Lakshmi Yoga is present in the above horoscope by the association of lord of Lagna (the Sun) and the lord of the 9th (N{ars) both being posited in the I lth. Mars' Dasa was very bright and it gave the native much wealth, name and reputation. Where a really strong Lakshmi Yoga is present, and this is indeed a rare phenomenon, the results will manifest fully. But in almost every horoscope of any pretence to wealth, Lakshmi Yoga in some form or other is likely to be found.
