Chatra Yoga – Aakriti Yoga – Nabhas Yoga

Introduction of Chatra Yoga as per Vedic Astrology

Chatra yoga is one of the Aakriti yoga under the group of Nabhas Yoga. Chatra yoga is formed when all visible planets are placed continuously from 7^th house to 1^st from Lagna in the horoscope. Chatra Yoga is considered beneficial for native.

Nabhasa yoga is formed in the sky (Nabha) based on the shape created in the sky by planets. So, it is very clear that Nabhasa yoga is formed with visible planets only (not by Rahu & Ketu).

As per classical books of Astrology, there are 32 types of Nabhas yoga in Vedic Astrology which are listed below

• 20 Aakriti Yoga (based on the shape formed by planets in the sky)
• 7 Sankhya Yoga (based on the number of signs in which all planets are placed)
• 3 Aashraya Yoga (based on planets occupied in movable, dual or fixed signs).
• 2 Dala Yoga (formed based on a beneficial or malefic planet in the Kendra)

Chatra Yoga is the part of Aakriti Yoga. The word Chatra means an umbrella. An umbrella is used to protect from rain and sunlight. In the old days, Chatra is a symbol of Status in the society.

Formation of Chatra Yoga

When all visible planets from Sun to Saturn are placed in 7 continuous signs from 7^th house to 1^st house then Chatra Yoga is formed. This means all planets are placed in 7^th house, 8^th house, 9^th house, 10^th house, 11^th house, 12^th house & 1^st house. None of them will be vacant. Here we don’t consider Rahu & Ketu. So, Rahu & Ketu may be placed in any house, it doesn’t matter.

Here you have to notice that when all planets are placed in 7 signs then Veena or Vallki Yoga is also formed. But we only consider the impact of Chatra yoga in this case.

As We know the 1^st to 7^th is considered as Aprakashit (dark) area and the 7^th to 1^st house is considered as Prakashit (Bright) area of the horoscope. In Chatra Yoga all visible planets are placed in Bright areas, so results are more visible in nature and considered beneficial for native.
