Bandhan Yog -Feeling Trapped Without a Cage? Not all prisons have walls. Some are built in the mind. In Vedic astrology, Bandhan Yog is not just about going to prison. It can represent any kind of restriction — physical, emotional, mental, or even spiritual. What Does “Bandhan” Mean? It means bondage, confinement, or limitation. And this can show up in many forms: A person isolates themselves and avoids connection - emotionally withdrawn. Someone refuses to commit -to people, work, or goals -mentally closed off. Trapped in habits, fears, or responsibilities-no visible chains, but still stuck. When Does Bandhan Yog Form? This yoga is formed When equal number of planets are placed in both the houses 2nd–12th, 4th–10th, or 6th–8th. For example: in the 6th house: Rahu and Sun and in the 8th house Mars, Saturn If these houses are filled with malefic planets (like Saturn, Mars, Rahu, or Ketu), the result can be suffering – legal issues, imprisonment, or inner turmoil. But if there are also benefic planets (like Jupiter, Venus, or Moon), the person may experience healing, growth, or even spiritual transformation while in a difficult situation. Bandhan Yog Can Be a Turning Point Sometimes, being “stuck” leads to a breakthrough. There are real-life stories of people who discovered their life purpose, wrote books, or awakened spiritually while going through confinement.
