Parivartana Yogas (Exchange of Signs)
A **Parivartana Yoga** occurs when one planet occupies another planet's sign and vice versa. This exchange strengthens both the planets and the houses involved. There are three primary types of Parivartana Yogas:
| Type of Yoga | Rule and Result |
|---|---|
| 1. Maha Parivartana Yoga | Formed when lords of benefic houses (1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11) exchange signs.
Result: Bestows a royal life, great wealth, status, and happiness. |
| 2. Khala Parivartana Yoga | Formed through an exchange between a benefic house lord and the 3rd house lord.
Result: Life involves extreme ups and downs. One may fluctuate between poverty and wealth, but usually achieves final victory. |
| 3. Dainya Parivartana Yoga | Formed when lords of Dusthanas (6, 8, 12) exchange signs with benefic house lords.
Result: Generally inauspicious. It brings enemies, illnesses, and continuous hardships. Work goes unappreciated. |
