Daridra Yoga (Part 4): Affliction of 2nd & 11th House (Wealth & Gains): 3 Powerful Examples
March 17, 2025 Table of Contents
Introduction
In Vedic astrology, financial prosperity is largely influenced by the 2nd house (Dhana Bhava) and the 11th house (Labha Bhava).
- The 2nd house governs income, wealth accumulation, speech, and family assets.
- The 11th house represents financial gains, success in business, and fulfillment of desires.
When these houses are afflicted by malefic planets (Saturn, Rahu, Ketu, Mars) or influenced by Marakas (2nd and 7th house lords), it leads to severe financial instability, loss of wealth, and difficulty in earning a stable income. This is another major form of Daridra Yoga that affects an individual’s ability to create and maintain wealth.
How the 2nd & 11th House Afflictions Create Daridra Yoga
✔ A weak or afflicted 2nd house results in poor money management, family disputes over wealth, or loss of inherited property.
✔ A weak or afflicted 11th house causes delays or obstacles in earning money, failure in business, or unstable financial growth.
✔ If both houses are afflicted, financial struggles are long-term, leading to debts, poverty, or bankruptcy.
Common Combinations That Create This Form of Daridra Yoga
