PARIVARTAN (PARIVARTHAMSHA) YOGA – EXCHANGE OF SIGNS BETWEEN TWO PLANETS
A parivartana yoga occurs when planet A is in the sign of planet B, and planet B is in the sign of planet A.
For example, if Mars is in Taurus and Venus is in Aries, Mars is in the sign of Venus and Venus is in the sign if Mars. In Western (horary) astrology, this position is called ‘in reception’. If this position occurs in your own horoscope, it is indicated by a small wave (˜, in mutual reception with another planet). Although the computer programme that we use for our printouts regards this as a beneficial condition code, that is not always the case. We can ascertain that the influence both planets have on each other is similar to that of a conjunction. If this is beneficial or not depends of the character of both planets and especially the houses they rule.
Kshetra SambandhaThis planetary relation brings forth when two planets mutually occupy each other’s sign. Almost all sources have ranked this sambandha most effective and most powerful (60 virupa or 100%). Kshetra sambandha (also called parivartana) is somewhat a rare planetary relationship and does neither depend upon longitudinal distance nor closeness. Planets involve in kshetra sambandha exchange their full effects which surely accrue in their mutual dasha/antar. In western astrology, this cosmic connection is known as ‘reception’.Examples: Moon is into Pisces and Jupiter into Cancer; Sun is into Virgo and Mercury is into Leo; Mars into Libra and Venus into Aries etc.
There are three kinds of parivartana yogas.
Dainya yoga: This yoga occurs when one of the planets participating in the yoga is lord of the sixth, eighth or twelfth house. These are dushtana houses that generally have an unfavourable influence.
In most cases, the lord of the sixth, eighth or twelfth house will be strengthened by the benefic influence of the other planet.
However, the other planet involved in this yoga is always damaged.
Example: When Sagittarius is on the ascendant, the Moon is lord of the eighth house and the Sun is lord of the ninth house. Should the Moon be in Leo and the Sun in Cancer, then we have a dainya parivartana yoga. In this case, the Sun will be damaged because it has to battle with the difficult energy of the eighth house. The Moon however, will get a boost from the influence of the favourable ninth house energy.
A possible interpretation for the lord of the eighth house when it is favourably influenced: Perhaps the person involved here will receive an inheritance (eighth
house) from his father (ninth house), or he may be a teacher (ninth house) of psychology (eighth house).
A possible interpretation for the lord of the ninth house when it is unfavourably influenced: Probably this person’s father (ninth house) has had a problematical life because the lord of the ninth house has been affected by the influence of the lord of the eighth house, which has to do with all kinds of problems. In addition, it is possible that his good fortune (lord of the ninth house) will be tainted (influence of the lord of the eighth house).
Kahala yoga: This occurs when one of the planets of this yoga is lord of the third house. The other planet may not be lord of the sixth, eighth or twelfth house (because we then have a dainya yoga). The third house is the house of energy and strength. A kahala yoga would mean that the person involved would invest a lot of energy and vigour in improving his circumstances.
Example: If Taurus is on the ascendant, the Moon is lord of the third house and Saturn lord of the ninth and tenth houses. Supposing the Moon is in Capricorn and Saturn in Cancer. Then we have a kahala yoga. This person will put a lot of energy (third house) into his career (tenth house) and into broadening his horizons (ninth house).
Maha yoga: When a parivartana yoga occurs between the lords of the first, second, fourth, fifth, seventh, ninth, tenth or eleventh houses, we have a maha yoga. The lords of the third, sixth, eighth or twelfth houses may not be involved, because then we would have either a dainya yoga or a kahala yoga. This yoga enriches the planets involved.
Shloka 11-12.Lordships of Kendra
and Kona.
[BPL: pari-varta-amsha]
If there be an exchange between a Lord
of a Kendra and a Lord of a Kona,
or, if a Lord of a Kendra is yuti with a Lord
of a Kona in a Kendra, or in a Kona,
or, if a Lord of a Kona is in a Kendra, or
vice versa,
or, if there happens to be a full Drishti
between a Lord of a Kendra and a Lord
of a Kona, [BPL: Mutual Reception]
they cause a Yoga .
One born in such a Yoga will become a
king and be famous.
Parivartamsha yoga increases the power of
the two bhava involved.It will also increase
the power of the two
graha involved.Increasing the power of
these two bhava and these two graha may
be helpful for the success of the nativity. If
the bhava or the graha are inauspicious,
the parivartamsha yoga may increase the
negativity of results.If the graha involved
are natural or temporal benefics; expect
increase of ease and comfort in matters for
which these graha are “karaka” or action-
agents. For temporal benefics, effects of
the exchanged two bhava are also smooth
and relaxed.
