Heavenly "Nabha"  yogas:

  • Aakriti - Yogas-dealing with the position of planets in different houses.
  • Aashraya - Yogas-dealing with the position of planet in different signs.
  • Sankhya - Yogas-dealing with the question of the number of houses occupied by all the planets.

 

  • The number of Aakriti Yogas is 20, that of Ashraya Yogas is 5 and that of Sankhya Yogas is 7. Thus there are in all 32 Nabhas Yogas.
  • For a better understanding the names of these Yogas are given below:
  • Aakriti Yogas: 1. Yupa, 2. Ishu, 3. Shakti, 4. Yavah, 5. Dandam, 6. Gada, 7. Samudra, 8. Chhatram, 9. Ardha Chandram, 10. Shakatam, 11. Ambujam, 12. Pakshi, 13. Nau, 14. Chakram, 15. Vajram, 16. Halam, 17. Kannukarn, 18. Kutam, 19. Vapi, 20. Shringashtak.
  • Sankhya Yogas are: 1. Veena, 2. Vardamah , 3. Pashah, 4. Kedar, 5. Shool, 6. Yugam, 7. Gol.
  • Ashraya Yogas are: 1. Rajju, 2. Nala, 3. Moosal, 4. Srak, 5. Sarpa. 9, 10 and 8 multiplied respectively by 3, 3 and 4 give 27, 30 and 32 as the number of Nabhas Yogas in different combinations of 2, 3 or 4 of the Aakriti; Ashraya etc. The Yavanacharya has held them to be of 1800 types, but this help has dealt with 32 essential numbers.
  • Ashraya and Dala Yogas: If all the planets occupy movable signs it constitutes "Rajju" Yoga. If all of them occupy fixed signs it is called Musal and if all the planets occupy duel signs they constitute "Nala" Yoga. Amongst the two "dala" Yogas, one called Srak or Mala is constituted when all the benefic planets occupy the kendras and there is no malefic in any kendra. These three yogas were treated by Satyacharya as Aashraya Yogas. The two yogas Srak and Sarpa have been mentioned by Parashara.
  • Aakriti Yogas: If all the planets occupy only two adjoining kendras "Gada" Yoga is formed (It would be of four types - (1) between lagna and 4th, (2) 4th and 7th, (3) 7th and 10th, (4) and 10th and 1st). If all the planets are in the 1st and 7th houses, the yoga goes by the name of "Sakat". If all the planets are in 4th and 10th houses it is called "Vihag". If all the planets occupy the three trines starting with lagna ie 1st, 5th, 9th houses, it constitutes yoga called "Shringashtak". If all the Planets are in mutual trines but involving other than the lagna, the yoga constituted goes by the name of "Hala". (These would be constituted by (i) 2nd, 6th and 10th houses, (ii) by 3rd, 7th and 11th houses, (Hi) by 4th, 8th and 12th houses.)
  • Vajra: If the benefics occupy 1st and 7th houses and the malefics 4th and 10th, with all other houses vacant the yogas formed are called "Vajra". If there are matefics in 1st and 7th and benefics in 4th and 10th, with other houses and malefics occupy the kendras and there are no planets in other houses, the yoga formed is called "Kamal". The kendras are all vacant, the yoga goes by the name of "Vapi."
  • Yupa: If all the planets occupy the four houses beginning from each kendra, the four Yogas constituted will be: (a) Planets in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th houses-'Yupa". (b) All planets in 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th-"lshu". (c) All planets in 7th, 8th, 9th and 1Oth-''Shakti". (d) All planets in 10th, 11th, 12th and Ist-'Danda".
  • Nau Kut: If in all the seven houses counted from the lagna, there is one planet each, the Yoga called "Nau" is constituted, similarly if all the seven houses counted from the 4th house have one planet each, the Yoga goes under the name of "Kut". When 7th to 1st are similarly occupied it is called "Chhatra" and one constituted by one planet occupying each of the 7 houses counted from 10th is called "Chaap" Yoga. Similar Yoga made by the seven planets occupying each of the seven houses from other than Kendras is called "Ardha Chandra" (which will naturally be of 8 kinds-the starting houses being 8 in number).
  • Samudra and Chakra Yoga: If all the planets occupy the six houses counted from the 2nd to 12th with interval of one house (2, 4, 6 etc), the yoga constituted is called "Samudra", while the one constituted by the location of all the planets in the alternate house counted from the 1st (1, 3, 5 etc) is called "Chakra".
  • Sankhya Yogas: When the seven planets (Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn) occupy any seven places in the horoscope, they create one of the sankhya yogas called "Vallaki". If the seven planets occupy any six places of the horoscope they create "Daamini Yoga". If all the seven planets occupy any five of the houses in the horoscope, they constitute the yoga called "Paasha". If they occupy any four it goes under the name of "Kedar". If they occupy only three houses they constitute "Shool" yoga. If they occupy only two houses they constitute the yoga called "Yupa". If all the seven planets occupy only one house of the horoscope the yoga created is called "Gol". In case any "Aashraya" yoga is identical with a "Sankhya" yoga, the results stated for the latter will prevail.
