संख्या वीणा (वल्लकी) योग
Planets spread across 7 Houses
Classical Reference01
Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, Chapter 36, Sloka 103-104 (paraphrased):
When all 7 planets are distributed in 7 different houses in the entire chart (one planet per house), with no planets in the remaining 5 houses, the native becomes prosperous, versed in sacred scriptures, fond of dance and music, skillful, a leader, and looks after the sustenance of many. This pattern is called Sankhya Vina (Veena) Yoga.
Definition02
All 7 planets (Sun to Saturn traditional 7, excluding Rahu/Ketu for this count) are distributed in 7 different houses in the entire chart. No planet is placed in any other house (the remaining 5 houses are completely empty). Each of the 7 planets occupies a separate, distinct house no two planets share a house. Rahu and Ketu may be placed anywhere (not counted for the 7-planet condition).
Understanding the Pattern03
✦7 planets are spread across 7 different houses (one planet per house)
✦The remaining 5 houses are completely empty
✦The seven houses may be anywhere in the chart
✦This is the maximum distribution possible with 7 planets
✦This is a highly auspicious yoga
✦The name "Vina" (veena) reflects art, harmony, and creativity
Understanding the Pattern04
✦All 7 traditional planets in 7 different houses (one planet per house)
✦No planet in the other 5 houses
✦Distribution: 1+1+1+1+1+1+1 (seven houses with exactly one planet each)
✦Rahu and Ketu may be anywhere (not counted for the 7-planet condition)