If the exchanged graha are are natural or
temporal malefics; results may be
emphatically more difficult than the graha
might separately produce.
When Malefic graha =
Benefic bhava-pati
If one or both of the graha are natural
malefics that rule benefic
houses(e.g., Yogakaraka Shani for
Vrishabha or Thula lagna ) then results will
be much increased in the style of that
lagna.
E.g., Shani is Yogakaraka for Thula lagna ,
but this fact does not make Shani an “easy
results” graha! Thula natives have such a
favorable prognosis for both cultural
education (4) and individual intelligence (5)
because Shani provides the lifetime
discipline to shape, polish, and perfect
the process.
When Shani enters into a parivartamsha
with another graha, Shani will add the
empowerments of the exchange rashi to
His birth-rashi empowerments. This means
that He will become a “double-Shani” –
doubly slow, doubly delay-causing, doubly
persistent, and doubly-hard-working.
Results of His efforts may be excellent, but
the results are likely to take even longer,
and require even more discipline, than if
Shani did not enjoy the parivartan!
Results depend entirely on the
characteristics of the Graha which are
exchanging their rashi.
Three varieties of
parivartamsha yoga:
good, bad, and
great.Dainya
Parivartamsha Yoga
If one of the Graha in the parivartamsha
yoga rules a dushthamsha (bhava 6, 8, or
12),
then the other graha will be damaged.
According to K.S. Charak (p 637) :
“This combination leads to a wicked nature,
persistent trouble from opponents, and ill
health.”
However, the dushthamsha lord will be
strengthened by its interaction with the
other non-dushthamsha partner.
Kahala Parivartamsha
Yoga
If one of the exchange partners= lord of
bhava-3, kahala yoga applies.
Note: The non-L-3 partner cannot be also a
dusthamsha lord. (If the non-L-3 partner
would be a dusthamsha lord, the yoga
would be Dainya, above.)
The non-L-3 partner = lord of 1, 2, 4, 5, 7,
9, 10, or 11.
The L-3 partner infuses the parivartamsha
with courage, competitiveness,
communications enthusiasm, and all of the
powers of L-3.
This yoga is considered beneficial with
some limits.
The limits on benefits is that L-3 gives
mentalization, which can be superficial and
repetitive as well as distracting from
wisdom.
Kahala yoga will energize the talking,
scheming, competing mind to go out and
get stuff done.
Maha Parivartamsha
Yoga
When the lords of 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, or 11
get exchange of signs, Maha Yoga
results.K.S. Charak (p 630) says,
“This combination promises wealth, status,
and physical enjoyments, plus beneficial
influences from the houses involved.”
An important
difference:Parivartams
ha vs. Mutual-Aspect.
The Yoga of Pari-varta-amsha (“re-versal
of amounts”) strengthens both planets even
if they are both malefics – possibly
increasing their evil capacity, but always
dignifying both.Mutual Aspectby contrast
does not normally dignify the two planets.
Any two planets in opposition, 180 degrees
apart, will provide mutual aspect to each
other. If those two planets are friendly, the
mutual aspect is a good thing, but then they
will need to both rule favorable houses and
occupy good signs in order to really help
each other.
The mutual aspect of Saturn and Mars
which can occur when those two Graha
occupy at 180 deg or 90/270 deg (4/10)
angle to each other, is nearly always a
disaster, causing intensely repressed anger
which consumes most of the person’s life
force, eventually blocking the very
accomplishments this person works so hard
for.
A Parivartamsha yoga of Shani and Kuja,
no matter how much it might repress the
animal vitality,
will give full discipline from Shani
and full productivity from Mangala.
the native will definitely accomplish
something in life despite a personal
propensity to take the longer, harder
road toward nearly every goal.
B. V. Raman: A Catechism
of Astrology, 4th Ed., p. 28.
“Qu. 34:When Saturn falls in Mars’ Sapta
Vargas, and Mars in Saturn’s Sapta
Vargas, do they become strong?”
“Ans:
You cannot lay down any hard and fast
rules in judging the strength or otherwise of
planets when there is an exchange of
vargas between two natural malefics.
If it is a case of Parivarthana
Yoga(interchange of places), this
considerably strengthens it.
In cases other than a parivarthana, due
weight must be given to their lordship and
similar factors.
When Mars is a Yogakaraka and Saturn
happens to be in Mars’ vargas, then Saturn
is automatically rendered strong.
