Sakti Yoga comes under Akriti Yogas of the Nabhasha Yogas mentioned in B. V. Raman's 300 Important Combinations. Nabasha Yogas are described in other old astrological texts like Brihat Jataka and Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra(BPHS).

     Sakti Yoga is a very simple yoga formed when seven planets including Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn occupy third quandrant. In simple words these seven planets should occupy:

1. Seventh House
2. Eight House
3. Ninth House
4. Tenth House

     As long as all seven planets are in third quandrant this yoga should ocurr.

• North Style
• South Style

 

     According to B. V. Raman having Sakti Yoga in horoscope makes one lazy, slow, devoid of riches and disliked by people. Obviously the results don't sound too encouraging. But perhaps the picture may not be that bad.

     Strong planets in seventh house could make one a good businessman. Strong planets in eight house could make one a great researcher. Strong planets in ninth house could make one fortunate, spiritual and an avid traveller. And finally a strong tenth house can give a successful career and everlasting fame.

     Having this yoga in horoscope should be extremely rare.

     B. V. Raman does not think too highly of Akriti Yogas of which Sakti Yoga is a part. He thinks they don't contribute much to the success of an individual. According to B. V. Ramam they give a better idea about means of livelihood a person will have.
