Sankhya Yoga

Sankhya Yoga is a concept in Jyotish presenting the big picture potential of an astrological birth chart as a number from one through seven. The number stems from the number of signs occupied by the seven classical planets.

Introduction

The seven Sankhya Yogas define seven distinct types of character. Two astrological concepts help define their internal motivations, innate powers, strengths and weaknesses. The first is essential dignity and is familiar to all astrologers. The second is a concept relatively unknown outside of Jyotish.

First let us distinguish between power as the capacity to affect our environment, the scope of our existence and impact on the world, and strength of character, the knowledge we have of ourselves, our awareness, as the quality defining how we use this power.

While an increase in knowledge yields a corresponding increase in power, it is not necessary to have knowledge to wield power. Power that does not correspond to knowledge shows itself as arrogance, stubbornness, pointless self-assertion, and abilities to take charge, override, manipulate, or simply mislead. Higher powers that do correspond to knowledge lead to some degree of satisfaction, happiness or greatness and include those of reason, understanding, and knowledge itself.

In astrology both power and strength are primarily indicated by planets placed in their own realms of excellence. Such planets have full essential dignity and bestow optimum results. Planets placed in signs opposite their own have no essential dignity and give no good results at all. For the Sankhya Yogas it is the essential dignity of Saturn in the signs ruled by the planet associated with a particular yoga that limits their ultimate expressions and peak success rates.

When planets are joined together in one sign or house, at least one is more or less out of place. To make things worse they all have to share the same energy. This gives rise to an internal power struggle called a planetary war. How much character suffers as a result of such a conflict depends on the exact planets involved and the essential dignity of the winner. Power on the other hand is always greatly reduced.

Since the Sankhya Yoga metric corresponds inversely to the number of planetary wars present in a particular chart, both power and strength tend to increase one discrete step at the time starting from the number one yoga – all planets in war (6 losers) – and going to the seventh – no planets in war (0 losers). However, this straightforward correlation is at least partly broken for the number four and five yogas. This is because Saturn has a slightly positive essential dignity in the signs of the former and a slightly negative in the signs of the latter.

Determination

To know the Sankhya Yoga of a particular chart count the number of different signs occupied by the seven core planets: The Moon, The Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. The resulting number (1–7) is the so called Sankhya Yoga or Number Yoga.

Interpretation

Since the concept of Sankhya Yoga considers all the seven planets visible to the naked eye it follows that each instance is an indicator of overall effects rather than result in one specific area of life. These overall effects include different perspectives on life and therefore different ideal functions in society. In the following interpretations ideal functions are only listed under the first applicable yoga. However, any ideal function can usually be expressed equally well, but on a wider scale, through the yoga next in line.

As a general rule the higher the Sankhya Yoga the greater the capacity to find happiness in life. The lower the number the more limited the life and the more difficulties one has to face. Going from all planets sharing a single sign to all planets sovereign, one’s perspective, awareness, comprehension, learning, competence and patience all increase. Conversely, obsessions, preoccupations, biases, fears, and other tendencies to be overwhelmed by circumstances decrease in both number and strength.

Sankhya Yogas 1–3 are named in order Gola, Yuga and Sula. These first three yogas represent people of decidedly poor character and background. While also individual examples of higher yogas are capable of expressing bad behavior, people of these the lowest yogas do so in strikingly basic ways and without exception.

In personal dealings natives of Gola, Yuga and Sula yogas are likely to shock all but the worst or wisest of people. Without specific indications of competence these people will show none. With no reverence for God and therefore no respect for their fellow man their actions are guaranteed to cause harm to both themselves and the people around them.

Failing to meet minimal standards of behavior in society these people are traditionally considered unfit for company and are best treated as outcasts. If you study the examples wrapping up this document and gather your own as well you will probably see why this is so.

Sankhya Yoga 5 is named Pasa. It houses more people than any of the others. While it indicates greater capacity for Joie de Vivre than the first three yogas, it still falls short of finding long-term happiness due to its basic dishonesty in human relations and generally pompous and pretentious ways. This yoga plus the previous three make up almost 50% of the days of the last century.

