Lakshmi Yoga in Kundli: The 9th Lord in Strength, a Rarer Fortune Yoga
Lakshmi Yoga forms when the lord of the 9th house, the house of fortune, sits in a kendra in its own sign or exaltation. This guide covers the exact rule, what the yoga is said to give, and why it is one of the rarer yogas in a chart. It is part of our series on yogas in Vedic astrology.
संक्षेप में: लक्ष्मी योग तब बनता है जब भाग्य भाव यानी 9वें भाव का स्वामी किसी केंद्र में स्वराशि या उच्च राशि में हो। बलवान भाग्येश केंद्र में हो तो धन, प्रतिष्ठा और बड़ों का सहयोग दिखने लगता है। समृद्धि की देवी लक्ष्मी के नाम वाला यह योग परीक्षण की 291 में से केवल 21 कुंडलियों में मिला, यानी 7.2%। अस्त होना या पाप ग्रहों का प्रभाव इसे घटाता है, और फल मुख्यतः 9वें स्वामी की दशा में मिलता है। पूरा लेख हिंदी में पढ़ें →
How Lakshmi Yoga is formed
Lakshmi Yoga forms when the 9th lord sits in a kendra (the 1st, 4th, 7th or 10th house from the lagna) in its own sign or its sign of exaltation. Our engine marks it very strong when the 9th lord is exalted. Some texts add a condition on the lagna lord; we use the core rule.
What Lakshmi Yoga is said to give
The 9th house is bhagya, fortune and merit carried from past lives, and is the most auspicious house in the chart. When its lord is strong and sits in a pillar of the chart, fortune becomes visible: wealth, a respected name, and the support of elders and teachers. The yoga is named after Lakshmi, the goddess of prosperity.
How common is Lakshmi Yoga?
It needs two things at once: a placement in one of four houses, and a sign the planet owns or is exalted in. In our test set of 291 computer-generated charts, spread across all twelve lagnas and many birth years, the engine found Lakshmi Yoga in 21 charts, 7.2%.
What strengthens or weakens it
Combustion (the 9th lord within a few degrees of the Sun) or strong affliction from malefics reduces it. It is felt most in the dasha of the 9th lord.
