4 Solar Yogas

The Solar Yogas are simply formed by planets falling in the 2nd from the Sun, in the 12th from the Sun, or in the 2nd and 12th from the Sun. For the formation of these yogas, only the starry planets (Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, enus and Saturn! are considered. "n obser#ation of the hea#ens re#eals the importance of the planets falling in the 2nd and 12th from the Sun. $lanets falling in the 2 nd and 12th from the Sun are respecti#ely obser#able as e#ening %stars& 'ust after the setting of the Sun, or as morning %stars& 'ust before the rising of the Sun. (hen a planet is #ie)able as an e#ening or morning %star,& it is at its brightest and most lustrous* therefore, planets falling in the 2 nd and 12th from the Sun become more significant. The planets in the 2nd and 12th from the Sun, appearing brighter and more lustrous upon rising or setting, represent more of )hat the nati#e has in life, and also indicate the stronger character +ualities. ,oth the natural +ualities of the planets as )ell as the lordship of the planets become more significant and positi#e in the horoscope. "ny other good yogas that these planets may be forming are empo)ered and become more influential. -i.en the planets in the 2nd and 12th from the Sun to those sitting to the right and left of the .ing.

The Sun is the firmest and steadiest of the planets, therefore, the planets in the 2nd and 12th from the Sun become firmer and steadier. This is one reason )hy these planets become capable of greater success. The Sun is also the most positi#e energi/ed planet* it only rules one rasi, -eo, a male, positi#e rasi. 0ue to this, the planets forming Solar Yogas become capable of greater initiali/ation and actuali/ation, and become more acti#e in the nati#e1s character. 2ne of the benefits of a Solar Yoga is that if a planet, )hich is ta.ing part in a Solar Yoga, falls in a dusthana, then the disrupti#e and destructi#e effects of the dusthana upon that planet are slightly lessened, since any planet that is in the 2 nd or 12th from the Sun represents those things that the nati#e has more readily at their disposal. Solar Yogas are not dasa dependent* they gi#e traits and +ualities that manifest throughout life. The characteristics of the planets forming Solar Yogas )ill strongly influence the nati#e1s personality and actions. Most significantly, they pro#ide a foundation for the success of any other yogas that the Solar Yoga forming planets are also ta.ing part in. " planet ta.ing part in a Solar Yoga boosts the po)er and influence of the other yogas it is ta.ing part in. Vosi Yoga: " planet, not including the Moon, 3ahu or 4etu, in the 12th from the Sun. %2ne born )ith osi Yoga )ill be s.illful, charitable, of e5cellent speech, loo.ing to)ards the sides, employed, e+ual to a .ing, and genuine. 6e is endo)ed )ith fame, learning, strength, and a good

$lanets forming osi Yoga rise before the Sun* therefore, these planets are those )ith )hich the nati#e initiates the e5periences in their life. These are potentially the most acti#ating and initiali/ing planets in the horoscope. The traits of these planets )ill be #ery noticeable in the nati#e upon first impression. 7enerally benefics forming osi Yoga are fa#ored. 8lassical te5ts gi#e #ery different results to benefics #s. malefics forming osi Yoga9 %2ne born in a Su#osi Yoga ( osi Yoga formed by benefics! )ill be liberal, blessed )ith all .inds of comforts, )ealth, and happiness, a fa#orite of the so#ereign, li.ed by all, e5ceedingly prosperous, and famous.&

Malefics forming osi Yoga indicate greater hardships in initiating life1s e5periences than do benefics, ho)e#er, they also become more producti#e, so any other good yogas they are forming become more po)erful and success producing.

Saravali gi#es different results for the different planets that may be forming osi Yoga, but the important point is that the +ualities of the planets forming osi Yoga become significant and acti#e9 ,ars: %The sub'ect )ill be #ictorious in )ar, famous, and )ill li#e )ith his o)n fortunes.& Mars forming osi Yoga by being in the 12 th from the Sun indicates a nati#e )ho initiates life through their )ill and strength. 8ourage, strong opinions, logic, )illfulness, and possible rec.lessness are noticeable upon first impression. :f Mars is afflicted by being combust, or influenced by Saturn or 3ahu, there can be a tendency to)ards pushiness, forcefulness and demanding tendencies. ,er#ury: %2ne )ill spea. s)eetly, be beautiful and obey others; orders.& Mercury forming osi Yoga by being in the 12 th from the Sun indicates that the nati#e is thoughtful, fair and practical )ith regards to that )hich they initiate in life, and upon first impression. -upiter: %The nati#e )ill possess courage, strength and )isdom. 6e )ill .eep his )ord.& Jupiter forming osi Yoga by being in the 12 th from the Sun indicates that the nati#e approaches things )ith )isdom, faith and understanding.

$lanets forming esi Yoga rise after the Sun* therefore, these planets are those that the nati#e applies to that )hich they ha#e in their li#es, as compared to planets forming osi Yoga, )hich are used for purposes of initiation. $lanets forming esi Yoga are not as acti#ating and initiali/ing as planets forming osi Yoga, rather they are )hat the nati#e uses to benefit from and ta.e ad#antage of that )hich they do ha#e. The traits of these planets )ill become more noticeable as one gets to .no) the nati#e. Since the Sun is a #ery acti#ating and initiali/ing planet, osi Yoga is a bit more po)erful than esi Yoga. 8lassical te5ts, therefore, gi#e esi Yoga slightly less influential results than they gi#e osi Yoga. 8lassical te5ts also gi#e #ery different results to esi Yoga being formed by benefics #s. malefics9 %The person born in a Su#esi Yoga ( esi Yoga formed by benefics! )ill be #ery handsome, amiable, happy,
