When it works

How a practitioner reads it
The seven classical planets (Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn) all sit in movable (chara) signs: Aries, Cancer, Libra, or Capricorn. Rahu and Ketu's placement is generally not weighted.What the rajju yoga is doing
Rajju is the first of the Nabhasa ('sky') yogas — a category that classifies charts by the geometric distribution of planets across the zodiac rather than by individual configurations. Rajju applies when all seven classical planets land in the four movable signs.
The classical reading is a life of considerable travel, repeated change of residence, restless temperament, and difficulty staying long in any one situation. Rajju people often have careers that involve geographic mobility — diplomats, travel writers, traders, sales representatives, military officers, foreign-service workers.
The yoga is rare because the geometric distribution it requires is unlikely. When present, it is one of the more confident predictors classical sources offer about a chart's life-shape.
When it’s blunted
Resisted, Rajju can manifest as chronic dissatisfaction with the present location and inability to stay anywhere long enough to harvest the work.
