Ravi yoga
Defnition.-The Sun should join the t0rh and
the lord of the lOth must be in the 3rd in conjunction
with Saturn.
Results.-Respected by rulers, well versed in sciences, becoming famous after the 15th year, highly passionate,liking simple food, possessing lotus-like
eyes and well-developed chest.
Remarks.-Each rule has an exception. Whilst Saturn’s association with any favourable horoscope element is not desirable, under this Yoga, the 10th
lord should occupy the third in conjunction with Saturn. In the course of his Dasa, Saturn, under such a combination, would be capable of giving highly favourable results. Ravi Yoga comprehends a point of contact between the Sun, Saturn, the 10th and 3rd houses. The Sun should occupy the 10th, while the 10th lord should be in the third with Saturn. For Mesha, Vrishabha and Vrischika Lagnas, Ravi Yoga cannot at all be said to exist in its real sense. For Dhanus, Makara, Simha and Kanya Lagnas, Ravi Yoga would be almost impossible because in these cases the 10th lord happens to be either Mercury or Venus; when the Sun is in the 10th, Mercury or Venus cannot be in the 3rd from Lagna as it implies a distance of nearly 150 to 180 degrees from the Sun which is astronomically impossible. In view of the
above explanations, one can easily see that Ravi Yoga is indeed of rare occurrence.
