Vedic Yogas Checker
Checks your real computed chart for classical Vedic yogas — Panch Mahapurusha, Gajakesari, Raj Yoga, Neecha Bhanga, and more — genuinely detected from your own planetary placements, with the exact combination of planets and houses behind each hit shown rather than a generic yes/no.
Because each yoga has its own specific classical definition — particular planets in particular houses or signs, sometimes in particular relation to each other — checking your real chart against all of them by hand is slow and error-prone; this tool runs every check against your actual computed placements at once.
Some yogas here, like the five Panch Mahapurusha Yogas, require a specific planet to be both strong (in its own or exaltation sign) and angular (in a kendra house) at once — a combination easy to miss without checking sign and house together for every planet, which is exactly what this tool automates.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a yoga in Vedic astrology?
A specific, named combination of planetary placements (by sign, house, or relationship to another planet) that classical texts treat as carrying its own distinct significance beyond what any single placement means alone.
What are the Panch Mahapurusha Yogas?
Five yogas — Ruchaka, Bhadra, Hamsa, Malavya, and Sasa — each formed when Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, or Saturn respectively sits in its own or exaltation sign while also angular (in a kendra: house 1, 4, 7, or 10).
What is Gajakesari Yoga?
Formed when Jupiter sits in a kendra (1st, 4th, 7th, or 10th house) counted from the Moon — one of the most widely cited yogas in classical texts.
What is Neecha Bhanga Raj Yoga?
A cancellation of planetary debilitation — when a debilitated planet's affliction is classically considered offset (for example, its dispositor is angular, or the debilitation sign's own lord is exalted), turning a weak placement into a notable one.
Does this check every yoga in classical texts?
No — this tool checks a curated set of well-defined, unambiguous yogas rather than attempting the full classical corpus, which contains hundreds of yogas with varying and sometimes conflicting textual definitions.
