Parashari Raj Yoga: Is This the Astrological Shortcut to Success and Prosperity?
Parashari Raj Yoga
Raj Yoga in Vedic Astrology can be defined as a highly advantageous or fortunate placement or combination of planets, or horoscopic structure. Raj refers to royalty; hence, this blessed Yoga is believed to possess the power to bestow the natives with a Royal Life, that is, a life endowed with many material pleasures and prosperity. Sage Parashara is regarded as the Father of Vedic Astrology. As the revelation of this Raj Yoga is credited to him, it has come to be called Parashari Raj Yoga.
Raja Yoga, or Raj Yoga, can mean a celestial combination, or a 'royal union', the coming together of the mind and soul. According to astrology, those with this Parashari Raj Yoga in their birth charts will likely have the good fortune of enjoying sound health, wealth, power, success and fame in their lives.

What Makes Parashari Raj Yoga?
A birth chart or a horoscope consists of 12 sections known as astrological Houses. These 12 Houses correspond to the 12 zodiac signs. Each of these 12 signs is ruled by a planet, which remains its planetary lord. The planet that rules over a sign becomes the (planetary) lord of the House that the sign corresponds to. Thus, each of the 12 Houses has its own planetary lord.
Of these, the Houses 1, 4, 7 and 10 are known as Kendra or the Quadrant; whereas the Houses 1, 5 and 9 are the Trikona or the Trine. Vedic Astrology attaches much significance to these Houses. Parashari Raj Yoga is formed by the association of the planetary lords of the Kendra and Trikona Houses.
This association in a person's birth chart can be in the form of these planets getting placed together, or if there is a mutual exchange between them, or there is an exchange of Houses. The combination of these planets is said to result in Raj Yoga, contributing to many beneficial turns and bringing in advancement, affluence and a better quality of life to the native.
How to identify Parshari Raj Yoga in a horoscope?
People should first identify the Kendra (1, 4, 7 and 10) and Trikona (1, 5 and 9) Houses in the birth chart, what signs these Houses correspond to, and thus who their planetary lords are. Then they can see where these planets are placed in the birth chart and note whether they form an association in any way. If it is found that these lords are together in the same House or they exchange Houses, then we can understand that their placement contributes to a potent Parashari Raj Yoga.
For instance, when the lords of the 9th House of Fortune and the 10th House of Career form an association, it can lead to significant success in profession and life. Likewise, suppose the lords of the 5th House of Creativity and the 7th House of Relationships and Partnerships are in association; in that case, it can lead to many promising opportunities in the days to come.
Beneficial Results of Parashari Raj Yoga
Sage Parashara asserts that this Raja Yoga can bestow immense, all-around strength, wealth, prosperity, and success on the native.
People having this Yoga, as reflected in their birth charts, may possess a sharp intellect, good judgment, and sound decision-making skills, which can make their endeavors successful and productive.
They may enjoy good fitness, develop leadership qualities, achieve significant success in their careers, rise to high, reputable positions, and earn much respect in social circles.
They may also accumulate wealth through sensible, timely decisions and hard work, by making the most of the opportunities that come their way, and lead a luxurious life.
This Raja Yoga can also bless them with confidence, emotional stability, good reputation, fame, and a joyful personal and professional life. It can also bring them good luck and desired results in whatever they do.
However, a word of caution
This Yoga can definitely be a blessing for anyone. But it is not a magical wand, and its effectiveness depends on the individual's Karma, the overall condition of the birth chart, and the power and auspicious placement of the planets involved. Yoga also rewards only sincere and honest effort.
