Sankhya Dama (Damini) Yoga

संख्या दाम (दामिनी) योग

Planets spread across 6 Houses

Classical Reference

Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, Chapter 36, Sloka 101-102 (paraphrased):

When all 7 planets are distributed over only 6 houses in the entire chart, with no planets in any other house (distribution: one house with 2 planets, five houses with 1 planet each), the native becomes wealthy, liberal, renowned, learned, contented, and earns through legitimate means. This pattern is called Sankhya Dama (Rope/Control) or Damini (Lightning) Yoga.

Definition

All 7 planets (Sun to Saturn traditional 7, excluding Rahu/Ketu for this count) are distributed over only 6 houses in the entire chart. No planet is placed in any other house (the remaining 6 houses are completely empty). The 7 planets are distributed among these 6 houses (e.g., 2+1+1+1+1+1 since all 6 houses must have at least 1 planet). Rahu and Ketu may be placed anywhere (not counted for the 7-planet condition).

Understanding the Pattern

✦7 planets are spread across only 6 houses

✦The remaining 6 houses are completely empty

✦The six houses may be anywhere in the chart

✦One house contains 2 planets; the other 5 houses contain 1 planet each

✦This is a highly auspicious yoga

✦The name "Dama" (control/rope) reflects discipline and balance

Understanding the Pattern

✦All 7 traditional planets in only 6 houses (any houses 1-12)

✦No planet in the other 6 houses

✦Distribution: One house has 2 planets; five houses have 1 planet each

✦Rahu and Ketu may be anywhere (not counted for the 7-planet condition)

Effects

1Wealthy (rich, prosperous, materially well-off)

2Liberal (generous, charitable, open-hearted, not miserly)

3Renowned (famous, well-known, widely respected)

4Learned (well-educated, knowledgeable, scholarly)

5Contented (satisfied, peaceful, free from anxiety)

6Earns through legitimate means (honest livelihood, ethical earnings, no corruption)

10th HouseCapricornSaturn

1st HouseAriesSun

All 7 planets are only in 6 houses hence Sankhya Dama (Damini) Yoga is fully formed.

Important Notes

✦The name "Dama" means rope/control symbolizing discipline, balance, and restraint

✦The name "Damini" means lightning symbolizing radiance, fame, and striking presence

✦This is the sixth in the Sankhya series one of the most auspicious- 6 empty houses still many empty houses, but the distribution across 6 houses creates excellent balance- "Wealthy" planets are spread enough to activate wealth houses (2nd, 4th, 5th, 9th, 10th, 11th)- "Liberal" no extreme concentration; the native can afford to be generous- "Renowned" strong 1st (self), 5th (past merits), 7th (public), 9th (fortune), 10th (fame) likely among the 6 houses- "Learned" strong 2nd (speech), 4th (knowledge from home), 5th (intelligence), 9th (higher learning)- "Contented" balanced planetary distribution reduces anxiety and struggle- "Earns through legitimate means" no planets in 6th (deception), 8th (fraud), 12th (illegal expenses) or those houses are empty; strong 2nd (honest speech), 10th (ethical career)

Deeper Understanding

✦6 houses provide optimal distribution not too concentrated, not too scattered

✦Only 6 empty houses much better than 11,10,9,8,7 empty houses

✦The distribution (2+1+1+1+1+1) creates one area of mild concentration but overall balance

✦The native enjoys the benefits of multiple houses without extreme imbalance

✦Hence: wealthy, liberal, renowned, learned, contented, legitimate earnings