Sankhya Yogas 4–7 are named in order Kedara, Pasa, Dama and Veena. They all show greater capacity for Joie de Vivre than the first three yogas. Representing the bulk of all humans other keys to chart interpretation become more important in order to reveal virtues and vices. Still, these four yogas continue to indicate different evolutionary levels and priorities in life, as well as differences in opportunity and responsibility.

The first two yogas, Kedara and Pasa, house the large majority of people. They differ by the weight they put on stability and standards. Kedara people may emphasize sensuality and making money and Pasa people morality and setting standards. The former are more likely to accumulate wealth and the latter insight. Although Kedara natives are more worldly, people of both yogas tend to be actively engaged in the world and to find pleasure and joy readily.

The last two yogas, Dama and Veena, represent less than a quarter of all people. The two yogas differ by the weight they put on geniality and spirituality. Dama people tend to be more relaxed and emphasize leadership and Pasa people tend to be wiser and emphasize worship. Although Dama people are more easily embarrassed, natives of both yogas tend to know prominence.

1—3

Gola Yoga

In the extreme, Gola Yoga indicates a magnificent liar, devoid of learning, strength, generosity and capability. Zealous to have one’s own way, one makes stately efforts, striving for domination, but remains hapless and always grieved by something.

Although of great faith and stamina one is lazy, dirty, poorly dressed, and unskilled. Through moodiness and melancholy one is also likely to acquire a variety of self-induced physical ailments.

Nothing for nuances and a lover of injustice one is more like a beast than a human and is easily overcome by selfishness – even to the point of being capable of killing one’s own children.

A native of Gola Yoga has an inflated self and a royal need for attention to go with it. If aggressive one is certain to do everything to attract publicity and if passive likely to play invalid or fragile.

Of vagrant habits one associates with low people, commits sinful deeds, and is banished. Not surprisingly, one is supposed to be short-lived, have no relations, children or spouse.

There is a certain freakishness to this yoga. One’s path seems surrounded by an unusual number of strange events and freak accidents, and one is also supposed to be defective in some limb.

As skill and concern for one’s community is at a minimum, one has to be careful not to hurt others, and one should also be careful not to hurt oneself. The only avenue for happiness is through self-rediscovery.

Because of its extremely limited scope prominent expression of any societal function is very unlikely. In any case, people of this yoga tend to play roles where education and leadership are largely unimportant, such as those performed by actors, rulers and dictators.

Yuga Yoga

Yuga Yoga typically shows an immature dunce who is full of hypocrisies and does not maintain love for anyone for long. Without knowledge of the proper and the improper one is harsh in speech and either irreligious or a religious hypocrite. One is likely to eat begged food or make a living from sales of some shoddy product.

An inferiority complex presents a defining need for respect, which if not met can lead one to become a first-class recluse. There is a struggle to compensate for real or imagined shortcomings. One tries to justify oneself through material matters and is likely to acquire and lose much property before one dies.

A missing or abusive parent partially arrests one’s emotional development and makes one unusually susceptible to circumstances. Prone to depression, one has great difficulty maintaining a steady direction in life and easily becomes addicted to liquor.

High regard for own feelings coupled with disregard for the feelings of others puts a constant stress on surroundings. When confronted many natives will dismiss charges of any wrong-doing, think nothing of the trouble they cause others, and instead pity themselves.

Due to fickleness and less than constant feelings in general Yuga people are often discarded by everyone but masochists and enablers. Adept at exaggeration they often receive more respect and achieve more material success than more warm-natured people of greater accomplishments.

Natives of Yuga Yoga are unlikely to ever become adult, but usually remain immature and childish, or as most would say somewhat retarded, all through life. Typically of little knowledge and only minimal talent they have many debts and are supposed to be of shorter-than-average lifespan.

Alcoholics are sickly people even when they do not drink. Besides childish selfishness the outward signs of this craziness include irrational rationalization, projection and overreaction, as well as irritation in disagreement. The only way to health is through a spiritual change of heart.

This yoga is associated with authors and business owners. Similarly with the previous yoga any ideal or widely known examples of these functions are more likely seen through one of the later yogas. Examples of immediate expressions include peddlers and performers.

See Examples of Yuga Yoga below.

Sula Yoga

If you live by the sword, you die by the sword.
– Matthew 26:52

A native of Sula Yoga is an accomplished killer, intrepid and of little fear, always prompt and ready to agitate and battle. In best case, this yoga represents a toughened commando or a powerful healer, and in any case someone adept at achieving fame through war or medicine.

