Gajakesari Yoga is one of the popular yest most misunderstood one. Since two benefics are
involved here, where Moon represents mind and Jupiter represents divine grace, all
astrology classics have given a lot of significance to it.
But we all use it blindly on horoscopes.
As per Sage Parashar, he have mentioned the formation of Gaja Kesari Yoga as
follows:
1.Jupiter should be in Kendra from Moon.
2.Jupiter should not be aspected by malefics.
3.Jupiter should not be retrograde.
Here "Gaja" stands "for Elephant" & "Kesari" stands for Lion.Both are powerful & are
symbol of authority & intelligence.
As per sage Parashar, following good results will be felt by the natives due formations of
Gajakesari Yoga in their Horoscope.
1.Wealthy.
2.Courages.
3.Respected by all.
4.A good speaker.
5.Good in debates.
6.Noble person.
Gajakesari Yoga can be found in charts of many individuals but the results as described in
scriptures is missing most of the time. Personally I have not seen a fully auspicious and
effective Gajakesari Yoga in any of horoscopes, I have dealt so far. May be iam too strict on
guidelines
as
mentioned
in
scriptures!!
Anyways
moving
on
to
the
ground
application
of
Gajakesari
Yoga.
Jupiter being quadrant to Moon is the first condition of Gajakesari Yoga, if we do some
rough calculation, we will find that Moon joins Jupiter for round figure of 2 days, moon will
be present in 4th from Jupiter for round figure of 2 days, it will be present on 7th from
Jupiter for 2 days and finally again moon will be present on 10th from Jupiter for same
period of time.

Here, we can see that every month 30% of people are born with Gajakesari Yoga & therefore
the number of people born with this Yoga is very high,though results associated with it are
not evident in their life.
For clear understanding of readers can see the following charts and feel the difference of
results of Gajakesari Yoga.

First chart is of Nathuram Godse who killed Mahatma Gandhi.

You can see in his horoscope that Jupiter and Moon are in conjunction creating Gajakesari
Yoga. But we all know what he did and can be termed as criminal in simple language.
He killed Mahatma Gandhi when he was in period of Jupiter - Saturn. In other
words Gandhi was killed by him, when he was under Gajakesari period.
Gemini ascendent is rising here with malefic Mars in ascendant while Jupiter Moon are in
conjunction in 4th house.
For Gemini ascendant Moon is a maraka planet and Jupiter suffers from Kendra Adhipatiya
Dosha. Most important here is role of Jupiter.
As per Sage Parashar, benefics when owns Kendra houses looses their benefic qualities and
if afflicted, behaves as a malefic. Here Jupiter which already is having Kendra Adhipati
Dosha is further joined by maraka Moon. 6th lord Mars which rules over criminal
tendencies is also aspecting them via 4th aspect. To make it worse Rahu is also aspecting
Jupiter-Moon from 12th house..In Navamsha Jupiter is in Aries while Moon is in Pisces and

afflicted by Mars again. Jupiter is in Nidhanamsa as per their relative position in D-1 and D9.
While Moon and Mars are in Karamsa as per Rashi Tulya Navamsha.
You can see how Lordship and affliction on Jupiter and Moon turned the results of
Gajakesari Yoga completely.

Now see the horoscope of Hollywood actress and philanthropists

Angelina Jolie.

In her chart Cancer ascendant is rising where Moon and Jupiter are making conjunction in
most auspicious house i.e 9th house. Both Moon and Jupiter are auspicious for Cancer
ascendant natives but Jupiter do carry significations of 6th house also. Mars which is a
Yogakaraka planet for Cancer ascendant natives is making Gajakesari Yoga more
auspicious.
She is a successful actor and attained wealth and fame in her life. Also she is known for her
philanthropy
works
and
is
a
ambassador
for
many
kind
activities.
Clearly
Gajakesari
Yoga
is
working
fully
in
her
case.
Now check her Navamsha you will find that Moon in is Sagittarius and is Shashtamsa as
per Rashi Tulya Navamsa. Jupiter being 6th lord carries blemish of 6th house and in her
case is aspected by Rahu in D-1 and in D-9 is aspected by Venus and Saturn.
Due to blemish of Jupiter being 6th lord and reasons mentioned above ,she underwent a
preventive double mastectomy after learning she had an 87% risk of developing breast
cancer
due
to
a
defective
BRCA1
gene.
All
this
happened
in
VenusMercury-Moon.
In D-9 Venus is aspected by Jupiter while same Venus is in ascendent in D-1.

