Taking another example, suppose Jupiter is placed in the fifth house of a horoscope in Sagittarius, in Cancer navamsha of Moola nakshatra; and exalted Moon is placed in the tenth house in Taurus, in Cancer navamsha of Rohini nakshatra. Both Jupiter and Moon are strong in their respective signs as well as in navamshas. Hence strong Shakat Yoga may be formed.
Let’s look at influences of other planets as well as the overall theme of horoscope on this yoga. Suppose in the same horoscope; benefic Venus and Mars are placed in the tenth house in Taurus, along with Moon. Both these planets may collectively be much stronger than Moon and they may reduce negativity of Moon to a great extent. Hence the strength of Shakat Yoga may be reduced significantly. Accordingly, the native may not suffer much due to this yoga. On the contrary, he may witness good results related to profession; along with other good results.
Suppose benefic exalted Sun and Mercury form Budhaditya Yoga in the ninth house in Aries, Saturn is placed in the eighth house in Pisces, Rahu is placed in the sixth house in Capricorn and Ketu is placed in the twelfth house in Cancer. The horoscope becomes much better in this case. Sun and Mercury may add a lot of strength to the ninth house as well as to the entire horoscope since Sun rules the first house. Hence the native may witness good results related to many spheres of his life and the spheres of profession, health, lifespan and finances may benefit the most.
Let’s see what may happen when this yoga is influenced by malefic planets. Suppose Jupiter in the fifth house in Sagittarius and Moon in the tenth house in Taurus form Shakat Yoga in a horoscope. Suppose malefic Rahu is placed in the fifth house with Jupiter, malefic Ketu is placed in the eleventh house in Gemini and malefic Saturn is placed in the tenth house in Taurus with Moon. A combination of Sun and Mercury is placed in the twelfth house in Cancer, debilitated Venus is placed in the second house in Virgo and Mars is placed in the seventh house in Aquarius.
Sun and Mercury are benefic but they are weak in Cancer and they are placed in a difficult house. Hence they may not contribute much to the overall horoscope. Mars is not strong in Aquarius and Venus is debilitated. Rahu may form Guru Chandal Yoga by afflicting Jupiter. Saturn and Moon may collectively cause serious damage to the tenth house. As a result; Shakat Yoga may gain a lot of extra strength and the native may suffer from a wide variety of problems. Among them; the problems related to health, lifespan, finances and profession may be the most troublesome ones.
After this, the field of impact of this yoga is checked. It is checked through the placements of Jupiter and Moon in various houses of horoscope. Taking an example, suppose Jupiter is placed in the tenth house of a horoscope in Taurus and Moon is placed in the fifth house in Sagittarius. Since Jupiter and Moon are placed in the tenth and fifth house respectively; such Shakat Yoga may primarily cause problems related to profession, reputation, authority, children and love life.
