The Moon is the mind, and the signs on either side of it support it. Planets there steady the mind and bring resources.
Sunapha (a planet in the 2nd from the Moon) is linked with self-made wealth, intelligence and a good name. Anapha (in the 12th) with good health, manners and comfort. Durudhara (both) combines them: wealth, vehicles and generosity. The planets involved colour the result: Jupiter gives wisdom, Venus comforts, Mars courage, Mercury skill, Saturn endurance.
When no planet is on either side, the result is Kemadruma yoga.
Does your chart have it?
The free kundli finds this yoga and the others on this list in your chart and says which planets form it.
Sources: Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra (Pancha Mahapurusha, raja, dhana, Sunapha, Anapha, Durudhara and Kemadruma yogas) and Phaladeepika (Gajakesari, Adhi, Amala, neecha bhanga and the viparita yogas). The results are summarised in our own words. A yoga gives its result in proportion to the strength of the planets forming it, and mainly in their dashas.
