Hamsa Mahapurusha Yoga

There are five mahapurusha yogas, collectively called Pancha mahapurusha yogas. The five true planets – Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn – create each of the five mahapurusha yogas. Jupiter forms the Hamsa mahapurusha yoga. There are two requirements for this yoga

1. Jupiter is in its own sign or in its sign of exaltation
2. Jupiter is in a kendra (1,4,7,10) house from the lagna (ascendant) or the Moon

Mahapurusha yogas pertain to success achieved through action. Therefore, classical texts indicate Kendras because they are the houses of action. If the yoga repeats from the ascendant and the Moon it is doubly strong because it indicates confluence. It is a strong placement even if the planet is in a trikona (5,9) house.

The qualities of the yoga are directly related to the qualities of Jupiter. Therefore, one born with Hamsa mahapurusha yoga will be a King, a person in high political office or a government dignitary. He/she will be prosperous, will enjoy pleasures of life, will possess good vehicles and will be renowned and learned.

Examples – For example, Pope John Paul II has this yoga. He was the head of the Roman Catholic Church, thereby exemplifying the characteristics of this yoga. He was the head of the Vatican, he was learned in the scriptures, and enjoyed good vehicles.

Another example is Elizabeth Taylor. She has this yoga from her Moon sign. She lived life like a Queen.
