How it forms
Jupiter, Venus and Mercury all sit in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 7th, 9th or 10th house, and Jupiter is dignified or in the sign of a friend.
The yoga is named for Saraswati, the goddess of learning, music and speech.
What it gives
A gift for learning, music and speech; knowledge is both your pleasure and your livelihood.
What weakens it
