Sanskrit: “cart, wagon”
The Moon placed in the 6th, 8th or 12th house counted from Jupiter.
Fortune that rises and falls like a cartwheel — periods of gain followed by reversal.
Most texts hold that it is cancelled if the Moon occupies a kendra from the Lagna, which is a frequent enough condition that the yoga is often nullified. Read it as a description of variability, not of doom.

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.
