Core Yogas

Vapi pond Yoga: All planets in all the four panapharas (2nd, 5th, 8th, and 11th) or all in the four apoklimas (3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th). One born in Vapi Yoga will be capable of accumulating wealth, and endowed with lasting wealth, happiness and sons. One enjoys some small though enduring comforts, is somewhat rich, keeps their wealth safely hidden underground and does not subscribe money to any cause. Of good physique, one is beautiful, free from eye afflictions, and one to be a king. One lives long, is the most excellent in their lineage, speaks lovingly, has an excellent mentality, grows a small garden of flowers and is glorious. Vapi means a pond, pool, lake, or reservoir, but particularly those that are created by damming up the earth. Natives with Vapi Yoga take the best of what comes their way and make the most of it. For natives with Vapi Yoga, all the good things that they are going to have in their lives come of their own accord and in their own time, searching, seeking or demanding generally go unrewarded. These natives have the inner security necessary to make the most of the good that comes into their lives. Vajra thunderbolt Yoga: All benefics in the lagna and 7th house, and all malefics in 4th and 10th houses. One born in Vajra Yoga will be happy in the beginning and end of life. One is lovely, charming, valorous and a great warrior. One is free from sickness but unfortunate, devoid of desires, and inimical to his own people. In middle life one is given to sensual pleasures and wrath and is devoid of fortunes. Vajra means the hard or mighty one it refers to Indra's thunderbolt, but also means thunderbolts in general as well as diamonds. Natives with this yoga are extremely powerful, but the malefic concentration on the 4th house can make them somewhat hard-hearted. The middle life is the worst period of life as in this time the malefic planets in the 4th and 10th houses will be more active. Natives with Vajra Yoga generally get many good things in life and
