Musala Yoga
Musala (the pestle): all the planets are in Sthira rashis, the fixed signs. A person with this yoga will be proud, educated, wealthy, respected by his superiors, famous. He will have a resolute character and will be blessed with the birth of sons.
The placement of planets in Sthira rashis brings stability, the duration of something, definiteness and reliability. And it is not essential for all the planets to be placed in them; it is enough that the majority of them are.
| The shadow side of this yoga is stubbornness, an inability to take a quick decision or to change anything. The best example of the dominance of Sthira rashis is the horoscope of Dr Raman. All the planets apart from the Sun occupy kendras in Sthira rashis. The Lagna is in a Sthira rashi too. All of this gives the horoscope a distinct stability. Dr Raman lived in one and the same place from early childhood. |

The fixed signs: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius. They are connected with the guna of ignorance — in the sense that the guna of ignorance is static and immobile. If all or most of the planets in a birth chart are distributed among these signs, this combination is called Musala yoga.
Natives with Musala yoga love to study and to acquire knowledge. They enjoy well-deserved respect in society and often earn thanks to well-established social connections. They may hold high posts in society or move in circles of power, extracting the greatest benefit from relationships and from their social position; they like to strike up connections with important people in order to stabilise their life.
Natives are inclined to choose activities in which constancy, stasis and stability predominate. These signs give patience and the ability to engage in routine work in traditional and conservative spheres.
Musala yoga is formed when Rahu is placed in the 10th house, provided that the ruler of the 10th is in exaltation and under an aspect from Saturn. The person will be healthy, smiling, a successful businessman, a minister, or simply an influential figure.
