For Taurus ascendant, evaluate the yoga by checking whether the planets currently described in the formation rule are functional benefics for Taurus (i.e. they own a kendra or trikona house from the Taurus ascendant). The formation rule is: A natural benefic planet (Jupiter, Venus, or unafflicted Mercury or Moon) occupies the 10th house from either the Lagna or the Moon, with no malefic association.
