The term Pushkala has come from the goddess of creativity and wealth, who is referred to as the consort of Lord Ayyappa. Lord Ayyappa is born through the alchemy of Shiva and Vishnu’s energy. The marriage of Pushkala has bestowed him with immense wealth. Formation of Pushkala Yoga signifies that Lagna (ascendant) needs to be strong and powerful.

Lagna (ascendant) represents self & personality, if you are strong and courageous, then you can multiply the opportunities with your creative skills and talent. It is important to have a strong and unafflicted Lagna (ascendant) to lead a successful life.

This yoga combines with the combination of Moon with Lagna (ascendant). Moon represents your emotional body and mind. Due to clarity in your thoughts, you can achieve success and expected outcomes.

Lagna (ascendant) represents physical body and Moon represents emotions, when both aligned in your chart, you are bound to be successful in all aspect of your life.

How is Pushkala Yoga Formed?

The lord of the Lagna (ascendant) should be with the Moon. The Lord of the sign occupied by the Moon should be in a very friendly sign or in Kendra aspecting the Lagna (ascendant) and the Lagna (ascendant) should have a strongly disposed planet.

Pushkala Yoga in actual practice is full of significance in as much as it comprehends that Lagna (ascendant), the lord of Lagna (ascendant), the Moon and the lord of Chandra Lagna (ascendant) should be powerful. Else you can follow the three basic rules:

1. Ascendant Lord (ruling planet of 1st house) and Moon should be in the same sign.

2. The ruling planet of the sign where Moon is located, should be friendly or in Kendra and should aspect Lagna (ascendant).

3. The Lagna (ascendant) should have a strong planet.

Once the formation of this yoga is confirmed, then the next factor is to calculate the strength of the Yoga through the placement of planets involved in its formation in various signs, nakshatras and navamashas; as well as through the influences of other benefic and malefic planets on them.
