Sankhya Gola Yoga

संख्या गोल योग

All 7 planets in 1 House only

Classical Reference

Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, Chapter 36, Sloka 91-92 (paraphrased):

When all 7 planets are confined to only one house in the entire chart, with no planets in any other house, the native becomes destitute, illiterate, wicked, miserable, and ever wandering. This pattern is called Sankhya Gola (Cluster/Concentration) Yoga.

Definition

All 7 planets (Sun to Saturn traditional 7, excluding Rahu/Ketu for this count) are confined to only one house in the entire chart. No planet is placed in any other house. All 7 planets occupy the same single house (which could be any house from 1 to 12). Rahu and Ketu may be placed anywhere (or may also be in the same house, but traditionally not counted for the 7-planet condition).

Understanding the Pattern

✦This is the maximum possible concentration of planets

✦All 7 planets are in a single house no planets anywhere else

✦This creates an extreme focus on the affairs of that one house

✦However, all other houses (11 houses) are completely empty

✦This yoga is extremely rare in practice

Understanding the Pattern

✦All 7 traditional planets in one single house (any house 1-12)

✦No planet in the other 11 houses

✦All 7 planets occupy the same house

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

Effects

1Destitute (extremely poor, lacking basic necessities, homeless)

2Illiterate (uneducated, lacking knowledge, unable to read/write)

3Wicked (evil-natured, cruel, harmful to others)

4Miserable (always in distress, unhappy, suffering)

5Ever wandering (constantly moving, homeless, restless, never settled)

Example Chart

1st House (Lagna)AriesSun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn

7th HouseLibraSun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn

All 7 planets are only in one single house hence Sankhya Gola Yoga is fully formed.

Important Notes

✦The name "Sankhya Gola" means cluster/concentration all planets in one group

✦This is one of the most extreme and inauspicious yogas in Vedic astrology

✦Destitute because 11 empty houses mean no support from wealth (2nd), home (4th), gains (11th), etc.

✦Illiterate lack of planets in 2nd (speech), 4th (knowledge from home), 5th (intelligence) all empty

✦Wicked all planets concentrated in one house creates extreme pressure; without balancing influences, the nature becomes cruel

✦Miserable no planetary support for happiness (4th, 9th, 11th empty)

✦Ever wandering strong 3rd (travel) or 12th (foreign) if that house contains all planets; otherwise, general restlessness due to no roots

Variations

3rd	Ever wandering (strongest), courage but misguided
4th	Home is everything but still miserable, mother issues
5th	Intelligence but illiterate (paradox), children issues

Planetary Condition

Sankhya Gola	All planets in 1 house	Destitute, illiterate, wicked	Ever wandering, miserable
Kamala	All planets in 4 Kendras	Beautiful, famous, virtuous	Royal status, long life

Samudra	All planets in 6 even houses	Wealthy, renowned, virtuous	Stable mind, physical pleasures
Vapi	No planets in Kendras	Hoarder, modest	Small comforts, long life

Planetary Condition

✦11 empty houses mean no planetary support for 11 areas of life

✦All energy is compressed into one area creates extreme pressure and imbalance

✦The native cannot access the diversity of life experiences

✦The house containing all planets becomes overwhelming and pathological

✦Hence: destitute, illiterate, wicked, miserable, ever wandering

✦Illiterate no formal education, unable to read/write, or lacks basic knowledge
