Durudhara Yoga

Sanskrit: “bearing on both sides

How it forms

Planets other than the Sun occupying both the 2nd and the 12th houses from the Moon.

What the tradition says

Support from both directions — generosity, vehicles and comforts, and assistance available through life.

An honest reading

The strongest of the three lunar flanking yogas, since the Moon is supported on both sides rather than one.

Check this one manually

Our engine doesn't currently detect Durudhara Yoga automatically, so we won't claim it either way. Generate your free kundli to see your planetary positions, house placements and dignities, then check the condition above against them yourself.

A note on how to hold any of this: a yoga is one feature of a chart among many, and no combination decides a life on its own. Classical texts frequently disagree on exact conditions, and a yoga’s effects are traditionally read as arriving during the dasha periods of the planets involved rather than continuously. Be particularly wary of any reading that names a difficult yoga and then offers to sell you the cure.
