About Raj Yoga
Raj Yoga, meaning 'Royal Combination,' is considered one of the most auspicious planetary configurations in Vedic astrology. This yoga forms when the lords of angular houses (Kendra - 1st, 4th, 7th, 10th) and triangular houses (Trikona - 1st, 5th, 9th) come together through conjunction or mutual aspect. The native blessed with Raj Yoga rises to positions of authority, gains recognition, and achieves success proportional to the strength of the participating planets. The 1st house lord participating in both Kendra and Trikona makes it especially powerful.
How Raj Yoga Forms
Raj Yoga forms when lords of Kendra houses (1, 4, 7, 10) and Trikona houses (1, 5, 9) are conjunct or in mutual aspect. The yoga becomes stronger when formed in Kendra or Trikona houses themselves, and when the participating planets are in their own or exalted signs.
