Dusthana Yogas — Harsha, Sarala & Vimala
What happens when the lords of dusthana houses (6L, 8L, 12L) occupy their own houses. Harsha Yoga (6L in 6H): victory over enemies and disease. Sarala Yoga (8L in 8H): protection from catastrophe. Vimala Yoga (12L in 12H): contentment and release from debt.
"D7 works beautifully. As long as you have the right lagna, things just work beautifully. But D3 is something I am suspicious about — you sometimes have to explain things away and satisfy yourself even though it does not make perfect sense."
— P.V.R. Narasimha Rao
Harsha, Sarala, Vimala Yogas (Dusthana Lords in Own Houses)
These are three special Viparita (reversed) Raja Yogas formed when dusthana lords are in their own signs:
| Yoga | Condition | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Harsha | 6th lord in 6th house | Person is cheerful, always happy, very peaceful, at peace with themselves |
| Sarala | 8th lord in 8th house | Person is straightforward, very honest; no hidden agenda; doesn't beat around the bush |
| Vimala | 12th lord in 12th house | Person gives things away happily; purity of purpose; contented; does not want much |
— PVNR"Vimala means unfallible/pure. 12th house is the house of giving. If the 12th lord is in 12th house, they can give very happily. That means they don't want anything — they are contented. So 12th lord in 12th house is a combination for contentment and purity of purpose."
PVNR's yogas in D-7:
- Sarala Yoga: Mars (8L from Gemini: 8H = Capricorn; lord = Mars) is in Capricorn (own sign, 8H) → PVNR is very straightforward, very honest. Does not play games.
- Vimala Yoga: Venus (12L from Gemini: 12H = Taurus; lord = Venus) in Taurus (own sign, 12H) → Very contented regarding children; gives happily.
— PVNR"I have Sarala yoga. I am very straightforward. I don't like beating around the bush or playing games or saying something when you are here and something different when you are not. That is the Sarala yoga quality."
