YG-97: Rahu-Ketu Raja
Rahu-Ketu raja yoga: Rahu or Ketu sits in an angle, with the ruler of house 5 or 9 joined or aspecting it. Or it sits in house 1, 5 or 9, with the ruler of house 4, 7 or 10 joined or aspecting it. The ruler of house 1 does not count. A rise that may come by an unusual path. Two other yogas that outside reports use are not checked. Karmajiva describes a line of work rather than forming. A Moon-navamsa raja yoga forms in about three charts in four.
