How Grahan Yoga forms

Inauspicious (dosha) yoga

The Sun shares a sign with Rahu or Ketu (Grahan Yoga, Solar), or the Moon shares a sign with Rahu or Ketu (Grahan Yoga, Lunar). Either one forms it.

Not in Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra: it comes from later tradition, which is why astrologers weigh it differently.

What it is read to give

As the Kundli report reads it; a yoga is weighed with the whole chart, never alone

The Sun sharing a sign with Rahu or Ketu is the eclipse pattern for the planet of authority: confidence that comes and goes, and a bond with the father or with those in charge that needs more care than most. The texts also tie it to thinking off the expected line. It shows most in the periods of the Sun and of the node.

What weakens or cancels it

The engine does not cancel it once its condition holds; its strength still depends on the dignity of the grahas that form it.

A yoga gives its results mostly in the dashas of the grahas that form it. Vimshottari dasha

Upay families keep for it

The mantra and daan of the graha it presses on, on that graha’s day. A suggestion: do it as your faith allows.

  • Rahu: ॐ राहवे नमः108 times on Saturday, and daan of a coconut and black cloth the same day.
  • Ketu: ॐ केतवे नमः108 times on Tuesday, and daan of a blanket and sesame the same day.
