Sanskrit: “possessing wealth, the earth”
Natural benefics — Jupiter, Venus and Mercury — occupying the upachaya houses, the 3rd, 6th, 10th and 11th, counted from the Lagna or the Moon.
Benefics in houses 3, 6, 10 or 11. Most formulations require at least two benefics; some accept one. Counting from the Moon as well as the Lagna makes this one of the more frequently satisfied yogas in the classical repertoire, which should temper how much weight it carries.
Self-made resource: wealth that accrues through effort and improves over time rather than arriving at once.
Stronger with more benefics involved and stronger where they fall in the 10th and 11th rather than the 3rd and 6th. A benefic that is also a functional benefic for that Lagna counts for considerably more than one that merely qualifies by nature.
Combustion is the usual spoiler for Mercury and Venus given their proximity to the Sun. Benefics in upachayas but debilitated are generally held not to qualify.
The upachaya principle carries its own timing: these houses are traditionally read as strengthening progressively through life, so Vasumati is described as a yoga that matures rather than one that switches on during a particular dasha.
Sources differ on the minimum number of benefics and on whether the 6th belongs in the qualifying set, since a benefic in the 6th is elsewhere read as compromised. Reckoning from the Moon is accepted by some authorities and rejected by others.
A modest and fairly common yoga. Its interest lies in the upachaya principle — that certain houses improve with age — more than in any dramatic promise.
Our engine doesn't currently detect Vasumati Yoga automatically, so we won't claim it either way. Generate your free kundli to see your planetary positions, house placements and dignities, then check the condition above against them yourself.
Create your free kundliA note on how to hold any of this: a yoga is one feature of a chart among many, and no combination decides a life on its own. Classical texts frequently disagree on exact conditions, and a yoga’s effects are traditionally read as arriving during the dasha periods of the planets involved rather than continuously. Be particularly wary of any reading that names a difficult yoga and then offers to sell you the cure.
