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, RUCHAKA Yoga of Hindu Astrology is explained which is benefic in nature and said to occur under the following circumstances:
· When Mars is in its own sign (Aries or Scorpio) or in exaltation (Capricorn)
AND
· When Mars is in angle or kendra either from Ascendant or from Moon.
· Mars well placed in the chart will yield more strong and auspicious results
Results: Mars represents physical power. Hence, the native having this yoga will possess traits like bravery & physical prowess. He will be successful in defeating his enemies. It has been observed that many of the warriors and sports persons have Ruchaka Yoga in their birth charts. The native will have an attractive body and charitable disposition. He will also be wealthy & long-lived.
But, one thing that the readers of this blog should keep in mind is that the above-mentioned effects of this yoga are general in nature. The planet forming this yoga should not be weak, debilitated, afflicted, or in aspect with any malefic planet. It is also very important to take into consideration the strength of the house and its lord, location of the lord, conjunctions, planets in that particular house and various aspects over it, before arriving at any conclusion.
