Chapa Yoga Calculator
What is Chapa Yoga?
Chapa Yoga — "the bow" — forms when the lords of the 4th and 10th houses exchange signs or sit in mutual Kendras, especially when the Lagna lord is strong. It links the axis of home, comfort and inner contentment (the 4th) with career, status and action in the world (the 10th), so the two support each other.
The yoga is associated with wealth, comforts, protection from harm and a courageous, fortunate life. Such a person tends to enjoy both a settled domestic base and a successful public role, drawing strength from one to fuel the other, and often shows a steady bravery — like a drawn bow — that carries them safely through challenges. Because home and career reinforce each other, a setback in one area is usually cushioned by strength in the other.
Because it hinges on the 4th–10th connection, the dignity of those two lords and the strength of the Lagna lord determine how fully the comforts and protection appear; a weak ascendant ruler mutes the promise. The Dasha periods of the 4th and 10th lords bring the home-and-career benefits forward. As with all yogas built on house lords, read it within the whole chart, and enter exact birth details so the lords and their relationship are identified correctly.
