Shakata Yoga (The Wheel of Fortune)

Shakata Yoga forms when the Moon is placed in the 6th, 8th, or 12th house from Jupiter. It reflects a life of fluctuations—sudden reversals, unpredictable rises and falls, and cycles of fortune followed by hardship.

This yoga paints a picture of a chariot wheel turning through fate—one moment high, the next plunged into challenge. It often occurs in the lives of those who learn resilience through extremes, gaining depth and empathy by navigating both abundance and adversity.

Though it can signify instability in early life or career, the journey through such a yoga forges a soul of great inner richness, capable of reinventing itself and teaching others through lived experience.
