Jataka Yogavali
Yogas denoting full span of life
The learned author of this work has given the following 26 slokas indicating longevity,
the presence of any one of these ensures full span of life for the native, in
spite of any other malefic yoga or feature operating on the horoscope. These are said
to be based on the opinions of Sages of Kerala.

If the lord of Ascendant is conjunct or aspected by a benefic, whilst the sign

occupied by lord of Ascendant happens to be exaltation, moolatrikona, own
house or friendly house, the native will enjoy long life.

If the lord of Ascendant is strong and is posited in a quadrant whilst both the
lords of Ascendant and 8th are standing on larger number of benefic vargas,
the native will enjoy long life.

Longevity is certain if Rahu or Ketu is standing in Aries, Scorpio or Cancer,

whilst Ketu is standing on larger number of benefic vargas.

If the lord of Ascendant is standing in 5 or 9, conjunct or aspected by a

benefic, the native will enjoy long life.

Malefics in both 3 and 6 from Ascendant, whilst the lord of Asdt is also
standing the 6th, subject to the condition that the malefic in 6th is friendly to
lord of Asdt, the native will enjoy long life.

Powerful Sun in 11th, Jupiter in 6, 8 or 12 whilst Saturn is posited in a

Jupitarian-sign indicates long life.

Birth in day time, Jupiter in own house, whilst both Sun and lord of
Ascendant are standing conjointly in quadrants, the native will enjoy long
life, subject to the condition that Rahu/Ketu are not connected with Sun or
lord of Asdt.

Long life is indicated if Jupiter in the horoscope has a benefic aspect whilst
Saturn is in a trine and waxing Moon is posited in signs other than 6, 8 or
12.

Jupiter in quadrants OR Jupiter and Moon in mutual quadrants and one of

them has a benefic aspect, the native will enjoy long life.

For Taurus Ascendant, (a) Saturn on own classifications (sign, navamsa

etc) OR (b) Jupiter in quadrant from Moon/Ascendant indicates longevity.

Mercury in quadrants other than 4th, without conjunction or aspect of a

benefic, indicates long life.

Lord of 5 or 9 in own vargas standing in the 3rd in company of a benefic also

denotes longevity.

(a) Moon in Asdt with benefic aspect whilst Sun is in 3 or 11 OR (b) Moon
in Cancer Ascendant whilst Sun is posited in 11th indicates long life.

Mars in Capricorn on the 28th degree, which happens to be a trine in

conjunction of a lord of quadrant/trine, indicates long life.

(a) Powerful Jupiter in Ascendant or a tine OR (b) Jupiter in 8th without

conjunction of Ketu or Gulika, denotes long life.

(a) Powerful Rahu in Ascendant (b) Rahu in 3, 6, or 11 (c) Ketu in

Cancer indicate long life.

Rahu in Aries/Scorpio Ascendants with benefic aspect OR power Rahu in

Gemini/Virgo Ascendants in company of Sun, indicates long life.

Rahu standing on constellations owned by Mercury or on the 5th degree of

Cancer, Sagittarius or Pisces indicates long life.

Rahu in quadrants in company of Venus or alone in Libra/Pisces

Ascendants or conjunct/aspected by benefic or standing in the navamsa of
Capricorn/Cancer/Libra indicate long life.

Benefic aspect on lord of Ascendant whilst Venus is with Full Moon

One or more of the quadrants are occupied by benefics

Lord of Ascendant with Rahu

Powerful Moon is enjoying the stay of a strong benefic in his quadrant and if
there is also Sunapha & Anapha Yogas.

Power Venus and Moon conjointly stand in quadrant/trine whilst Rahu is

conjunct with the dispositor of Moon/Venus or conjunct with the significator
of the house occupied by Moon/Venus - long life is indicated.

A benefic in company of Full Moon always contributes towards longevity; with

benefics in quadrants of such Moon, there will be still greater longevity.

If Rahu is involved in Padma Yoga or Ankusha Yoga or standing on large

number of benefic vargas whilst lords of Ascendant, 3rd & 8th are also
standing on larger number of benefic vargas, such a native will live long.

Rahu and the 3 benefics standing on benefic vargas combined with fixed
signs also indicates longevity.

Planets, particularly benefics in quadrants and fixed signs contribute to

greater longevity. Sages of Kerala say so in the chapter Jeevaka Adhyaya.

Malefic Yogas operating on a horoscope go to reduce longevity. Powerful Rahu

increases longevity.
