Conjunction (Yuti)
A conjunction (yuti) is two or more planets in the same sign of your chart. Their influences blend, for better or worse, and the closer they are in degrees, the stronger the combination.
Also known as: graha yuti, planetary conjunction
In Vedic astrology, planets in the same sign are conjunct and act together on that house and on the houses they rule. Planets within a few degrees of each other mix most strongly; those at opposite ends of a sign are linked more loosely.
The result depends on who meets whom. Natural friends tend to cooperate, and some pairings form named yogas: the Sun with Mercury gives Budhaditya yoga, and the Moon with Mars gives Chandra–Mangal yoga. A planet very close to the Sun becomes combust, and one joined by Rahu or Ketu takes on some of the nodes’ unpredictability.
When two of Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn are within one degree of each other, the texts call it graha yuddha, a planetary war, and one planet is judged the winner. Like every factor, a conjunction is read together with dignity, house and aspects, never on its own.
