Amala yoga is formed when natural benefics are in the 10th house from the lagna/Moon. It's said the benefics for this yoga are Jupiter, Venus and Mercury. Moon is not considered a benefic for this yoga.
Would like to know the logic behind not considering the Moon as a benefic for this yoga.

Dear Basab,

The general dictum in jyotish is that the waxing moon (cautious purists wait a few days after amavasya to begin giving the growing moon its brownie points!) and well-associated mercury are benefics. So, if mercury and saturn are placed in the same sign, that mercury may not be considered as a pure benefic. Likewise all debilitated planets have malefic properties.

Since moon is an orientation point in amala yoga, it may have been dropped out of being a benefic (when considering Lagna Amala) for conflict of interest!

But seriously, I would not take that too literally and include the moon benefic if it is waxing.

Now how to test or prove that? Well one will have to find several charts with amala yoga formed by 'benefic' waxing moon in 10th from lagna. Then one will have to rule out other benefic factors that may 'explain' the 'good' things in those charts that could get attributed to "amala". If not benefic outcome remains, then one would be confident that moon should not be treated as a benefic in the Lagna-Amala combination.

Namastey,

See, if you really want to talk about supreme benefics, then consider Jupiter and Venus only. In Jyotish, the two Brahmin Gurus are the only real natural benefics. Mercury's beneficence depends upon its association, while the phase system defines Moon.

For example, a natural benefic like Jupiter and Venus, when posited in the 10th house from either Lagna or Moon (the stronger one), Amala Yog is formed. Furthermore, if Jupiter aspects Venus or vice-versa, then the Yog is strengthened – consider this a blessing of the highest order!

Mercury, if alone and/or unassociated with malefic planets forms Amala Yog. Similarly, the Moon from Shukla Panchami - Poornima forms Amala Yog of the highest strength, especially considering the Moon. Some people might say that the Moon from Shuka Dwitiya - Krishna Dwitiya forms the Yog. It all depends.

Most importantly, this signifies the boon of having a benefic planet in the 10th house of career, fame, fortune, name, standing, and social stature. Benefics work phenomenally well here ensuring a shining professional life, of course, the rest of the chart also defines that.
