Shakata Yoga


The word “Shakata” means some type of vehicle. The native belongs to the Shakata Yoga will be suffered from disease. He will be stupid person. He may earn his living by pulling or driving vehicles or cars. Sakata Yoga is not desirable in the rashi of a native as it denotes a vast karmic problem.

If Moon is in the 6th, 8th or 12th House from Jupiter then Sakata yoga is formed in one’s horoscope. If Moon is in a Kendra house (1st, 4th, 7th or 10th House from Ascendant), then Shakat Yoga is cancelled.

For example, if Jupiter is in Pieces and Moon is in Cancer (8th house from Moon), then this Shakat yoga is formed for the native.

Shakat Yoga person is unlucky in wealth and property matters even if he/she is from a royal family. Native will be poor or will loose wealth and become poor. He will not by liked by any relatives due to bad attitude. Even if the person was born with all good planetary positions, the person will feel lonely at the end of the day and will have less or no real friend. He has to deal with all the struggle in life alone.

It is said by Varahamihira that a native of this yoga possesses a bad wife. An inhabitant may suffer from the hatred and abomination from his relationships. The influence of this yoga may be defused if either Vasumati Yoga or Adhi Yoga is present in the person’s horoscope.

If Mercury and Venus is present in 3rd or 6th or 7th or 8th or 10th or 11th house of Moon then Shakat Yoga is completely cancelled. Native will have no effect of this yoga in his or her life.

If Jupiter is in 1st house or 10th house for Pisces or Sagittarius ascendant then this yoga is partly effective, means he will have less of bad effects of this yoga in life. If Moon is in Cancer and Cancer be the ascendant (Jupiter is in Sagittarius, ie 6th house from Moon) then bad effect of this yoga will be minimal.

From my personal observations I found a person with yoga is unpopular among friends and can not make good friends. He looses money easily and do not keep track of expenses. He requires making a note of every expenses to save something.

Some astrologers opined that there are a few evidence of Sakata Yoga people who lose all his property but regained it after some time in his life.

There is no specific remedy for this yoga in astrology. Sometime if Moon is in 6th, 8th or 12th house or in weak placement then remedy for moon is suggested. Same way, if Jupiter is week or in 6th, 8th or 12th house then remedy for Jupiter is suggested here. Native should pray to God regularly to reduce the effect. Shakat Yoga is a malefic yoga to the native. Native should get a remedy for this yoga. To know if you have Shakat Yoga please generate our free horoscope.
