Pancha means five, and Mahapurush means a great person. Pancha Mahapurusha Yogas are formed by combinations which involve five particular planets; Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. Each combination brings specific gifts to someone who is born under its influence, be it wealth, intelligence, communication skills or a hardworking nature. Having a Mahapurusha Yoga in your chart shows a quality that you have that allows you to become a great person.
The 5 Pancha Yogas are:
- Bhadra Yoga: Mercury’s gift of Intelligence and Communication.
- Malavya Yoga: Venus’ gift of beauty and charm.
- Ruchak Yoga: Mars’ gift of courage.
- Hamsa Yoga: Jupiter’s gift of respect and philosophy.
- Sasha/Sasa Yoga: Saturn’s gift of discipline and justice.
