Kendra-Trikona Adhipati Yoga Calculator

Kendras - the 1st, 4th, 7th and 10th - are the houses of action and structure, described as the pillars of a chart. Trikonas - the 1st, 5th and 9th - are the houses of fortune and grace. Classical astrology holds that power without grace is hollow and grace without action is unrealised, so a link between the two lords is the archetypal Raja Yoga.

By conjunction, mutual aspect or a sign exchange. All three count, though a conjunction in a strong house is generally read as the most direct. The tighter the connection and the better placed the planets, the more the yoga actually delivers.

Quite common - many charts carry at least one such link, and some carry several. This is the honest context for a result: forming a Kendra-Trikona Raja Yoga puts you in a large group, and what distinguishes one chart from another is the strength and placement of the planets forming it, not the mere presence of the yoga.

The usual weakening factors: either lord debilitated, combust, in the 6th, 8th or 12th, or hemmed between malefics. There is also the Kendradhipati principle, where a natural benefic ruling a Kendra loses some of its benefic quality - the Kendradhipati check covers that specifically.

During the dasha or antardasha of the planets forming it, which is the standard rule for every yoga. A Raja Yoga whose planets never get a dasha in a normal lifespan is one reason two people with the same yoga have very different lives. Check the Vimshottari timeline for when yours falls.

A yogakaraka is one planet that already owns a kendra (4, 7 or 10) and a trikona (5 or 9), so the yoga is the planet rather than a meeting. Only six Lagnas have one. This checker looks for two lords connecting. The Raja Yoga guide names the yoga karaka for each rising sign.
