Ruchak Yoga in Horoscope
Ruchak Yoga is one of the powerful Panch Mahapurush Raj Yogas mentioned in classic Vedic astrology texts. It is formed by the strong placement of Mars (Mangal) in a horoscope. When Mars occupies its own sign (Aries or Scorpio) or exalted sign (Capricorn) in the Kendra houses (1st, 4th, 7th, or 10th) from the Ascendant (Lagna), Ruchak Yoga is formed. This yoga blesses the native with courage, leadership, power, fame, success, energy, and victory over enemies.
Ruchakayoga Formed when Mars, exalted (in Makara) or in its own sign (Mesha or Vrishchika), is located in a kendra from the lagna. This yoga cannot exist when the lagna is a Dwiswabhava rashi. It can only occur when the lagna is a Chara or a Sthira rashi.
One born in Ruchaka yoga is good looking and handsome. He has a prominent face, beautiful eyebrows, dark hair and a clear, somewhat darkish, complexion. He has a slim waist and slim lower limbs. Such a native is bold and courageous, full of strength and vigour, and eager to pursue adventurous activities wherefrom lie earns name and fame. He has a royal bearing.
He is ever intent on combat. He is the commander of an army or leader of a gang of thieves, busy undertaking rigorous physical exercise, and annihilator of his opponents. Ruchaka yoga confers on the native a capacity for discrimina- t ion. Such a native is devoted to elders, preceptors and Brahmins. I Ie is also versed in sacred hymns as well as magic spells directed at his enemies for such pursuits as killing, fascinating, subjugating, detaching or creating ill-will.
He bears scars on his body from fire, injuries or surgical operations. He lives happily to an age of seventy years when he leaves this world in the vicinity of a temple, suffering injury from fire or weapons. Note: Ruchaka yoga results from a predominant influence of Mars in the horoscope.
True to its nature, Mars instils into the native a capacity for valour, adventure and dominance, with consequent proneness to physical suffering and injury. A strong Mars ensures immense physical strength and dominance in combat. It is necessary, however, that the apparent strength of Mars in the birth chart persists in the vargas, particularly the navamsha, also. Otherwise, the results mentioned above may not fructify to the fullest extent.
Formation of Ruchak Yoga
To create this yoga in the natal chart:
Mars must be placed in 1st, 4th, 7th or 10th house (Kendra).
Mars should be in its own sign (Aries/Scorpio) or exalted (Capricorn).
The Lagna should support the strength of Mars and overall horoscope.
When these conditions are fulfilled without any affliction, a powerful Ruchak Yoga is formed which makes the person dynamic and influential.
When Ruchak Yoga Becomes Weak
If Mars is debilitated, combust, retrograde, or afflicted by malefic planets (like Rahu, Ketu, Saturn), the power of this yoga reduces. The person may then suffer from anger, aggression, injury, blood disorders or legal problems rather than benefiting.
