Shakata Yoga
शकट योग
Challenging yogas that require remedies and careful navigation
Formation Rules
Moon is placed in the 6th, 8th, or 12th house from Jupiter. This is essentially the opposite of Gaja Kesari Yoga.
Effects & Results
Brings fluctuating fortunes — the native experiences repeated cycles of gain and loss. Wealth comes and goes like a cart wheel (Shakata means cart). Social status oscillates between high and low. The native may face ingratitude from those they help.
Cancellation Conditions
Cancelled if Jupiter is in a Kendra from the Ascendant or if Moon is in own/exalted sign.
Dasha Activation
Jupiter-Moon or Moon-Jupiter Antardasha periods
Classical Source
Phaladeepika
Remedies & Upaya
Worship Lord Vishnu on Thursdays. Donate yellow items (turmeric, gold, yellow cloth) to Brahmins. Wear a Yellow Sapphire after astrological consultation.
