Adhi Yoga - Adhi Yoga in a Kundli

Various scriptures dedicated to vedic astrology have described the significance of Adhi Yoga in a kundali. This yoga  is divided into two parts: Papadhi yoga and Shubhadhi yoga.

Adhi Yoga is formed when Mercury, Venus and Jupiter are in the sixth, seventh and eighth house from the moon. On the other hand, Lagnadhi yoga is also formed when the moon is replaced with ascendant in the same condition, i.e when Mercury, Venus and Jupiter are in the sixth, seventh and eighth house from the ascendant.

Other than this, this yoga is also formed when all the three planets Mercury, Venus and Jupiter are in the sixth,  eighth house or seventh house of the kundali, or situated in any one of planet is situated in one house and other two in the different house. Basically, presence of all the three above given planets is important for the formation of Adhi Yoga. Moreover, these planets should not be conjunct or aspected by any malefic planet for the formation.

According to Brihatparashara Hora Shastra

Shatsaptashtage Saumyalegnachachandrach Sansthite ।

Pap Drigyogdineshcha Sukhe Shudhedhiyogvan।।

If Mercury, Venus and Jupiter are placed in the eighth, seventh or sixth house from the moon and are not aspected by malefic then Chandradhi yoga is formed. Similarly, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter are placed in the eighth, seventh or sixth house from the ascendant marks the formation of Lagnadhi Yoga. The 4th house from the ascendant should not have any malefic planet, else this yoga gets destroyed.
