Best Career Options for Natives

The Gajakesari Yoga is created by Jupiter and Moon. Both the planets are never exalted together in the birth-chart. It is because Jupiter is exalted in Cancer and Moon is exalted in Taurus. Both these signs are third and eleventh sign from each other.That is why due to the position of Moon in the kendra house from Jupiter, it is in the eleventh house which is against the rules of Gajakesari Yoga. The auspiciousness of this yogas gets reduced when the signs of these planets are not located in Kendra. If any of these two planets are located in the exalted sign, the person gets auspicious results.
