Dhanus - Bow Yoga Calculator
What is Dhanus Yoga?
Dhanus Yoga — "the bow", also called Chaapa — is one of the Naabhasa "shape" (Aakriti) yogas. It forms when all seven grahas are confined to the seven houses from the 10th to the 4th (10th, 11th, 12th, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th). The planetary arc runs from career through the self and into home, like a drawn bow spanning action and base.
The yoga is associated with aim and drive, skill with weapons or tools, and success that comes in bursts. Such a person often has a clear target, technical or martial skill, and periods of sharp achievement separated by quieter stretches — the release of the bow rather than a constant push. Focused effort at the right moment matters more than scattered activity.
Dignity of the planets in that 10th-to-4th band decides how clean the aim is and how lasting the gains. Benefic strength supports skilled success; heavy affliction can make the bursts more restless. The relevant Dasha periods mark when the bow is drawn and released. Enter exact birth details so the house band is judged correctly, and read Dhanus within the complete chart. Focused aim at the right moment, rather than constant scattered effort, is how this bow yoga usually succeeds.
