Pancha Mahapurusha Yoga

In a horoscope, Pancha Mahapurusha Yoga is formed when one of the five planets - Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are powerful, i.e. near their point of exaltation, and are in a kendra from Moon or Lagna. The planets in this combination exert a powerful influence on a horoscope. The influence is in form of general disposition of the person and since there is a kendra involved, it affects personal relationships and profession as well. These yogas are known to give a lot of wealth, name and fame to the person.

Ruchaka yoga: Mars is a planet of bravery, energy and initiative on the positive side and conflict on the negative side. Presence of Ruchaka Yoga in a horoscope makes a person brave and gives him/her passion and intensity. On the negative side, this yoga can also make a person arrogant. Since Mars has a fourth full drishti, presence of this yoga in any of the four kendras has a strong influence on the profession. Many police officers have Ruchaka Yoga in their charts. A negative influence in the horoscope would also show up. I had read this in the Astrology Magazine a while back that there is a fine line between law-makers and law-breakers and Ruchaka Yoga would certainly be found in charts of some famous criminals.

Bhadra yoga: This yoga is related to Mercury, which is a planet that rules intellect, speech and business practices. While exerting its influence in the horoscope through Bhadra Yoga, Mercury tends to make a person highly intelligent, a good orator/writer and someone who can communicate his/her ideas to the world with utmost ease. As Mercury also governs businesses in general, the corresponding influence would also help the person in fields of management - sales, marketing and finance. The moment I say finance, you can draw a conclusion that the person would automatically be rich. Usually there are very little negative effects of Bhadra Yoga. Any influences by Saturn or Rahu/Ketu on Mercury would simply not let this yoga show up.

Hamsa yoga: Jupiter is the supreme teacher, that is why it is called in Sanskrit as, simply, Guru. It is a planet of spirituality. Guru also represents blessings by God, and its drishti on lagna, Sun or Moon in a chart is considered very fortunate. You can now easily guess… if Guru is the strongest planet in the chart and if it influences Kendras, the person would be lucky and due to divine intervention, he would never get in trouble. The person would also be quite religious and not religious for just his/her own inner self, he would share his knowledge with the rest of the world as well, as Jupiter would like him to do. Naturally, this yoga would be strong in the charts of spiritual leaders. Since Guru also represents husband in chart of women, Hamsa Yoga in the chart of a woman would mean a lot of good for her husband.

Malavaya yoga: This yoga is related to Venus - a planet that governs beauty, luxury and comfort in life. It represents wife in a man’s chart. A strong Venus, through Malavaya?yoga bestows a very loving and supporting wife to such a man. In the chart of a woman, it makes her beautiful and desirable. Venus, through ownership of signs 2 (Taurus) and 7 (Libra), is also intricately linked to house number two and seven and their “fields of activity”. Malavaya yoga could also make a person a good businessman with ability to extend his empire through partnerships (7) and give him a lot of money (2).

Shasha yoga: Saturn is a mystical planet. This planet represents poverty, disease and adversity. You would wonder, how is a strong Saturn beneficial then… A strong Saturn, which represents pessimism, in a chart, can make the person a profound and deep thinker. In an organization, there are a lot of people who, under the influence of Mercury would come up with new ideas. The people, with a strong Saturn or best, Sasha yoga in their charts, would be the ones who finally implement these ideas and bring them to reality. These are the people with real sense and position of authority. These people are not optimists, but they would still be smiling in adversity because they have already thought ahead and taken the worst case scenario into account. Like in the case of Ruchaka Yoga, a lot of negative influences can creep in. Saturn is a cruel planet by disposition. If it is not under beneficial influence of Jupiter and is a cruel planet in the chart by position as well, Shasha yoga can make a person very cold and calculating.

OK, now is the time for some clarifications… Statistically, these yogas can appear in a lot of charts, but the effects would not show up everywhere. As I have mentioned in the post about Gaja Kesari Yoga, the chart by itself should be strong for any yoga to show up and materialize. In case of Panch Mahapurusha Yoga, the planet should also be close to its point of exaltation and not merely present in the sign of exaltation. It should also not be powerless due to shadbala, e.g. by being at rashi sandhi. The planet must be strong in Navamsha as well.

Also, existence of this yoga in a chart does not mean that the person would be a Mahapurusha in literal sense. Depending on other influences in the chart, as always, fame could also mean notoriety.

Nice post, Kshitij.

It would also be in line to think that certain lagnas would be more favourable for a(n) MPY. For example, Ruchaka Yoga effects would be more evident in an Aries Lagna chart, than in a Libra Lagna chart, since the lord of Lagna will be in the 10th. Secondly, Aries lagna will confer the physical forcefulness for Ruchaka yoga, while Libra, being an airy sign, will confer more of a tough mental attitude. Ruchaka will be bad in a Cancer lagna chart with regard to spouse. With Capricorn lagna, Mars is ruler of the 4th and 11th (Badhakasthana), and will not be as effective as Aries.
Similar conditions can be analyzed for other MPYs.

Like you said, the navamsha disposition and even to an extent nakshatra disposition is important. But like all yogas, the favourable dasas and bhuktis must operate at the appropriate time. Otherwise, the yoga is useless.

Hi,

Mahapurusha yoga may not be uniformly effective for all ascendants as we need to consider the house ownership of the planet concerned also.

For example, Venus is a natural belefic and is exalted in Pisces. For Pisces ascendant therefore, MPY is formed. However, Venus is the lord of two unfavourable houses for Pisces Ascendant, namely the 3rd and 8th. So, in this case how does MPY affect the native?

1) Venus is a natuaral benefic. Therefore, the 1st and 7th houses are fortified by the benefic occupation / aspect.

2)Venus is exalted and therefore the significations of Venus are present in FULL POTENTIAL in the horoscope. The significations in this case are: younger siblings, courage and initiative being 3rd lord, longevity and inheritances, being the 8th lord, spouse being kalatrakaraka.

3) Being posted in FAVOURABLE 1st house, the native should enjoy the significations of Venus during the appropriate dasha / bhuktis.

4) Being UNFAVOURABLE lord of 8th house, Venus afflicts the 1st and 7th houses and also afflicts any other planets that it conjoins or aspects. This effect should also be felt during the dasha and bhuktis of the afflicting and afflicted planets.

Point 4 seems to contradict with point 3 and 1 as far as 1st and 7th houses are concerned but I doubt if the good and bad cancel out (as in arithmatic). More likely, both good and bad effects are felt as it usually happens in real life.

Therefore, though MPY is technically present in the case of Pisces ascendent with Venus in Pisces, we need to consider Venus’s 8th house lordship.

Dear Sharmaji

It was sheer luck that I happened to run into your site. It is impressive, educative, useful and serves a noble purpose. What is really great is your attitude to serve `free` to help people.

Who doesn`t have problems. So do I? If I need your sage and sane advice, is it enough to send birth details along with the a few queries, or would you prefer the `horoscope charts`.

Is it possible to see you at Bangalore whenever we visit there? We were once there and we still have our close relatives settled there.

Hi

I am in a phase of life where I am uncertain about what my next move should be. I have consulted my family and still have not been able to come to a conclusion about my career. A part of me wants to leave the job that I am in, and another wants me to go on for another few more months and then quit. Professionally, I am disinclined with continuing my job.

Please advice.
I was born in Chennai at 11:16 AM, on the 14th of May, 1981.
