Sanskrit: “exchange”
Two planets occupy each other’s signs — Mars in Venus’s sign while Venus sits in Mars’s, for example. Also called mutual reception.
The two houses involved become linked, and their affairs progress together. Classified as maha (between good houses), khala (mixed), or dainya (involving dushthanas).
One of the most practically useful combinations to look for, because it is unambiguous — either the exchange exists or it does not — and it genuinely ties two areas of life to one another.
Our engine doesn't currently detect Parivartana 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 kundliA 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.
