How Gajakesari Yoga Forms
Jupiter is situated in a Kendra (angular house) from the Moon.
Formed when Jupiter occupies the 1st, 4th, 7th, or 10th house from the Natal Moon. According to B.V. Raman, the definition implies the Moon and Jupiter must be in mutual angles.

When It Is Strongest
Strongest
During the Dasa/Bhukti of Jupiter or Moon.
Weakest
When Jupiter is in the 6th, 8th, or 12th from Lagna despite being Kendra to Moon.
Classical Effects
Positive: Polite, generous, builder of institutions, wealthy, famous, lasting reputation.
Negative: None inherent, unless planets are afflicted.
Mixed: If Jupiter is debilitated, the person may have the desire to lead but lack the resources.
Cancellation & Intensification
Cancelled when: If Jupiter is combust, debilitated (Capricorn) without cancellation (Neechabhanga), or heavily afflicted by Rahu/Ketu/Saturn, the results are feeble.
Intensified when: Strength increases if Jupiter is not retrograde and possesses high Shadbala. If the Yoga occurs in a Kendra from the Lagna as well, it is more powerful.
