Chatra - Umbrella Yoga Calculator
What is Chatra Yoga?
Chatra Yoga — "the umbrella" — is one of the Naabhasa "shape" (Aakriti) yogas. It forms when all seven grahas are confined to the seven houses from the 7th to the 1st (7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th and 1st). The planetary load sits under that arc, leaving the early houses of the chart emptier of the main grahas.
Like a sheltering umbrella, the yoga is said to give protection, kindness, a helpful nature and comforts that grow through life. Such a person often becomes a support for others, finds that shelter and goodwill arrive when needed, and sees material ease improve with age rather than peak only in youth. Generosity and a protective instinct toward dependents are common traits.
Because the planets occupy that 7th-to-1st band, partnership, fortune, career and the self dominate the story. Dignity of those planets decides how steady the shelter is. The relevant Dasha periods mark when the protection and comforts are most felt. Enter exact birth details so the house band is accurate, and read Chatra within the whole chart as a shape yoga that describes a pattern of care more than a single event. Protection that grows with age is the signature comfort this umbrella yoga is known for.
