Negative Yogas & Their Divine 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.

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 ! What the Seers hear is only an
infinitesimal portion of the Infinite Vedas ( Ananta Vai Veda )!

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, 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 Gunari 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 the 10 L 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.

 Essential Astrology

Kemadruma Yoga - This Yoga manifest 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 physical & mental health 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 should be propitiated with the respective ( the planet's or the
House lord's ) Mantra, Yantra & Homa.

Malefics in Houses

Malefics vitiate the House it tenants. 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 !
