Rohiniranjanji
Far be it from me to jump to any conclusions - my study of astrology is a study of some phenomenal hits amongst so many misses it seems like a spinster rally!
Least of all would I wish to offend anyone, PY, his acolytes, or anyone at all really. I have a couple more charts of saintly Indians so I will bash on with them and see what comes of them.
Many thanks

Dear Crocus,
I state this with the utmost respect for the saintly persona that Paramahansa ji was and his Divine blessings continue. Although Swamiji is known to not rely on astrology, divinations and divinators and to have burnt the predictions made for him by his family oracle, so as to not be influenced by whatever the pronouncements were and his vehement opposition of his family to get him married. I have some thoughts about that but without any objective evidence etc, it would be inappropriate to put those forth here. Please also note that I am not in any shape or form associated with his spiritual organization or Kriya yoga path as followed by the disciples of the Great lineage of Babaji, Lahiri moshaay, Swami Yukteshwar Giri ji and Paramahansa Yogananda or his disciples. Or for that matter of any other spiritual organization etc.
You never really shared why you suddenly got motivated to look at/study Yogananda ji's chart and for that matter details about how you approached the horoscope of this highly notable nativity, other than looking for raj-yogas and finding one or two. I can surmise the likely reasoning perhaps being that without any doubt Swami ji created with Divine help and guidance a strong spiritual organization and successfully spread spiritual uprising beyond the waters that surround his birth nation.
Astrologers tend to be a rather diverse community with significant differences of approach and yogas form a rather important consideration, as well as shad-bala and as we know Jyotish has so many more interesting facets including vargas and ashtakavarga and argalas, padas, umpteen dasas and so on and on and on. And, of course, the icing on the cake is ayanamsha choice. Add to that the ever-present possibility of inaccurate birth-times etc, a whole can of worms, the cake can soon begin to look more like swiss-cheese!
Just from his autobiography (AoaY), he appears to be of a gentle entity. Swami Vivekananda, on the other hand, sounds as one with a more intense nature. Both very impressive personalities, though. I notice that lagnesha in the simha lagna chart is not very strong (SB) and though strong in SB, moon is in lagna as lord of 12th and of diminishing pakshabala (krishnapaksha). The dispositor jupiter (of lagnesha) is of interest though since it is the final dispositor for all planets and placed in the house representing occultism (8th) as lord of 8th where it associates with the lord of 4th and 9th. I think that the combination of dispositors of lagnesha and atmakaraka (also the strongest planet on SB scale in chart) is something that should not be ignored as a factor that made him so intensely desire a spiritual path. That the padas of the 11th house and 5th house in the 8th hosting the two dispositors adds significant weight. You must have noticed also that AK is lord of the 10th and 3rd and so is dispositor of ketu (and gulika). Several associations therefore of voluntary renunciation further the interesting double-aspect of separative saturn not only on atmakaraka, but also on the mars-jupiter (rashi and graha drishti) from the kutumba which hosts the pada of 12. Several indicators, therefore, of leaving family, relations, shunning the worldly path forcefully are all there. Note also the associations of significant planets in the D9 and D20. I personally think that oversubscribing to yogas etc can lead to impediment in ones delineation.
They are important to learn and know but perhaps a chart speaks more through significant connections and associations of personal indicators.
This is getting long, but the D10 has interesting trinal connectivities too. Several pointers exist hinting a mission connecting nativity with spreading spirituality abroad.
Just to be complete, there exists a data-gap in Swamiji's birthdata relating to the issue of Gorakhpur observing Madras time as opposed to actual LMT etc. I have not poked and prodded that at all, hence needed to mention that. In passing, do focus on the node being placed in the badhakasthana which also holds the padas of I and VII.
Have fun digging some more by yourself or in consultation with your teacher/teachers etc.

Rohiniranjan
