Durudhara Yoga: The Complete Protective Circle Of The Moon

Strong guardians before and after the mind

In Indian astrology among the series of yogas based on the Moon Durudhara Yoga is regarded as the most balanced powerful and fully rewarding yoga. This yoga is actually a very beautiful and royal coordination of Sunapha meaning a planet before the Moon and Anapha meaning a planet after the Moon.

In simple words the Moon is our mind. When on both sides before the second house and after the twelfth house strong guardians planets are standing then the mind neither drifts nor feels insecure. Such a person displays extraordinary balance and stability in every front of life whether economic mental or social.

How Durudhara Yoga is formed

The principle of the formation of this yoga is very clear and logical.

Core rule	Astrological condition
Planets on both sides of Moon	In the twelfth house directly before and the second house directly after the Moon there must be a planet
Exception	Excluding Rahu, Ketu and practically the Sun

Why is the exception of Rahu Ketu made. Rahu and Ketu are shadow planets which when joined with the Moon create Grahan Dosha or mental confusion which is opposite to the basic nature of Rajyoga.

Why is the exception of the Sun made. When a planet is too close to the Sun it becomes combust so it loses its independent and auspicious effect.
