Basis for yoga formation

[Guest guest]

Dear Nimmi,

 

Hello and thanx for your clarifications. Solai's

answer, followed by Sanjayji's explanation along with

your mail had cleared my doubts.

 

You know, right now, I am at a juncture, where I read

quite a lot, but assimilate only a part of it. The

rest percolates randomly, over a period of time. But,

Guruji's gentle rebuke yesterday reminded me that I

must concentrate more and aim for comprehensive

understanding.

 

Now, I have another doubt. While pondering over

Gajakesari Yoga yesterday, I was wondering whether

Jupiter+moon combination gives it the effect of

Jupiter in Cancer(exaltation sign). I was trying to

recall similar combinations and found that

Moon-Venus(Moon in Taurus-exaltation sign) and

Saturn-Venus (Saturn in Libra-exaltation sign)

combinations have also been much talked about.

 

Is it so for Sun-Mars(Aries), Mars-Saturn(Capricorn)

and Venus-Jupiter(Pisces)too?

 

If this is so, then notwithstanding the lordships of

houses, these combinations will always prove to be

auspicious.

 

I request you, other friends on the list and Gurudeva,

if possible to enlighten me on this point.

 

Regards,

Lakshmi
