Geometry for Aries Ascendant
Indu Yoga is a structural-class yoga that does not depend on a fixed planetary pair. For Aries ascendant, evaluate the yoga by checking whether the planets currently described in the formation rule are functional benefics for Aries (i.e. they own a kendra or trikona house from the Aries ascendant). The formation rule is: Computed by adding specific Kala values to the Moon position: Sun=30, Moon=16, Mars=6, Mercury=8, Jupiter=10, Venus=12, Saturn=1. Sum the Kala for the 9th lord from lagna and 9th lord from Moon, divide by 12, count from Moon to find Indu Lagna. Wealth-related events read from Indu Lagna.
House Lordship in Aries Chart
Because Indu 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 Aries ascendant and assess functional benefic status accordingly.
Aries-Specific Verdict
Indu Yoga is favorable in principle, but its strength for Aries ascendant depends on the specific planets that satisfy the formation rule in the native's chart. Evaluate planet-by-planet.
For the yoga's overall description, formation rule, and general effects across all charts, see Indu Yoga overview. This page focuses exclusively on Aries-ascendant outcomes.
Activation Timing for Aries

Cancellation Conditions
Cancellation conditions for Indu Yoga are detailed in BPHS and Saravali. For Aries ascendant specifically, check whether the planets satisfying the formation rule are debilitated, combust, or in dusthana houses (6, 8, 12) before concluding the yoga is active.

FAQ
Q.Is Indu Yoga stronger or weaker for Aries ascendant?
Comparable to the average across lagnas. The yoga is neither yogakaraka-amplified nor dusthana-diluted for Aries ascendant; standard rules apply.
Q.Which dasha activates Indu Yoga for Aries natives?
The dasha periods of whichever planets satisfy Indu Yoga's formation rule in your chart. Identify those planets first, then check Aries-specific house lordship.
Q.What career fits Indu Yoga for Aries ascendant?

Q.What if Indu Yoga forms but is debilitated for Aries?
Debilitation reduces the yoga's strength but does not always cancel it.

For Aries specifically, the dispositor's house lordship matters.
Q.Does Indu Yoga guarantee results for Aries natives?
No yoga is unconditional. Indu Yoga for Aries requires participating planets to be dignified, unafflicted, and supported by chart factors. Many natives have Indu Yoga in name only, the planets are present but weak. Classical texts (BPHS, Saravali, Phaladeepika) explicitly warn against assuming yoga = results.

A yoga formed by functional benefics for your lagna is stronger than one formed by functional malefics.
