Surya - Chandra Yoga Calculator
What is Surya-Chandra Yoga?
Surya-Chandra Yoga forms when the Sun (Surya) and Moon (Chandra) are conjunct in the same sign or aspect each other. The Sun is the soul, willpower and the father; the Moon is the mind, emotions and the mother. Their link ties conscious purpose to inner feeling, giving self-awareness, a focused and integrated personality, and a strong sense of identity.
When the two sit in the same sign it is a new-moon (Amavasya) birth, where the Moon is dim — strengthening the Moon through calm routines and remedies helps it shine. When they are opposite each other it is a full-moon (Poornima) birth, with a bright, expressive mind. Soul and mind either merge or face each other across the chart.
The final result depends on the strength of both luminaries, the houses involved and the running Dasha. Enter exact birth details so the relationship is precise, and read Surya-Chandra within the whole chart. Integration of will and feeling is the everyday work of this yoga, whether the birth is new-moon quiet or full-moon bright. New-moon births need extra Moon care; full-moon births need to balance a bright, expressive mind with rest. Either way, the work is to keep will and feeling in honest conversation with each other.
