Dear Sarajit,

 

I will answer this instead of Gurudev.

No.

 

If Jupiter is at 5 deg in Ar and Mercury at 3 deg in Le,

they have an ithasala yoga. Though Jupiter's longitude is

below Mercury's longitude, Mercury's advancement in his

sign (3 deg) is LESS than Jupiter's (5 deg). So they have

ithasala yoga.

 

If Jupiter is at 3 deg in Le and Mercury at 5 deg in Ar,

they have an easarpha yoga. Though Jupiter's longitude is

above Mercury's longitude, Mercury's advancement in his

sign (5 deg) is MORE than Jupiter's (3 deg). So they have

easarpha (a bad yoga - opposite of ithasala).

 

But be careful with retrograde planets and planets about

to become retrograde or direct. Judging Tajaka yogas in

such cases is trickier!

 

Basically remember it like this: If two planets are about

to have an EXACT aspect (trinal, sextile, square etc), i.e.

if exact aspect will take place in very near future, THEN

we have ithasala yoga.

 

May Jupiter's light shine on us,

Narasimha
