How it forms

The lord of the 4th house and the lord of the 9th, two different planets, sit in kendras from each other: the 1st, 4th, 7th or 10th sign counted from one to the other.

The lord of the ascendant must also be strong, which the engine reads as its Shadbala reaching the BPHS minimum.

What it gives

Bold, energetic command of a group; people follow your lead.
