The 27 Nitya Yoga of indian astrology

Nitya Yoga

Yog is an important part of the Panchanga system that plays a crucial role in determining the right time / Muhurta for any action.

　

There are broadly speaking two types of Yogs in Panchanga:

Naisargika/ Nitya Yogs ,i.e based on the longitudes of the Sun and the Moon

Tatkaalika Yogs (,i.e based on the combination of Vaar / day of the week and constellation)

Nitya means daily. The angular relationship between the sun and the moon leads to the creation of daily Yogs which are based on the angle of separation between the Sun and the Moon. These take a bit longer than Nakshatra which takes only the Moon into account. With the Nitya Yogs, the Sun’s movement is also to be considered and the Moon has to travel 13°20’ away from the Sun for each Nitya Yog. There are in total 27 Nitya Yogs, some extremely favourable, others favourable and still others not so favourable.

In terms of Nitya Yog, the time period is mentioned in terms of Ghatis. A ghati is 24 minutes. There are 60 ghatis in one day.

Nitya Yogs are also known in Vedic Astrology as Surya Siddhant Yogs or Dina Yogs. They are different from Bhava Yogs or Planetary Yogs.

Calculation

The calculation of the Nitya Yogs is simple. The heavens above is spherical, hence contain 360°, which divided by 27 constellations is equal to 13°20’. So, for each 13°20’, a Yog is formed.

Now, add the longitude of the Moon to the longitude of the Sun, divide it by 13°20’ and the consequent Nitya Yog is thus derived.

At the birth of every individual, a particular Yog is formed which then constitutes the Birth Yog of the native.
