Geometry for Aquarius Ascendant
Vosi 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: Any planet other than the Moon occupies the 12th house from the Sun (i.e., the sign immediately preceding the Sun's sign). Most classical texts exclude Rahu and Ketu.
House Lordship in Aquarius Chart
Because Vosi 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
Vosi 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.

Activation Timing for Aquarius
Vosi Yoga activates during the dasha periods of whichever planets satisfy the formation rule in the native's chart. For Aquarius ascendant, prioritize the dashas of planets ruling kendra (1, 4, 7, 10) or trikona (5, 9) houses.
Cancellation Conditions
Cancellation conditions for Vosi Yoga are detailed in BPHS and Saravali. For Aquarius 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.

Q.What if Vosi Yoga forms but is debilitated for Aquarius?
Debilitation reduces the yoga's strength but does not always cancel it. Check for Neecha Bhanga (debilitation cancellation) conditions: if the dispositor of the debilitated planet is strong, or if exalted planets aspect, the yoga can still produce results, sometimes with a delay. For Aquarius specifically, the dispositor's house lordship matters.

No yoga is unconditional. Vosi Yoga for Aquarius requires participating planets to be dignified, unafflicted, and supported by chart factors. Many natives have Vosi 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.

Q.When does Vosi Yoga give results?
Yogas give their strongest results during the mahadasha or antardasha of the participating planets. For Vosi Yoga, watch for the dasha periods of the planets involved. Transit support (Jupiter or Saturn transiting over the yoga-forming planets) also activates results.
