Take Exam (Pay Later)The Royal Courts (Solar & Lunar Yogas)
The Essence
The Sun and Moon are the King and Queen of the chart. A King never walks alone; he has guards, ministers, and jesters. If the Luminaries are solitary, they are weak. The 'Solar and Lunar Yogas' describe the entourage of the Soul and Mind. These combinations determine whether you walk through life with a royal procession or as a lonely wanderer.
Classical Verse
"Chandrat kendragate... Gaja Kesari Yoga. (Parashara)."
Modern Translation
1. Gaja Kesari Yoga (The Elephant-Lion)
Definition: Jupiter in a Kendra (1, 4, 7, 10) from the Moon.
Result: Overpowering fame, wisdom, and a reputation that commands respect. Like a Lion, the native conquers enemies without fighting.
2. Sunapha, Anapha, & Durdhara (The Royal Guard)
Definition: Planets (excluding Sun/Nodes) in the 2nd (Sunapha), 12th (Anapha), or both (Durdhara) from the Moon.
Result: The Mind is supported. Sunapha gives self-earned wealth. Anapha gives spiritual/pleasurable expenditure. Durdhara gives both.
3. Kemadruma Yoga (The Lonely Moon)
Definition: No planets in the 2nd or 12th from the Moon, and no planets in Kendras from the Moon.
Result: Deep mental isolation, poverty, and a feeling of being unsupported by the universe. (Cancelled if Jupiter aspects the Moon).
4. Chandra-Mangala Yoga (The Wealthy Warrior)
Definition: Moon conjoined Mars.
Result: Earnings through unscrupulous means, aggression, or chemicals. Very wealthy but restless mother/mind.
5. Vesi, Vasi, & Ubhayachari (The Solar Guard)
Definition: Planets in 2nd (Vesi), 12th (Vasi), or both (Ubhayachari) from the Sun.
Result: Defines how the Soul projects power. Vesi makes one truthful/lazy. Vasi makes one famous/hardworking. Ubhayachari makes one a King.
Practical Insight
The 'Kemadruma' Buster. If you see a lonely Moon (Kemadruma), do not panic. Check the Kendras (1, 4, 7, 10) from the Lagna. If there are planets there, the yoga is cancelled. If not, the remedy is 'Satsang' (Company of Truth). The native must force themselves to be in supportive communities, as their natural tendency is to isolate.
Go Deeper
Check your Moon. Who is sitting next to it (2nd and 12th)? Who is staring at it (7th)? This 'Social Circle of the Moon' defines your emotional resilience.
