Vishkumbh Yog

Vishkumbh Yog

Vishkumbh Yog is the 1^{st Nitya / Naisargik Yog and is considered to be a highly inauspicious and extremely malefic one .}

[Nitya means daily. These are instances of daily Yog formed by the angular relationships between the Sun and the Moon. These Yogs are based on the angle of separation between the Sun and the Moom. 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.

Nitya Yogs are also known in Vedic Astrology as Surya SIddhant Yogs or Dina Yogs. They are different from Bhava Yogs or Planetary Yogs. 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. At the birth of every individual , a particular Yog is formed which then constitutes the Birth Yog of the native.

He will be possessor of many riches and will enjoy all the material pleasures of life. He shall remain surrounded by friends and well-wishers and shall have a sharp intellect. He shall wield an upper hand in his dealings with others and accumulate immense property and wealth.
