The yogi point is a positive point in the natal chart that indicates prosperity and the rise of fortune in

our life.

Whenever a planet transit over this yogi point. It brings good changes for the native both financially
and mentally. The transit of the slower planet brings gains and good luck for a longer duration of
period whereas faster planets bring sudden changes. Moreover, the sign and house where this yogi
point falls certainly enhances the significations of that sign and house.

Concept of Yogi, Avayogi and Duplicate Yogi Planet

Yogi planet: This planet acts as a catalyst that helps in success and prosperity in life during their Dasha
period.

Avayogi: This is just the opposite of Yogi planet which creates obstacles and hindrances in success and
prosperity.

Duplicate Yogi: This is just like a shadow of the Yogi planet. It helps the yogi planet as we say that God
helps those who help themselves. The PACE (Placement, Aspect, Conjunction or Exchange) is just like
“Sone pe Suhaga”

The exact longitude of this yoga becomes the yogi point. The nakshatra lord where this point falls
becomes a Yogi planet. The sign having this point, its lord becomes the Duplicate yogi planet. The lord
of 6th nakshatra from the yogi nakshatra is the Avayogi nakshatra and its lord is the Avayogi planet.
(The rule that sixth house represents our enemies continues with yogi and Avayogi planet also)

Calculation of yogi point

Let us suppose that we have a Scorpio ascendant and the longitudes of the Sun are 2 signs 3 degrees
26 minutes and that of the Moon are 8 signs 8 degrees 41 minutes. To these, we shall add a constant
figure of 3 signs 3 degrees 20 minutes. (This constant is actually 1st Yog ‘Vishkumbha’. It starts from
Pushya Nakshatra from the longitudes of 3 signs 3 degrees and 20 minutes.)

We add the longitudes of The Sun & The Moon and Constant

S 0 ’‘

2 3 26‘

+ 8 8 41‘

+ 3 3 20‘

= 13 15 27 after expunging 12 signs we get 1 sign 15 degree 27 minutes.

Now this is our ‘YOGI POINT’ which falls in Rohini Nakshatra whose Lord is Moon. So Moon becomes
the Yogi planet. So it is likely to enhance the significations related to Taurus sign and 7th house (for
Scorpio ascendant) signifying marriage, spouse and business partnership.
The sign lord of this point is Venus (Lord of Taurus sign) will be duplicate Yogi planet and act as
helping hand to Yogi planet.

Lastly for Avayogi planet, 6th Nakashtra from Rohini is Ashlesha, whose lord is Mercury. As such
Mercury becomes Avayogi planet.

Some points of observation for Yogi/Avayogi planets

Yogi planet is placed in a Kendra/trine gets the strength of producing good results during its MD/AD.
Sometimes Yogi planet behaves in a better way as compared to Lagan Nakashtra lord or any best-
placed planet in the chart.
Association of Yogi planet with the lord of Lagana or Yogyakarta multiplies their significations.
Yogi planet in the star of Ascendant is still better to do good.
Yogi planet if placed in malefic houses that 6th, 8th or 12th house becomes neutral but will not give
adverse results.
Avayogi planet if placed in nakshatra of ascendant is sure to give worst results. However, Avayogi
planet if placed in the 6th, 8th or 12th house is capable of giving good results.
Ra/Ke if placed with Avayogi planet or in the star of Avayogi is capable of giving excellent results.

their Abhimani Devathas are:

Yoga at any instance of time is best explained by the method of calculation. Yoga is determined by the
sum total of the positions of Sun and Moon. Each yoga is represented by 13° 20' degrees (A circle of
360 degrees divided by 27 units gives 13° 20' per unit). Therefore, the sum total of the positions of
Moon and Sun is counted in intervals 13° 20' degrees to arrive at the Yoga. [Whenever the total
exceeds 360°, 360° is subtracted from the total for the calculation purpose. example: Sun 270° + Moon
200° = 470° - 360° = 110°] Some of the Yogas are said to be Not-so-benefic ones. They are:
Vishkambha, Athiganda, Shoola, Ganda, Vyaghatha, Vajra, Vyathipatha, Parigha and Vydhruthi. Many
Panchangams report Amrutha, Siddha and Marana as Yogas. The word Yoga has been used in these
Panchangams to mean phalas (benefits) due to the combination of week day and Nakshatra and has
nothing to do with the Yoga described here.
Details of 5 Elements in Panchang, 27 Yogas & 11 Karanas (7 Movable, 4 Fixed), influence on child
birth, to know nature of person, result of an attempt etc.

Panchang is collection of 5 (panch) elements (ang), based on sunrise, moon’s position, time etc.
These five are :

1. Day of Week (each day is ruled by a planet), also called Vaara

2. Nakshatra (star or constellation in which Moon is transiting)
3. Tithi (moon phase, with respect to Sun’s position)
4. Karana (half a lunar day) (each Tithi has 2 Karanas)
5. Yoga (a special calculation for the separating distance of the Sun and Moon)

• Uttering the Yoga will help one keep deep afflictions away
• Uttering the Karana will help one to get their desires fulfilled.

27 Nithya Yogas in Panchangam

How to Calculate Nithya Yoga (Present Yoga) : Add longitude of the Moon to the longitude of
the Sun and divide it by 13 degrees 20 minutes to get the Nithya Yoga.
Nithya Yoga = (Longitude of Sun + Longitude of Moon) / 13°20′

during that time. Also while meeting a new person, they are observed by few to know the mindset of

Technically, a Karan is said to be completed when the difference between the locations of the Moon
and Sun crosses multiple of six degrees.

There are total 11 Karanas in Astrology; Bava, Baalav, Kaulav, Taitil, Gar, Vanij, Vishti, Shakuni,
Chatushpad, Naag, Kinshtughna. The first 7 Karans are known as 'Char', which means variable
and the last 4 Karnas are called as 'Sthir' which means constant. Last 4 are known as 'Sthir'
because they always come in a specific period starting from the second half of Krishna Paksh (Dark
Fortnight) Chaturdashi and ending with first half of Shukla Paksha (Bright Fortnight) Pratipada.
First 7 Karanas are known as Char, because they come repeatedly, in a specific sequence, covering
