Graha Yogas

The Essence of Jyotish

The Essence of Jyotiṣa

The most brilliant aspect of India's astrological science is the many graha yogas given in the ancient texts. These planetary combinations in a birth chart reveal a person's karma. Combined with daśās , or planetary periods that show timing, they form the essence of Jyotiṣa and are what make it so unique and superior to all other forms of astrology. Yogas show what a person is likely to experience in their life based on their karmas and daśās show when this will happen.

From that standpoint, the analysis of a birth chart becomes partly a matter of:

  • Identifying the yogas
  • Assessing their ability to give their promised “fruits” in terms of:
    • - fully
    • - partially
    • - not at all
    • - with or without "blemishes"
  • Timing these results through the planetary periods
