Our great Rishis and seers developed a system of analyzing and predicting the nature of an individual
and also the possible event that may take place in his life by studying certain specific planetary
combinations of planets in a chart. There are various yogas in Indian Astrology. Some important yogas
based on the position of Moon are analyzed herein:
SUNAFA YOGA
Sunafa Yoga is formed when there is/are some planet/planets (except Sun, Rahu and Ketu) in the second
house from Moon.
This yoga is considered auspicious giving prosperity, intelligence, wealth, positive attitude and happy life
to a native. The native is a self made person. He attains everything in life by virtue of his hard work. If
benefics are involved in this yoga, the result will be stronger. In case of malefic planets, the auspicious
result will be reduced or there will not be any good result.
ANAFA YOGA
Anafa Yoga is formed when there is/are some planet/planets (except Sun, Rahu and Ketu) in the twelfth
house from Moon.
This Yoga is considered auspicious and gives many positive qualities to its native. The native has good
health with magnetic personality. He may be famous and respected in the society. He gets the support of
government authorities. He also has lot of patience and leads a happy life. Mars in this Yoga gives a
person leadership qualities and power. Mercury makes him skilled in communications. Jupiter makes the
native religious, knowledgeable and involved in charitable activities. Venus may make a person a
womanizer and fond of sexual art. Saturn may lead to difficulties and presence of the nodes may create
problematic life.
DURUDHARA YOGA
Durudhara Yoga is formed when there are planets (except Sun, Rahu and Ketu) on either side of Moon
i.e. planets are placed in second house and twelfth house from the Moon. Actually when both Sunafa
and Anafa yogas are present in the chart, Durudhara Yoga is automatically formed.
This is considered an auspicious yoga and makes its native rich and provides all the materialistic
comforts by virtue of his hard work. He gets fame in the society.
Such a person is trustworthy and intelligent. The result of this yoga depends on the nature of planets
involved in this Yoga. The benefics will give better and strong effect while malefic may give negative or
no result. If surrounded by benefics, the native will be attractive, pure heart, religious, renowned, rich,
happy, clever, satisfied, courageous and knowledgeable. He will enjoy high status and all the comforts of
life. He will be sincere and will be surrounded by the sincere friends and relatives. Malefic will give
negative results and may make the native cruel, womanizer, greedy and surrounded by wicked people
and enemies.
Apart from the nature of the planets forming this Yoga, the power and degree of such planets should be
analyzed along with the lordship of the houses they represent. The benefics but the lords of bad houses
may not be able to give desired results.
KEMA DRUMA YOGA
Kema Druma Yoga is formed when there is no planet (except Sun, Rahu and Ketu) on either side of
Moon. Moon does not get any support from other planets. The Moon becomes alone and weak. The
native will also lead a lonely, unsatisfied and difficult life.
