Results.-:When native becomes a ruler or an equal to him, in wealth, power and influence.
Remarks.-Raja Yogas like any other yogas have to be adopted to suit modern conditions. Most of the Raja Yogas mentioned in classical works must have been framed, when monarchical forms of rule were the order of the day. But now in this age of ‘democracy’, when Kingship as an institution has been practically wiped out, the presence of Raja Yogas need not suggest that one would become a ruler. A powerful Raja Yoga may confer a position
equal to that of a king. There are different grades of Raja Yoga capable of conferring different degrees of political power. If the Raja Yoga planets are intimately connected with the Sun and the Moon, political power may result. If the Raja Yoga planets are connected with Mars, one may become a dictator or a Commander-in-Chief. It would require quite a good deal of study and investigation before one could definitely say in what manner a particular Raja Yoga is likely to manifest.
