Vasumathi Yoga
Definition.–lf benefics occupy the upachayas (3,6, 10 and 11) either from the ascendant or from the Moon, the combination goes under the name of Vasumathi Yoga.
Results.-The person will not be a dependent but will always command plenty of rvealth.
Renmrks.-Vasumathi Yoga has more to do with wealth than with anything else. The Vasumathi resulting from the Lagna seems to have more influence than the one formed with reference to the Moon. By implication it also means that two benefics will give less wealth while only one benefic will give ordinary wealth. If the upachayas happen to be exaltation places, the yoga becomes extremely powerful while the reverse holds good in case the upachayas happen to be debilitation places. When counted from the Moon all the four upachayas cannot be occupied because there will be only three benefics left. The authorities are silent on the matter and they simply say that the upachayas should be occupied. Varaha-mihira seems to go so far as to assert that predictions made according to ordinary combinations may sometimes fail but the results predicted by Yasumathi Yoga do not fail. In all such planetary combinations, one must be very careful in assessing the rcal strength of a yoga and see if its results have already been comprehended by some other more powerful yogas. It will be seen that purely Yasumathi Yogas are a rare occurrence. You will find very few examples in which benefics are in all the upachayas.
Even when benefics are in upachayas, thcy will be found to be associated with or aspected by malefics and due allowance must be made for such evil dispositions.
