\"\"As Vedic astrologers, we routinely scan a chart to note the presence of yogas, ie, the planetary combinations that portend one effect or another for the person under consideration. These anticipated results derive, typically, from the houses the participant planets own, the signs and houses they occupy and, sometimes, the basic nature of the planets themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even as we take note of those yogas present in a chart, and form an opinion regarding the qualitative outcomes for the owner, we typically don\u00e2\u0080\u0099t have a way to assess the overall strength of the chart, except to note that it has several or few yogas.<\/span><\/p>\n

In other words, we\u00e2\u0080\u0099re unable to value the presence or absence of yogas in any quantitative way. Therefore, the average practitioner has few tools by which to make a distinction between Chart A with a multitude of common yogas, versus Chart B with a mere handful of rare yogas.<\/span><\/p>\n

And at this point, most astrologers must pause and ask themselves, Do I know which yogas are relatively common, versus those which are relatively rare?<\/em> If the answer is \u00e2\u0080\u009cno\u00e2\u0080\u009d then we must admit that we\u00e2\u0080\u0099re limited in our ability to make subtle distinctions between charts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Happily, help is at hand. Over a series of six articles, I\u00e2\u0080\u0099ve analysed the definitions, or \u00e2\u0080\u009crules of formation,\u00e2\u0080\u009d for over a dozen well-known astrological combinations, and calculated their chances of occurring in the average chart. With such information, any astrologer can now appreciate whether a chart is merely average in its roster of yogas, or truly extraordinary.<\/span><\/p>\n
