How Kusuma Yoga is formed? …
In a birth chart made as per Vedic astrology principles the Kusuma Yoga is formed if the planet Jupiter occupies the ascendant, the Sun the 2nd and the Moon the 7th house.
Finer Details of the Yoga: Kusuma Yoga is in fact a combination of two important yogas of Vedic astrology viz. the Gajakesari Yoga and the Shubha-Vasi Yoga.

Jupiter is placed in the 12th place with respect to the Sun.

The native in whose birth chart this yoga is formed enjoys professional authority, power, prosperity and good public reputation.
The actual results depend upon the strength of the planets and houses involved and other factors like aspects and constellations involved.

Birth charts of some magistrates, mayors, municipal commissioners and head of administrative bodies etc. have been observed to carry this Yoga.
