Monthly Special Yoga and Dosha Finder (Siddhi, Pushya, Pushkar & Muhurta Doshas)

The Significance of Siddhi, Pushya, Pushkar Yogas and Muhurta Doshas

In Vedic Muhurta, special combinations of weekday, Nakshatra, Tithi, planetary Nakshatra positions, and Sun-Moon Nakshatra relationship are used to judge whether a period supports or obstructs an activity. Siddhi, Pushya and Pushkar Yogas can strengthen suitable actions, while classical Doshas such as Dagdha, Kuhu, Krakacha, Khachara, Yamaghantaka and Latha indicate caution or rejection for important auspicious works. Important ceremonies and major life events should still be judged with Tithi, Nakshatra, Lagna, Tarabala, Chandrabala, Panchaka, Durmuhurta, Varjyam, combustion, and event-specific rules.

• Guru Pushya Yoga: Formed when Pushya Nakshatra falls on Thursday. It is considered highly auspicious for education, spiritual practices, investments, gold or valuable purchases, property-related planning, new ventures, and important agreements.
• Ravi Pushya Yoga: Formed when Pushya Nakshatra falls on Sunday. It is favourable for purchasing valuable items, prosperity-related activities, business planning, devotional practices, and works connected with stability and growth.
• Amrit Siddhi Yoga: A powerful weekday-Nakshatra combination believed to support long-lasting success, smooth progress, and completion of constructive works.
• Bhoumaswini Yoga: Formed when Ashwini Nakshatra falls on Tuesday. This Yoga is especially revered for Devi worship and health-related remedies. Devotees traditionally recite Sri Devyatharvashirsham before the Goddess on this day, praying for relief from severe health problems, renewed vitality, and divine protection.
• Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga: A favourable weekday-Nakshatra combination whose name means accomplishment of all purposes. It is generally used for starting important tasks, business activities, education, travel, and constructive efforts.
• Ravi Yoga: Formed when the Moon's Nakshatra falls at certain favourable distances from the Sun's Nakshatra. It is traditionally believed to remove many minor blemishes and support success in daily undertakings.
• Dwipushkar Yoga: Formed by specific combinations of weekday, Tithi, and Nakshatra. Actions begun during this Yoga are believed to repeat or multiply twice, so it is preferred for savings, investments, purchases, and auspicious beginnings. Negative activities, debt, disputes, and loss-related actions should be avoided.
• Tripushkar Yoga: A stronger multiplier Yoga formed by specific weekday, Tithi, and Nakshatra combinations. It is believed to multiply the results of actions threefold, so it is suitable for auspicious purchases, investments, and growth-oriented activities, but unsuitable for actions connected with loss, illness, conflict, or debt.
• Latha Dosha: This is a planetary affliction to the Moon's Nakshatra. The Sun afflicts the 12th Nakshatra from its position, Mars the 3rd, Jupiter the 6th, Saturn the 8th, Mercury the 22nd, Rahu the 20th, Venus the 24th, and the Full Moon the 7th. Important auspicious works should be avoided or judged carefully when the working Nakshatra is afflicted.
• Kuhu Yoga: The last four ghatis, about 96 minutes, of Amavasya are considered Vishaghati or poisonous time. Classical texts treat birth in this period as highly sensitive and recommend Kuhu Shanti. It is not suitable for auspicious beginnings.
• Yamaghantaka Yoga: An inauspicious weekday-Nakshatra combination. It is traditionally avoided for important auspicious activities, journeys, ceremonies and major beginnings because it can create obstruction, anxiety or loss of smoothness in the work.
• Dagdha Yoga: Formed by specific weekday-tithi combinations such as Sunday-Dwadashi, Monday-Ekadashi, Tuesday-Panchami, Wednesday-Tritiya, Thursday-Shashthi, Friday-Ashtami and Saturday-Navami. It is treated as a burnt period and generally avoided for shubha karmas.
• Krakacha Yoga: When the numerical value of the Tithi and weekday together becomes 13, Krakacha Yoga is formed. Classical Muhurta texts condemn it for auspicious activities, so it should be avoided for important beginnings.
• Khachara Yoga: When the Moon's Nakshatra counted from the Sun's Nakshatra is 3rd, 4th, 5th or 9th, Khachara Yoga is formed. It is especially avoided for marriage and Seemantam because it is said to harm the husband or child.
• How to Use These Results: Favourable Yogas should be used only after checking the complete Muhurta. If an auspicious Yoga and a strong Dosha occur at the same time, the Dosha should not be ignored for major events.
