Raj Yoga Calculator

Kaala detects multiple Raj Yoga varieties. Dharma-Karma Adhipati Yoga (the strongest form) is the conjunction or connection of the 9th lord (dharma) and 10th lord (karma). Lakshmi Yoga forms when the 9th lord is strong and in a Kendra from the Lagna. Viparita Raj Yoga occurs when the lords of Dusthana houses (6th, 8th, 12th) occupy other Dusthana houses, creating strength through adversity.

Additionally, the calculator identifies general Kendra-Trikona Raj Yogas for your specific Lagna, noting which houses each participating planet rules. For example, in a Cancer Lagna chart, Moon (1st lord) connecting with Mars (5th and 10th lord) forms a potent Raj Yoga because Mars simultaneously rules both a Kendra and a Trikona. The calculator also checks for Neech Bhanga Raj Yoga, where a debilitated planet's cancellation creates unexpected strength.

Not all Raj Yogas are equal. Kaala evaluates each detected yoga using six strength criteria. First, planetary dignity: participating planets in own sign, exaltation, or friendly signs produce much stronger results than those in debilitation or enemy signs. Second, house placement: yoga planets in Kendras or Trikonas amplify the combination, while placement in Dusthanas weakens it.

Third, aspect support: benefic aspects (especially Jupiter's) on the yoga planets strengthen results, while malefic affliction dilutes the yoga. Fourth, degree closeness: planets within 5 degrees form a tighter, more potent yoga than planets separated by 20 degrees in the same sign. Fifth, combustion: if a Raj Yoga planet is combust (too close to the Sun), results are delayed or diminished. Sixth, retrograde status adds complexity — results may come through unconventional paths. Each yoga receives an overall strength rating based on these combined factors.

Raj Yoga manifests most powerfully during the Mahadasha or Antardasha of the participating planets. A Raj Yoga formed by the 9th and 10th lords will produce its peak results when either planet's Mahadasha or Antardasha is running. If both planets' periods are running simultaneously (e.g., 9th lord Mahadasha with 10th lord Antardasha), the yoga's manifestation is at its maximum.

Kaala shows when each Raj Yoga planet's Dasha periods occur across your lifetime. This allows you to identify the windows of maximum opportunity — the years when your Raj Yoga is most likely to elevate your career, bring recognition, or advance your social position. Conversely, if the yoga planets' Dasha periods have already passed, the yoga's main activation window has closed, though residual effects persist through favorable Antardashas in subsequent Mahadashas.

Different Lagnas produce different Raj Yoga combinations because different planets rule the Kendra and Trikona houses. For Aries Lagna, the strongest Raj Yoga forms between Saturn (10th and 11th lord) and Jupiter (9th and 12th lord) — though both carry Dusthana lordship that dilutes the yoga. For Taurus Lagna, Saturn (9th and 10th lord) is a single-planet Raj Yoga Karaka.

For Cancer Lagna, Mars (5th and 10th lord) connecting with Jupiter (9th lord) or Moon (1st lord) forms excellent yogas. For Leo Lagna, Mars (4th and 9th lord) is the Yogakaraka. For Capricorn Lagna, Venus (5th and 10th lord) is the most powerful Yogakaraka in the zodiac. Kaala automatically detects which Raj Yogas are possible for your specific Lagna and checks whether the required planetary connections exist in your chart.
