Saraswati Yoga is defined or introduced by the Astrological Classic Phaladeepika Composed by Sage Mantreswar. It is written that When Jupiter, Mercury, and Venus are located in a Kendra(Ascendant, 4th house, 7th house, 10th house) or Trikona(5th and 9th house) or in 2th House and Jupiter is securely placed in own house or in a friendly sign or in a exaltation sign Saraswati Yoga is formed in a Horoscope. So Mercury, Jupiter, and Venus these three natural benefic planets should be placed each in Lagna or in 2nd, 4th, 5th, 7th, 9th or 10th house from Ascendant and Jupiter must be strong either by exaltation or my own sign or by vargottama. Results of this Yoga is so wonderful that it is one of my personal favorite Planetary Union.

  The person with Saraswati Yoga in Kundli will be very Intelligent. He will be very qualified in composing prose, comedy, poetry and will be learned in Alankar Shastra and Mathematics. He will be skillful in poetry, in story composition and in the analysis of sacred texts’. His fame will spread all over the world. He will be greatly wealthy and will be blessed with wife and children. 

 Saraswati is the goddess of knowledge, education, the power of tongue, music and the arts and wisdom. So as the name intimates this Yoga is inclined towards Knowledge, Wisdom, Learning, Arts, and Music. In this Yoga Jupiter will give Knowledge, Mercury will give fast learning skill and artistic proficiency and Venus will give interest in arts and Music.

 The 1st, fourth, 7th and 10th house is known as Kendra house. These are like pillars of the Horoscope. They are also known as Vishnu. The 5th and 9th are known as Trikona and Laxmi Sthana. When all the natural Benefits Occupy either the Kendra or the Trikona house, it automatically improves the strength of the Horoscope to a great extent. Moreover, if you see carefully, 4th house is the house of education, 5th is the house of intelligence, 7th is also a secondary house of education and career, 9th is the house of wisdom and higher education, 10th is the house of occupation. So the emphasis is on Education, learning, and career. When the most helpful planets of the Zodiac will influence these houses completely, the person will get the blessing of goddess Saraswati and Laxmi both.

  Favorable Planetary Position for Saraswati Yoga

When Mercury, Jupiter, and Venus are in the Kendra, 2nd or trigone house from the ascendant, it forms the Saraswati yoga in the birth chart of the  Individual. The power of Jupiter in the Kundli is also an important factor leading to Saraswati Yoga. So, the three benefic planets - Mercury, Jupiter, and Venus, should be set each in Lagna or in the 2nd, 4th, 5th, 7th, 9th or 10th house from Ascendant. Jupiter must be obvious in its house or by exaltation.
 

How Saraswati Yoga is formed

 If in a birth chart the houses 2nd, 4th, 5th, 7th, 9th or 10th are singly or jointly occupied by the planets Jupiter, Venus and Mercury, and the planet Jupiter falls in its own, friendly or sign of exaltation then Saraswati Yoga is made.
 

Results of Saraswati Yoga

  If this yoga is being in a birth chart the native is a learned person most probably in arts or sciences or other fields and becomes wealthy. The native becomes well known due to his talents and knowledge. The native is blessed with a good spouse and children.

If the planets making this yoga are favorably effective due to their signs, lordships, constellations, conjunctions, and aspects, etc. then the Yoga formed is likely to bestow full results but if these are unfavorable or afflicted then full results of this yoga may not be realized.