As to whether such strength expresses
itself in good or bad respects depends on
the horoscopic disposition of Saturn,
though by virtue of Saturn’s inherent
malefic nature, a measure of evil is bound
to predominate.”
Q: During my current mahadasha,
Budha occupies 12th from the
mahadasha-pati Mangala,and it
looks as if a pattern of retreat
(12th) from the main business of
the mahadasha (Kuja yogakaraka
4-9 and I am in the education
industry) will cause a loss of
energy for professional
A:In my experience, the bhukti of a graha
which is engaged in parivartamsha yoga
with another graha gives two different but
simultaneous sets of results.The first set of
results = what we would expect normally:
the outcome predicted by the distance of
the graha from the mahadasha pati (in this
case, Budha 12th from Guru)
the social-material effects of 2 bhava from
development.Even though Budha
normally produces an upswing in
my mental activities, it looks as if
that mentalistic period of Budha
will produce mainly interior thought
and not too much result on the
professionally visible level.But
Budha enjoys (as you say) a
parivartamsha with Guru, and
Guru occupies the 10th from
Mangala. That means “virtual”
Budha should display some effects
in that place, the 10th from
Mangala.That means (I think) the
obscurity and interiority of the
Mangala-Budha 2-12 angle that
normally would reduce the visibility
of Budha won’t be serious or
maybe won’t even happen due to
the parivartamsha with Budha.
Am I thinking correctly here? Can
the “virtual” position acquired
through parivartamsha cause
Budha who is normally in a poor
placement 12th from the
radical lagna as well as the psycho-
emotional effects of 2 bhava from Chandra
lagna.
Then, to complicate matters, there is
usually a second set of results measured
from the ‘virtual’ position acquired via the
parivartamsha.
The second set of results may strongly
evoke the 2 bhava ruled by the
parivartamsha partner.
For example,
USA President GW Bush-43 (“junior”)
enjoys a parivartamsha of Budha-Karkata
in lagna + Chandra-Kanya in bhava-3.
When Bush entered the Budha-
Budha swabhukti about 2/3 of the way
through his 8-year term, he should have
suffered obscurity caused by dissolution-of-
identity L-12 Budha and overload of petty
administrative tasks like meetings and
schedules due to Budha’s L-3 function.
But that didn’t happen. He attended fewer
mahadashapati to obtain a 10th
effect?
meetings than ever, and accomplished just
as much == by delegating most of his
decisions to his VP Cheney. His approval
ratings did drop but he didn’t disappear
from view at all.
The lagnesha Chandra in parivartamsha
with Budha kept Bush’s presence very
strong. He continued to look fit and
capable, bumbling no worse and no better
than before. Observers had the sense that
it was the same old George (lagnesha) not
impaired in any way, and he wasn’t looking
as exhausted even as presidents typically
look during their final years in office.
Even with transiting Ketu moving over his
Karkata lagna during the final 8 months of
his term, the virtual Chandra-Karkata kept
him looking vital (lagnesha) not burned out
with mental tasks like we might expect from
an inauspicious Budha period for the
predominantly emotional Karkata lagna.
Clearly a parivartamsha yoga can mitigate
some of the worst effects of a difficult bhukti
. However a parivartamsha is probably not
a strong enough mitigant to reverse an
entire unfortunate mahadasha.
As soon as the subsequent Ketu period
started, the protective effect of Chandra-
Budha parivartamsha dissolved, and he left
office in a state of surrender, with the worst
approval ratings of any president in US
history. He didn’t re-emerge into public life
for years after that.

Practical advice for
reading a nativity with
parivartamsha yoga
If one of the exchange graha = Lord of
Lagna, the lagnesha function is much
emphasized (for good or ill.) [Indira
Gandhi ]It may be helpful to construct two
different nativities in order to visualize the
full effects of a parivartamsha nativity.

and disciplined personality.
Yet in its original condition, before
examination of the parivartamsha
But there is much more to her story!
Indira Gandhi was am extremely unusual
woman. One of the fascinating features of
her life was her surprising popularity with
empowerment,
the nativity appears rather fixated
on work, attractive but not gifted,
and perhaps — with dark and
tantric L-8 Shani in lagna – even
hostile to social life. Guru

She had a strange charisma which was
absolutely unprecedented in her cultural
era, when women had extremely limited
permission to be involved in activities
outside the home – let alone leading a huge
nation through several cycles of political
and economic crisis!
Note that the TRIPLE parivartamsha effects
place the lords of 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
and 11 all in swakshetra.
