Example 4 :- D.W. Eisenhover ;
| Lagna | Aries | Rahu | (4) |
| | | Cancer | |
| Jupiter | Saturn | ||
| Mars (10) | Venus Ketu | Sun Moon | Mercury (7) |
He has weak Gaja Kesari yoga. It did not contribute to his rise to the high position of President. Other powerful Raja-yogas helped his rise. This is an example of totally useless G.K.yoga.
Moon: Moon is new Moon and weak and malefic.
| Moon is lord of 5th house | Beneifc | 1 unit |
| Moon is in 8th house in friend house | Malefic | -1 unit |
| Moon is conjunct with malefic debilitated Sun | Malefic | -1 unit |
| Moon is aspected by Saturn (3rd drushti) | Malefic | -1 unit |
Jupiter :-
| Jupiter is in laabha (gains) debilitated (removed; Neecha-bhanga raja-yoga) | Benefic | 1 unit |
| Jupiter is lord of lagna (benefic) house and 10th house (Sri Narayana sthana) | benefic | 1 unit |
| Jupiter is conjunct with none | Nil | 0 unit |
| Jupiter has no aspect (drushti) | Nil | 0 unit |
In Rasi chart, Jupiter in 10th house (profession) from Moon, From lagna exalted Mercury (in his own house) causing Bhadra yoga in Kendra (7th house). Venus in 9th house, Mars in 10th house were highly beneficial to him. In Nava Amsa chart Jupiter is in 2nd house (Dhana sthana) from lagna; Jupiter is in 4th house (Sri Narayana sthana) from Moon.
In Nov-1945 he become General, Army Chief of Staff; In Mercury period Sani sub-period he was Supreme Allied Commander of Allied forces from June.1952. Later he became the President of USA (Jan-1953 to Dec-1961) for two terms. So other powerful Raja-yogas made him the leader of the army and later the supreme-leader of U.S.A.
Note:- Any Raja-yoga (beneficial yoga), like the conjunction of lords of 9th and 10thhouses, or
Gaja-Kesari yoga can be enjoyed by the person, only when any one of these yoga-karaka dasas (beneficial periods) occurs in the prime of his / her life (say between 12 & 70 years), the person can enjoy the raja-yoga fully. If the yoga-karaka dasa (period) occurs in childhood (before 12 years) or in old age (after 70 years), the person can not enjoy fully the benefits of raja-yoga. Also the birth lagna and its lord must be strong. Also the planets involved in yoga must be well-disposed, strong and devoid of malefic effects like dagdha (combusted), neecha (debilitated) or in malefic houses like 3,6,8, and / or 12; they should not be conjunct with or aspected (seen / drushti) by malefic planets. Then only the Raja-yoga can give beneficial results. Otherwise, the yoga is present but is spoiled and wasted (ex: 4 above). I noticed in my experience of 48 years as an astrology-practitioner, that in 98% of the horoscopes, some four to nine different types of Raja-yogas are present; they are weak or ruined by other malefic effects (mentioned above). Having a dozen Raja yogas in the horoscope, which are weak and ineffective are totally useless. Having 2 or 3 Raja yogas in the horoscope, powerful and effective in the prime age of life 12 to 70 years is the most beneficial. The person can enjoy the benefits fully.