Although typically more intelligent than most people one is often recognized as a complete fool or idiot. In large part this is thanks to traits such as innocence, misplaced trust or suspicion, absence of education and good taste, bad temper, and ruthless jealousy, as well as in many cases foolish kindness.

While eager to acquire money, general incompetence and a knack for getting others into trouble, usually keep Sula people without any wealth – as well as partners, friends and associates. Prohibited, but famous and audacious they are supposed to have many means of livelihood.

With a commanding rather than disarming presence one knows how to assert oneself and not at all compassionate one easily becomes crude or petty in both words and deeds. One has no inclination to pull any punches in a fight nor any hesitation to kill if it suits one’s purposes.

More of a thinker than a lover one values friendship above love. Secret relations come and go quickly. While they last they tend to suffer from independence and manipulation, conflicts and jealousy. There is plenty of passion and neediness, but little patience and tolerance. Unlucky in love one is supposed to have more than one spouse, but no children.

Ambitious and capable of arduous mental work one is usually more in one’s head than in one’s heart. At best there is an urge to better oneself leading one to become a profound thinker, but more likely one is touchy with an unbelievable capacity to misunderstand others, in which case one will passionately push one’s concepts of right and wrong on everyone around.

A good number of natives will be deeply religious, practise witchcraft, or worship purification, especially through ecstasy and death. Severely lacking in spiritual awareness, but knowing how to be harsh, a great many – mostly women – will be quick to pass judgement on other people.

This yoga promotes morbid interests and a life of horror where death is the new justice. One is prone to have homicidal or suicidal thoughts, or be affected directly or indirectly by lethal diseases threatening one’s own life or the life of a spouse or a child.

Natives inclined to medicine may be active in bizarre and grotesque methods of disease prevention, diagnostication or treatment. Some on the fringes will be largely harmless and seen as con artists, others more short-sighted will be considered mainstream, but be all the more deadly. Tendencies toward hypochondria are also strong and can often embrace other people as well.

Some very poor listeners are born under this yoga. While killing overtly as a soldier or covertly as a doctor comes naturally, these people need to learn sympathy and understanding. Those natives who are not genuinely insane from automatic action and various delusions are likely to suffer from overwork, post-traumatic stress, paranoia or secret drug abuse.

Sula natives will need a lot of extra time to mature and tend to be socially arrested at the level of parents, insecure and tough or timid and wicked, until their children manage to grow up regardless. At this time most will quit their mental conditions and start to relate to other people more like sane people.

Based on its association with Mars this yoga should be home to thinkers, organizers, soldiers, technicians, doctors, researchers, witches and private investigators. Ultimately emperors also belong here. As before, due to inherent limitations of scope, any one of these ideal functions is more likely to see concrete expression through one of the following yogas.

Do not judge, or you too will be judged.
– Matthew 7:1

See Examples of Sula Yoga below.

Kedara Yoga

It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle
than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.
– Mark 10:25

Kedara Yoga represents geniuses of all kinds, youthful and full of ideas. These people have some special gift in some special area. Generally useful to their fellow beings and always kind to their own relatives they also tend to experience a fair share of luck in life.

Although slow of comprehension one has good memory and can master details with relative ease. This trait is a real blessing if one decides to become a scientist, a critic, or a merchant, but makes for a poor intellectual and is hardly your first choice for a lover or priest either.

Of rather narrow and precise vision one tends to be open and direkt with other people. Speech flows freely and one usually misses few opportunities to question or persuade. However, despite all cleverness and glibness, one is likely to suffer from dyslexia or some other disorder putting breaks on higher learning.

As a gifted dealer one knows how to make money from pretty much anything. In business ease with words yield great gains. Money comes so naturally and is handled so expertly that some wealth down-the-road is almost certain and once attained most unlikely to go away.

Magnified sensuality and shameless capriciousness combine to produce many world-class players. Kedara natives tend to be a lot more body-conscious than the average person. As a result their daily activities feature sport, sex and cosmetics to a degree few but Americans and Spaniards would consider normal.

Not overly concerned with ethical matters some natives will stretch the rules of the game a bit too far and become part of outright scams. Letting the end justify the means a select number could care less if they have to walk over bodies to fulfill their desires.

