The house in which a Raja Yoga forms gains strength, along with indications of fame, recognition, talent, fortune, and more. For example, Albert Einstein’s chart contains six Raja Yogas – a truly rare and exceptional occurrence.

Raja Yoga is formed through a combination of lords of the Vishnu houses (1st, 4th, 7th, and 10th houses) and the Lakshmi houses (1st, 5th, and 9th houses) in the following ways:

A conjunction of the lords of Lakshmi and Vishnu houses in a single house; The simultaneous influence (aspect or placement) of the lords of Lakshmi and Vishnu houses on a single house; The placement of the 9th house lord in the 10th house, or vice versa.

In this horoscope, two Raja Yogas are formed in the 10th house:

Mercury, the lord of the Ascendant (a Vishnu house), is in conjunction with Venus, the lord of the 5th house (a Lakshmi house); Additionally, Mercury is also in conjunction with Saturn, the lord of the 9th house (another Lakshmi house).

In the 4th house, two Raja Yogas are present, formed by the influence of the Lords of Lakshmi and Vishnu houses coming from the 10th house.

Additionally, two more Raja Yogas are formed through:

Saturn, the lord of the 9th house, being positioned in the 10th house; and Jupiter, the lord of the 10th house, being placed in the 9th house.

A Viparita Raja Yoga is formed by the lords of the Dusthana houses (the 6th, 8th, and 12th houses). It arises when the lords of these Dusthanas are themselves placed in one of the Dusthanas or in the 3rd house.

This yoga neutralises the harmful effects of the Dusthanas and enables positive qualities to emerge from these challenging houses. It can bestow power, fame, and wealth—but often unexpectedly and for a short duration, usually following some form of hardship or misfortune.

In Einstein’s horoscope, a Viparita Raja Yoga is present: Mars, the lord of the 6th house (the house of enemies), is placed in the 8th house.
