Yogas in Vedic Astrology – Part 2

5. Three yogas, viz, Sunapha, Anapha and Durudhara are formed when the planets occupy the 2nd and 12th houses reckoned from the Moon. There will be Kemadruma yoga if the above three Yogas are absent. Some learneds are of the opinion that there will be Kemadruma Yoga if (1) When a Kendra or the Moon is associated with a planet (2) When there is a planet in a Kendra from the Moon. Notes — According to Saravali Kemadruma Yoga is formed if at least one of the said three yogas (viz., Sunapha, Anapha and Durudhara) is not present or if the Moon’s angles (Kendras) are devoid of angles or if she is unaspected by all the planets. Such yoga causes extreme difficulties. According to Hora Sara (an ancient treatise on Astrology by Prithuyasas) the Anapha, Sunapha and Durudhara Yogas will not put to effect if the Moon’s or Lagna’s angles are not occupied. In such case, the Yoga arising is called Kemadruma which makes even a king beg. To explain this further it may be said that for obtaining Kemadruma, the Moon should not have a planet on either side or with it. The Sun’s presence and of course that of nodes, will not nullify the Kemadruma Yoga. But if there is a planet in any of the Moon angles or from the angles of Lagna, or if the Moon herself angular to the Lagna, the Kemadruma Yoga does not exist.
