The name of the Maalikaa yoga is
derived from the Sanastrit word ‘Maalaa’ the literal meaning of which is
‘garland’. We know that a garland is made swinging flowers one after another to
a twine.
Formation of Maalikaa yoga: –
As the name suggests the Maalikaa
yoga is formed when each of the consecutive seven houses of a horoscope is occupied
by a planet excluding Rahu and Ketu. Rahu – Ketu may be conjoined with any of
the planets in any of the houses but the point to be noted is that a lone Rahu
or Ketu in any of the seven consecutive houses is not deemed to have formed the
Maalikaa yoga. In other words, only the seven planets, Sun, Moon, Mars,
Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn are eligible to form the Maalikaa yoga.
Rahu and Ketu may be placed anywhere in the horoscope in combination with any other seven planets or alone. From the perspective of the technicality of
formation the Maalikaa yoga can be termed as a very rare yoga; because, the
lining up of the planets consecutively onto the seven houses without leaving a
single house blank in between is definitely rare case.
Effects of the Maalika yog: –
The hypothesis about the Maalikaa
yoga in a horoscope is that this yoga blesses the native with the abundance of
wealth, power, name, fame, reputation, good health, and longevity. However, the degree of results largely depends
on the dignity of the planets and the houses or bhava with which the formation
is started. The presence of other yogas such as Panch-Mahapurush yogas, exchange of the lords of the trikone and Kendra houses help this yoga to
deliver maximum results.
Types of Maalikaa yoga and specific results

The Maalika yoga can be formed from
both the Lagna and the Moon sign or the Chandra lagna. But some astrologers
opine that the Maalika yogas formed from the lagna should only be regarded as
the Maalikaa yoga as the Maalikaa yoga formed from the Moon sign is unable to
deliver the fruitful results. While some other astrologer believe that the
Maalikaa yoga formed from the lagna or the Lagna Maalikaa yoga only can give
fruitful and effective results.
