Chandra Mangala Yoga

Definition.-lf Mars conjoins thc Moon this

yoga is formed.
Re sults.-Earnings through u nscrup ulous means'
a seller of women, treating mother harshly and doing
mischief to her and other relatives.
Remarks.---The results given above are those
ascribed by ancient writers. With due respect to the
ancient masters in the scienceI have to observethat
Chandra Mangala Yoga acts as a powerful factor in
cstablishingone's financial worth. The earningswill
generallybe through such occupationsas toddy con-
tract, beer shop, bar, etc. One has to cater to the
baserneedsof men, but when the Moon and Mars
are well disposed, the earnings will be through
other approved means. The yoga is said to arise by
the associationof Mars and the Moon but I feel that
the yoga will also be formed if the Moon and Mars
are in mutual aspect. Take the Moon in Taurus and
Mars in Scorpio. Take the Moon in Cancer and
Mars in Capricorn. Theseare excellent positions'
The combination can be productive of good if it
occurs in the 2nd, 9th, lOth or llth house.

In the above chart Chandra Mangala Yoga has
taken place in Scorpio the 9th from Lagna' Mars is
in his own houseand the Moon ls in debilitation'
Becausethe Moon is waxing and lvlars occupies his
own sign, this yoga has receivedsome vitality' The
Dasa of Mars will be the best.
When Chandra Mangala Yoga occurs in un-
favourable houses, the native will have debased
character. He may even sell his wife, his sister, etc''
and make money out of unholy transactions'

7. Adhi Yoga

Definition.-lf beneficsare situatedin the 6th'

7th and 8th from the Moon, the combination goes
under the name of Adhi Yoga.

.Resn&s.-The person will be polite and trust-

worthy, will have an enjoyable and happy life,
surrounded [r luxuries and afruence, will inflict
defeatson his enemies,will be healthy and will live
long.
Remarks.-Adhi Yoga is one of the most impor-
tant combinations. Astrological authorities classify
this Adhi Yoga as Papadhi yogaand Shubhadhiyogi.
But Varahamihira and that sectionof astrologersdo
not seemto favour such a classification.Bhattotpala,
the erudite commentator of the writings of Varaha-
mihira suggests the existence of papadhi yoga.
Varahamihira distinctly observesSounyehi-implying
cle4rly only the benefics,vz., Mercury, Jupiter and
Venus. All thesebeneficsmay be in the 6th, 7th or
8th or in two housesor all of them may be in any
one of thesehouses. If there is one planet in full
strength in any one of thesesigns, that person be-
comesa leader. If there are twonhe will be a minister
and if there are three, he will occupy an eminent
station in life, If all the rhree benefics, devoid of
strength, are in the three signsabove mentioned,
then also Adhi Yoga will be presentbut rhe influence
it exertswould indeed be feeble. Adhi yoga may be
consideredas a Raja Yoga or almost its equivalent.
The AdhiYoga is fairly powerful in Chart No.
I l, becauseJupiter is exaltedin the 7th and Mercury
is in the 8th from the Moon. Jupiter's Dasa was an
excellentone as it enabledhim to attain a good posi-
tion in life. Note also the presenceof Gajakesari as
Jupiter is exalted in a kendra from the Moon.
Jupiter has given rise to two yogas.