If not counteracted by other indications a basic meanness and carelessness with the truth can give rise to full-blown psychopathy. Even when falling short of that extreme mark many natives will still favor coercion over willful cooperation.

As an introvert complement to psychopathy this sankhya can indicate sadism. Repetition and other traits of milder forms of autism is also would be egoism some fall for atheism. Deprived of truth they then develop madness and hallucinations.

A general dislike for rules and competition make

Kedara people tend to be emotionally arrested at the level of school children, too clever for their own good, until they reach their 60s. Around this time the frivolousness and senselessness of youth should give way to reason and learning.

Although traditionally associated with the agricultural profession, Kedara Yoga associates all people who are fond of money or numbers or both and do all their thinking inside the box or literally in the case of this yoga inside their field. This includes land owners, entrepreneurs, merchants, accountants, critics, lecturers, scribblers, publishers, mathematicians, scientists and engineers.

Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power,
we have guided missiles but misguided men. – Martin Luther King, Jr.

See Examples of Kedara Yoga below.

Pasa Yoga

Pasa Yoga defines intellectuals in particular and heroic and generous people in general. Any wealth will be rightfully acquired and as a result its natives are surrounded by friends and dear to all. While some natives become snared by the pomp of life, others get distressed by falling into bondage.

Through a broad knowledge of right and wrong this yoga favors ethical extremes. Able to integrate both good and bad conduct one can preach the moral high ground one moment and act like a complete crook the next – if not both at the same time. Blissfully, one knows the meaning of mercy.

Never bored with life, but with a whole-souled respect for one’s ability and a boundless capacity for knowing oneself one is less interested in power, money and sex than in the joys of intellect. One has moved from detailed to general knowledge and from temporal to eternal expression.

All forms of travel get one’s horses running, be it on the seven seas of the world, in the realms of fantasy, or through poetic and academic truth. A sense of humor and a love of language ease one’s journeys. At home everywhere, one is skillful at making friends and keeping them. They will have many servants, although many of which may not be aware of their position.

Despite their popularity many natives easily strike other people with a somewhat superior attitude. This is often true even if the other people happen to be wiser and more loving than themselves. Though generally pleased with their own attributes, beliefs and actions, these puritans tend to have few good words to say about anyone else. Instead they rarely miss an opportunity to speak ill of others.

Pasa people are the ones most prone to obsessions. Those who do not become gamblers and professional losers are likely to get hooked on drugs, crime or just being right. No matter what their obsession is, out-of-control expenditures, deception and dishonesty follow them wherever they go.

Being beloved and popular facilitates reckless and irresponsible behavior. One is supposed to talk too much and to have many sexual partners. There is an inclination toward drunkenness, but one typically evades the more severe hallmarks of full-blown alcoholism. Nevertheless one’s overall conduct greatly raises one’s chances of landing in jail. Failing that fortune one runs a risk of developing a psychosis or its reverse – a superiority complex.

Natives of Pasa Yoga are supposed to be skillful in work and there are few occupations where they cannot make a positive difference. However, if they are not involved in intellectual pursuits as leaders and artists they may appear sorrowful and pompous. More specifically they make good teachers, poets, writers, journalists, preachers, comedians, composers, kings and scribes.

See Examples of Pasa Yoga below.

Dama Yoga

Dama Yoga signifies lovers as pillars of society. This is the first Sankhya to indicate high IQ. Its natives tend to be good listeners, affluent, content and pleasing. Even after a less than fortunate beginning and more than a fair share of sadness later on, they are still more inclined to be happy and merry than anything else.

People of this yoga are often recognized by their relaxed ways, their patience and tolerance. These appealing traits are commonly exploited by natives of previous yogas, and as a result they can appear weak, which they sometimes are despite their usually overabundant confidence and undisputed competence.

Dama people are natural providers. They enjoy solitude and nature and would rather be left alone than invited to a party, but eager to please they will rarely say no to anyone looking for company, guidance, or anything else.

Since these people demand little and are easily swayed one way or the other so long as their strong sense of justice does not have to be compromized, they make easy persons to live with. The drawback is a tendency to suppress emotions and hurt feelings. They prefer to see good even when there is little of it to be seen.

This page is a mess beyond this point. Let’s pray for some speedy cleaning up.

