Shakat Yoga –
This yoga is primarily formed by the planetary placement of Jupiter and the Moon. Shakat Yoga is said to be present when the Moon is in the 6th, 8th, or 12th house from Jupiter.
* Jupiter: Represents wealth, fortune, wisdom, and expansion.
* Moon: Represents the mind, emotions, and overall well-being.
* 6th, 8th, and 12th houses: These are considered “dusthana” or “malefic” houses in astrology, associated with challenges, obstacles, diseases, debts, and losses.
When these two natural benefic planets are placed in these challenging houses from each other, their positive energies are believed to be obstructed, leading to negative results.
Effects of Shakat Yoga
The effects of Shakat Yoga are generally considered to be unfavorable and can manifest in various aspects of a person’s life:
* Instability and Fluctuations: The native may experience a life of constant ups and downs, particularly in matters of wealth and happiness. Financial gains may be followed by sudden losses, and periods of joy may be short-lived.
* Financial Struggles: Even those born into wealthy families may face financial difficulties or lose their inherited fortune. There can be a sense of lack and poverty, regardless of their background.
* Mental and Emotional Distress: The combination can lead to mental exhaustion, overthinking, anxiety, and a feeling of insecurity. The native may find it difficult to maintain emotional stability.
* Lack of Recognition: A person with Shakat Yoga may struggle to gain recognition or a good social standing, despite their hard work and efforts.
* Obstacles to Success: The yoga can create constant hurdles and obstacles in the path to prosperity and fame.
Cancellations of Shakat Yoga –
It is important to note that the presence of Shakat Yoga in a birth chart does not necessarily mean a life of constant misery. Astrologers look for certain conditions that can nullify or reduce the negative effects of this yoga:
* Jupiter or Moon in a Kendra : If either Jupiter or the Moon is placed in a Kendra (1st, 4th, 7th, or 10th house) from the ascendant, the negative effects of Shakat Yoga are often cancelled as per Phal Deepika book.
* Jupiter in its own sign or exalted: If Jupiter is in its own sign (Sagittarius or Pisces) or in its sign of exaltation (Cancer), its strength can mitigate the effects of the yoga.
* Moon in its own sign or exalted: If the Moon is in its own sign (Cancer) or in its sign of exaltation (Taurus), it can provide the native with the inner strength to overcome challenges.
* Benefic Aspects: Aspects from other benefic planets, can also help to alleviate the negative impact.
