Shakata Yoga
By The Astrologic Desk · Editorial and calculation review
Shakata yoga forms when the Moon occupies the 6th, 8th or 12th house counted from Jupiter, while Jupiter is not in a kendra from the Lagna. Shakata means cart. It describes fortunes that rise and fall in cycles rather than progressing steadily.
