The Kendra Group

6. Gada (Mace) Yoga: This yoga is formed when all or majority of the planets are placed in two adjacent Kendra. Four variations of this yoga are described in classics depending upon which two adjacent Kendra are occupied by the planets. When lagna & 4th house contain all the planets, it is called Gada Yoga. When 4th & 7th houses contain all the planets, it is called Shankha yoga. When 7th & 10th houses contain all the planets, it is called Vibhuka Yoga. When 10th house & lagna contain all the planets, it is called Dhwaja Yoga. The native with any of these yogas is wealthy, learned, industrious, prosperous, well versed in Mantra, Tantra & music and envious of others.

The chart belong to great, learned, social worker & chairperson of Theosophical society and of Indian National Congress. She had two planets (Moon & Jupiter) in 4th house and Sun, Mercury & Venus in 7th house. However presence of Sun & Rahu (Separatist planets) with 7th lord & Karaka of marriage Venus, denied her marital life and she was separated from her husband very early in life.

7. Shakata (Cart) Yoga: This yoga is formed when all or majority of planets are located in lagna & 7th house. This yoga is different from the yoga of same name formed by Jupiter & Moon in 6/8 position from each other. One born with this yoga suffers penury & privations, ill-health, discord with a wicked wife, and hardly to make livelihood through hard labour. The planets occupying two opposing Kendra create a lot of confusion & conflict. The native suffers through struggles all his life. When majority of planets occupy opposite Kendras, the planets escaping 1/7 axis indicates extent of relief according to their nature, strength and placement.

8. Pakshi/ Vihanga (bird) Yoga: If all or majority of planets are placed in 4th & 10th houses from lagna, it depicts the shape of a bird with wings spread out and therefore, is called a “Pakshi or Vihanga” yoga. Native with such a yoga is always on move and can not stay at one place for long. Such natives are wanderer, servile, quarrelsome, transporter, ambassadors. The concentration of planets in 4/10 axis, emphasis shifts towards profession. Such natives may rise high in their profession, but are likely to have frequent transfers during their career.

The chart belong to famous French astrologer of 16th century. The native had five planets in 4/10 axis- Moon, Jupiter & Saturn in 4th and Sun & Mercury in 10th house. The other two planets- Mars & Venus were in 5th & 11th house respectively. His strong 4th & 10th house gave him a doctorate in medicine and great proficiency in astrology. His wife & children died early. He moved extensible in France and abroad in course of his career. He is respected even today for his accurate predictions on various issues.

9. Vajra (lethal weapon of Indra) Yoga: This yoga is formed when benefics are placed in lagna & 7th house and malefic are in 4th & 10th house. The native enjoys well during early and later part of due to the presence of benefics in lagna & 7th house; but one suffers in middle life due to the presence of malefic in 4th & 10th houses. A person with this yoga will be good in looks, hard working, bold and courageous, but generally struggles in life due to his poor financial condition. His remuneration for work done, is much less in proportion to the efforts made by him. However thing could improve if one or two planets are well placed in 2, 5, 9, or 11th house. According to Yavaacharya, Sun is considered neutral and not a malefic.

10. Yava (good luck) Yoga: It is just opposite of Vajra yoga. This yoga is formed when all benefics are in 4th & 10th houses and malefic are in lagna & 7th house. According to Parashar, such a native is consistent in nature, follow restraint & auspicious pursuits, happy, wealthy, charitable and have good family life during middle ages.

12. Kamala (lotus) Yoga: Here all planets are placed in Kendra houses. This yoga is quite similar to two yogas discussed above with the only difference being that there is no distinction in nature of planets occupying Kendra. All planets occupying Kendra strengthens them and raises the status of the native. This yoga gives results similar to Chatusagara yoga. It strengthens the chart and cancel many afflictions. However it suffers as no planet occupies wealth giving houses- 2nd, 5th, 9th or 11th.
