We’ll Be Exploring Vedic Astrology’s Use of Certain Specific Combinations of Factors in Chart Interpretation
One of the most intriguing and valuable features of Jyotish is its vast canon of ‘Yogas’ and associated aphorisms. The word yoga essentially means to join or unite, and here can be translated as an astrological combination or ‘union of factors’ with specific implications. The Yogas of Jyotish are the fruit of centuries of observation, codified into a rich body of lore regarding the effects of several hundreds of possible permutations of the heavens.
Some are simple, and yet useful, and their purported meaning would be unsurprising and even familiar to a western astrologer, due to all the DNA shared by western and vedic astrology. Others are a lot more complex, and may involve linking or synthesizing factors in the chart that a superficial analysis would easily overlook. These yogas are therefore a type of analytical tool, or a means to inculcate certain analytical habits that will reveal the presence of notable patterns in a chart.
Apart from the obvious utility of having various special indications in a chart ‘canonized’ and memorized, through studying the yogas the more general rules and principles of Jyotish are further elucidated for the student. Clues are given regarding how the more basic rules of Jyotish can be more expertly used in chart interpretation and chart synthesis, beyond the strict confines of the formalized yogas.
