Jyotish Academy · Level 4

Understand Yogas

Six lessons, about 43 minutes of reading. Levels 1 to 3 are assumed — you should be able to assess a planet’s dignity before starting.

By the end you will be able to identify the main yogas in any chart — and, more usefully, apply a five-question filter that tells you how much any of them is actually worth. Half this level is about judging significance rather than memorising names.
