Aries

As can be seen from the above list, a yogakaraka planet has lordship of both a Kendra and a Trikona house in 50% of the rising signs while in the other half of the signs there is no one planet able to become a yogakaraka. Of the planets, the Sun, Mercury and Jupiter are likewise unable to become a yogakaraka. As for Rahu and Ketu, if they are in a Kendra, receiving an aspect from, or associate with the lord of a Trikona or Kendra, they will achieve yogakaraka status.