Therefore you have seen how results of Gajakesari Yoga were different in different
circumstances
Every analysis in astrology require a holistic approach where all factors should be Judged
properly. So when you do a 3D analysis of Gajakesari Yoga, you can find few counters which
are mentioned in astrology scriptures.
1.Jupiter
should
not
2.Jupiter should not be retrograde.

be

aspected

by

malefics.

Though there are only few counters given about Gajakesari Yoga in our
scriptures, still there are many points which needs to be considered by every
astrologer.
Apart from that there are some standard rules which should be applied to Gajakesari Yoga.
First of all our sages have mentioned use of Navamsa in their work exhaustively. Every
yogas of astrology need to be consider in navamsha for its proper functioning on actual
grounds.
Use of Navamsa to check applicability of yogas seems very practical, how?
In natal birth chart all aspects changes within two hours due to change of Ascendant and the
minimum stay of a planet in a zodiac is of approx two days which is of moon. Therefore
many times Planetary position remains same for approx two days,which means all babies
taking birth in those two days will be having same Planetary placements in zodiacs, though
none of them is living same life i.e some are born in Kings family while some in Servants
family.
Here comes the role of Nakshatras, navamsha & other Divisional charts.
Moon remains in one Nakshatra for one whole day & changes to other Nakshatra on other
day and while doing so moon travels in 4 padas or quarters of each Nakshatra every day.
Each pada of a Nakshatra corresponds to one Navamsha. Hence each day moon changes
to 4 different Navamsha hence affecting the result of Gajakesari or any other Yoga, same
applied to all planets though speed of each planet through zodiacs or Nakshatras is
different, here we will stick to Moon & Jupiter only.
Now,
coming
back
to
counters
of
Gajakesari
Yogas.
Apart from retrograde motion of Jupiter & aspects of malefics, following
points need to be consider while judging strength of Gajakesari Yoga.
5.Moon
should
not
be
present
in
6th,8th
&
12th
house.
6.In navamsha Moon & Jupiter should not fall in signs which are present in
6th,8th
&
12th
house
in
main
natal
birth
chart(D-1).
7.Moon
should
be
at
least
4
house
away
from
Sun.
8.Moon
should
not
be
in
Kemadruma
Yoga.
9.Moon
should
not
be
in
Gandata.

10. If Jupiter or Moon are in Puskhar Navamsa or Bhaga then good results will
increase significantly.
Moreover in Navamsa, if Jupiter & Moon are again making Gajakesari Yoga then result will
be more effective.

Since we have seen the basic rules of interpretation a yoga and rule with example of
Gajakesari yoga,other important aspect is yet to mentioned by me. Which is role of planets
for different Ascendants.
Role of planets changes from ascendent to ascendent & ascendent changes within two hour,
hence on a particular day when Jupiter & Moon are forming Gajakesari Yoga,the result of it
will change from person to person depending upon their Ascendant,in other words results
will change due to lordship of Moon & Jupiter. Hence bringing ascendent factor in it will
bring more dynamic approach to one's analysis, which is most of the time is not adopted by
astrologers while judging Gajakesari ,Manglik , Saade Sati or any other yoga.

1.For Aries Ascendant Moon rules over 4th house & Jupiter rules over 9th house hence
Jupiter is a benefic planet for Aries ascendent. Unafflicted Gajakesari Yoga without any
counter will give them all good qualities of Gajakesari Yoga like wealth, health, peace,status
and good life for mother.If afflicted then domestic peace will not be there & mother health
can suffer.

2.For Taurus Ascendant Moon rules over 3rd house & Jupiter rules over 8th, Gajakesari
Yoga formed, even without counters won't bless them with good effects associated with it. In
other situation Gajakesari Yoga with affliction over Jupiter and Moon will result in serious

problems in their life because affliction over Jupiter & Moon will disturb their house
significations, forcing them to to give bad result of inauspicious 3rd, 8th & 11th house.

