Vajra

Vajra Yoga

Vajra is the fifteenth of the 27 Yogas in Vedic astrology. The word 'Vajra' translates to "thunderbolt," "diamond," or "immovable." It is a powerful and intense Yoga that symbolizes strength, firmness, and the discipline required to maintain order and justice.

Nature and Influence

People born under Vajra Yoga are characterized by their formidable willpower and physical or mental strength. Like a diamond, they are hard to break and can withstand immense pressure. While this Yoga is sometimes considered challenging for social relationships due to its rigid nature, it provides the native with the ability to lead, protect, and stand firm in their principles. Success for Vajra natives comes through focus and upholding the truth.

Characteristics

  • Strong-Willed: They possess an unwavering resolve. Once they commit to a path, they are very difficult to sway.
  • Disciplined: They value rules, order, and consistency. They often lead a highly structured and principled life.
  • Fearless: They have the courage to face even the most intimidating opponents or situations.
  • Wealthy: Associated with the accumulation of solid assets and financial stability through persistent effort.

Ruling Deity: Varuna (God of Cosmic Waters)

The presiding deity of Vajra Yoga is Varuna, the God of the cosmic waters, the sky, and the divine law (Rita). Varuna is the guardian of moral order and the judge of truth. This connection grants Vajra natives a deep internal sense of justice and a "vision" for cosmic principles. Varuna’s influence ensures that the strength of the Vajra is used to uphold law and righteousness rather than just for personal gain.