The multiplicity of Parashari drishti caused
by the triple parivartamsha is mind-
boggling.

triple parivartamshanativities are
rather complex and require much
reflection to sort out the two sets
of effects. It may be helpful to
construct a second nativity which
visually shows the exchanged
graha in their “virtual”
places.Creating a parivartamsha
visual map will reveal asecond
narrativewhich underlies the
primary ego social narrative and
may provide clues to otherwise
mysterious events or behaviors of
the native .

multi-millionaire male, whose life is
(by self-report) wracked by
suffering due to animosity of the
spouse, anger in marriage, and a
financially catastrophic divorce
followed by self-inflicted financial
losses. He claims no responsibility
in the violence of his marriage,
and yet his spouse calls him angry
and abusive. Who is right?It is
easy to see the commercial
acumen of uchcha Mangala in
bhava-3, the house of meetings,
calendars, reports, and business
administration. It is easy to see the
complex, passion-driven work-
identity (and potential for mental
illness) of Shani + Rahu in lagna.
However, the it may not be easy to see
the Rahu-amplified Kuja Dosha,
disruption of home life, or severe
depression without creating a new map
representing the exchanged positions.In the
special parivartamsha chart, the virulent
Rahu-magnified L-6 Mangala is revealed to
give extreme Kuja Dosha upon yuvati
bhava. Clearly the native is responsible for
his share of the reported marital
violence.Shukra + Kuja gives the marital
dilemma of never connecting satisfactorily
with the spouse, and being unable to
validate the spouse’s material beauty or
attractiveness due to the distancing
behaviors of Ketu mixing with Shukra,
karaka for wife.
This dilemma is not part of the exchange
but the dilemma is much negatively impact
by the malefic exchange,since the effect of
parivartamsha is to cast an evil Rahu-
enflamed vindictive Vrischika Kuja drishti
upon the marriage house. Results of this
aggression will clearly harm the wife.
Parivartamsha Kuja drishti also harms
bhava-4, the home life, although not
enflamed by Rahu, it is nevertheless a sign
of fighting in the childhood home, which the
native is likely to carry forward into
adulthood. Finally Kuja’s 8th drishti to
bhava-8 suggests a violent death, quite
likely through aggression.
Shani cast drishti into bhava-3 the bhava of
mental health, from the original Kundali, but
a Shani drishti is not enough to overwhelm
the positive dynamism of a captain-of-
industry graha such as the birth-placed
uchcha Kuja. However in the parivartamsha
view, it is clear that Shani occupies the
mental-health house with skeptical and
depressive strength, a case of excess
realism or worst-case thinking general with
Shani/Makara/3.
As this couple explained their narrative,
delay in having children emerged as a
major stress point. The male claimed that
this delay was imposed entirely by the
female. Is that true?
Parivartamsha exposes Shani drishti to
putra bhava, an indicator of delay for
“practical reasons” (Shani) and often a
depressed negativity (Shani) about
children, emitting from virtual Shani in
bhava-3.
The third and tenth drishti of parivartamsha
Shani is strong. Shani’s virtual seventh
drishti to bhava-9 would indicate trouble
with the native ‘s father. While the native
praised his father as a successful academic
and virtuous parent, his contentious wife
claimed that the native ‘s father was angry,
depressed, and short-lived. Again it is not
either-or, but both layers are true. The
original chart shows uchcha Guru in bhava-
9, surely the mark of a gifted professor. Yet
the professor’s personal life may well have
been depressed and public record shows
he was short-lived.
Finally a block-and-delay Shani drishti to
bhava-12: the native cannot remember his
dreams. In the original Kundali, swakshetra
L-12 Shukra should give luscious and
sensual dreams albeit Ketu can devalue the
guidance from spirit guides. (An ironic
consequence of spiritual Ketu who
devalues everything, associated with L-12
so Ketu promptly devalues one’s dreams!).
But the block against dream learning is very
deep, the native has not remembered
dreams for 60 years, and this is surely
Shani.
Shani/3 is nearly always a karaka for
mental depression. the native enjoyed a
very successful business life and built an
enormous fortune, but he was never happy
with his life. The L-6 which is already super-
strong by uchcha status, as Kuja owns and
aspects Ripu bhava, gains even additional
malefic strength in the exchanged position:
in lagna, swakshetra, with Rahu.
There is tremendous animosity in his life,
borderline criminal activity (highly activated
L-6), and the spectacular wealth from a
Laxmi yoga (swakshetra Shukra in 11th-
from uchcha Guru-9) . Sadly the wealth
was destroyed in mid-life by consequences
of extreme angry aggression toward the
wife. Mangala super-strengthened in
bhava-1, a house of dissolution of stored
wealth, 12th-from-dhana bhava.
