Vahana Yogas
Definition.–The lord of Lagna must join the 4th,
llth or the 9th-A.
The 4th lord must be exalted and the lord of the
exaltation sign must occupy a kendra or trikona-B.
Results . The native will acquire material comforts and conveyances.
Remarks.-In the modern world, vahana must refer to bicycles and automobiles and not to the time-honoured carriages drawn by horses or palanquins carried by bearers. Any person of average means can possess a bicycle, but very few can afford to own an automobile. Therefore, there must be some distinct combinations present in a horoscope to enable the subject to acquire a vahana. The lord of Lagna must not only join the 4th, 9th or 11th but must be equally strong. Otherwise, the yoga cannot function properly.
The following observations may also be noted:-
Vahanakaraka is Venus and Vahanasthana is the 4th. Therefore, if Venus joins the 4th with the 4th lord, the person could possess ordinary vehicles. If
Venus or lord of the 4th is in the 11th or 9th, the native will possess a number of conveyances. If the 4th lord is connected with the Moon, then the person will have carriages drawn by horses or motor cars in modern parlance.
