an agriculturist. Three
variations can be seen in this Yoga, all the planets
may occupy
(a) the 2nd, 6th and 10th houses,
(b) the
3rd, 7th and 11th houses and
(c) the 4th, 8th and 12th
houses.
Hala Yoga would be helpful in deciding one's
profession, for a number of horoscopes possessing
this combination, belong to agriculturists, farmers,
estate managers, zamindars and petty land
lords.

Definition.—

Yoga will result when the
planets are situated in the four kendras,

caused when the planets are ranged in the four Panaparas or the four Apoklimas.
Results.—
- One born in Kamala will not become much
wealthy, but he will command high prestige, wide fame and
innumerable virtues.
- Vapee
makes one hoarder of money.

He deals with them
in his Brihat Jataka simply adopting the views of
Yavana and others and feels sceptical about their possibility
with the query 'How can Mercury and Venus
occupy the 4th sign (Bhavana) from the Sun ?'
The possibility or
otherwise of Vajra, Yava and similar yogas which require
mutual angular dispositions of
the Sun and Mercury and Venus depends upon whether these
yogas refer to the positions of planets in the Rasi Chakra or
Bhava Chakra.
If
the former, as is clearly implied
by the letter Bhavana used by Mihira
which means a sign, then the Sun can never be
in a Kendra from Mercury or Venus.
If on the other
hand, the reference is to Bhava Chakra as some scholars contend, then Mercury can occupy a kendra
bhava from the Sun, which could be possible in
very high latitudes.
The
refore the ancient writers have not erred if
the Vajra and Yava Yogas refer to the positions in the Bhava
Chakra.
