Nābhāsa Yogas in Astrology: 32 Celestial Patterns Explained

Have you ever felt that your life’s path, relationships, or career were mysteriously patterned—even before you made major decisions?

In Vedic astrology, this isn’t a coincidence.

It could be the effect of a powerful and rare configuration in your birth chart known as Nābhāsa Yoga. These planetary formations are believed to shape your entire personality, life direction, and karmic outcomes—not just for a year or two, but for your whole life.

Let’s unravel the mystery of these 32 yogas and understand how they silently direct our lives.

What Are Nābhāsa Yogas?

Nābhāsa Yogas (नाभास योग) are celestial patterns formed by the placement of all seven visible planets (Sun to Saturn) in a birth chart. The word “Nābhāsa” means “sky” or “celestial space,” indicating that these yogas cover macro-level influences—more significant than daily, monthly, or yearly planetary transits.

Unlike specific yogas that might affect one area of life (like Raj Yoga for success or Gaja Kesari Yoga for intelligence), Nābhāsa Yogas define your overall life experience, mindset, societal influence, and even spiritual evolution.

Types of Nābhāsa Yogas: The Big 32

Nābhāsa Yogas are classified into four broad categories based on the planets’ distribution in the birth chart:

Category	Number of Yogas	Description
Ākṛti Yogas	20	Based on geometric patterns (like Chakra, Shakti, Gola)
Saṅkhyā Yogas	7	Based on how many houses planets occupy
Āśraya Yogas	3	Based on the type of signs planets fall in (Moveable, Fixed, Dual)
Dala Yogas	2	Based on benefic vs malefic groupings in Kendra (angular) houses

Let’s understand a few popular examples…

Ākṛti Yogas – When the Sky Paints Patterns

These yogas occur when all 7 planets fall into specific shapes or alignments in the 12 houses.

Chakra Yoga
Planets spread across six alternate houses (like 1st, 3rd, 5th…)
Life Outcome: Influential personality, blessed with wealth and a strong network.

Shakti Yoga
Planets in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th houses
Life Outcome: Dynamic leadership, high resilience, natural authority.

Gada Yoga
Planets in two adjacent kendras (like 1st & 4th)
Life Outcome: Excellent communicator, public recognition, prosperity.

Saṅkhyā Yogas – Counting the Celestial Balance

These depend on how spread out or clustered the planets are.

Sthir Yoga (Planets in 4 houses)
Outcome: Emotionally grounded, disciplined, steady life path.

Kedara Yoga (Planets in 4 different signs)
Outcome: Generous, service-oriented, rooted in community or agricultural work.

Āśraya Yogas – Sign-Based Power Play

These are simple yet impactful yogas depending on sign types.

Yoga	Sign Type	Result
Rājju Yoga	Moveable Signs	Constant travel, life changes, versatile personality
Musala Yoga	Fixed Signs	Stability, mental strength, resistance to change
Nala Yoga	Dual Signs	Adaptability, dual career paths, spiritual tendencies

Dala Yogas – When Energy Splits

These arise when only benefic or only malefic planets occupy the angular houses (1st, 4th, 7th, 10th).

Mālik Yoga
Benefics (Moon, Venus, Jupiter, Mercury) in kendras
Outcome: Luxurious life, popularity, inner peace, spiritual progress

Kārak Yoga
Malefics (Sun, Mars, Saturn) in kendras
Outcome: Life struggles in early years but powerful transformation and success later

Why Nābhāsa Yogas Matter More Than You Think

While transits (Gochar), dashas, or moon signs affect you temporarily, Nābhāsa Yogas define the entire blueprint of your life’s journey. From your core traits to how people perceive you, to your ability to manifest success or spiritual growth—everything is tied to these yogas.

Even if your chart has challenges like planetary afflictions or retrogrades, a positive Nābhāsa Yoga can offset many doshas and bring surprising success.

But interpreting them with precision requires deep astrological expertise, not just a surface-level app or generic horoscope.
