आकृति पक्षी योग (विहग योग)
Houses 4–10
Classical Reference01
Akriti Pakshi Yoga (also known as Vihaga Yoga)[Classical Reference Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, Chapter 36, Sloka 33-34 (paraphrased):"When all planets are confined to houses 4 to 10 (4th through 10th house), with no planets in houses 1, 2, 3, 11, or 12, the native becomes a wanderer, servile, quarrelsome, and a message bearer or ambassador. This pattern resembles a bird (Pakshi/Vihaga)."]
Definition02
All planets (Sun to Saturn, plus Rahu/Ketu if considered) are confined to houses 4 to 10 (i.e., 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th houses). No planet is placed in houses 1, 2, 3, 11, or 12.
Understanding the Pattern03
✦All planets in houses 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 only
✦No planet in houses 1, 2, 3, 11, 12
✦The Lagna (1st house) is empty
✦Planets may be distributed among these 7 houses in any combination
Effects04
1Wanderer (constantly moving, restless, never settled in one place)
2Servile (servant-like nature, working for others, lacking independence)
3Quarrelsome (argumentative, fights often, litigious nature)
4Message bearer or ambassador (carries messages, works as a messenger, diplomat, or intermediary)
Example Chart05
4th HouseCancerMoon
5th HouseLeoSun
6th HouseVirgoMercury
7th HouseLibraVenus
8th HouseScorpioMars
9th HouseSagittariusJupiter
10th HouseCapricornSaturn
All planets are in houses 4 to 10 hence Akriti Pakshi Yoga is fully formed.
Planetary Condition06
✦The name "Pakshi" or "Vihaga" means bird the planetary pattern resembles a bird in flight
✦Lagna (1st house) empty is a key feature the person lacks a strong sense of self
✦All planets in the upper half of the chart (4 to 10) focus on external world, not inner self- "Wanderer" because 4th house (home) has planets but Lagna (self) is empty no rootedness- "Servile" lack of planets in 1st, 2nd (self, self-worth), and 3rd (initiative)- "Quarrelsome" planets in 6th (enemies, disputes) and 8th (conflicts) are common in this yoga- "Message bearer / ambassador" planets in 5th (communication), 7th (diplomacy), 9th (messengers of wisdom), 10th (public role)
Important Notes07
✦The houses 4 to 10 form an arc across the top of the chart
✦This arc resembles a bird with wings spread
✦The bird is always in motion hence the native is a wanderer
✦The bird carries messages (like carrier pigeons) hence message bearer/ambassador
