Sakata Yoga
Definition.-The Moon in the 12th, 6th or 8th from Jupiter gives rise to Sakata Yoga.
Results.-The native loses fortune and may regain it. He will be ordinary and insignificant. He will suffer from poverty, privation and misery. He will be stubborn and hated by relatives.
Remarks.-While the generality of astrological writers hold that Sakata Yoga is productive of evil results, there is difference of opinion as regards the definition of this Yoga. The great Parasara and Varahamihira say that when all the planets are in the 1st and 7th, Sakata is caused. Prof. Rao opines that this definition leaves room for doubt as to why it should be the 7th. On the contrary, the definition given above appears more reasonable in as much as the Yoga is generated by the Moon occupying the three Dusthanas from the greatest benefic Jupiter thus obstructing the free flow of fortune ; but it is also open to objection as will be seen from the following observations :–
In the large number of horoscopes examined by me I have been able to mark that Sakata yoga has not really made the natives poor and wretched but often the degree of poverty and wretchedness has been nominal. I have a work entitled Sukranadi which says that one born in Sakata will have his fortune obstructed now and then. The exact words used are “Sakatalogajatasya Yogobhangam padepade”.
The periods of misfortune will accord with the times of transits in malefic Rasis, viz., 6th, 8th and 12th. In other words, every time the Moon transits the 6th, 8th and l2th from the radical Jupiter, the effects of Sakata are realised. According to the definition given above, Sakata is caused by the Moon being placed in the 6th or 8th or 12th from Jupiter. When one planet is in the 8th from the other, naturally the other will be in the 6th.
