March 18, 2025 Table of Contents
Introduction
In Vedic astrology, Daridra Yoga is one of the most challenging financial yogas. It creates instability in earnings, financial struggles, and career setbacks. The severity of its effects depends on:
✔ The number of Daridra Yoga combinations in the chart.
✔ The influence of benefic planets (Jupiter, Venus, Mercury) to reduce its impact.
✔ The strength of the 2nd and 11th house lords (wealth and income).
✔ Dasha (planetary periods) that activate financial struggles.
Even if a person works hard, has skills, and earns well, Daridra Yoga can create unforeseen losses, high expenses, and wealth destruction.
In this part, we will cover:
✔ How Daridra Yoga affects different areas of life.
✔ The financial, career, and emotional struggles it brings.
✔ How to identify the worst financial periods.
✔ How to reduce its negative impact through proper strategies.

How to Identify the Worst Financial Periods (Dasha & Transits)

2. Transits of Saturn, Rahu, and Ketu Over 2nd, 8th, 12th House
✔ If Saturn transits over the 2nd house (wealth) or 8th house (sudden losses), financial troubles increase.
✔ If Rahu or Ketu move over the 2nd, 8th, or 12th house, unstable financial periods occur.
📌 Example:
- A person has Saturn in the 8th house, and Saturn transits over the 2nd house.
- Effect: Career blocks, debts, or sudden financial problems.
