hi Ernst, friends,
the 2,8,12 lords are regarded as associates.
For gemini lagna the moon as 2nd lord is an associate.
in the video of gemini lagna Ernst says that saturn(8/9 lord) can form a yoga if with/asp an angel lord (ie, mercury). mercury(1/4 lord) can form a yoga if join/asp either angel or trine lord (ie; venus/jupiter). so although it is stated that only venus is auspicious for gemini lagna, saturn and mercury are producing yoga according to Ernst.
my question is, if i have understood correctly that which i have described above: 1. why moon as associate only can boost a yoga when joind venus(as 5th lord) but not saturn(as 9th lord) and mercury( as lagna lord)
2. if moon does not join any planet ,and aspects a yoga producing planets (lets say saturn and mercury) what would be its affect on the yoga, is it going to disrupt it as a maraka, or as it is not join any planet, it does not help or hurt with respect to the greatness yoga coming to fruition.
