Papa Kartari Yoga

Papa Kartari Yoga forms when natural malefics surround the ascendant. In other words, the 2nd and 12th houses from the ascendant are occupied by natural malefics. For this yoga, there should be malefics in both the 2nd and 12th houses. The idea is that your neighbors or neighborhood influence your behavior. A negative surrounding leads to a negative influence.

The negative effects of the yoga reduce if you also have benefics in the 2nd or 12th house. The negative effects of the yoga also reduce if natural benefics, especially Jupiter, aspect the 2nd or the 12th house. For the yoga to be fully malefic, the 2nd and 12th houses should not have natural benefics and should not be influenced by natural benefics.

A person with such a yoga is unhealthy, short-lived and has enemies.

The concept of Papa Kartari can be applied to any house. If malefics surround the 2nd house, this indicates problems related to 2nd house matters like family or wealth.

A clean Papa Kartari yoga is hard to find. It reduces the strength of the ascendant.
