Parashari Raj Yoga: Types, Effects, and Cancellation

Have you ever wondered why one of your friends is enjoying vacations, luxury cars, and success while you are stuck in your corporate job, even though you studied in the same school? Your friend most likely has a Parashari Raj yog in his kundli. These are the most desired planetary combinations, as per the ancient text BPHS. So, let’s see how this raj yoga is formed and what its benefits are. 

What is Parashari Raj yoga? 

Raj means “king” and yog means “combinations”. A Raj yog in your birth chart makes you stand out in the crowd. And makes you a member of the top 1% club. If you have these combinations in your chart and they are not afflicted, they can bless you with all kinds of material and spiritual success. 

Some Raj Yogas can be experienced from birth. And the results of others are observed later in life.

How to see Parashari Raj Yoga in Kundali?

To know whether you have this Raj yoga in your chart. Look for combinations between the Kendra (angle) and Trikona (trine) houses. 

Kendra houses include the 1st, 4th, 7th, and 10th house. Kendra are the 4 pillars of horoscope. They represent the foundation of life. When the kendra is strong, you easily achieve your goal. And are successful in fulfilling your desires. 

Trikona houses includes the 1st, 5th, and 9th houses. These houses are linked with our past life punya (fortune). This house represents the blessings of past life. When favourable, you get to feel satisfied and fulfilled, content in your pursuits. Trikona houses are responsible for your spiritual growth in life. 

The Parashari Raj yoga can be formed in 4 ways when there is a favourable connection between the lords of Kendra and Trikona houses. This can be: 

1. Exchange: When the lords of a kendra and trikona house exchange positions 
2. Conjunction: The lords of kendra and trikona are together in one house 
3. Placement: A kendra lord is placed in trine, or a trine lord is placed in kendra 
4. Mutual Aspect: Lord of kendra and trine mutually aspect each other

Other Important Factors 

Many important factors that govern whether you will get to experience all the benefits of a Parashari Raj Yoga or not. We have listed some of these factors for careful consideration: 

Strength of Planets

The planets forming the Raj Yoga must be strong (e.g., in their own sign, exalted, well-placed) and free from severe afflictions (e.g., debilitation, combustion). These planets should not make any connections with the 6th, 8th, and 12th houses. As it reduces the beneficial effects of Raj Yoga.

Activation 

The full effects of a Raj Yoga are usually experienced during the specific planetary periods (Dashas) or sub-periods (Antardashas) of the planets involved in forming the yoga. While you experience overall general well-being and success throughout life. Maximum benefits will be observed during the specific planetary periods.

For example, Jupiter and Saturn form a Raj Yoga in your Kundli, then you’ll observe the peak success of your life in Jupiter-Saturn dasha. 

Nullification (Rajyoga Bhanga)

Certain negative planetary influences or combinations (e.g., association with lords of Trishadaaya houses – 3rd, 6th, 11th – or Dusthana houses – 6th, 8th, 12th) can weaken or even nullify the positive effects of a Raj Yoga.

Status of Lagna Lord 

Lagna is unique in a way that it is both a kendra and trine house. So, wherever the lagna lord is placed in your chart, it plays a major role in delivering these positive results.
