How Durudhara Yoga is Formed
Durudhara yoga is formed when planets other than Sun occupy both second and twelfth houses from the Moon. It is a balanced yoga compared to Sunapha and Anapha yoga. As we know, Sunapha yoga is formed when planets are placed only in the second house and Anapha yoga is formed when planets are placed only in the 12th house, resulting in the native to emphasize more on possessing wealth and spending or giving respectively. So Durudhara yoga is the combination of both the yogas.
(Note: When there are no planets occupied on either side of the Moon, is called as Kemadruma Yoga)
Durudhara yoga caused by benefic planets is more powerful than the malefic planets. There are a total of 180 combinations of Durudhara yogas that can be formed. The result depends on the placement of the Moon and respective planets in the horoscope.

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 analysing. If the Sun is close to the Moon, then the effect of the yoga will be reduced. Same way the conjunction of Rahu and Ketu with any planet can modify yoga.
