Rogagrastha Yoga
Definition.-If the lord of Lagna occupies the ascendant in conjunction with the lord of the 6th, 8th or 12th; or if the weak lord of Lagna joins a trine or a quadrant, Rogagrastha Yoga is caused.
Results.-The native will possess a weak constitution and be sickly.
Remarks,-The Yoga comprehends to combinations,
viz., (l) the ascendant lord being placed in the ascendant and joined by the lord of the 6th, 8th or 12th; and (2) the weak ascendant lord occupying a trine or a quadrant. It is a general astrological precept that when the ascendant lord joins a trine or a quadrant he acquires vitality When he is weak, by which term is implied that his shadbala pinda (sum total of strength) falls short of the requisite quantity, the distinction attached to location in a kendra or thrikona is lost. It is found in actual practice that the
lordship of the 12th is less malefic than that of the 6th or 8th and hence when the lords of the Lagna and 12th join, the affliction expresses itself more in the nature of financial stress than in terms of Dehakashta
or Rogagrastha Yogas. One born under this combination will not have a healthy constitution. It will lack the requisite power of resistance s o that the native falls an easy prey to disease.
