Moon is considered as a mind in Vedic astrology. Normally the mind is very volatile in nature. As we know the Moon expands and contracts in space as perceived from Earth. True to its nature, the mind also changes its nature. In astrology also, the Moon needs some support from other planets for a stable mind. It is preferable to have planets near the Moon in the chart for better results. If it is sitting alone in a horoscope without any planets on either side of the Moon, then the mind will be fluctuating and it leads to Kemadruma yoga
How Anapha Yoga is Formed
When a planet other than the Sun occupies the 12th house from the Moon, it results in the Anapha Yoga. There can be some 31 different permutations of Anapha Yoga possible. Sunapha yoga is more about accumulating and possessing wealth, as there are planets in the 2nd house from the moon. Anapha yoga is more stressed on expenditure and enjoyment, as it is formed due to the planets in the 12th house from Moon. Accordingly, the native, born with Anapha yoga will be healthy, generous, renowned, orator, like to spend more, pleasant in looks, happy, like enjoyment. And there is one more yoga - which is a combination of Sunapha and Anapha yoga - is called as Durudhara yoga
Anapha Yoga According to Scriptures
- According to Parashara, one born with Anapha yoga will be a king, be free from diseases, virtuous, famous, charming, and happy.
According to Phaladeepika, the person will be powerful, will enjoy good health, and will have a sweet temperament. He will be famous and all worldly comforts will be available to him. He will be well dressed, contended, and happy.
According to Varahamihira, the native will be strong, capable, will have a sound body, famous, will be fond of wearing beautiful garments, and will be gentle.
Anapha yoga can be formed by one or more of Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn placed in the 12th house from the Moon. So the result will depend on the planet associated.
If Anapha yoga is formed due to the placement of Mars in the 12th house from Moon, the native will be an actor, leader of thieves, respected, bold, hurts everyone, has valor, jealous, inflexible nature.
If Anapha yoga is formed with Mercury, the native will be skilled in music, will be a writer, good in music, poetry, will have an attractive face.
If Jupiter forms Anapha yoga, the native will have wisdom and intellect, will have strength, energetic, learned, famous.
If Venus forms Anapha yoga, the native will be in the company of other sex, very handsome, beautiful, will amass gold, adulterous.
If Anapha yoga is due to Saturn, the native will have long arms, rich in possession of animals, catle, enjoys the company of wicked women, will have many qualities, virtuous.
The result of the yoga is modified due to the aspect and association from other planets. Also the lordship of the houses and strength of the planets alter the results. We have to take into consideration all these factors while analyzing. If the Sun is close to the Moon, then the effect of the yoga will be reduced. The same way the conjunction of Rahu and Ketu with any planet can modify the yoga.
