Negative Yogas in Your Birth Chart and their Remedies

A Yoga means a combination or conjunction of planets. While Positive Yogas impart strength to the horoscope, Negative Yogas
mar and destroy all the postive results bequethed by the positive combinations. Prognostication is difficult normally, as all
horoscopes are a mixture of positive and negative indications and influences and it is difficult to arrive at a resultant conclusion.
As Vedic Astrology is a revealed Science, revealed to the Seers in Yogic flashes of heightened Consciousness, the remedies
prescribed are effective and can ward off negative influences and make man actualise his potential, both material and spiritual,
which are the obverse and the reverse of the same coin of Life !

Amavasi Yoga - This Yoga manifests when the Moon is proximate to the Sun. All planets when they near the Sun, lose their virility
and become combust. The conjunction of Luna and Sol is known as Amavasi or New Moon. ( Its opposite phenomenon is the Luni-
Solar opposition, Pournami or Full Moon ). The native born under Amavasi Yoga becomes weak mentally, as mental strength can
only be bestowed by a powerful ( powerful in digit strength ) Moon ! If Moon comes within 72 degrees of the Sun, she is said to be
devoid of digit strength. All the significations associated with the Moon suffer as Moon comes within 72 degrees of the Sun. The
Moon signifies Mother & Mind ( Mano Matharo Sheetharashmi ). If the Moon is afflicted, there is danger to the native’s mother as
well. ( Of course, the 4 H also should be taken into consideration ). An afflicted Moon can also mean that the native will not rise
high in the political sphere, as Moon is the Queen in the Celestial Government ( Rajanou Ravi Sheethagu ) ! Amavasi means that
the Moon is afflicted by the Sun, who is considered as a natural malefic in VA. Mind will go through depressive Black Holes for the
native. Remedial Astrology has it that such natives should fast on Mondays ( Monday being Dies Luna or Day of Moon ) &
consecrate to the Divine Mother on Mondays ( The Divine Mother being the Deity of the Moon ), wear Moonstone or Coral, wear the
Soma Talisman & perform Soma Homa ( Soma being the name of Luna ), with the Soma Mantra !

Nisva Yoga - This Yoga manifests when the 2 L ( 2nd lord ) is in the adverse 6,8,12 houses. Sva means Wealth and Nisva means
one devoid of wealth, as 2 H is the House of Wealth !. This is a problematic Yoga, as Wealth is something highly fancied by this
world ! ( This world is a Vanity Fair ). Remedies are propitiating the 2 L (Second Lord) with his Mantra, Yantra & Homa, fasting on
his Day ( Sunday - Sun;Monday - Moon; : Tuesday - Mars; Wednesday - Mercury; Thursday - Jove; Friday - Venus & Saturday -
Saturn ).

Nirbhaya Yoga - This Yoga manifests when the 9 L is in the adverse 6,8,12 houses. This is another problematic Yoga as 9 H rules
Fortune. Luck or Fortune is said to be the greatest quality ( Bhagyanvitha Sarva Gunair Upetha ) and lack of it can lead to a chaotic
life. Remedies for this are propitiation of the 9 L on his Day with his Mantra, Yantra & Homa, fasting on his Day and consecrating to
the Lord on his Day. Bhagya Sooktha Mantra can be used to counteract this malefic Yoga.

Daridra Yoga - When the 11 L is in the adverse 6, 8, 12 houses, this Yoga manifests. The 11 H is said to be the House of Gains and
House for the fulfillment of all desires. ( Abheeshta Labham Khalu Sarvamethath ). Remedies for this are propitiation of the 11 L on
his Day with his Mantra, Yantra & Homa, fasting on his Day and consecrating to the Divine on his Day. Lakshmi Mantra can be
used to counteract this Yoga.

Dur Yoga - When the 10 L is in the adverse 6, 8, 12 houses, this Yoga manifests. The 10 H is the most important House as it rules
Profession. This destructive Yoga can be a formidable block as the native works hard and finds no result ! Remedies for this are
propitiation of the 10 L on his Day with his Mantra, Yantra & Homa, fasting on his Day and consecrating to the Divine on his Day.

