How it forms

The lord of the 11th house, the house of income and gains, sits in a dusthana: the 6th, 8th or 12th house.

What it means

In effect. Money pressure tends to recur: gains arrive but slip away. Discipline, skill and steady saving ease it considerably.

Cancelled. Periods of financial pressure are real but passing; other strengths in the chart restore what is lost.

What cancels it

Any one of these in the chart cancels it, and the reading says which one applied:

Jupiter is strong and not debilitatedClassical
A Dhana Yoga is presentClassical
The 11th lord’s own debilitation is cancelledClassical
