Hi there,
you have a Hamsa Yog, due to exalted Jup in 10th kendra, but the malavya panch-mahapurusha yog is being affected by the Sun's conjunctions with ven.

as far as gajakesari yog is concerned, it is mostly considered from the moon, as compared to lagna. you have a sakata yog due to jup-moon being 6-8 to each other and also, a kemadruma yog.

Mahapursha yogas are five in number and they represent the five Pandavas.
There may be multiple Mahapurusha yogas in a chart but only one functions.
for understanding this you have to understand the story of Draupadi and the boon she asked from Lord Shiva.
She asked a boon that she marry a person like Shiva, to which Shiva said it is not possible for a Human being to be like him so he blesed her that she marry five Mahapurushas who combined toghether will be like Shiva.
The Five elements and the five mahapurusha yogas have strong affinity.
So any chart having a mahapurush yoga is seen as a blessing of Shiva, and if there are multiple mahapurusha yogas then only the strongest is taken to be the Mahapurusha yoga.
and it is seen only from the janma lagna and not from any other lagna.

for now,

thanks vivek ji,
this is great, i've always wondered how the maha-purusha yogas function, and this really is some food for thought.
wht method do u use to determine the strongest planet in case of multiple mahapurusha yogas, shadbala? also, do u give special consideration like if the lagnesh is forming the yoga, etc.
looking forward for more of your expert insights.

Namaskaar Sahil ji,
The Mahapurusha yoga is a combination of the tatwa and the digbal of the planet.

The Tattwas
Akash = Guru
Jala = Sukra
Pritvi = Budha
Agni = Mangal
Vayu = Shani

The ayana or digbala,
Guru and Budha = 1st house
Sukra = 4th house
Shani = 7th house
Mangal = 10th house.

Iwill give you a link for a mp3 lecture on this by Guru shri Visti Larsen. Hear it , it is a feast for the ears.
