Yogas and how they function?

There are many different types of Yogas in Vedic Astrology. Actually, this is one area where I will accept that Vedic Astrology is way ahead to any other branch of Astrology, i.e. Yogas or Combination of Planets.

Some yogas are positive by nature like Gaj Kesari Yoga and Shubh Kartari Yoga etc. Whereas some others are negative kind of Yoga Paap Kartari Yoga (PKY) or Mangalik etc.

As I see, every yoga has some good or bad qualities. For example, even with PKY involving 10th house, it is trying to guide you that your relation with authority figures my not work and working under anyone's authority may be the worst idea. Hence, person should think about his own business in such case.

But as soon as we see a negative yoga, we try to start finding where that negative yoga is getting cancelled. We start looking for Parivartan Yoga and Neech Bhang Raaj Yogas (NBRY) etc and start feeling that things are not so messed up due to that negative yoga. This is nothing but seeking consolation somewhere as human mind always seeks consolation.

I am not saying that Yogas like Parivartan Yoga or Neech Bhang Raaj Yoga doesn't exist. Of course they exist. But saying that because of one parivartan yoga, the negative combinations involved were "totally absolved" is a wrong approach. Saying that Jupiter's aspect on 1 house or 1 malefic planet will completely remove all negativity surrounding that house or planet is wrong approach. Saying that, alright Mars is debilitated but Moon is with Mars which creates NBRY and it will completely resolve all the issues of Mars debilitation, is a wrong approach.

Nothing gets completely cancelled in Astrology. Everything will just get add up. Also, most of these yogas only help in professional life but not in relations. So, if a person has Mars-Moon conjunction in Cancer then professionally he may get recognition but in personal life, he may still have issues related with anger and emotions. His relations with brothers may not be good.

So, when there is a yoga happening, we need to be more careful as to see which areas of life it will help and which areas need to work on. We should certainly not jump to conclusion.
