Daridra Yoga Calculator
Daridra Yoga looks at the same two houses as Dhana Yoga — the **2nd** (accumulated wealth) and **11th** (income and gains) — but from the opposite angle: affliction rather than connection. It forms when the lord of either house is placed in a **dusthana** (6th, 8th, or 12th) or is **debilitated**. This calculator checks both wealth-house lords against those two classical affliction conditions.

What Is Daridra Yoga?
Where Dhana Yoga reads a healthy link between the 2nd and 11th house lords as a sign of financial capacity, Daridra Yoga reads the opposite condition: one of those same two lords weakened by placement in a difficult house or by debilitation. Classical texts treat this not as a fixed sentence of poverty but as a tendency toward financial strain, delay, or difficulty holding onto accumulated resources.
The Two Conditions Checked
This calculator checks two distinct classical afflictions for each wealth-house lord: placement in a dusthana house (6th, 8th, or 12th — the houses of conflict, crisis, and loss), or debilitation in its weakest sign. Either condition on either lord (2nd or 11th) is sufficient to flag the yoga; a lord placed in the 8th house specifically is read as the strongest form of this affliction.
Why This Isn't a Fixed Outcome
Like every classical yoga, Daridra Yoga's real weight depends on the rest of the chart — a benefic aspect on the afflicted lord, a strong dasha period for the other wealth-house lord, or a well-placed dispositor can all meaningfully offset it. This calculator reports the presence of the core geometric condition; a full financial reading considers this alongside Dhana Yoga and the dashas actively running.
