How it forms
The 10th house, the house of reputation, counted from the ascendant or failing that from the Moon, holds at least one planet, and every planet in it is a natural benefic.
The natural benefics are Jupiter and Venus always, Mercury unless it shares a sign with the Sun, Mars, Saturn, Rahu or Ketu, and the Moon when it is waxing. Amala means “spotless”.
What it gives
A clean, lasting reputation. You are remembered for integrity more than power.
How common is it?
We cast 20,000 charts with this site's engine, for random birth times and places between 1940 and 2010, and counted. Amala Yoga appeared in 21.4% of them: about one chart in five. It held in full, with none of its weakening conditions, in 21.4%.
