Akriti Gada Yoga
आकृति गदा योग
1st and 4th Houses (Adjacent Kendras)
Classical Reference01
Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, Chapter 36, Sloka 23-24 (paraphrased):
When all planets are confined to two adjacent Kendras (especially the 1st and 4th houses), the native becomes wealthy, learned, well-versed in scriptures, fearsome, envious of others, and constantly engaged in earning money.
Definition02
All planets (Sun to Saturn, plus Rahu/Ketu if considered) are confined to two adjacent Kendras (1st, 4th, 7th, or 10th houses) specifically 1st and 4th houses (Lagna and 4th house). No planet is placed in any other house.Note: Although the scriptures specifically mention 1st and 4th houses, in principle this yoga can be formed by any two adjacent Kendras (1&4, 4&7, 7&10, 10&1). The effects may vary accordingly.
Understanding the Pattern03
✦All planets in 1st and 4th house only (or any two adjacent Kendras)
✦No planet in 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th houses
✦Planets may be distributed between the two houses in any combination
Effects04
1Wealthy (rich, prosperous)
2Learned (well-educated, knowledgeable)
3Versed in sacred scriptures (expert in Vedas, Puranas, Shastras)
4Fearsome (terrifying, intimidating to others)
5Envious of others (jealous, resentful of others' success)
6Ever engaged in earning money (constantly focused on wealth accumulation)
Example Chart05
1st House (Lagna)AriesSun, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter
4th HouseCancerMoon, Venus, Saturn
All planets are only in 1st and 4th houses hence Akriti Gada Yoga is fully formed.
Important Notes06
✦This is one of the Akriti Yogas (shape-based yogas)
✦The name "Gada" means mace/club the planetary pattern resembles a mace
✦Planets in 1st and 4th create a strong connection between self (Lagna) and home/happiness (4th)- "Fearsome" nature comes from concentration of planets in two houses especially if malefics dominate- "Envious" is a side effect of over-attachment to wealth the person compares constantly
✦If the two adjacent Kendras are 4th & 7th or 7th & 10th or 10th & 1st, the effects modify slightly

| 1st & 4th | Wealth + home comforts + learning (standard Gada Yoga) |
