Mahapurusha Yoga

Hamsa Yoga

A Panch Mahapurusha yoga of Jupiter — the wise, righteous, respected soul.

What is Hamsa Yoga?

Hamsa Yoga ("swan") is the Panch Mahapurusha yoga formed by a powerful Jupiter. It grants wisdom, righteousness, spirituality, respect and a virtuous, dignified nature — the archetype of the teacher, guide, sage or respected authority.

Natives with Hamsa Yoga are ethical, learned and well-respected, often drawn to knowledge, dharma and service. They tend to enjoy good fortune, a pleasant appearance and a life guided by principle.

How it forms: Hamsa Yoga forms when Jupiter is in its own sign (Sagittarius or Pisces) or exalted (Cancer) AND placed in a Kendra (1st, 4th, 7th or 10th house) from the Lagna.
