दुरुधरा योग
Durudhara Yoga
Planets in BOTH the 2nd and 12th from natal Moon. Lifelong support and protection.
Classical reading
Stronger than Sunapha or Anapha alone — Durudhara forms when there are planets (other than the Sun, Rahu, Ketu) in BOTH the 2nd and 12th signs from the Moon. The Moon is "carried" between two flanking forces. Classical reading: lifelong support of resources, friends, and protection; emotional life feels held; inner and outer worlds reinforce each other.
