How Śṛṅgāṭaka Yoga forms
This is the exact condition the check above applies.
| Condition | Requirement |
|---|---|
| The grahas | All seven, Sun through Saturn |
| The houses | Only 1, 5 and 9 |
| Empty | The other nine houses |
| How often it occurs | Did not occur in a 398-chart sample |
The 1/5/9 trine is the dharma trikoṇa — self, merit and fortune. No other Nābhasa yoga concentrates the chart there.
What Sārāvalī says Śṛṅgāṭaka Yoga gives
Sārāvalī gives a mixed but largely strong result: fond of quarrels, a warrior, happy, dear to those in authority, a fortunate wife, rich — and hostile to women.
The favourable half follows the placement directly. Everything the chart has sits on the houses of self, past merit and fortune, which is the most auspicious trine in the system.
The two clauses about conflict and about women are in the source and sit oddly beside "a fortunate wife". The tradition does not reconcile them, and this page does not invent a reconciliation.
Ākṛti yogas — the shape the grahas make
Śṛṅgāṭaka is the only Nābhasa yoga that concentrates all seven grahas on the dharma trine.
We measured it rather than guessed, and Śṛṅgāṭaka did not occur once in a sample of 398 charts. That follows from what it asks — all seven grahas in the 1st, 5th and 9th. — which the seven grahas almost never satisfy together. A "not present" result here is close to certain, and carries no bad news.
The twenty Ākṛti yogas are named for the figure the seven grahas trace across the houses — a boat, a parasol, a bow, a lotus. Sārāvalī gives the class its own result before the individual ones: a person with any Ākṛti yoga is satisfied with their own fortune, earns through authority, is dear to those in power, and is famous. The individual yoga then says what kind of person that is.
Two things true of every Nābhasa yoga
They run continuously — Sārāvalī says the Nābhasa yogas are "effective at all times independent of Daśās", which sets them apart from almost every other yoga in Jyotiṣa. And they constrain all seven grahas at once, so most charts carry only a few and a "not present" result is the ordinary answer.
How this check works
Your chart is computed from an astronomical ephemeris on the Lahiri (Citrapakṣa) ayanāṁśa, and the formation rule stated on this page is tested against it directly — the same rule, not a paraphrase. Where the classical texts disagree about a condition, the page names the reading we follow.
