2.13 Nalika Yoga: If 5^th lord is in 9^th house and 9^th & 11^th lord are in 2^nd house with Moon in Lagna or in 2^nd house, this yoga is formed. Such a native is very creative in approach, highly intelligent, wealthy and eloquent speaker.

2.14 Sangeet Yoga: If 2^nd house and 2^nd lord are related with 5^th house, 5^th lord and Venus, this yoga is formed. The 2^nd house rules over speech and 5^th, over all fine arts & entertainment/ amusements. Venus is the natural karaka for music. Jatak Parijaat (7-158) has given another definition of this yoga. As per this, this yoga is formed if Jupiter is posited in 2^nd or 5^th house with Venus or Jupiter or both or Jupiter is in 2^nd or 5^th house in sign of Venus/ Mercury with Mercury/ Venus. Such a native will be expert in music and allied arts.

The native was a famous Music director of Hindi films, known for his hilarious & comedy music. In the chart Saturn, the 5^th lord, is in 2^nd house with 2^nd lord Mars. This Mars aspected 5^th house and lagna lord Venus therein. Thus Venus is intimately related to both 2^nd and 5^th house. In addition, there was Gajkesari yoga in 4^th house and Kedar (Nabhas) yoga. He made his debut as composer in Hindi film “Kaneez” in 1949, and there after for next 25 years or so he was a leading music director.

2.15 Sankha Yoga: This yoga has two variants. Either the 5^th and 6^th lord should be in mutual Kendra and lagna lord is strong; or the lords of lagna and 10^th house be positioned in movable sign and 9^th lord is strong. A native born with this yoga is kind hearted, virtuous, very learned, well versed in scriptures, morally sound, wealthy, blessed with good wife & children, fond of pleasures and lives up to a good old age. This yoga may confer on the native the authority to discipline or punish.

The native was Prime Minister of Israel twice in 2001 and again in 2003 till his death. He had 5^th lord exalted Moon in mutual Kendra with 6^th lord Sun in 12^th house denoting Vipreet Rajyoga, but presence of number of enemies all the same. His Lagna lord Jupiter is very strong being Digbali 1-10^th lord in lagna in identical degrees as lagna; thus conferring Sankha yoga on him. He was kind hearted with a military background (exalted Mars in 11^th house). He was wealthy, learned, well versed in scriptures and enjoyed his life fully.

2.16 Saraswati Yoga: If Jupiter, Venus and Mercury occupy Kendra, Trikone or 2^nd house jointly or severally, with Jupiter being in friendly, own, or exaltation sign, the combination is called after the goddess of learning as “Saraswati Yoga”. One born in this yoga is highly learned, scholarly, very well versed in prose, poetry and in sacred scriptures, rich, praised by all, and with good wife & children.

The native has Venus & Mercury in 2^nd house of Speech & wealth and Jupiter is in 5^th house in exaltation, thus conferring Saraswati yoga on native. In addition, there are two exchange yogas of lagna lord Jupiter & 5^th lord Moon and 2^nd lord Mars & 4^th lord Mercury. These have caused a great Rajyogas. These yogas have made him a great creative genius. The combination of exalted Sun, 3^rd lord Venus and 4^th lord Mercury in 2^nd house caused another Gyan yoga. These yogas made him a great poet, writer, singer, dramatics, painter and philosopher. Combust 8^th lord Venus aspected by Rahu caused his wife to die early in 1901.

2.17 Sharda Yoga: This has two variants. This yoga can be formed if either 10^th lord should be in 5^th house, and strong Mercury & Sun occupy their own house or a Kendra; or Jupiter & Mercury occupy a Trikone house from Moon & Mars respectively and Mercury be in 11^th house from Jupiter. The  native born in this yoga is learned, virtuous, favoured by rulers, blessed with comforts, and enjoying company of spouse and relations.

2.18 Vidhi Yoga: If 2^nd, 6^th, and 9^th houses or their lords are related with Mercury, Jupiter & Saturn, Vidhi yoga is formed. A native born with this yoga will be a legal luminary either as a lawyer or a judge.

The native is a leading law expert and senior advocate of Supreme Court. In his chart lagna & 2^nd lord Saturn conjoins 6^th-9^th lord exalted Mercury in 9^th house. The 3^rd-12^th lord Jupiter conjoins 7^th lord Moon in 10^th house to form Gajkesari yoga and aspects 2^nd & 6^th house. Thus it makes a clean Vidhi yoga. Combust Venus in 8^th house caused his wife to die early. The Venus is 5^th lord and is depositor of Jupiter as well. Hence he has only one daughter, who is also a leading lawyer. His strong 9^th and 10^th houses gave him a prominent political role also. He has been member of Rajya Sabha and union law minister under BJP rule.
