What is Gajkesari yog ? 

Gajkesari Yog is considered as one of the most auspicious yogin Vedic astrology. Gaj means elephant & Kesari means lion, this yoga is formed when the planet Jupiter is at the center from the Moon. If both in the center to each other it is considered that both planet beneficial power is magnified. 

Planet Jupiter is the main planet for wealth, knowledge, fame, children & good luck while Moon is the main planet responsible for heart, happiness, softness & prosperity. If both the planets are placed at the correct or appropriate positions, then it is very good for the naive’s horoscope. 

Condition for the formation of gajkesari yog in kundali :

3. Jupiter should not be retrograde.
4. Found in the horoscope of 20-33% of people, if the Jupiter planet is in the enemy’s house & Gajakesari yoga is also formed then it will be considered as inauspicious.
