Geometry for Aquarius Ascendant
Akhanda Samrajya Yoga is a structural-class yoga that does not depend on a fixed planetary pair. For Aquarius ascendant, evaluate the yoga by checking whether the planets currently described in the formation rule are functional benefics for Aquarius (i.e. they own a kendra or trikona house from the Aquarius ascendant). The formation rule is: The lord of the 2nd, 9th, or 11th house occupies a kendra (1, 4, 7, 10) while Jupiter aspects the 2nd, 5th, or 11th house from the lagna. Phaladeepika classes this as one of the highest royalty yogas.
House Lordship in Aquarius Chart
Because Akhanda Samrajya Yoga is structural rather than planet-specific, the house-lordship analysis depends on which planets satisfy the rule in your particular birth chart. Calculate the houses ruled by those planets from the Aquarius ascendant and assess functional benefic status accordingly.
Aquarius-Specific Verdict
