Chandra Yogas (Sunaphaa Yoga, Anaphaa Yoga, Duradhara Yoga, Kemadruma Yoga, Chandra-Mangala Yoga, Adhi Yoga)
Chandra yogas are the lunar combinations. There are several yogas based on Moon.
General Guidelines:
(1) If Moon is in a quadrant from Sun, then one may possess little wealth, intelligence and skills. If Moon is in a panapara from Sun, then one may possess average wealth, intelligence and skills. If Moon is in an apoklima from Sun, then one may possess a lot of wealth, intelligence and skills.
(2) If Moon is in own navamsa or that of an adhimitra (good friend), that is good. In such a situation, aspect of Jupiter on Moon beings wealth and comforts in the case of daytime birth (respectively). The same result is given by Venusian aspect on Moon in the case of night birth. On the other hand, Jupiter’s aspect on Moon in a night birth and Venusian aspect on Moon in a daytime birth are detrimental to one’s wealth and comforts.
(3) If all the natural benefics occupy upachayas (3rd, 6th, 10th and 11th) from Moon, one has great wealth. If two benefics occupy upachayas from Moon, the native has medium wealth. If only one benefic occupies an upachaya from Moon, the native has little wealth.