3.Same way for Gemini Ascendant, Moon rules over 2nd house & Jupiter rules over 7th & 10
house. Unafflicted Gajakesari Yoga will result in good financial gains along with good
business opportunities.Though both Jupiter & Moon are marak here hence it will bring
some health issues too.

4.For cancer Ascendant Moon is ascendent lord itself hence a first rate benific for them
while Jupiter lordship is over 6th & 9th house.Here if Jupiter is weak,its 6th house qualities
will be more pronounced and can result in health problems. Though there will be good
effects of it due Jupiter's lordship over 9th house. Here if Gajakesari yoga is unafflicted then
it can make them rise very high in their life. If afflicted then it can give shy timid nature,low
energy, health issues & debt too.

5.For Leo ascendant, Moon is lord of 12th house, hence is not auspicious for them though
Jupiter is a benefic planet despite having lordship over 8th house. For them unafflicted
Gajakesari Yoga can give good life in foreign countries & lots of traveling for good causes.If
afflicted then it can result in problems to children's, education & in laws.

6.For Virgo Ascendant, Moon is lord of 11th house hence becomes a planet for financial
gains,Jupiter is lord 4th & 7th hence a auspicious planet though same time marak too. If
unafflicted Gajakesari Yoga formed here will result into good financial gains & happiness to
elder brother, though some health issues will be there. If its is afflicted then problems with
house,domestic happiness ,friends & disturbed married life can happen.

7.For Libra ascendant,moon is lord of 10th house & Jupiter is lord of 3rd & 6th house hence
Jupiter
is
most
malefic
for
them
Unaffiliated Gajakesari Yoga formed here will result into gain through services, lots of
traveling & good position for younger siblings. In afflicted then it can result in loss of
reputation, problems from authority,health issues to native & their mother.

8.For Scorpio Ascendant, Jupiter is equivalent to Yoga karaka where as Moon is 9th lord
and a clean Gajakesari Yoga can do wonders for them.All good results mentioned by sages
will manifest if both Jupiter and Moon are strong and unafflicted.If afflicted then there can
be problems to father and son.

9.For Sagittarius Ascendant, Moon is lord of most 8th house, which is the most inauspicious
house in astrology. Jupiter is ascendent & 4th house lord. Here unafflicted Gajakesari yoga
will result into inherited property & sudden financial gain, though some health problems
will be there.If afflicted then it will result into severe health issues,lack of domestic peace
,loss of property & health problems to mother.

10.For Capricorn ascendent, Moon rules over 7th house, while Jupiter rules 3rd & 12th
house, hence Jupiter is a malefic planet for Capricorn ascendent.Unafflicted Gajakesari
Yoga will result in travelling for good cause, business in foreign countries though natives &
spouse health can suffer. If afflicted then it will result in severe marital discord along with
problems to younger siblings.

11.For Aquarius Ascendant, Moon is lord of 6th house and is a malefic planet, while Jupiter
being lord of 2nd & 11th house is also not completely benefic. Unafflicted Gajakesari Yoga
will result in gains from service & success in competitions. If afflicted it can result in severe
health issues,problems in family, loss in finance & debt.

12.For Pisces ascendant, Moon is lord of 5th house and is benefic planet for
Pisces.Jupiter being lord of Ascendant & tenth house is a first rate benefic. Unafflicted
Gajakesari Yoga will result into high authority, good status,good finance & all good results
associated with Gajakesari Yoga.If afflicted it will result into problems to children,
overconfidence, problems in job & health issues.

After considering all these mentioned factors Mahadasha should be checked to see the time
of activation of Gajakesari yoga, if present in chart.
Dasha's are like postman who delivers your parcel of good or bad karma's.
After going to each para of this write up I hope readers can see the difference in results of
Gajakesari Yoga, it can give bad results also due to lordship of Moon & Jupiter in birth
chart.
In case of Gajakesari, some good results will always be there because both planets are
benefic in astrology, where Moon represents mind while Jupiter represents divine grace. So
a person born with this combination is always a noble person to some extent & likes to help
others.
