Akhanda Samrajya Yoga: Formation, Effects and Timing

How does Akhanda Samrajya Yoga form?

1. The lagna (ascendant) is a fixed sign.
2. Jupiter is the lord of the 2nd, 5th or 11th house.
3. One of the lords of the 2nd, 9th or 11th house is placed in a kendra — the 1st, 4th, 7th or 10th — counted from the Moon.

The 2nd and 11th are houses of wealth and gains, the 5th of merit and intelligence, the 9th of fortune; their lords joined to the strength of the kendras from the Moon give the yoga its character of wealth that stays and authority that is not contested.

Which ascendants can have it?

For movable and dual ascendants Jupiter does not rule the 2nd, 5th or 11th, so the yoga in this form cannot occur — one reason it is rare.

What are its effects?

Classically: lasting wealth, standing that others accept, and authority over people or resources in one's own field — a business, an institution, a profession or public life. "Empire" is a measure of steadiness rather than a promise of a throne; the scale depends on the whole chart.

When does it give results?

In the mahadasha and antardasha of Jupiter and of the lord placed in the kendra from the Moon, most clearly when both are strong in the birth chart and the Navamsa. Find your running dasha with the free mahadasha calculator, and check which yogas your chart holds with the yoga finder.

What weakens it?

Debilitation, combustion or heavy affliction of Jupiter or of the qualifying lord, in the birth chart or the Navamsa. A weakened yoga is still present, but tends to show as capacity only partly realised. Remedies, where a chart calls for them, are simple — Jupiter's mantra on Thursdays, charity, and steady conduct — and are suggested only after the full chart is read.
