To find out the Yoga point one should add 3—3-20 to the sum total of the longitude of the Sun and the Moon. Where 3 stands for the 3 Rasis, 3-20 stands for 3 degrees 20 minutes. This is
done because the first Yoga commences with the Nakshatra Pushyami located in the fourth Rasi at 3° 20’.

In the examples given above,
Sun’s position is 23-14
Moon‘s position is 1-10-34
+ 3-3-20
Total 6-17-08

Hence the birth Yoga point will be 17° 3’ ’lhula. This coincides with the position of the Nakshatra Swati, whose ududasa lord is Rahu, who therefore becomes the Birth Yogi. The yoga which
corresponds to the Nakshatra Swati is Dhriti. Every yoga is associated with certain personality traits which are likely to be found in the individual born under that particular yoga. They are
