Verse 1 — Vipareeta Raja Yoga — Definition

[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only: ṣaṣṭha-aṣṭama-dvādaśādīnāṁ patayaḥ kendra-saṁsthitāḥ | viparītaṁ rāja-yogaṁ dhana-rājya-phala-pradam ||]

ṣaṣṭha-aṣṭama-dvādaśādīnāṁ patayaḥ kendra-saṁsthitāḥ | viparītaṁ rāja-yogaṁ dhana-rājya-phala-pradam ||

When the lords of the 6th, 8th and 12th houses occupy kendras (angular houses) from the Lagna, Vipareeta Raja Yoga is formed; the native rises to great wealth and authority.

Verse 2 — 6th Lord in Kendra — Vipareeta Partial

[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only: ṣaṣṭheśaḥ kendra-saṁsthitaḥ yadi phalaṁ dadyād dhana-ārogyam | śatru-jayaṁ vidyā-dhanaṁ ca vindati janaḥ ||]

ṣaṣṭheśaḥ kendra-saṁsthitaḥ yadi phalaṁ dadyād dhana-ārogyam | śatru-jayaṁ vidyā-dhanaṁ ca vindati janaḥ ||

When only the 6th lord is in a kendra, partial Vipareeta Raja Yoga arises; the native conquers enemies, gains health and accrues learning and wealth through competition.

Verse 3 — 8th Lord in Kendra — Vipareeta Partial

[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only: aṣṭheśaḥ kendra-saṁsthitaḥ dīrgha-āyuḥ dhana-saṁyutaḥ | vividha-upāya-saṁyuktaḥ sarva-duḥkha-vivarjitaḥ ||]

aṣṭheśaḥ kendra-saṁsthitaḥ dīrgha-āyuḥ dhana-saṁyutaḥ | vividha-upāya-saṁyutaḥ sarva-duḥkha-vivarjitaḥ ||

When the 8th lord is in a kendra, Vipareeta Raja Yoga is partial; the native enjoys longevity, wealth, varied means of livelihood and freedom from grief.

Verse 4 — 12th Lord in Kendra — Vipareeta Partial

[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only: dvādaśeśaḥ kendra-saṁsthitaḥ vyaya-saukhyam apekṣate | vid-gaṇa-priyaḥ satya-vādī sarva-dāna-phala-pradaḥ ||]

dvādaśeśaḥ kendra-saṁsthitaḥ vyaya-saukhyam apekṣate | vid-gaṇa-priyaḥ satya-vādī sarva-dāna-phala-pradaḥ ||

When the 12th lord is in a kendra, Vipareeta Raja Yoga is partial; the native bears expenditures cheerfully, is generous, truthful and beloved by the learned.

Verse 5 — Dusthana Lords in Mutual Kendras

[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only: ṣaṣṭheśa-aṣṭheśa-saṁyogaḥ kendra-saṁsthitaḥ phala-pradaḥ | vyaya-rogādi-saṁdhānaṁ kṛtsnaṁ dhana-phalaṁ labhet ||]

ṣaṣṭheśa-aṣṭheśa-saṁyogaḥ kendra-saṁsthitaḥ phala-pradaḥ | vyaya-rogādi-saṁdhānaṁ kṛtsnaṁ dhana-phalaṁ labhet ||

When the 6th and 8th lords are mutually associated in a kendra, Vipareeta Raja Yoga is fortified; the native converts expenditure, illness and competition into wealth.

Verse 6 — Dusthana Lords in Each Other's Signs (Parivartana)

[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only: ṣaṣṭheśa-aṣṭheśayoḥ paraspara-rāśi-saṁsthitiḥ | tadā viparīta-yogaḥ phalaṁ dadyāt tad-adhikam ||]

ṣaṣṭheśa-aṣṭheśayoḥ paraspara-rāśi-saṁsthitiḥ | tadā viparīta-yogaḥ phalaṁ dadyāt tad-adhikam ||

When the 6th and 8th lords are in each other's signs (parivartana yoga between dusthana lords), an exceptionally strong Vipareeta Raja Yoga is formed.

Verse 7 — Dusthana Lords in Own Signs — Vipareeta

[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only: ṣaṣṭheśaḥ sva-rāśi-sthitaḥ phalaṁ dadyād viparītam | aṣṭheśaḥ sva-rāśi-sthitaḥ tadā janaḥ sukha-bhāk ||]

ṣaṣṭheśaḥ sva-rāśi-sthitaḥ phalaṁ dadyād viparītam | aṣṭheśaḥ sva-rāśi-sthitaḥ tadā janaḥ sukha-bhāk ||

When the 6th or 8th lord is in its own sign, the native enjoys the reverse of the house's natural meaning — enemies become allies, longevity increases, etc.

Verse 8 — Results of Full Vipareeta Raja Yoga

[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only: viparīta-rāja-yoga-jñaḥ puruṣaḥ sarva-saṁpatti-bhāk | rājā-patir mahā-mānyaḥ sāhasaḥ satya-saṁyutaḥ ||]

viparīta-rāja-yoga-jñaḥ puruṣaḥ sarva-saṁpatti-bhāk | rājā-patir mahā-mānyaḥ sāhasaḥ satya-saṁyutaḥ ||

The native of a full Vipareeta Raja Yoga is honoured like a king, possesses all kinds of wealth, is courageous, truthful and authoritative.
