Hamsa yoga (Jupiter)

How often it forms

Share of 3,000 charts computed by the JyotiSoft engine for random births (1950–2010, any hour, places from 40° S to 60° N). A common yoga is not a lesser one, but its presence alone says little; what matters is its strength in the whole chart.

Where Jupiter must stand for each ascendant

What it gives

The swan in Indian imagery is said to separate milk from water: discernment. The texts describe the Hamsa native as righteous, learned, respected by good people and often drawn to teaching, law, religion, medicine or advice. It is the yoga of the trusted elder, at any age.

What makes it strong

Jupiter in the 1st gives a generous, optimistic character; in the 4th, a happy home and learning; in the 7th, a wise partner and fair dealings; in the 10th, an honoured profession. The houses Jupiter rules for your ascendant matter: for Taurus or Libra rising Jupiter rules difficult houses, and the yoga's blessings come with obligations. Its sixteen-year dasha is the time it shows most.

Living with it

Hamsa rewards study and generosity. Its classical risk is complacency: a person who is always given the benefit of the doubt can stop examining themselves. Teaching others is the traditional way to keep the swan's discernment sharp.
