\"red<\/a>As astrologers, we routinely scan astrological charts looking for yogas. If we\u00e2\u0080\u0099re observant, we\u00e2\u0080\u0099ll notice that some yogas turn up frequently, while others turn up only rarely. And if we\u00e2\u0080\u0099re mathematically-inclined, some of us might ask ourselves, what are the odds of seeing this or that yoga? But if you\u00e2\u0080\u0099re not inclined to engage in that kind of analysis, then sit back and relax, because I\u00e2\u0080\u0099ve done the heavy lifting for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pancha Maha Purusha Yoga<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

There are lots of yogas we could look at, but to whet your appetite for this, we\u00e2\u0080\u0099ll start with the simplest, which involves only one planet. The Pancha Maha Purusha Yoga<\/em> is formed when one of the true planets occupies:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. the sign of its ownership or exaltation, and<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. a kendra<\/em>.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The true planets are Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn. Each planet rules two signs, and each planet has one sign in which it is exalted. That means there are three signs where each of these planets can qualify for a Pancha Maha Purusha Yoga<\/em>, except<\/em> for Mercury, which has only two<\/em> signs to make the grade, since Virgo is the sign of both its ownership and its exaltation.<\/span><\/p>\n
