Chatussagara Yoga is caused when all the Kendras are occupied by planets. If in a horoscope, planets are placed in all Kendra houses (1st, 4th, 7th and 10th), counted from ascendant or Moon, Chatussagara Yoga is formed in the horoscope. Chatussagara Yoga can bless the native with good results related to health, lifespan, profession, marriage, education, money, wealth, prosperity, luxuries, reputation, authority, fame and many other good things.

The person will earn good reputation, be an equal to a ruler, have a long and prosperous life, be blessed with good children and health and his name will travel beyond the confines of the four oceans. Planets placed in Kendras add great strength to the horoscope. The four angles in a horoscope are like the four walls of a building.

Planets in the 10th house (Kendra) are more powerful than those in the 7^th house; those in the 7th house are more powerful than those in the 4^th house. Those in the 4^th house, are NOT more powerful than those in the 1^st house as Lagna is the most beneficial house as it is both Kendra and Trikone house.

In real practice, Chatussagara Yoga is not seen producing such results when only the aforementioned condition is met. Hence more conditions should be met in order for this yoga to be formed effectively in a horoscope. Looking at the first condition, at least three Kendra houses should be occupied by benefic planets, for the formation of Chatussagara Yoga in a horoscope. Apart from that; placements of planets in Kendra houses from Moon may not form this yoga in a horoscope. Hence only Kendra houses from ascendant should be considered for the formation of this Yoga.

Taking an example, suppose Saturn is placed in the first house of a horoscope in Pisces, Sun is placed in the seventh house in Virgo, Mars is placed in the fourth house in Gemini and Moon is placed in tenth house in Sagittarius. Saturn and Sun are malefic in this horoscope; and Saturn is placed in the most important house of horoscope; the first house. Hence Chatussagara Yoga may not give results in this case. As both Sun and Saturn loose positional strength in 7^th and 1^st house respectively. Saturn is Dig-Bala Heen (bereft of Dig Bala) in first house and Sun is weak in 7^th house as it is the natural house of Venus it’s bitter enemy.

Taking another example, suppose Jupiter is placed in the first house of a horoscope in Pisces, Mars is placed in the tenth house in Sagittarius, Venus is placed in the fourth house in Gemini and exalted Mercury is placed in the seventh house in Virgo. Jupiter, Mercury and Mars are benefic in the horoscope whereas Venus is malefic. Hence Chatussagara Yoga is formed in this case as Jupiter achieves Dig-Bala in the Lagna (first house), Mars achieves Dig-Bala in the 10^th house and its depositor Jupiter is strongly placed in the Lagna. Similarly, Venus achieves Dig-Bala in 4^th house and its depositor Mercury is exalted in the sign of Virgo in the seventh house.

The strength of this yoga is also calculated through the placements of planets in nakshatras and Navamshas and aspects and conjunction of different planets.

We will discuss the birth chart of Shree Ram as seen below:

As we can observe from the above birth chart of Shree Ram all the four Kendra houses are occupied by planets. Jupiter is placed strongly in the Lagna in its exaltation sign of Cancer. Saturn is placed well in the sign of Libra (though not a good house for Saturn -that explains the hardships in his life). Mars is placed well in the sign of Capricorn (exaltation sign) in the 7^th house. Mercury is placed strongly placed in the 10^th house. Thus, above Chatussagara Yoga gave all the good results in the life of Shree Ram.
