Dhana Yogas
Definition.-If the 5th from the Ascendant happens to be a sign of Venus, and if Venus and Saturn are situated in the 5th and 11th respectively, Dhana
Yoga is caused-A.
Mercury should occupy his own sign which should be the 5th from Lagna and the Moon and Mars should be in the 11th-B.
Saturn should occupy his own sign which should be the 5th from Lagna, and Mercury and Mars should be posited in the 11th-C.
The Sun must occupy the 5th identical with his own sign and Jupiter and the Moon should be in the 11t h – D.
If the 5th from Lagna happens to be a house of Jupiter with Jupiter there and Mars and the Moon in the 11th, Dhana Yoga arises-E.
Results.-In all the-above cases, the native will acquire much wealth.
Remarks.-The above five Yogas caused by the disposition of certain planets in the 5th and 11th houses are really significent as they indicate great riches. In the first case – A, the Lagna must invariably be Capricorn or Gemini. When Makara is the Ascendant Saturn will have to be in Scorpio, the 11th. Lord of Lagna in the 11th is indeed a fine combination. Similarly when Gemini is Lagna, Saturn will have to be in Aries. This cannot be as powerful as in the first instance unless Saturn gets Neechabhanga.
In case of B – Lagna must fall either in Aquarius or in Taurus. In regard to Aquarius, the combination in the 11th will be due to the lord of the 10th and 6th while for Taurus, the location in the 11th would be of the lords of the 3rd and 7th. The degree of wealth would be the same but the sources of getting it would be different.
Combination C has reference to Virgo and Libra. If Virgo is Lagna, then Mercury lord of the 10th will be in the llth. If Libra is Lagna, then the
9th lord will be in the 11th. Both the dispositions are highly favourable though, in the first instance, Mercury being lord of Lagna also in addition to the lordship of the 10th would certainly have greater significance.
Combination D is applicable only to Aries in which case the Sun as lord of the 5th would be in the Dhana Yogas. 5th and the Moon lord of the 4th and Jupiter lord of the 9th would be in the 11th. Moon-Jupiter combination itself comprehends two powerful Raja Yogas, because firstly they are lords of a kendra and thrikona respectively, and secondly, Gajakesari would be formed–all occurring in the 11th house.
The last would indeed be a powerful Dhana Yoga. If Jupiter could be in the 5th identical with his own sign (as required in combination ) in respect of Scorpio and Leo, the Yoga could be expected to be more powerful in respect of Scorpio, because when Mars and the Moon occupy the 11th, they do so
as lords of I and 9 and hence of considerable significance. It will be seen that all the five combinations given above have reference to the fortification of the 5th and 11th houses.
