Purnayu Yoga (Part 2): Powerful Lagna & 8th House-Based Purnayu Yogas
April 7, 2025 Table of Contents
Introduction
In Part 1, we explored the fundamentals of Purnayu Yoga, which ensures a long lifespan of 75-100 years. Now, we focus on the two most crucial components in determining longevity: Lagna (Ascendant) and the 8th house.
The Lagna represents physical strength, immunity, and vitality, while the 8th house governs longevity, transformations, and karmic debts. When both are strong, well-placed, and supported by benefic influences, they contribute to Purnayu Yoga, allowing the individual to live a long, stable life with resilience to diseases and challenges.
What We Will Cover in This Part
✔ How the Lagna (Ascendant) contributes to Purnayu Yoga.
✔ How the 8th house influences longevity and transformation.
✔ Specific planetary combinations forming Purnayu Yoga through the Lagna and 8th house.
✔ Case studies of individuals with strong Lagna & 8th house Purnayu Yogas.
1. The Role of Lagna in Purnayu Yoga
The Lagna and its lord are the foundation of physical and mental strength. A well-placed Lagna ensures that the body is capable of withstanding diseases, accidents, and challenges over time.
🔹 When Does Lagna Indicate Purnayu Yoga?
✔ Lagna lord is exalted, in own sign, or in a friendly sign.
✔ Lagna is occupied by benefic planets (Jupiter, Venus, Mercury).
✔ Lagna lord is in a Kendra (1st, 4th, 7th, 10th) or Trikona (5th, 9th) house.
✔ Lagna receives aspects from strong Jupiter or Saturn.

🔹 When Does the 8th House Indicate Purnayu Yoga?
✔ 8th house lord is exalted, in own sign, or in a friendly sign.
✔ 8th house is occupied by Jupiter, Saturn, or benefic planets (which enhance longevity).