For wealth purposes, it may be said that
the Amplified parivartamsha Kuja increases
wealth in its role as L-1 casting identity-
forming drishti with the major wealth karaka
(swakshetra Kuja) and the uchcha wealth-
expander Guru in bhava-9. the native
projects the lion’s share of his social
identity into having millionaire status and
lavishly entertaining his friends, especially
women.
Although the male native claims he is a
victim of spousal aggression is appears that
indeed the opposite is true. Thenatal
Shani+ Rahu is a karaka for mental
disturbance and a feeling of deep betrayal.
However despite the ego conviction he
holds that he is such a sober and hard-
working man that he could not be the
perpetrator of violence in marriage,
parivartamsha shows that he is very much
the agent of his own demise.

For attending to the predictive side of Hindu Traditional Sacred Science of
Astrology, it is quite essential as a first step to properly determine the correct
strength of a birth chart. For such a determination, besides so many other useful
factors and principles, it is also quite necessary to see whether any meaningful
yogas have been formed in the birth chart by way of Parivartanas,. i.e. when two
planets having lordship over two houses have mutually interchanged places, i.e.
have occupied each-other’s houses.
Such interchanging of houses or Parivartanas are termed as yogas or useful
combinations and are quite handy in determining the primary strength of a birth
chart, in addition to other factors, such Parivartanasbeginning with Ascendant lord
and ending with lord of the twelfth house, so caused as stated above, totaling sixty
six in all, by permutation and combination, can be good, very good; bad or very bad
depending upon the lordship over particular houses the planets hold and the houses
where they (lords) are deposited.
Mutual reception means just that, a reciprocal exchange between two planetary
archetypes. The outcome of that exchange, which is not always the same, is
determined by three things. First, one must consider how empowered each
archetype is in the dominion of the other. Next, the angular relationship of the two
respective signs must be taken into account. Finally, it is important to look at what
both of the mutually receptive planets are doing on their own and whether there is
any resonance between their independent activities.
A. Phaladeepika: According to sixteenth century Granthkar Mantreswara, classical
author of Phaladeepika, the celebrated author has classified such Parivartanas in
these groups of houses and their exchange of lords as grouped below:
(a) Maha Yogas: The author has flatly considered first, second fourth, fifth, seventh,
ninth, tenth and eleventh as good houses without due consideration for Kendras and
Konas. Any exchange of lords between these houses, the author considers as Maha
Yogas, which total up twenty eight in number. The result ascribed to such yogas as
per Phaladeepika are: The person born with Mahayoga present in his birth chart will
be the storehouse of blessings of the goddess and will be wealthy lord. He will wear
clothes of variegated color and bedeck himself with gold ornaments. He will receive
rich presents from his sovereign certain powers will be conferred upon him. He will
command vehicles, wealth and children.
(b) Khala Yogas: Second set of yogas which are formed due to parivartanas of lords
of houses, which the author has considered are only eight in number. When lord of
third house occupies one of the remaining good houses i.e. first, second, fourth, fifth,
seventh, ninth, tenth or eleventh and by turn the lord of any such good house
occupies third house, the condemned Khala Yoga crops up. The author has
suggested that any native in whose birth chart Khala Yoga is present will be
occasionally haughty and at certain times gentle in his speech. Such a native will
occasionally regain all kinds of prosperity while at other times, he will have to endure
much distress, poverty, misery and like that.
(c) Dainya Yogas: The third set of Parivartana Yogas which the Phaladeepika author
has presented are thirty in number and are formed due to exchange of houses
between any dusthana lord (i.e. lord of six, eight or twelfth) and lords of other houses
as shown below:
(i) 12th lord occupying any one of the other eleven houses and any lord this latter
houses occupying 12th = 11 Nos.
(ii) The lord of 6th occupying any one of the remaining 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11
houses and any lord of these latter houses occupying 6th=10 Nos.
(iii) The lord of 8th occupying any one of the remaining 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10 and 11
houses and any lord of these latter houses occupying 8th=9 Nos. The results for
above mentioned thirty Dainya Yogas have been stated as:
The native in whose birth chart Dainya Yoga is present, will be a fool and will be
abusing and insulting others and commit sinful acts. Such a person will always be
subjected to confrontation by his enemies. He will speak woundingly and will be
unsteady in his mind. His all undertakings will be hindered.
