Nala Yoga

Nala yoga occurs if all the planets occupy Dvisvabhava rashis (Dual signs). The dual signs are Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces. A person born with this yoga has defects of the limbs, is unshakeable, very clever, and has changeable prosperity.

When dual signs predominate in the placement of most of the planets, a tendency to lose favourable opportunities is possible, leading to disappointment and despondency. The first half of a dual sign from 0º to 15º may be regarded as fixed, the second half from 15º to 30º as movable.

An important point is the belonging of two benefics to the dual signs: Mercury — the planet of intellect, and Jupiter — the planet of wisdom. When several planets occupy these signs, spirituality and intellect will predominate in the person.

Varahamihira described the acquisition of the following qualities as a result of the placement of the Moon in a dual sign: generosity, enthusiasm, inventiveness.
