This yoga occurs when the lord of the 10th house (house of career and action) is placed in the 6th, 8th, or 12th houses (the so-called Dusthanas, or unfavourable houses).

The yoga becomes especially malefic if the 10th lord is placed in the 8th house, which is considered the most difficult of the three Dusthanas.

This yoga forms when the Moon is located in the 6th, 8th, or 12th house from Jupiter.
