NAVAPANCHAM YOGA

Nava-pancham Yoga (9-5 relationship) is regarded as the best yoga in a horoscope.

Technically, It means that 1 planet is 120 degrees away from the other one. This
is exact degree Nava-pancham yog. In simple terms, it means that both the plane
ts are in the signs of the same element. i.e. Mesh Leo Sagittarius (Any two!) or
Vrishabh, Kanya, Makar or Mithun or Tula, Kumbh or Kirk, Vrishchik, Meen.
Vedic(?) or better yet Indian Astrology (Sanskrit Granth) give importance to signs
and call it nava-pancham despite without exact degrees as long as they are in t
he signs of the same element. Western astrologer adopt supposedly more scientifi
c (?) J way to treat only close degrees nava-pancham as the real ones even with
the sign change (element change!). Both are a bit flawed in the approach. In my
opinion, change of the element completely negates the Nava-pancham yoga. Say Mes
h rashi 3rd degree and Kanya rashi 1st degree cannot be a nava-pancham yoga as w
estern folks would like to call it (They have wrong signs without Ayanash makes
it more worse!:) J J Also, Mesh rashi 1st degree and last degree of Singh rashi
are also nava-pancham as both FIRE signs but of lesser significance.
The effects/characteristics of the Nava-pancham yoga are as follows:
1. Like all yoga it is more effective when it is in exact degrees. I have Moon i
n 27th degree and Sun in the 28th degree in Water Signs
This is more effective.
2. More closer/matching these nava-pancham yoga degrees to lagna degree or Chand
ra degree the better for this yoga. That means they are nava-pancham at bhavaramb
h-degrees .
3. If not close degrees, they should have the same nakshatra swami. There are sa
me nakshatra-swami sequence in the Nava-pancham rashi:
a. i.e. Mesh rashi Nakshatra Swami are Ketu, Shukra and Surya and Singh rashi an
d Sagittarius has the same sequence and same degrees to each nakshatra-swami in
that rashi.
b. So, Surya in Mesh rashi Ashwini (Ketu) nakshatra and Mangal in Singh rashi Ma
gha Nakshatra (Ketu) are more effective than say Mangal in Uttara Nakshatra in S
ingh (last owned by Surya). In this case Nakshatra-swami is the same and there i
s more harmony to the results/past karma and this life Karma s pull.
4. It shows good harmony in the Governance (Karakatva) of the planets and the ho
uses they own and also the houses they occupy in the horoscope.
5. This life actions or past Karma of these planets in nava-pancham yoga support
s the actions of the other planet.
6. The same element shows the same attitude (philosophy, method of inward/outward
reaction of the planet to karma stimuli. (Sounds impressive huh? Simpler words
Re
-actions to incidents around )
7. My 2 cents: One planet is in tactical success house of the other (5th) and th
e other one is in a strategic success (9th) house of the other. The 9th planet d
ecides the WHAT part and the 5th planets decide the HOW part most of the times.
8. The same nakshatra-swami also shows harmony in their methods as usually the R
ashi shows what and Nakshatra is How.

a. Singh shows ego

Magha Nakshatra shows with more discipline (Ugra / Kathor) an
d theatrics and Poorva shows with lesser theatrics (Happy like dancing around Sim
ba ) but BOTH show Ego and Self esteem and being a great ABHIMANi host.
9. The 9th house is the LUCK or in other words good deeds in the past life. So t
his nava-pancham does indicate good past life karma and luck in this life.
10. The TRIKON of these Nava pancham yoga: Dharma (Duties), Artha(Money/Business),
Kaam(art, peripheral stuff, Uchcha Abhiruchi Life), Mokasha (Spiritual) shows t
he Karya-Kshetra
the sphere of influence of these planets.
a. Dhirubhai Ambani has Guru in 10th (Production/career, business) and Shani in
2nd (investments, share market) house. Shani in own rashi of Makar! i.e. their s
phere in Artha i.e. Economic zone.
b. Dravid has Mangal has Moon in Meen and Mangal in Vrishchik rashi I am sure in
Dharma Trikon that s why personal pleasure is set aside and sense of duty prevails
The Wall! J J
c. Viv Richards must have Mangal in Kam trikon Mostly the 3rd house!? Or 11th? I
guess mostly Dhanu lagna but Singh cannot be ruled out.
d. Gautam Gambhir is Mesh rashi Singh Mangal; Dhoni is Kanya rashi, Vrushabh Man
gal etc both in Dharma Trikon
Tremendous Sense of Duty!!
11. You can see the best results of these planets in the Mahadasha and Antardash
a of each other! Or even Antardasha and Bhukti of each other in any other planet s
mahadasha.
12. You can see great/expanded/feel good results of these planets when GOCHAR (c
urrent) Guru is in the same element rashi (Currently Guru in Mesh aspects planet
s in Fire signs/houses of your horoscope!)
13. When the bigger & slower moving planet is 9th to faster moving (smaller) pla
net then the yoga gives more strategic/broad attitude to the person. Say Surya i
n Dhanu and Chandra in Mesh (planning, chalking the plan, diplomatic)
14. When the bigger/slower planet is 5th to smaller/faster planet, it shows tact
ical approach and action oriented approach EXECUTION ability. Flamboyance over d
iplomacy Hon. Ram Jethmalani sahab could have Shani the lawful in the 5th house
and not 9th house! J J Just a guess!!! I have no idea of his b-date, time or pla
ce! J
15. Would you say that the movie actors might have Shukra in Kaam-trikon and Fil
m Directors would have it in Dharma-Trikon and Producers in the Arth (Economic)
Trikon!? J J Isn t it very logical?
16. I have 14 nava-pancham yoga in my horoscope: Chandra-Neptune-Rahu with Surya
-Budh (6 nava-pancham there!) Guru-Shukra with Shani-Mangal (4 there); Guru-Shuk
ra with Harshal (2) and Shani-Mangal with Harshal (2)
Total of 14
Out of those 6
are in Dharma Trikon and 8 are in Moksha Trikon. This example is to just show t
hat ALL folks on that day had these yogas and just nava-pancham does not guarant
ee great success to a person but shows some harmony in the personality etc! J
17. Guru and Shani are two MOST Yog-karak planets and their presence in the same
TRIKON i.e. Guru and Shani s Nava-pancham yoga has VERY LONG TERM and specific ka
rmic indications. They do not become nava-pancham very often! J
18. TRIKON YOGA is an extended example of Nava-Pancham Yoga
when there are plane
ts in each (3) rashi of the same element, it becomes a Trikon yoga which has fur

ther better results. One trikon means 3 Nava-Pancham yoga!

19. There is one more reason may be Nava-Pancham yoga is the best as in a horosc
ope Shani cannot aspect more than 1 planet of the Nava-pancham or the Trikon-yog
a. It can aspect only 1 of these planets with its 7, 3, 10 drushti. The same way
, Mangal cannot aspect more than 1 planet of this yoga. Rather, even Gochar (cur
rent) Shani and Mangal cannot aspect/impact both the horoscope planets at the sa
me time! (Maybe, Shani and Mangal s drushti are given as 3, 10 and 4, 8 so as to n
ot affect nava-pancham plannets and affect only yogas which create friction/ener
gy like Kendra yoga (4-10) and labh-yoga (3-11)!) J J
