Planets other than the Sun (excluding Rahu/Ketu) occupy both the 2nd AND 12th from the Moon simultaneously.

Effects when Durdhura Yoga is present

Both earned wealth (Sunapha side) and received comforts (Anapha side). Natives are often well-off, generous, and respected — a balance of building wealth and enjoying it. A common combination in successful family-business charts.

  • Self-made wealth combined with comfort and gifts
  • Balanced 2nd (income) and 12th (expenses / luxury) house life
  • Cancels Kemadruma definitively
