What Is Ruchaka Yoga?
Ruchaka yoga is said to be the sharp and radiant yoga. The root “Rucha” means bright, radiant. Depending on the strength of the yoga in the horoscope, Ruchaka yoga has all the good qualities associated with planet Mars. Mars being the planet of war, a Ruchaka yoga native is supposed to be great in strength, bravery, power and victory. Has a long life, has material comforts, has a visible potential and is born with leadership qualities. The natives benefiting from Ruchaka yoga may achieve good results as athletes, sportsmen, body builders, police officers, army officers, naval officers, air force officers and other officers related to the field of defense services, politicians, ministers and many other types of professionals, depending on the overall tone of their horoscopes.
Importance Of Planets With Ruchaka Yoga
The formation of Ruchaka yoga is a rare phenomenon and not every person who is born with it in their birth chart possesses all the beneficial qualities of this yoga. There are a number of other aspects that determine the strength of this yoga and its influence on the zodiac and personality of the individual. The most important factor for the formation of Ruchaka yoga in a horoscope is that Mars should be working as a benefic planet in a horoscope, apart from being placed in any one of the 1st, 4th, 7th or 10th houses of the signs already mentioned above.
Benefic planets are necessary for good things to happen in a positive yoga, while malefic planets may give some temporary gains to some natives but the person cannot benefit from it in the long run. Also, to form a Ruchaka yoga of good strength, Mars should have a good level of activity. The strength of any good or bad yoga depends on the strength and level of activity of the planet forming the yoga in a horoscope. A strength below 20% is ignored as any type of yoga and is not capable of producing significant results, while a strength above 80% can give extreme results.
Things To Remember
It is important to understand that a person born with Ruchaka yoga in his/her horoscope may not start benefiting from it right from his/her early days. Different yogas have different activation times in different horoscopes. Once the formation and activation of Ruchaka yoga are confirmed in a horoscope, its strength needs to be checked. The strength of his yoga can be checked through the placement of Mars in different houses, different zodiac signs and different nakshatras, as well as through the influence of other positive and negative planets on Mars in a horoscope in that time.
The Ruchaka yoga in one’s birth chart needs to be followed closely. It’s strength and activation could be very influential in the native’s life while taking important decisions. It reveals ones potential and gives a path to follow. It can be a guide to make the best possible use of all the tools available.
