Raj Yoga in horoscope, planets in astrology for professional success and power


How to study and predict yoga in astrology that makes the person successful in all ventures in life. There are many text written in various scriptures on this subject, but firstly we need to study and translate it into modern context. They cannot be applied as it is, because definition of rulership has been changed. The astrology yoga which lead to royal status and kingship can be concluded in modern context as high governmental position, political status or wealthy and famous person. 

Now while analyzing rajyoga remember there will be many horoscopes where you can find these combinations but the strength of these rajyoga is dependent on several factors. Therefore one must not predict just by knowing the presence of these rajyoga.  These rajyoga must also be analyzed in D9 navamsha, D10 dasamsha and D60 chart for better accuracy, however this sounds pretty impractical to do so. Therefore just see the strength of planets involved in rajyoga, there sign wise dignity, sign in navamsha, dispositor of planets and aspects.

Here I have selected all the rajyoga planetary combination in various sacred astrological text by Sages.
