What is Durdhara Yoga?
Durdhara Yoga (also written Durudhara) is a lunar yoga that forms when planets other than the Sun and the lunar nodes occupy both the 2nd and the 12th house from the Moon, so the Moon is flanked on both sides. It is the lunar counterpart of Ubhayachara around the Sun, and it gives the mind a sense of being supported from both the resourceful and the restful directions.
The yoga is said to give wealth, generosity, comforts, good vehicles and a charitable nature. Such a person often enjoys material ease without becoming tight-fisted, and finds that comforts and conveyances come fairly readily. There is usually a warm, giving temperament that shares what it has, so prosperity tends to circulate rather than stagnate.
The planets that flank the Moon colour the result — benefics refine the ease and charity, while malefics can add restlessness or expense even while preserving the overall support. The Moon's own strength and the relevant Dasha periods decide how fully the comforts appear. Because everything is counted from the Moon, an accurate birth time is essential. Read Durdhara within the complete chart rather than in isolation. When the flanking planets are strong and friendly, the comforts and generosity tend to last through several stages of life.
