How Yogas Are Read
The presence of a Yoga is only the first step. An astrologer also checks the strength and dignity of the planets involved, whether they are afflicted, and the Dasha in which the Yoga is likely to operate. The Yogas, Practices and Guidance section of the Kundli report covers the combinations found in your own chart.
