If you are even a little bit interested in Vedic astrology, you must have heard of the term “Raj Yoga”. It is a special combination that if exists in a horoscope makes the native wealthy, healthy and prosperous. Like Raj Yoga, there are many other special Yogas that are considered important in Vedic astrology. “Yogas” is an aspect that is unique to Vedic astrology. Yogas essentially are special combinations and positions of planets in relation to houses and other planets. Certain planetary positions can lead to some specific results, whether good or bad. And Vedic astrology has defined some of these very special positions as Yogas. The meaning of the word Yoga is “union” so certainly, the different ways planets associate with each other and form combinations is also called Yogas. Most Yogas consist of more than one planet. There are a huge number of Yogas in Vedic astrology but some are more important than others, which apparently should be on tips of any perspective astrologer. When a Yoga is formed in a particular house by lords of different houses, it can deem positive or negative results based on the area of life that the associated planets and houses signify. You would rarely see someone who only has auspicious Yogas in his or her horoscope.

Astronomically, the intersection points of the sun and moon – on their movements in the celestial sphere – are called Rahu and Kethu. They are also called the north node and south node. Rahu and Kethu are unimaginably huge dark shadows in space. During their transit, when their shadow falls on any planet, that planet’s all-effects will be completely altered or diverted by Rahu and Kethu. Rahu and Kethu are solely responsible for a beggar to become a millionaire and a millionaire to become a beggar. This book elaborately discusses the effects of Rahu and Kethu. In the horoscope, how Rahu and Kethu are positioned, how the planets and the houses (Bhavas) are affected by them in the birth chart are all analysed in this book. How and when the natives will be affected? To what extent they will be affected? It is because of the birth chart, the transit movement and the Dhasa Bhukthi of Rahu and Kethu? They are all clearly explained in this book with many birth charts. Kindly read this book thoroughly, analyse it with your known people’s horoscope, and experience the result. It will surely give you goosebumps!

Note to Reader Yogas are nothing but certain combinations. It gives certain results in horoscope based on different yogas native gets different results. In this book in the form of predicitive techniques I am providing 400 yogas based on my experience on classics and explaining their results.
