Lakshmi yoga is one of the Raja yogas, in fact, it is one of the most auspicious yogas amongst them. Lakshmi yoga arises when the 9th house lord is in his own sign, in an exalted state or Kendra, and is associated with the dominant lord of the ascendant. Being one of the wealth yogas, one of the benefits of Lakshmi yoga is great wealth and prosperity.

- High affinity for spirituality

- Closely knit maternal relationship (depending on the state of the 4th huose)
- Lucky and optimistic outlook on life.
