Raj yogas in astrology are auspicious formations that signify powerful planetary alignment within a person’s horoscope. The formation of these Rajyogas generally involves the ninth, tenth, second, and eleventh house and their house-lords, exaltation signs, and exaltation lords. There are many types of different Rajyogas that can be formed in a horoscope. The placement of the lord of the sixth, eighth, and twelfth house in any one of the other two houses of the horoscope leads to the formation of Vipreet Rajyoga. This is the prevalent definition of this Rajyoga in Vedic astrology. However, there are also other conditions to be met, which we will be seeing in this post.
Generally, benefic yogas are formed by benefic planets and not by malefic planets. But Vipreet Rajyoga is believed to be formed due to malefic planets placed in adverse circumstances. Also, each type of Vipreet Rajyoga produces beneficial results through adverse circumstances. This means that the native, under the strong influence of Vipreet Rajyoga, may achieve benefits through situations that may be destructive.
Facts Related to the Formation of Vipreet Rajyoga
If Aries rises as an ascendant in a horoscope, it means that Virgo falls into the sixth house and Mercury becomes the lord of the sixth house. The probability of placement of Mercury in two specific houses, which are the twelfth and eighth houses, out of the twelve houses in total, is 2 in 12. Hence, the probability for the formation of one type of Vipreet Rajyoga in a horoscope is about 6 in 12. In some cases, two or three of the lords may be placed together in a single house.
As per these calculations, Vipreet Rajyoga is formed in every second horoscope. This means that every second person should witness the benefits associated with Vipreet Rajyoga, but this does not hold true in real life. This means that the prevalent definition of Vipreet Rajyoga lacks something. Let us see what it is.
A Closer Look at Vipreet Rajyoga Formation
Generally, the lord of the eighth, sixth, and twelfth houses has a high tendency to produce malefic results. However, this should not be taken as a fixed rule since any rule can change depending on the overall theme of the horoscope. Thus, under specific conditions, even the lords of the three houses may work as functional benefic planets in a horoscope. This theory also tells us that under specific conditions, the lord of the benefic houses may behave as functional malefic planets in a horoscope.
These specific conditions, as a whole, are called the overall theme of the horoscope. Each horoscope has the potential to make its own set of specific conditions and can turn supposedly benefic planets into malefic ones and vice versa. This is one of the most important aspects of a horoscope.
The Bottom Line
For the formation of Vipreet Rajyoga, the condition of placement of lords of specific houses in certain houses should be considered as an eligibility criterion. Once this criterion is fulfilled, the primary condition for its formation can be considered, which is the overall theme of the horoscope being supportive of its formation. The Rajyoga may not form in such a horoscope unless the condition is met after the eligibility criterion is met.
