P.V.R. Narasimha Rao (PVR) frames it with an image: in any chart Lord Vishnu sits in the quadrants and Goddess Lakshmi in the trines. When a quadrant lord and a trine lord connect, PVR reads it as a yoga for status and prosperity.
Three kinds of association count: the two planets are conjoined, aspect each other with graha drishti (planetary aspect), or have a parivartana (exchange of houses). The lagna counts as both a quadrant and a trine.
A special case: when the 9th and 10th lords form a raja yoga it is called Dharma-Karmadhipati yoga, since PVR calls the 9th the most important trine and the 10th the most important quadrant. BPHS gives similar links between kendra and kona lords that 'cause a Yog'.
