Nabhasa yoga
Placement of planets in Hindu astrology
Nābhāsa yoga (Sanskrit: नाभास) refers to the different arrangements of all seven of the planets in the celestial realm in Hindu astrology.
The Sanskrit word nābhāsa can be variously translated as "celestial," "heavenly" or "appearing in the sky."
Overview
The names of the Nābhāsa yogas depend on the shape formed by the seven planets (the two Lunar-nodes which are invisible mathematical points are not connected with this scheme). The Nābhāsa yogas are planetary configurations which give an overall view of a person's life; they indicate the pattern of life, inclinations, strong points and weaknesses, and are not dependent upon planetary lordships, conjunctions and aspects etc. Their results are felt throughout one's lifetime irrespective of the dashas in operation.
Basic constitution
Nābhāsa yogas are of four kinds, they are known as 1) the Akrati (Sanskrit: आकृति) (diagrammatical i.e. in definite geometric patterns) yogas, 2) the Sankhya (Sanskrit: संख्या) (numerical i.e. based on number of rasis and not bhavas occupied by seven planets) yogas, 3) the Asraya (Sanskrit: आश्रय) (positional i.e. based on the basic nature of signs occupied by planets) yogas and 4) the Dala (Sanskrit: दल) (bilateral i.e. based on the nature of bhavas occupied by planets other than the Moon) yogas. If Asraya and Sankhya yogas co-exist the former will prevail, and in the case of Dala yogas the Moon is not taken into consideration.

Why this record matters
“Nabhasa yoga” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Nabhasa, yoga and Placement provides the most credible route into that argument.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 25, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q17011857. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