B. Uttarakalamrita: The celebrated classical writer Kalidasa of Uttarakalamrita fame
completely differs from Mantreswara and gives some of his own valuable
suggestions on exchange of houses which are really worth considering and bringing
in practice. His suggestions are as below:
(a) When 9th and 10th lords interchange their place (provided they are not the
owners of 8th and 11th houses as well) they create a Raj Yoga and bring wealth and
happiness to the concerned native.
(b) Following three pairs of lords which are very important are to be carefully noted
and properly examined in a birth chart. They are:
(i) Lords of 9th and 10th houses from Ascendant.
(ii) Lords of 9th and 10th houses counted from 9th house of birth chart (This means
the author favours exchange of 5th and 6th lords also).
(iii) Lords of 9th and 10th houses reckoned from 10th house of birth chart (which
means the author allows parivartana of 6th and 7th house to be good).
Note: According to above the author has condemned 11th lordship [vide—(a)] for
joint ownership and condemned the lordship of 6th (vide b-ii and iii).
(iv) Following four sets have been considered viz. Lords of Rasi and Amsa occupied
by a planet and Ascendant lord (b) Lords of 10th and 9th (c) Lords of 5, 3, 4 and 7
(d) Lords of 2 and 11: When they occupy each other’s house they bestow on the
native the following blessings viz. (a) prosperity, (b) elephants, horses or like that, (c)
happiness and children, (d) wealth.
(v) If any one of the following three interchanges of houses take place in a birth
chart, thus constituted parivartana yoga do come in existence,viz. (a) 8th lord
occupying 12th or 6th (b) 6th lord occupying 8th or 12th, (c) 12th lord placed in 8th or
6th. Here vide (a) to (c) as above the concerned planets should at the same time be
free from such relation with other planets.
Above mentioned yogas of parivartana when found to be present in any birth chart,
bestow on the concerned native a great kingship, fame, name and wealth.
C. Jataka Yogavali: Venkatesa Sharma who in his later life became known as
celebrated Venkatesa Daivagnya and wrote a very valuable and authentic
grantha Sarvartha Chintamani, some 375 years ago, has written a classical
work Jataka Yogavali and has given us some Privartana Yogas due to the exchange
of certain houses. The Parivartana Yogas though they are very few, but clearly hint
how cautious we should be to look other favourable conditions also for materializing
the yoga phala.
(a) Chapa (bow) Yoga: Exchange of signs between lords of 2nd and 10th house
whilst the Ascendant lord is exalted, will result—Professionally the status of the
native is comparable to a king. He is treasurer or a commander.
(b) Siva Yoga: Lord of 5th placed in 9th, 9th lord placed in 10th, whereas 10th lord
placed in 5th house. Effects of this yoga are: the native engages himself in high
undertakings, gets lordship over vast areas, wins battles, professionally positions
himself as a commander, controls over his senses and has vast knowledge.
(c) Kaar Mukha Yoga: Exchange of signs between lords of Ascendant and 10th,
whilst amsa lords of 10th and Ascendant falling in one and the same sign and there
is Jupiter’s aspect on either 1st or 10th lords.
Effects: The native would be leader amongst learned people, highly courageous,
very intelligent, charitable, enjoying life in high walks and very important personality
in the community. The yoga phala materializes after 9 years of age.
(d) Indra Yoga: Whilst there is exchange of signs between lords of 5th and 11th
houses, the Moon should stand in 5th house. Effects: The native will have reputation
for a very long period. He will be highly courageous having status like a king. He will
enjoy life in high walks and will be liked by king.
(e) Amaraka Yoga: Exchange of houses between lords of 7th and 9th provided both
the lords are quite strong. Effects: The native will possess long hands, lotus like
eyes. He will be well-versed in law, having a magisterial post, praised by public,
interested in pilgrimages, has happiness from wife and will be enjoying greater
happiness after age of 50 years.
(f) Srimanthi (wealth) Yoga: If there is exchange of houses between lords of 9th and
10th provided Ascendant lord is with one of the above lords duly aspected by Jupiter.
Effects: The native will be having highly charitable nature and all kinds of prosperity.
He will be highly respected and be learned. He will have full span of life.
D. Some other Granthakaras: Here are some Parivartana Yogas suggested by some
other writers, culled out from various classical text books:
(a) Exchange between 1st and 2nd lords suggests that the native will be getting
wealth and his earnings by personal efforts and will be supporting many people.
(b) Exchange between 1st and 3rd lords (involving a common sign) indicates that
native’s some brother is one of twin.
