Parvata Yoga – Its Meaning & Role in Vedic Astrology


Yogas are of utmost importance in Vedic astrology. But, one needs a lot of expertise and skill to interpret the relative strength of them and determine how effective they really are in astrological predictions.

Yogas are formed when certain specific planetary combinations occur in a horoscope. These yogas may be benefic or malefic depending upon their placement in the chart. There are hundreds of yogas which are considered for the purpose of analysing a horoscope.

In this article, Parvata Yoga of Hindu Astrology is explained which is benefic in nature and said to occur under the following circumstances:

·      When all the natural benefics like Jupiter, Venus and Mercury are involved to form this Yoga as under:

1)    Firstly, when benefic planets occupy the kendras or quadrant
(1st, 4th, 7th and 10th houses) and 6th and 8th houses are vacant.

OR

2)  Secondly, when benefic planets occupy the kendras and 6th and 8th houses are occupied by benefic planets.         

·     According to some, Parvata Yoga is also caused if the lords of Lagna and 12th are in mutual kendras, except in case of Kumbha Lagna since lord of Lagna and 12th happen to be Saturn.

Results:  The native earns and accumulates lot of wealth and enjoys all the pleasures and
comforts of life. The native is learned, noble, a good orator and a man of high reputation. He will be head of a town or village also. 

One thing that the readers of this blog should keep in mind is that the above-mentioned results of this yoga are general in nature. It is very important to take into consideration the strength of the house and its lord, the exaltations and debilitations of the house-lords, conjunctions, planets in that particular house and various aspects over it, before arriving at any conclusion.
