Kemadruma Yoga

How it forms

No planet other than the Sun in either the 2nd or the 12th house from the Moon, and no planet conjunct the Moon — the Moon standing entirely alone.

What the tradition says

Classically read as isolation, fluctuating circumstances and struggle, particularly in the earlier part of life.

An honest reading

This is a yoga worth stating plainly: it is widely used to frighten people into buying remedies. It is also cancelled by several common conditions — planets in kendras from the Moon, the Moon itself in a kendra from the Lagna, or benefic aspect on the Moon — so genuine uncancelled instances are uncommon. If someone tells you that you have Kemadruma and that a stone will fix it, be sceptical.

Check this one manually

Our engine doesn't currently detect Kemadruma 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.

Create your free kundli

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.
