Kalanidhi Yoga
Definition.-Jupiter must join or be aspected by Mercury and Venus either in the 2nd or in the 5th house ; Jupiter must occupy the 2nd or 5th identical with the swakshetra of Mercury or Venus.
Results.-Highly passionate, good natured, feared by kings, commanding different kinds of conveyances and all sorts of aristocratic paraphernalia and immune from disease.
Remarks.-Kalanidhi Yoga, based on our own humble observations, seems to arise not so much by the disposition of Jupiter with Mercury or Venus in
their signs as by the conjunction of Mercury, Jupiter and Venus in the 2nd or 5th. Moreover, where Kalanidhi Yoga is really powerful, the subject seems to enjoy alternate periods of adversity and prosperity. There is no suggestion to this effect in any of the ancient writings but I am venturing an opinion based on my own observations. This is a pucca Raja Yoga because of the conjunction of three benefics in the house of wealth or fortune. I have also been able to observe that Kalanidhi Yoga could result if Jupiter
is either with Mercury or with Venus or with both Mercury and Venus not only in the 2nd and the 5th but in the 9th also inasmuch as the 9th is the house of fortune.
