Yoga Check for Venus in the 5th House (Gemini Ascendant)
| Yoga | Condition Required | For Gemini Rising |
|---|---|---|
| Malavya Yoga | Venus in a kendra (1st, 4th, 7th, or 10th) in its own or exaltation sign | Not met. Venus has the right sign (Libra, moolatrikona) but the 5th is not a kendra, so Malavya Yoga narrowly fails. |
| 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. Venus's 12th and 5th lordship and its 5th house seat do not join a kendra with a trikona for Gemini rising. |
| Viparita Raja Yoga Potential | a dusthana lord (6th, 8th, or 12th) placed in another dusthana | Not met. Venus rules a dusthana but sits in the 5th, so the viparita inversion does not trigger from placement. |
