Pushkala yoga forms when the lord of the sign occupied by the Moon is together with the lagna lord, the two are in a kendra or in a close friend’s sign, they aspect the lagna, and a strong planet occupies the lagna. It is not Jupiter and Venus in one nakshatra. Texts describe a wealthy, famous, well-spoken person honoured by those in power.
How the yoga forms
- Find the Moon’s dispositor — the lord of the sign the Moon is in.
- It is conjoined with the lagna lord.
- The pair is in a kendra or in a close friend’s sign, and aspects the lagna.
- The lagna is occupied by a strong planet.
If the Moon’s dispositor is itself the lagna lord, the first two conditions merge.
What makes it strong
- The planet in the lagna should be in its own, exaltation or friend’s sign.
- A bright Moon and uncombust lords strengthen the yoga.
- Results show in the dashas of the lagna lord, the Moon’s dispositor or the planet in the lagna.
Typical results
Classical descriptions: wealth, fame, sweet and persuasive speech, honour from rulers, fine clothes and ornaments, and a respected position. The link between the Moon’s lord and the lagna lord ties the mind to the self, giving confidence and a pleasant public presence.
