Planetary combinations arising out of the Sun and Moon have been discussed widely. However there are other important yoga's which are as important and sometimes have more effect than the Sun or the Moon Yogas. The effects manifest themselves in the dashas of the planets causing the Yoga.

!!!! See main pages for explanation of Kalsarpa Yoga,Manglik Yoga !!!!!

Kemdruma Yoga: This Yoga arises when their are no planets on either sign of the moon in the birth chart. This is a bad Yoga more so when the strength of the moon is weak or moon is deposited in the sign of Scorpio. The native who has this yoga in the birth chart/janam patrika is miserable and suffers from mental vacillation. Such a native is poor, dependent and full of sorrows. If malefics aspect such a moon the native may take to dishonest deeds and theft. People with this yoga should worship Lord Shiva with all devotion as one of the names of Shiva is Chandramoulishvar (one who has moon for the crown). Monday fast is also a good remedy.

Bhaskara Yoga: Mercury in the second from the Sun, Moon being eleventh from Mercury and Jupiter in 5th or ninth from the moon gives rise to this Yoga. This is an excellent yoga. The native will be wealthy, famous, learned in astrology and other divine sciences. Will have a charming face.

!!!! One having Mars in the sixth house is a vanquisher of enemies !!!!

Damini Yoga: All seven planets should occupy six signs. When such a combination occurs there is the damini yoga. This leads to a spiritual disposition and the native become highly charitable. The native has an altruistic attitude.

Vipreeta Raja Yoga: This is one of the most powerful Raja Yoga's and it's importance lies in the fact that this Yoga is caused by the Lord of the malefic houses. If the Lord of the 6th house is placed in the 8th house or the 12th house, the Lord of the 8th house is placed in the sixth house or the 12th house and if the Lord of the 12 house is placed in the sixth house or the 8th house Vipreeta Raja Yoga occurs. If the planets are powerful then this Yoga causes sudden rise in life specially in the field of politics and the Government.

!!!! Mercury in the 8th house free from the effect of combustion gives excellent results !!!!

Duryoga: If the Lord of the 10th house is placed in the 6th ,8th or the 12th house Duryoga is caused. The native having this Yoga in the Janam Kundli will not get rewards for his bodily exertions. Such a native will always be unsatisfied, telling his misfortunes to others and will live in a foreign place.

Vakchalana Yoga: If a malefic planet is the Lord of the second house and joins a cruel navamsa and the second house is without the aspect of any benefic influence this yoga is caused. Jupiter also if afflicted will aggravate the situation. The person having this yoga in the chart will stammer and will not be able to present ideas with clarity. A person having this Yoga in the chart should worship the Lord of the second house and perform Saraswati Sadhana on a Saraswati Yantra to come over this affliction.

!!!! Devotion and Faith to God help one tide over any difficult situation irrespective of the planetary combinations !!!!
