Rules of Combination of Planets
This post, although being posted late, should be read before any other posts under Yoga category. In a Vedic horoscope, planets are said to be in combination if:
- They exchange location and occupy each other’s rashi. E.g. Venus in Leo and Sun in Taurus.
- They affect each other through full aspect or drishti,
- A planet located in a rashi under full drishti of the lord of the house in a horoscope
- The planets occupy the same rashi in a horoscope.
These rules are numbered because the strength of effectiveness of the yoga reduces as we move from (1) to (4).
Further, location in houses 4th and 10th from each other are also considered as a combination from any of the planets. This is most evident in case of various Panch Mahapurusha yogas.
The combination of the planets should be seen in both rashi and chalit chart. If a planet moves in position between rashi and chalit chart, the combination would be rendered ineffective.
Full Aspect – Drishti
To explain (3), let us take an example of Venus in Pisces and Jupiter in Scorpio. In this case, Jupiter influences Venus through its 5th sign aspect, which means that we do not always need to look at 7th full drishti for this combination to be effective. The special full aspect of planets other than the usual 7th sign aspect are as follows:
- Mars: 4th and 8th sign
- Jupiter: 5th and 9th sign
- Saturn: 3rd and 10th sign
- Raku and Ketu: 5th and 9th sign
Sun, Moon, Mercury and Venus do not have any other special aspect.

What is a Shudha Jatakam ,How can we identify a shudha Jataka by seeing the Graha Nila …
My planets are exchanged between 3rd and 7th and vice-versa.Jupiter is in my 3rd hose and SUN is in my
7th house.My ascenednt is MITHUNA.
What are my political prospects if any
This kind of exchanges I have mentioned in my post about Foreign travel and called as parivarthana Yoags or mutual reception. Many of these have been discussed in our classical texts.I have done considerable research in this area which is my first research point.These are powerful yogas than any other yogas if Lordships are fine.Ask for any type parivarthana if you want.
Why is that the ascendant change in my Birth chart when I am still using the same Time zone, Lattitude and Longitude to calculate the birth chart? I am confused as to how to Interpret my Chart.
Dear Mr. Sharma,
I was born on 28th April 1959 at 9.04 AM and as per my Horoscope in Rahu Mahadasha till Jun 2011,Venus Antardasha till 20th Jun 2008. I am not progressing in my career despite being one of the best guys. What is the reason and when will positive things happen career wise? Can u guide me me
would u like to predict our carrier if u r interested than contact me at my id-cute_dain@yahoo.co.in or any astrologer who read this comment
Dear Mr Sharma, I’m writing this mail as a reply to your blog post since i could not come across / identify any specific e-mail i.d. on which i could contact you. And considering the urgency of the issue, I am giving details of my query right now.
I am (very seriously) considering marriage with particular lady. We know each other for a few months now. When i showed our horoscopes to an astrologer, he had one look and said that we should not proceed. On prodding further, he said that the alliance would effect my lifespan. He went on to say that the lady’s horoscope is a “shuddha jatakam” whereas i’m a manglik. But a couple of astrological websites say that both are manglik.
I give below the birth dates and times of both of us. Please help me, since she is facing a lot of pressure from her family and I too do not want to keep her waiting for too long :
Male :
Date of birth : 12-6-74; 3.45 a.m.(03:45)
Place of birth: Mumbai
Female :
Date of birth : 3-11-78;07.10 p.m.(19:10)
Place of birth : Trichur (Kerala)
Pls do let me know if there are any other means to get in touch with you.
Thank you.
The exchange of planets in each other’s house does form the ‘Aananya Yoga’- for eg. Saturn in Scorpio and Mars in Capricon.in 9th & 11th Houses respectively. This exchange of yoga imparts strength to the houses so exchanged. However, its negative or positive effects are decided by the houses exchanged..viz. malefic or benefic houses. Kindly examine and advise on the veracity of the rule.
