Dhurdhura Yoga
Definition.-If there are planets on either side of the Moon, the combination goes under the name of Dhurdhura.
Results.-The native is bountiful. He will be blessed with much wealth and conveyances.
Remarks.-Whatever may be the results ascribed to different yogas, one important truth emerges, that is, the person gets money, power, fame and reputation of varying gradations. This, of course, does not apply to strictly Parivraja Yogas. Many varieties of Sunapha, Anapha and f) Dhurdhura are formed by permutations and combinations of the five planets and their results should be particularly noted. If Mars is in the 2nd and Mercury is in the l2th a kind of Dhurdhura is formed. Similarly Mars in the l2th
and Mercury in the 2nd gives rise to another kind and Jupiter in the 2nd and Mercury in the 12th gives rise to yet another type though all these go under the name of Dhurdhura. Each conjunction in these permutations produce different results. To give a simple illustration take Mars in the 2nd in Capricorn where he is exalted and Jupiter in the 12th in Scorpio
in a friendly sign. Now take Jupiter in the 2nd (Debilitated) and Mars in the l2th (in his own house).
Would the results in both cases be the same? All these permutations must be carefully analysed. here will be thirty-one varieties of Sunapha, and an equal number of Anapha combinations and there are something like 180 varieties of Dhurdhura. For fuller details refer to the English Translation of
