Sakata, Vihaga (Pakshi), Hala, and Sringataka Yogas are specific planetary combinations based on the houses occupied by all planets.
Forms when all planets occupy only the ascendant (Lagna) and the 7th house.
Occurs when all planets are in the 4th and 10th houses, with Mercury, Venus, and the Sun necessarily in either the 4th or 10th house and inseparable in this yoga.
Arises if all planets occupy mutual trines but avoid the ascendant. This restricts participation to groups of houses such as:
There are three types of Hala Yogas corresponding to these groups.
Meaning 'triangle', forms when all planets are in mutual trines occupying the ascendant, 5th, and 9th houses.
In Hala and Sringataka Yogas, planets distribute across three different signs (Rasis), whereas in Sakata and Vihaga Yogas, planets occupy two houses. The trinal yogas (Hala and Sringataka) are considered superior to the opposition-based Sakata and Vihaga Yogas.
Chakra Yoga forms when all planets (excluding nodes) occupy six odd houses starting from the ascendant. Samudra Yoga forms when planets occupy six even houses starting from the 2nd house.
In both yogas, each planet aspects another, but Chakra Yoga excludes challenging houses (6th, 8th, 12th) and thus yields more beneficial results. Samudra Yoga includes these challenging houses, and its results improve if these houses are occupied by auspicious lords.

In Vedic astrology, the unique placements of planets create significant yogas, each with distinct effects on an individual's life. The Sakata and Vihaga Yogas focus on opposition, with planets occupying two primary houses, often leading to tension and challenges. In contrast, the Hala and Sringataka Yogas, with their trinal arrangements, offer more harmonious and balanced outcomes. Chakra and Samudra Yogas emphasize planetary aspect relationships across houses, bringing varied results based on the nature of the houses involved. Finally, Asraya and Dala Yogas add layers of complexity by focusing on the types of signs—movable, fixed, and mutable. Understanding these yogas enables astrologers to provide deeper insights into one's potential life path.
