Dhriti Yoga
Dhriti is the eighth of the 27 Yogas in Vedic astrology. The word 'Dhriti' translates to "patience," "firmness," "resolution," or "steadfastness." It is a highly beneficial Yoga that favors stability, emotional resilience, and the completion of long-term goals.
Nature and Influence
People born under Dhriti Yoga are characterized by their immense patience and steady character. They are the "marathon runners" of life, possessing the ability to stay focused on their path regardless of distractions or obstacles. This Yoga provides a natural emotional balance, allowing the native to remain calm and collected in the face of adversity.

- Patient: They understand that greatness takes time and are willing to wait for the right moment.

Ruling Deity: Jala (The Deity of Water)
The presiding deity of Dhriti Yoga is Jala (the personification of the cosmic waters). Water represents the power of flow, life-force, and the ability to adapt while remaining true to its nature. This connection grants Dhriti natives a fluid, yet deep, character. Just as water can eventually wear down the toughest stone through persistence, people born under this Yoga achieve victory through consistent effort and quiet strength.