(c) Exchange of 1st and 4th houses will result in native enjoying his own
conveyance, children and prosperity. This is Bhagya Vahana Yoga.
(d) Exchange between 1st and 5th lords will cause sure birth of children and
happiness.
(e) Exchange between 1st and 7th lords indicates intense love between the native
and his wife/husband and very early marriage.
(f) Exchange of 1st lord with 10th lord is highly praised. The native becomes reputed,
victorious and a king or his equal.
(g) Exchange of houses between 1st and 11th lord will cause much wealth to the
native by about 33rd year of his life, while if the saidParivartana is prevalent and
Venus is placed in house 5/9, the naïve will be highly reputed and respected by
kings.
(h) Exchange between houses 1st and 12th with conjunction or aspect of 8th lord will
cause much poverty. Whereas in the same Parivartana if Venus is found in 12th
house, there will be heavy expenses on charitable works. In the said yoga, if malefic
is placed in Ascendant, the native will pass sickly life. In the same yoga if there is
aspect by or conjunction of 7th lord, it is Daridra Yoga (severe type of poverty).
(i) Exchange between Ascendant lord and his enemy, provided Ascendant lord is in
conjunction with or under aspect of maraka lord, the yoga will cause poverty to the
native. Simple exchange also gives poverty as suggested by Maharishi Parasar.
(j) Exchange between 2nd and 11th lords will cause good wealth and cattle. Signs
thus exchanged should be friendly or in exaltation to above lords. Other opinion
without any condition is that financial prosperity after early marriage will result.
(k) Exchange between 2nd and 12th lords is bad and will cause loss of wealth and
heavy expenses (in bad or good directions depending upon the nature of planets
involved) provided 11th lord is in any dusthana. In an ordinary birth chart this
exchange suggests that the native will suffer from poverty.
(l) Exchange of 2nd and 9th lords will cause the to enjoy reputation, high class
prosperity and kingly paraphernalia after 32nd year of life.
(m) Exchange between 2nd and 6th lords will cause financial losses on large scale.
(n) Exchange between 2nd and 5th houses indicates earning of much wealth by the
native (this is a dhana yoga). Note: Some classical writers of the opinion that in the
above parivartana, if Sun and Mars get involved, the native is bestowed with
influential sons and keen perception of public good. In this exchange if Sun is related
to 2nd lord the native becomes capable of public good. He gets wealth and
education.
(o) Exchange between 3rd and 11th lords may cause financial gains through
brothers. His brothers will also prosper.
(p) Exchange between 3rd and 9th houses (provided Mars is in the 3rd house)
indicates gain of wealth from distant relatives.
(q) Exchange of houses between 4th and 5th, 4th and 9th, 4th and 10th, 4th and
11th houses respectively (all Bhagya Vahana Yogas) will result in happiness, birth of
children, conveyance and prosperity.
(r) Exchange of 4th and 10th lords will result in having many houses and landed
property depending on the strength of Mars.
(s) Exchange of 5th and 8th lords if takes without benefic aspect, causes loss of
children.
(t) Exchange of 5th lord and Jupiter is good for issues. A son will be born during
major period of 5th lord and sub-period of Jupiter.
(u) Exchange between 6th and 12th lord indicates that the native will be incurring
heavy debts, besides loss of honour and losses in gambling. The native will also
suffer from rheumatic disorders, while in 3rd year of life there will be stomach
disorders. Stupidity on the part of native is hinted.
Specific Results
If two planets say A and B are in parivartana. Then in the dasa of planet A,
result of the B’s occupation (as lord of the house tenanted by A) shall obtain.
Vise versa holds true for dasa of planet B.
Explanation
Parivartana is the strongest relation between any two house lords. In panch-
sambhandh classification, the interchange of house lords is known as kshetra
sambandh and allotted full power of 60 virupas. If the concerned lords own good
houses, expected result will be auspicious, whereas in case of interchange between
good and bad (6, 8, 12) houses, evil result will manifest. Like rashi chakra (D1 chart),
parivartana may also form in any of vargas (divisional charts) but the exchange in
varga shall be limited to the significations of that divisional chart. There are some
schools of thought who hold that parivartana occurs when planets mutually
exchange lunar constellations (nakhatras) but noted classical works do not support
this thesis.
