Geometry for Aquarius Ascendant
Chamara 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 lagna lord exalted in a kendra and aspected by Jupiter, OR two benefics in the lagna with the lagna lord exalted. Saravali describes two variants of formation.
House Lordship in Aquarius Chart
Because Chamara 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
Chamara Yoga is favorable in principle, but its strength for Aquarius ascendant depends on the specific planets that satisfy the formation rule in the native's chart. Evaluate planet-by-planet.
