RAJA YOGAS IN VEDIC ASTROLOGY.
Raja-lakshana Yoga Part--91 (Apr—18--2009) Rule :-- If benefics : Jupiter, Venus, Mercury and waxing (strong) Moon occupy the birth lagna or they kendras (quadrants; 1 or 4 or 7 or 10th houses) {with no malefic association or malefic aspects}, Raja-lakshna yoga is formed. Benefits : The person possesses very attractive appearance. He / she is bestowed with all the good qualities of a high and noble person. Example : 1:-- The horoscope of King Dharmaraja had strong Raja-lakshana yoga. Moon was full and was in Kendra (4th house); Jupiter was in 7th house (Kendra); Venus was in his own house with Mercury in 10th house (Kendra). He was handsome and had all the noble qualities of a great and noble person.

Moon was new-moon; but Jupiter, Venus, Moon and Mercury were in birth lagna. He had Raja-lakshana yoga, the qualities of a king and he was very handsome and had very attractive appearance. Example : 3 :-- This horoscope has Raja-lakshana yoga . Jupiter is in Kendra (10th house); Venus and Mercury are in 7th house (Kendra); Moon is exalted and in Kendra (4th house). But Moon is conjunct with malefic Saturn. Saturn aspects (10th drushti) the lagna; he is also the kagna-lord. So the predominance of Saturn’s malefic influence on birth-lagna and the Moon deprived the person of some of the benefits. She had Venus and Mercury in 7th house. So she had jaratva-dosha (adultery). Her appearance was ordinary.

Example : 4:-- - In this chart, Mercury is exalted in 4th house (Kendra); Jupiter is in 4th house. Venus is in own h0use (kona; Sri Maha Lakshmi sthana). Strong (12 kalau) waxing Moon is in 10th house (Kendra). He is very handsome. He has good and noble qualties. But the benefits of Raja Lakshana yoga are diminished (by about 35%) due to conjunction of malefics Mars and Ketu with Mercury and Jupiter; conjunction of malefics Saturn and Rahu with Moon. So he has raja-lakshna qualities but has no chance to become a ruler.
