In Sanskrit, Sakata means cart or carriage. In ancient times, people used to travel by these and the roads were not finely tarred like present times. So, the cart ride was never comfortable the road has a lot of potholes and had to go through pebbles and rocks. Aching all the joints in the body. It was the same for the king as well. Likewise, the people with this yoga will have a rough journey, in their life enduring all the uphills and downhills. Remember here, the King also had the same kind of journey even though he was traveling in his chariot.

Formation

Generally, presence of Shakat/Sakat Yog in a horoscope cancels all other yoga. In Phaldipika, it says “The Moon in the 12th, 8th or 6th house from Jupiter causes Sakata Yoga”. The Sakata yoga is cancelled when the Moon is in the Kendra from Lagna/Ascendant/1st house. Jataka Parijata also has the same view about Sakata yoga.

Effects

For a person who has Sakata Yoga in their horoscope, experiences rise and fall simultaneously in their life. Such people also tend to see success late in their lives and during a fixed point in their lives; they tend to lose everything that they have achieved so far. Also, these are the people who get distracted very easily and they continuously need to push themselves forward in life and clutch their goals.