Sakata Yoga - This Yoga manifests when Jupiter and Moon are in 6/8 or 2/12 from each other. Sakata means a wheel in Sanskrit
and the native’s fortunes will fluctuate like a wheel. He will be led through dire vicissitudes. Jupiter angular to the Moon is Kesari
Yoga, a yoga which is diametrically opposite to this Yoga. Sakata Yoga can create financial stringency. Remedies for this are
propitiation of Jupiter on his Day with his Mantra, Yantra & Homa & fasting on his Day. Sree Sooktha Mantra can be used to
counteract this Yoga. Cancellational factor is an angular Jupiter, angular to the Asc and if so, the native becomes a regal person !

Kalasarpa Yoga - When all planets are hemmed in between the North Node & South Node, this Yoga manifests. Till 34, the native
struggles hard in life and in Life there will be occasional dips. Even though some scholars opine that K Y is valid only in Mundane
Astrology, this Yoga is found to be destructive in Natal Astrology as well. Remedies include performing a Kalasarpa Homa and
wearing the Kalasarpa Talisman and chanting the mantras of both Rahu & Ketu
Asura Yoga - When benefics occupy the 8 H, this Yoga manifests. Asu means the sensory organs and one born in A Y will have
sufficient sensory enjoyments. Fate has given the native all the resources to enjoy life fully. For a hedonist, this Yoga is Heaven
but for a spiritual aspirant, this Yoga is a big block as it can hinder his spiritual progress, his goal being Self Actualisation ! Only
from a spiritual perspective have we included this Yoga as a Negative Yoga.

Kemadruma Yoga - This Yoga manifests when the Signs on either sides of Luna are unoccupied. The person born under this Yoga
is dirty, sorrowful, low-minded and devoid of wealth ( Kemadrume Malina Dukhitha Neecha Nisva ). Tripura Mantra can be used to
counteract this Yoga. Soma Homa & Yantra can be useful in nullifying this Yoga.

Papa Karthari Yoga - This Yoga manifests when a house or a planet is hemmed in between 2 malefics. If the Ascendant (
Personality, Fame ) is hemmed in between malefics , in a P K Y, there may be even suicidal tendencies. Same is the case if the
Moon is in P K Y. If Sun is in P K Y, father’s health physical & mental becomes a problem. If Moon is so positioned, mother’s. If a
House or Bhava is in PKY, then the significations of that House or Bhava suffer. If the 2 H is in P K Y, then the native will have dire
vicissitudes. If the Asc is in PKY, then the native’s health becomes a problem. Remedial Astrology has it that the afflicted planet or
house lord should be propitiated with the respective ( the planet’s or the House lord’s ) Mantra, Yantra & Homa.
Malefics in Houses

Malefics vitiate the House they tenant. Natural benefics are Jupiter, Venus, Moon & Mercury. Moon waning is malefic and so is a
malefic associated Mercury. Jupiter & Venus become malefics when afflicted by angular ownership ( Kendradhipatya Dosha ).

If the Ascendant is vitiated by a malefic, the native suffers from the hallucination of defeat ( Lagne Papagathe Parajaya Bhaya
Siroruja ). There may be affliction to the head. If 2 H, wealth will be afflicted. If 3 H, younger coborns become inimical. If 4 H, mother
and conveyances. If 5 H, children. If 6 H, enemies attack the native. If 7 H, life partner creates problems. If 8 H, hindrances and
obstacles on the way. If 9 H, Luck will be found wanting. If 10 H, problems in the professional sphere. If 11 H, gains will be difficult
to come by. If 12 H, hidden enemies attack the native. There may be even incarceration. Remedial Astrology has it that the afflicted
house lord should be propitiated with the respective Mantra, Yantra & Homa.

While evaluating the Yogas, one should check whether cancellational factors are there or not. Cancellation of Kemadruma Yoga
goes under the name Kemadruma Bhanga Yoga and a person born under this Yoga becomes a royal personage , like one born in
Neecha Bhanga Raja Yoga ( Kemadrume Bhavathi Mangala Suprasiddhi ). A powerful Jupiterian aspect can also destroy negativity.
Jupiter in the Ascendant or an angular Jupiter can also remove a lot of negativity. Great care must be taken before predicting the
effects of negative yogas, as cancellation of a Negative Yoga becomes a Positive Yoga !
