Sankhya Yuga Yoga

संख्या युग योग

Planets spread across 2 Houses

Classical Reference

Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, Chapter 36, Sloka 93-94 (paraphrased):

When all 7 planets are restricted to only 2 houses in the entire chart, with no planets in any other house, the native becomes poor, heretic, shameless, socially rejected, bereft of logic, and devoid of mother, father and virtue. This pattern is called Sankhya Yuga (Pair/Concentration) Yoga.

Definition

All 7 planets (Sun to Saturn traditional 7, excluding Rahu/Ketu for this count) are restricted to only 2 houses in the entire chart. No planet is placed in any other house (the remaining 10 houses are completely empty). The 7 planets are distributed between these 2 houses (could be 5+2, 4+3, 6+1, etc.). Rahu and Ketu may be placed anywhere (not counted for the 7-planet condition).

Understanding the Pattern

✦7 planets are spread across only 2 houses

✦The remaining 10 houses are completely empty

✦The two houses may be anywhere in the chart (could be adjacent, opposite, or any pair)

✦This creates an extreme focus on the affairs of those two houses

✦This yoga is rare, but less rare than Sankhya Gola (1 house)

Understanding the Pattern

✦All 7 traditional planets in only 2 houses (any houses 1-12)

✦No planet in the other 10 houses

✦Planets distributed between the 2 houses (e.g., 5+2, 4+3, 6+1, etc.)

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

Effects

1Poor (financially struggling, lacks material wealth)

2Heretic (irreligious, opposes established beliefs, blasphemous)

3Shameless (lacks modesty, no sense of shame, brazen)

4Socially rejected (outcast, abandoned by society, no social standing)

5Bereft of logic (unreasonable, irrational, lacks reasoning ability)

6Devoid of mother, father and virtue (no parental support, lacks moral character)

Example Chart

1st House (Lagna)AriesSun, Mars, Mercury

7th HouseLibraMoon, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn

4th HouseCancerSun, Moon, Mars

10th HouseCapricornMercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn

All 7 planets are only in 2 houses hence Sankhya Yuga Yoga is fully formed.

Important Notes

✦The name "Sankhya Yuga" means pair/concentration of planets in two houses

✦This is the second most extreme concentration yoga (after Sankhya Gola 1 house)- 10 empty houses mean no planetary support for 10 areas of life- "Poor" lack of planets in wealth houses (2nd, 11th, 4th, 9th)- "Heretic" lack of planets in 9th (dharma, faith, guru) and 12th (liberation)- "Shameless" lack of planets in 2nd (speech, modesty) and 1st (self-respect)- "Socially rejected" lack of planets in 7th (public dealings), 10th (reputation), 11th (social circle) if those are not the 2 occupied houses- "Bereft of logic" lack of planets in 5th (intelligence), 2nd (reasoning through speech), 3rd (analytical thinking)- "Devoid of mother, father and virtue" lack of planets in 4th (mother), 9th (father), and 1st (self-virtue)

Variations

The 2 Houses	Additional Effects
1st & 7th	Extreme self vs spouse conflict, relationship misery

4th & 10th	Home and career focus, but no self-identity (1st empty)
2nd & 11th	Wealth and gains focus, but still poor (paradox)
5th & 9th	Intelligence and fortune, but illogical (paradox)
3rd & 6th	Courage and service, but socially rejected
8th & 12th	Transformation and liberation, but heretic
1st & 10th	Self and career, but no home/mother (4th empty)
