Adhi Yoga
Adhi yoga forms when the three benefics, Jupiter, Venus, and Mercury occupy the 6th, 7th, and 8th houses from the ascendant or the Moon. Some books indicate the grahas should occupy all three houses while others are fine if the grahas are in any of the three houses.
Therefore, you could have one of the following combinations
- Jupiter, Venus, and Mercury together in the 6th, 7th or 8th house
- Two of the grahas in one house (6,7 or 8) and the other in another house (6,7, or 8)
- Each graha individually in the three houses
The third combination is the rarest and the second combination is the most common.

Jupiter is in its own house, Venus is with an exalted Sun, and Mercury is with an exalted Moon. The luminaries provide strength to Venus and Mercury, thereby making all three benefics very strong.
Chandradhi Yoga
The yoga from the Moon is Chandradhi yoga. Bill Gates has the rarest form of this yoga from his Moon. It is amazing how many times you can use Bill Gates’ chart to illustrate yogas.
Bill Gates has Jupiter in the 6th house, Mercury in the 7th house, and Venus in the 8th house from his Moon. Mercury and Venus are in their own houses respectively.
The principle of Adhi yoga is the funneling of benefic influence from the 6th, 7th, 8th houses to the ascendant. Benefics in the 6th and 8th house form shubakartari yoga for the 7th house. This fortifies the strength of the benefic in the 7th house, which in turn directly aspects the ascendant or the Moon as the case may be.
