Kumar Ojha in his "Hindu Predictive Astrology" clarifies that in case the lord of the 9th house is strong in own sign or exaltation in the lagna or the 3rd or the 9th the person will be powerful and influential, if it is in conjunction with the lord of the 10th in a good house preferably in a kendra or a trikona, the person will enjoy Raja yoga, be fortunate and occupy a high position but if the lords of the 9th and 10th happen to exchange signs the person will occupy a high position and be in good books of the government. The lord of a kendra associating with a lord of a trikona is a contributory factor for good luck. Mehr Lal Soni Zia Fatehabadi was born in Pisces Lagna occupied by Venus with Dharma Karmadhipati yoga caused by Jupiter and Mars combining in the 10th house in Sagittarius sign, which yoga made him a high-ranking government official and also gave him fame as an Urdu language poet and writer.