A Point to Note
Except Sun and Moon, rest of five planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and
Saturn) own two signs. When parivartana occurs between any two (good or bad)
signs, the involved planets do not yield result of their second sign. Take an example
of Leo ascendant where Mars is in Sagittarius (5 house) and Jupiter is in Aries (9th
house) then neither Mars will give the result of Scorpio (4th house) lordship, nor
Jupiter will yield result of Pisces (8th house) ownership. This exchange should only
analyse as interchange between 5th and 9th lords. Similarly if there is a parivartana
between Sun and Saturn for Gemini lagna then it will only going to yield kahala
parivartana yoga between lords of 3rd and 9th houses.
Example-1
Keeping other factors constant, suppose for a Cancer langa, there is a parivartana
between 8th lord Saturn and 9th lord Jupiter. That is, Jupiter is in Aquarius and
Saturn is in Pisces. According to Parivartana yoga classification, this is an evil
planetary signature (dainya yoga). Now the question is what type of result may
manifest in the dasas of Saturn and Jupiter.
The answer is both the dasas of Saturn and Jupiter shall yield inauspicious results.
The dasa of Saturn shall give result of its dispositor Jupiter. In other words, during
dasa of Saturn, one shall experience effect of 9th lord (Jupiter) in 8th house
(Aquarius) which is indeed bad. Similarly, the dasa of Jupiter shall yield result of
Saturn. That is, in the dasa of Jupiter, native shall accrue effects akin to 8th lord
(Saturn) in 9th house (Pisces). However, the mutual maha and antar dasas (Sat-Jup
and Jup-Sat) will surely give pronounced evil effects of this parivartana yoga
between 8th and 9th houses. Also note that Jupiter is unable to produce any good
result of Vipreet (6th lord in 8th) because of the bondage of 8th and 9th house
exchange.
Example-2
Here for Aquarius lagna, Venus and Jupiter are exchanging 4th and 2nd lordship.
This parivartana leads to maha yoga and surely benefit the native with dhan and
sukh when dasa/antardasa of Venus and Jupiter operates.
In the dasa of 4th lord Venus, one shall enjoy the result of 2nd lord Jupiter in 4th
house. Similarly in the dasa of 2nd lord Jupiter, one shall enjoy the result of 4th lord
Venus in 2nd house. But in mutual antardasas of Ven-Jup and Jup-Ven, native will
definitely earn amass of wealth, receive higher learning, command luxurious vehicle
and obtain pleasure of domestic comfort and sumptuous meal.
Example-3
Suppose Mars is in 5th house (Libra) and Venus is in 6th house (Scorpio) for the
following (hypothetical) Gemini ascendant.
Now in the dasa of Venus, one shall come across result identical to its dispositor i.e.
6th lord (Mars) is in 5th house (Libra). This may include differences and disputes
with lover or off spring, loss in speculation, sickness of children etc. Similarly in the
dasa of Mars, native shall face evil circumstances as if 5th lord (Venus) is in 6th
house (Scorpio). As a result native’s own children turn hostile to him, he may get
separation from them, fear of abortion, confrontation with officials etc.

Some possible examples of the kendra-trikona exchange might be:
USA Pres-3, Thomas Jefferson (L-5/10 neechcha-bhanga Kuja with L-1 neechcha
bhanga Chandra),
PM India, Indira Gandhi (exchange of L-1 with L-7/8 And exchange of L-4/11 with L-
6/9). = triple-parivartamsha! Involves lagnesha Chandra.
USSR-dictator supreme leader Josef Stalin - L-3/6 with Yogakaraka L-4/5
(apparently parivartamsha applies; however, BT is uncertain)
USA Sec State Hilary Clinton - exchange of Yogakaraka L-4+L-5 Shani with L-10
Chandra
USA Pres-1, George Washington (BT uncertain)
Other parivartamsha power-leaders:
Richard Nixon = Shukra + Shani
Fidel Castro = Budha + Chandra
Napoleon Bonaparte = Chandra + Shani
Vladimir Putin = Guru + Mangala
G. H. W. Bush-41 (“Sr.”) = Budha + Shukra
G.W. Bush-43 = Budha + Chandra
Examine the parivartamsha yoga from both perspectives. Start with the material
reading since that is simpler. Then consider the psycho-emotional perception.
This double-assessment method potentially involves relationships between as many
as eight separate houses. That is a lot to keep in mind at once!
But humans have complex perceptions, and a yoga which benefits a person
materially can harm one emotionally, or vice versa. Also remember that the
parivartamsha effects are likely to manifest mainly during the Vimshottari periods of
the exchanged graha.
For predicting the effect of a parivartamsha graha during its Vimshottari
Dasha period, consider
1. lordship of each graha from radix lagna
2. lordship of each graha from Chandra lagna (
3. lordship of each graha from the mahadasha pati.
