Yoga Check for Jupiter in the 2nd House (Aries Ascendant)
| Yoga | Condition Required | For Aries Rising |
|---|---|---|
| Hamsa Yoga | Jupiter in a kendra (1st, 4th, 7th, or 10th) in its own or exaltation sign | Not met. Neither the kendra condition nor the own or exaltation sign condition is met, so Hamsa Yoga does not form for this ascendant. |
| Raj Yoga by Lordship | kendra and trikona lordships joined in one planet, or a trikona lord placed in a kendra (and vice versa) | Not met. Jupiter's 9th and 12th lordship and its 2nd house seat do not join a kendra with a trikona for Aries rising. |
| Viparita Raja Yoga Potential | a dusthana lord (6th, 8th, or 12th) placed in another dusthana | Not met. Jupiter rules a dusthana but sits in the 2nd, so the viparita inversion does not trigger from placement. |
