Yoga Check for Jupiter in the 9th House (Leo Ascendant)
| Yoga | Condition Required | For Leo 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. |
