Parivartana yoga is formed when two lords of different houses mutually interchange places. That is they occupy the house of each other.

If one of the lords is the 3rd lord and the other is a positive house lord, it forms a Kahala Parivartana Yoga. 8 out of the 66 combinations fall under this category. For example, a Cancer ascendant with Mercury in Leo and Sun in Virgo. This example involves the lords of the 2nd and 3rd houses.

This yoga gives mixed results. According to Phaladeepika, the person is occasionally haughty and sometimes sweet in speech. The person has ups and downs in life.
