Gajakesari Yoga – What It Is and How Beneficial It Can Be?

According to Vedic astrology, many types of yogas form in a horoscope, some giving auspicious effects and some inauspicious. Among the auspicious yogas, Gajakesari Yoga is also considered favorable. With the formation of this yoga, natives receive strong financial gains and their economic status becomes powerful. They get promotions in life and gain fame as strong, agile, and skilled speakers.

Formation of Gajakesari Yoga in Horoscope

Gajakesari Yoga forms when Jupiter is placed in a kendra (first, fourth, seventh, and tenth house) from the Moon in the horoscope. Then a fruitful Gajakesari Yoga forms, but the house, sign, nakshatra, and the position of Jupiter hold extreme importance in its creation. Jupiter is considered the significator of children, religious deeds, wealth, charity, and virtue, while the Moon is the significator of mind, mother, mental state, morale, material objects, peace, wealth, and prosperity.

Native Born in Gajakesari Yoga

A native born in this yoga becomes a skilled speaker, enjoys royal comforts, and holds a high position.
Such natives always receive the blessings of Lord Ganesha. Because of this, the native is intelligent and gains respect in society.
Natives born in Gajakesari Yoga are active, agile, and courageous. They possess the ability to perform every task and achieve success in it.

When Gajkesari Yoga Becomes Effective

Around 20 to 33 percent people have Gajakesari Yoga in their horoscope. But this yoga gives auspicious results only when retrograde or debilitated planets do not aspect it.
A strong or effective Gajakesari Yoga also forms when Jupiter aspects the Moon with its 5th or 9th aspect.
If Jupiter and Moon are together in Cancer sign and no malefic planet aspects them, then it forms a highly fortunate Gajakesari Yoga.
The reason is that Jupiter becomes exalted in Cancer and the Moon is in its own sign as lord of Cancer.
The first, fourth, seventh, and tenth houses are considered kendras, and if Gajakesari Yoga forms in auspicious houses in kendra, then it becomes highly beneficial.
In addition, Gajkesari Yoga is also favorable in trikon houses like fifth or ninth. Along with this, when Jupiter’s mahadasha runs with Moon’s antardasha or Moon’s mahadasha runs with Jupiter’s antardasha, Gajkesari Yoga proves fruitful.
If this yoga does not form in the sixth, eighth, or tenth houses and Jupiter is in Pisces or Sagittarius sign, or in Venus’s sign Taurus, then it remains beneficial.
If Venus is in a kendra (first, fifth, seventh, or tenth house) from the Moon, then Gajakesari Yoga also forms. Also, if Mercury and Jupiter receive aspect from Moon and the Moon is in the seventh house from both, then Gajakesari Yoga also forms from Mercury.

When Gajakesari Yoga Does Not Become Fruitful

If this yoga forms in the sixth, eighth, or twelfth houses of the horoscope, then it becomes very less effective.
If in a horoscope an auspicious Moon and an inauspicious Jupiter are together in the same house, then the native may face problems.
If this yoga forms in the debilitation signs of the Moon or Jupiter, then it gives no results, meaning it becomes ineffective.
Also, if Jupiter and Moon become strong and form Gajkesari Yoga, but Kemadrum Yoga also forms, then this yoga becomes ineffective.

Benefits of Gajkesari Yoga

When this powerful and beneficial yoga forms in the first house of the horoscope, it makes the person healthy, prestigious, and influential.
When the Moon and Jupiter unite in the 7th house, the native becomes skilled, wealthy, and a businessman. In this house, Gajakesari Yoga gives financial gains through partnerships.
In the 4th house, Gajkesari Yoga makes the native equal to kings, ministers, and scholars. It also provides domestic comforts and luxuries.
In the 9th house, the union of Moon and Jupiter connects the native with religious deeds and gives immense support of luck.
In the 10th house, Gajkesari Yoga makes the native scholarly, wealthy, and respected. The presence of Moon and Jupiter in this house proves highly favorable for career prospects, high status, and financial prosperity.
In the 11th house, Gajkesari Yoga gives wealth, fame, powerful connections with politicians, and good relations with government officials. It also provides business profits.

In addition, the union of Jupiter and Moon in the 12th house gives liberation, and the native starts living an ascetic life from middle age. His behavior becomes pure and intelligent like a sage or yogi. However, this yoga also gives him the fortune of foreign travel and his spouse can also be a foreigner.
