We have already discussed in a series of articles carried in the Zodiac, the results each of the nine planets produce in conjunction with another planet in separate two –planet combinations. Starting with this article, we propose to discuss in another series of articles the results the planets produce in different three- planet combinations or Tri-Graha Samyoga.

Students of Astrology have to remember that the results of the three-planetary combinations given as in the case of Dwi-Graha Samyoga are of a general nature and that the effects produced by all planetary conjunctions either intensify or lessen depending on the sign and the House where the conjunction occurs and the benefic or the malefic aspect it receives among other factors.  

Sun – Moon – Mars:  The person born when this conjunction powerfully occurs in a sign, would be very gallant.  He would come into both wealth and power. He would destroy all his enemies.  In fact, one turning against him, would only be courting disaster. The native is just and fair-minded. If this conjunction is afflicted, the native would become a wicked sinner. 

Sun – Moon –Mercury:  The person born when this Samyoga powerfully occurs in a sign, would be an intellectual, wise, and learned.  This conjunction would produce very favourable results relating to matters represented by the House where it occurs. If the conjunction is afflicted, the native would be a spluttering half-blind idiot.

Sun – Moon – Jupiter: If these planets powerfully conjoin in a sign at birth, the subject would be a learned and a powerful person possessing sterling qualities. He would be healthy and wealthy. He would have a sound mind and a sound body.  If the Samyoga is afflicted, they native would be a sickly person wallowing in misery. 

Sun –Moon – Venus:  These three planets powerfully posited together in a sign at birth would make the native clever at acquiring wealth.  He would have enemies.  If the Moon and Venus are afflicted, the native would resort to sinful base acts to satisfy his carnal desires. He would become shameless adulterer.

Sun - Moon – Saturn: If born when these three planets are together in one sign, the native would be a hardy and rugged person who is fearless.  He would have no respect for anyone either.  He would become wealthy and famous during the last stage of his life.  The native would die at a young age if the conjunction were afflicted.   
Sun – Mars – Mercury:  This conjunction would produce a rude and wicked person. If the Samyoga is afflicted, the native would become a desperado capable of committing any sin without shame.

Sun - Mars – Jupiter:  This is a very favourable conjunction.  The native would be a righteous person who does not hesitate to uphold justice and fair play. He is devoted to his wife and children. He would be looked on as a leader of his community. He would become wealthy towards the latter part of his life. He would not be a religious bigot. If the conjunction occurs in an evil House with malefic effects, the native would become a spendthrift. 

Sun –Mars – Venus:  If this conjunction occurs in the Lagna or in the 2nd or the 12th House, the native would be an eye patient.  However, he would be endowed with physical strength and power.  He would be very persevering, but very passionate.  He is dynamic and proactive. 

Sun – Mars – Saturn:  If these three malefics occupy a sign together in a strong House, the native would become a powerful personality soon. He would quickly achieve material success. Enemies would fear him. All relatives would accept his leadership and supremacy.  If the conjunction is afflicted, the native would be a miserable sickly person alienated by his relatives. He is likely to suffer from neurological problems and ailments affecting blood. 

Sun – Mercury – Jupiter:  This is a very favourable combination.  Native would be a perfect gentleman. He would be truthful and rational in his beliefs. He would be a brilliant scholar.  His income would come from literary, academic, or scientific efforts. If the conjunction is afflicted, he would suffer from liver troubles, and inflammation of internal organs.
