Spiritual Yogas in Vedic Astrology
Let’s understand what spirituality is.
Spirituality is not easy to define and many people have different understandings of the same. It is the consciousness/awareness of who we really are?
As per me spirituality is seeking a higher purpose, meaning in life (who we are? Why we are born? What will happen after life, developing a higher level of consciousness) and beyond life.
For spirituality analysis in chart we have to analyze the spiritual yogas in vedic astrology –
We have to analyse the below mentioned combinations :-
Divisional Charts
Rasi Chart: D-1
Navamsha Chart: D-9- Shows inner progress in life.
Vimshamsa Chart: D-20 – As per sage Prashar Vishamsa chart is important to analyze the spiritual life of the native. D-20 Lagna/Lagna lord plays important role to analyse the chart.
• Ascendant/ Ascendant Lord of D-1 are very important to analyze for all life happenings.
• Fifth and Ninth House of D-1: 5th and 9th house plays an important role in spirituality. Fifth house represents poorva janam karma and intelligence. Ninth house represents higher learning.
• Twelfth House: The twelfth house is the house of moksha also
Combinations for Spiritual inclinations are:
• Afflicted fourth house, as it disturbs the domestic life of the person.
• Connection between houses 1, 5, 9 & 4, 8, 12 houses and lords shows spiritual inclinations.
• Ketu in the 12th house of the horoscope.
• Saturn must be strong and well placed.
• Combination of Moon and Saturn helps in spirituality.
• Mars in moon’s house and moon in mars’s house will lead to spiritual life. The aspect of Saturn on moon is also important.
• Also the house of Meena, Vrischika and Kataka are considered important for spiritual life.
• Combination of 4 or more planets in one single house is an important rule to predict about a person taking spirituality. This holds true to Gautam Buddha.
• Venus in Leo or Virgo
• The eighth house means mysterious forces/Occult
• Combination of Saturn, Venus and Ketu indicates separation from the external world
Spiritual Yogas in Vedic astrology:
Sanyas Yoga : Four or more planets in one house in the chart creates yoga for Sanyas/Spirituality. The planets should not be combust, and one of the planet must have connection with tenth house/lord for fame. If the tenth house is in a Rajyoga alongwith this combination then the person becomes famous sanyasi.
If malefic is in the seventh house and there is a planet in the ninth house then also sanyas yoga/Spiritual yoga takes place. For eg Mother Teresa.
Muni yoga:
Muni yoga forms when ascendant of the navamsa chart and ascendant lord of the birth chart are together in the birth chart. This is the yoga for Munis.
Kemdrum yoga: A supporting yoga for spirituality if the combination for spirituality is present. It occurs when there are no planets in 12th or 2nd from the moon or conjunct the moon. Rahu & Ketu should not be considered in this yoga.
Moksha yoga:
Moksha yoaga forms when Sun, Moon and ascendant lord along with Ketu are in First, Eighth, Twelfth house.
