3.11 If Jupiter aspects Moon posited in a Kendra other than lagna, a Rajyoga is formed. The Moon in lagna has presumably been excluded because it does not allow wealth & prosperity to remain stable due to its highly mobile and changeable nature.

3.12 Jupiter in lagna, Mercury in any Kendra aspected by Lagna lord forms strong Raj yoga.

3.13 Jupiter in 5^th, 7^th or 9^th house aspected by Lagna lord makes native as lucky as a king.

The native was 1^st President of USA. He had Jupiter in 5^th house aspected by exalted Lagna lord Venus. He successfully fought for independence of USA and became its 1^st President of USA during dasha of Jupiter-Venus.

3.14 An exalted Saturn posited in a Trikone house and aspected by 10^th lord gives a native very high status/position in the society.

3.15 If lord of 2^nd, 9^th or 11^th is in Kendra to Moon, it forms a Raj yoga. If more than one lord is in Kendra, it will give better results. In chart No. 27 above, Sun as 9^th lord and venus as 11^th lord in Kendra from the Moon, producing Raj yoga. Similarly if Jupiter, as lord of 2^nd, 9^th or 11^th house is in Kendra from Moon, it also forms Raj yoga.

3.16 The lord of 5^th (9^th from 9^th), 6^th (9^th from 10^th and 10^th from 9^th), 7^th (10^th from 10^th), 9^th, and 10^th lords are in their own sign, it forms Raj yoga, and makes native wealthy, famous and prosper like a king.

3.17 If Mercury, Jupiter & Venus are in Kendra/ Trikone houses with Mars in 10^th house, it causes a great Raj yoga.

3.18 As per Sarvarth Chintamani, the fame and power, accrued as a result of Poorva Janam & this Janam’s Karma are also denoted by 2^nd house/lord, since 2^nd house is 5^th from 10^th and 10^th from 5^th house. Some of the prominent Raj yogas involving 2^nd house/lord are:

1. Lords of 2^nd & 5^th house No. 2, 5, 9 or 10.

The native had 2^nd lord Venus & 5^th lord Saturn in 9^th house and four planets including lagna-10^th lord Mercury, 4-7^th lord Jupiter, Sun & Moon in 10^th house. His Raj yoga manifested from the dasha of Mercury (in star war series) till date in Venus dasha.

2. Lords of 2^nd & 11^th in 10^th house.

3.19 Some other Raj yogas are:

1. Rahu alone in 4^th, 5^th, 10^th or 11^th house in his own dasha.

2. Conjunction or mutual aspects of lords of 8^th & 9^th (only during dasha of 8^th lord) or lords of 10^th & 11^th (only during dasha of 11^th lord).

3. Venus & Moon in 3^rd house.

3.20 Conjunction/ mutual aspect/ exchange between lord of 9^th & 10^th from Moon or Sun also produces Raj yoga.

3.21 Exalted strong Saturn in a Kendra if conjunct or aspected by Jupiter and/or Mercury, gives native name, fame & wealth like a king. Amitabh Bachhan has lagna lord Saturn in 4^th house aspecting exalted Jupiter in 6^th house.

3.22 If unafflicted lords of 4^th, 5^th, 6^th & 7^th houses aspect lagna from auspicious houses, a king is produced.

The native was one of the youngest and most popular President of USA. His lagna is aspected by 4-7^th lord Jupiter associated with 9^th lord Venus from 9^th house and 5-6^th lord Saturn from 11^th house. Both Jupiter and Saturn are neither combust, nor debilitated nor under malefic influence. In addition he also he had Gajkesari yoga in 9^th & 12^th houses.

4. Important Raj Yogas from Jaimini

4.1 There are many Raj yogas suggested by sage Jaimini. In most of the cases, the role of/ relation between Atmakaraka, Amatyakaraka, 5^th lord, lagna, lagna-pad, and Karkamsha are significant. Some of the Raj yogas are as under:

1. The relation between Atma-karaka & lagna is one of the best Raj yoga. If placed together in one sign (in natal/ Navamsha lagna), or aspecting each other, it makes the native very fortunate like a king. In chart No 2 of JL Nehru, Atmakaraka Moon also Lagna lord was placed in Lagna, making him Prime Minister of India during dasha of Moon.

2. Conjunction of lords of lagna & 5^th house in sign of exaltation/own, gives strong Raj yoga.

3. Atmakaraka & Amatyakaraka together or in mutual aspect.

4. Atmakaraka and 5^th lord together or in mutual aspect.

5. If Amatyakaraka is placed in a Kendra/ Trikone/ 11^th house from Atmakaraka, in birth/ Navamsha chart, one attains very high position in life.

6. Benefic planets in 2^nd, 4^th, & 5^th house from langa or Atmakaraka gives name, fame & power & honour.

7. Conjunction or aspect of exalted planets on lagna, Moon lagna, Navamsha lagna or Karkamsha lagna, gives strong Raj yoga.

4.2 Other important Raj yogas in Jaimini system are as under:

1. Atmakaraka/ Amatyakaraka/ 5^th lord together with or in mutual aspect with Putrakaraka, / Darakaraka.

2. The Moon & Venus together or in mutual aspect.

3. If Moon is apected by many planets, it is an excellent Raj yoga.

4. If two or all of Brava lagna, Hora lagna, Ghatika lagna are aspected by exalted planets.

4.3 Let us see two example charts;

The native had Atmakaraka Mercury with Amatyakaraka Venus, lagna lord Sun, 5^th lord Jupiter & Moon. He also had conjunction of Moon & Venus in Lagna. During the Antar dasha of 5^th lord Jupiter in the dasha of Rahu, he had great Raj yoga manifested in his life, making him Prime minister of India at a young age of 40 suddenly.

Case 2.

The native has Atmakarka Sun with Amatyakaraka Mercury in 9^th house aspected by Jupiter from 5^th house, Darakaraka Moon and 5^th lord & Putrakaraka Saturn. This causes a great Raj yoga. In 5^th house from lagna-pad, there are three planets Sun, Mercury & Mars, indicating fame, power & honour. Again Jupiter in 5^th house is aspected by Jaimini aspect by five planets (Sun, Mercury & Mars, Saturn and Moon from fixed signs) denoting another Raj yoga. She had Ra yoga manifested from the dasha of Amatyakaraka Mercury, when she was selected for IPS in 1972.
