Dhana yoga
A Dhana yoga is a combination that shows the capacity to earn and build wealth. The classic form links the lords of the 2nd and 11th houses (wealth and gains) with the lords of the 1st, 5th or 9th.
Also known as: Dhan yoga, Dhan yog, Wealth yoga
The 2nd house holds savings and family resources, and the 11th shows income and gains. The 1st, 5th and 9th are the houses of self, merit and fortune. When their lords join in one sign, aspect each other or exchange signs, classical texts describe a Dhana yoga. Parashara gives a whole chapter of such combinations.
The yoga shows capacity, not a bank balance. How much it delivers depends on the strength of the planets involved, the houses they occupy and, above all, timing: wealth yogas tend to show their results in the dashas of the planets that form them.
Several things weaken a Dhana yoga: debilitation, combustion, placement in the 6th, 8th or 12th house, or a link with the lords of those houses. A strong 11th lord with a weak 2nd lord, for instance, can suggest good earnings that are harder to keep.
No yoga replaces sensible financial choices, and no reading should be taken as financial advice.