---

A native of this yoga is a benefactor devoted to public welfare. but also thoughtless and relaxed. fond of partnership. Does not think enough - bad judgement of others, trust some less careful person. A dilettante in love. easily swayed, happy, lenient or tolerant, easy person to live with. Militant love of justice, courage in just wars. Prodigal.

Natives of this yoga love to do good, and since they love themselves they also love others without even thinking about it. At best they give other people the benefit of the doubt. At worst they constantly overestimate the good in others and suffer as a consequence.

Unusual and troubled childhoods: In cases of extreme deprivation, refusal to see evil in an evil world can lead one to develop symptoms of schizophrenia. These symptoms dissolve in good company, by themselves around the age of 40, or more immediately as one commits totally to a spiritual life.

All about love and very much about sex these natives are not doing their job if they are not having it, but this does not mean that they are all homosexuals. Instead roughly half are bisexual and and about a quarter are predominantly heterosexual. They are likely to have many children, some of which will become famous themselves.

With a cusped Venus and a fallen Jupiter a very rough early life leading to drugs and crime is indicated if the planetary war occupies an angle and involves hostile planets of which the one closest in focus is in a state of fall.

This yoga associates all people involved in pursuit of justice and tranquility, In more specific terms the ideal functions of this yoga are summed up by bankers, administrators, negotiators, philosophers, physicians, artisans, painters and sculptors, judges, mediators, aristocrats, Some other associations include cooks and gardeners, military men, warriors and diplomats.

See Examples of Dama Yoga below.

Veena Yoga

Ultimately, Veena Yoga denotes saints on path to become like God. Great in submission, these wise, humble and selfless natives, are delighted to serve others and big enough to wash the feet of their disciples.

In the extreme – i.e. a chart with no planets cusped (< 1° from a cusp), fallen nor severely afflicted by aspects – it reveals individuals capable of grasping everything while being completely inscrutable to others.

One born in Veena Yoga will be eloquent, of real knowledge, and interested in religious precepts and rules of life. Veena people are capable of all austerities mentioned in spiritual scriptures. Barred possible carelessness bodhi is not far away. Usually of robust health. Lasting fame is to be expected as one acts as a role model to one’s many friends and servants.

A typical native of this yoga approaches the universal man or woman and is skilled in every kind of work, very learned and wise without being caught up in emotions. With no shortage of talent or imagination, nothing ever overwhelms this fully aware native.

Sacrifice. Celibacy (sex within marriage until the age of 90 and then total abstinence). Inaction. Poverty. Happiness.

As this yoga does not in itself indicate any shortcomings of character or limits of fortune, other factors including planetary states such as brightness or visibility (direct/retrograde), sign agreement (fallen/risen) and development (cusped/peaked), as well as what patterns the planets form become all important.

Veena people are also associated with the art of music. They are supposed to like song and dance, and loving right things only they are always full of energy. With Saturn neither fallen nor cusped their endurance, strength and influence is likely to be exceptional.

Musicians, priests, theologians, astrologers, masters, singers, dancers, gods and martyrs.

See Examples of Veena Yoga below.

Examples

As this document represents the first installment in a series on basic astrology the following example charts are not intended to be the end all of any individual chart, but rather to show statistical significance for groups of charts and to convey a practical understanding of the concept of Sankhya Yoga in astrology.

The tables to follow list well-known men and women of the public Astrolog for OS/2 chart collection. The table for Sankhya 7 (Veena Yoga) lists all charts present in the collection. For the other yogas the intention is to list all charts of widely known individuals with a score either below 4,3 or above 6,3. For the range in between only the most well-known charts will be included. Since most charts are of Sankhya 5 (Pasa Yoga) that particular table only represents a small sample.

In all the tables the first column gives the Sankhya Yoga values calculated by the program using the following nine planets: The Moon, the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The second column gives the corresponding value with the two outer planets excluded. The first value in each column applies to the Sidereal Zodiac. In parenthesis you find the equivalent value for the Tropical Zodiac.

Of days in the last century less than 0,1 percent were Gola Yogas, 0,2 percent were Yuga Yogas and 5,4 percent Sula Yogas. The numbers differ only very slightly for this century. These are unweighted Sankhya 7 values using the Tropical Zodiac. Values for the Sidereal Zodiac values will follow in a later draft.
