24. Budha-Aditya Yoga = बुध आदित्या योग

Budha-yuti-Surya

बुध budha Budha yuti सूर्य sūrya Surya

VOCABULARY

√ बुध् budh = know, wake, awaken

• बुध budha = Budha, Mercury

√ दा dā = divide, share

• आदि = indivisible, no limits
• आदित्या ādityā = coming from Aditi, son of Aditi = Sūrya or Savitṛ, Earth's Sun

QUOTATION from

B.V. Raman. 300 Important Combinations. (10th ed, 1991) p 54, #24

[begin quote] Definition.

• If Mercury combines with the Sun,

the combination goes under the name of Budha-Aditya Yoga.

Results.

• Highly intelligent,
• skillful in all works,
• good reputation,
• personal respect
• and surrounded by all comforts and happiness.

Remarks

Generally, any planet in association with the Sun becomes combust or A-stha and loses its power to do good perhaps Mercury is an exception.

It should not be taken for granted that irrespective of the distance between the Sun and Mercury, Budha-Aditya Yoga would be present.

On the contrary, Mercury should not be within 10 degrees of the Sun to give rise to Budha-Aditya Yoga. This combination is not, of course, rare.

• when the birth is during daytime the Sun, the Moon and the Lagna should be in odd signs.

In the case of women,

Results.

A male born under this Yoga

• will have good character,
• will be a source of pleasure to others,
• will be liberal,
• generous,
• famous,
• ruler or an equal to him
• and lives to a good old age.

A female born in this combination

Remarks.

Maha-bhagya means fortune. Obviously, one born in this combination will be really fortunate.

The Lagna, the Sun and the Moon form the tripod of life ruling as they do the body, the soul and the mind respectively and when these three elements are disposed in odd or masculine signs, the person will be an ideal one. "

VOCABULARY

√ लक्ष् lakṣ = look, appear, seem, be recognized, be marked

• लक्ष्मी lakṣmī = lucky, visibly marked, showing signs, having understanding, precious token (coin), beauty, wealth, fortune

QUOTATION from

B.V. Raman. 300 Important Combinations. (10th ed, 1991) p 58, #27

[begin quote] Definition.

• If the Lord of Lagna is powerful
• and the lord of the 9th occupies own or exaltation sign identical with a Kendra or Thrikona,

Lakshmi Yoga is caused.

Results.

The person will be

• wealthy,
• noble,
• learned,
• man of high integrity and reputation,
• handsome appearance,
• good ruler,
• and enjoying all the pleasures and comforts of life.

Remarks.

Different definitions are given for Lakshmi Yoga. I mention a few versions for the readers' information. Lakshmi Yoga is said to arise

(a) by the mutual association of lords of Lagna and the 9th

(b) by the lord of the 9th occupying Kendra, thrikona, or exaltation and the Lord of Lagna being disposed powerfully and

(c) by the lord of the 9th and Venus being posited in own or exaltation places which should be Kendras or Trikonas.

Obviously, Lakshmi Yoga presumes the strength of Lord of Lagna, Venus, and the lord of the 9th.

Lakshmi has predominantly to do with wealth and one born in this combination will be wealthy, the degree of wealth varying with regard to the degree of strength or weak ness of the planets causing the Yoga.

The definition given in para (c) supra will produce the most powerful type of Lakshmi Yoga indicating immense wealth

while the mutual association of or aspect between the lords of Lagna and the 9th in houses other than 3, 6 and 8

would also result in an ordinary type of Lakshmi Yoga which might be fortified by the presence of other Dhana Yogas"

[end quote 300-BVR]

BVR says type (a) = produced via mutual association of lords of Lagna and the 9th

mutual-association could occur via

• yuti = conjunction
• parivartamsha-yoga
• mutual-drishti = reciprocal-drishti

EXAMPLES

28. Gauri Yoga

 गौरी योग

VOCABULARY

√

• गौरी  gaurī = white, yellowish, reddish, shining, brilliant, clean, beautiful
• = name for Guru, name for Chandra, name for Pṛthvī Mātā [Earth]

QUOTATION from

B.V. Raman. 300 Important Combinations. (10th ed, 1991) p 60, #28

[begin quote] Definition.

• The lord of the Navamsa occupied by the lord of the 10th should join the 10th in exaltation
• and combined with the Lord of Lagna .

Remarks.

• The person belongs to a respectable family,
• owns several lands,
• charitable,
• performs religious rites,
• his sons will be of good character
• and he will be praised by all.

Remarks.

Here again two definitions are to be found. Apart from what is given above, another school of Astrologers hold that Gauri Yoga is produced

if the lord of the 9th and the Moon be posited in their own or exaltation signs identical with a trine or quadrant.

The view held by certain orthodox Pandits that Gauri Yoga will manifest only between the ages of 36 and 48, does not seem to be reasonable inasmuch as there is no special injunction warranting such a belief.

We shall stick to the definition we have first propounded and deem that in order to cause Gauri Yoga, the lord of the Navamsa occupied by the 10th lord be in the 10th exalted.

Such a definition does not exclude the possibility of some other planet occupying the 10th house."

QUOTATION from

B.V. Raman. 300 Important Combinations. (10th ed, 1991) p 63, #30

[begin quote] Definition.

• If the Ascendant lord is exalted
• and the 4th and 10th lords have interchanged houses,

Chapa Yoga is caused.

Results.

• The person will grace a King's Council,
• be wealthy
• and full of strength
• and an Exchequer or a Comptroller of treasury.

Remarks.

My observations extending over nearly twenty years lead me to conclude that Chapa Yoga makes one control the wealth of others rather than make him rich.

Horoscopes of bank cashiers, financial secretaries and exchequers could be advantageously studied. "
