What is Purnarpoo Yoga in astrology?

Purnarpoo Yoga (or Punarpoo Yoga) occurs when the same planet occupies two or more houses or signs simultaneously in the birth chart, often due to retrograde motion or planetary duplication. It indicates strong karmic patterns that repeat across different life areas.

Is Purnarpoo Yoga malefic or benefic?

It depends on the planet and houses involved. If benefic planets like Jupiter or Venus repeat in good houses, it amplifies positive traits. Malefic planets like Saturn or Mars repeating can intensify struggles. It always indicates karmic lessons that need attention.

How can Purnarpoo Yoga be remedied?

Remedies include strengthening the planet involved through mantra, gemstone therapy after consultation, performing homa for that planet, and consciously working to break repetitive negative patterns through awareness and spiritual practice.

What are the signs of Purnarpoo Yoga in a chart?

The same planet ruling two houses or occupying two different signs/houses due to retrograde motion. Also when a planet aspects its own house or sign from multiple positions, creating repetition of themes in the native's life.

♾️ What is Purnarpoo Yoga?

In Vedic astrology, Purnarpoo Yoga (also spelled Purnarpoo Yoga in Astrology:Effects & Remedies) is formed when the same planet occupies two or more houses or signs in the birth chart, often due to retrograde motion or planetary duplication. The word "Punar" means again, and "Apoo" means to obtain – symbolizing repetition of karmic themes. This yoga indicates that the native will encounter similar life lessons, patterns, and challenges repeatedly until the karmic debt is resolved.

Why repetition matters

When a planet repeats its influence, it amplifies that planet's energy across multiple life areas. The universe is giving you another chance to master that specific karmic lesson.

This yoga can involve any planet. For instance, if Mercury is retrograde and rules two houses while also occupying two different signs, it creates Purnarpoo Yoga. The native may face repeated challenges in communication, intellect, or business until they learn the deeper lesson Mercury is teaching. Unlike other yogas, Purnarpoo is not inherently malefic – it simply amplifies whatever the planet represents, both good and bad.

Scriptural Reference: "Punarapi graho yatra dvau sthanau vā dhruvam bhavet | Purnarpoo yogaḥ proktaḥ karmaṇām punarāvṛttiḥ" – Where a planet occupies two places, it is called Purnarpoo Yoga, indicating repetition of karma.

⚙️ How Purnarpoo Yoga Forms

This yoga occurs under specific planetary conditions:

Retrograde planets: A retrograde planet may appear to move backward into the previous sign, thus owning two houses and occupying two signs.
Planetary duplication: Same planet ruling two different houses (e.g., Mercury owns Gemini and Virgo) and also aspecting/occupying multiple places.
Graha Gochar: During transit, a planet may temporarily create repetition effects.

The strength of the yoga depends on the planet's dignity, the houses involved, and aspects received.

Chant the beej mantra of the repeating planet daily (e.g., "ॐ बुधाय नमः" for Mercury) 108 times to appease its energy.
