Geometry for Taurus Ascendant
Vesi Yoga is a structural-class yoga that does not depend on a fixed planetary pair. 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: Any planet other than the Moon occupies the 2nd house from the Sun (i.e., the sign immediately following the Sun's sign). Rahu and Ketu are excluded by most classical authorities.
