Spaces for Personal and Public Planetary Yogas in the Zodiac

Let's look at the houses of the zodiac, that fundamental distillation of space in which roam the ambassadors of time, namely the grahas (Sun, Moon, planets, and lunar nodes) Applying the signs in the standard order of Kala Purusha (https://vedictime.com/en/library/rashi), we receive the following image. What I have not seen before is the acknowledgement of the built-in increased possibility of personal yogas in the left-half of the zodiac.

Since Sun, Mercury, and Venus all travel together or nearby, within 2 signs (and the Moon is so quick moving that half the time it is with these personal planets too), they are in their own signs only in that half of the year. Thus, there is an increased propensity for parivartana and dharmakarmaadipati and other yogas, those signatures that portend great strength of indication.

Conversely there is an increase but a slight one of possiblility of yoga for the more public planets of Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and the nodes when the Sun is traveling in the right side of the zodiac.

Some implications are:In the late Spring through early Autumn, more personal joy is possible. This is consistent with the planting to harvest seasons in an astrology that comes from a culture that is still largely agricultural, India.Somewhat more public development is possible in the seasons of late Autumn to early Spring when the Sun (and Venus and Mercury) are in the right side of the chart. These public developments are slow to form and slow to dissipate. Moreover, these public developments (in contrast to the private ones) are often difficult as Mars, Saturn, and the lunar nodes are operating in tension with the expansiveness of Jupiter.
Something to think about as we enter Scorpio season and a particularly amplified increase in indication for some very public developments in the next handful of weeks.
