One powerful raja yoga is far better than ten weak raja yogas

Reply By Shree PVR Narasimha Rao

Narasimha gAru,
I had checked the yOgas in JH for D-10 of Bill Gates and it doesn't seem to show any strong Raja or any Dhana yOga in the chart. The details I'm using for Bill Gates are 28 Oct 1955, 9:15pm (-8:00 West of GMT), Seattle, Washington. The Rasi chart does indicate many yOgas for wealth though. I'd be glad if you can throw some light on these yOgas.
thanks and rgds

Namaste Prasad garu,

When you look at raja yogas, the number of raja yogas present in a chart is irrelevant. One powerful raja yoga is far better than ten weak raja yogas.

The D-10 of Bill Gates has Aq rising (Pt Sanjay Rath prefers to use Pi lagna in D-10, but I use Aq lagna).

The 4th and 9th lord Venus and 5th lord Mercury are in samasaptaka and they form a powerful raja yoga. This raja yoga occurs on the 5th/11th axis and is very powerful. The aspect in dasamsa between these planets is strong. Based on their advancements within the dasamsa, we can conclude that they aspect each other within 1/5th of the dasamsa (equivalent to 6 deg in the case of rasi).

Moreover, Venus and Mercury are friends and a raja yoga between them is far more powerful than, say, a raja yoga between Mars and Saturn.

A lot of people have raja yogas in their rasi charts and D-10 charts. Not all raja yogas are created equal. When teaching raja yogas, Parasara taught us in BPHS to look at the vaiseshikamsas of planets in raja yoga and judge the yoga. If the two planets in raja yoga are in vaiseshikamsas, then the raja yoga is really powerful. If the two planets are in parijatamsa, one becomes a king. If they are in Uttamamsa, one becomes a powerful king. If they are in Gopuramsa, one becomes an emperor. If they are in Simhasanamsa, one becomes a great emperor like Dharmaraja, Salivahana etc. These are the results given by Parasara and examples are also his.

In the case of Bill Gates, Mercury occupies Uttamamsa (3/10) and Venus occupies Gopuramsa (4/10). That makes the raja yoga far more powerful and more special than ordinary raja yogas.

Interestingly, he ran Venus dasa from 1982-2002.

BTW, you can get vaiseshikamsas (as per dasa varga, shodasa varga, shadvarga and sapta varga) in JHora 7.02. See the "strengths" main tab, "other strengths" bottom tab and the middle window.By default, that window shows Vimsopaka balas based on various varga schemes. Get the pop-up menu and select "vaiseshikamsas".

May Jupiter's light shine on us,
Narasimha
