What is a Yoga in Vedic Astrology?
In Vedic astrology, a Yoga is a combination of the Sun and Moon positions at your birth. There are 27 Yogas (also called Nitya Yogas or Daily Yogas), each with unique characteristics that influence your life path, personality, and the auspiciousness of different time periods.
Sun-Moon Combination
Your Yoga is calculated by adding the sidereal longitudes of the Sun and Moon. This combined value reveals which of the 27 Yogas governs your birth moment.
Time Period Influence
Each Yoga spans 13°20' of the combined sun-moon arc. Yogas reveal auspicious and inauspicious periods, helping you time important life events and decisions.
Did You Know?
Yogas are one of the Panchanga (five limbs) of the Vedic calendar, along with Tithi, Nakshatra, Karana, and Vara. Ancient sages used Yogas for Muhurta (electional astrology) to determine the most favorable times for ceremonies, travel, business ventures, and spiritual practices.
Why Your Yoga Matters
Your birth Yoga influences various aspects of your life and is used for important decisions in Vedic traditions:

How Yoga is Calculated
The Yoga calculation is based on precise astronomical positions. Understanding this helps you appreciate the accuracy and ancient wisdom of Vedic astrology.
Calculation Steps:
- Calculate Sun's position: Determine the Sun's sidereal longitude at birth (using Lahiri Ayanamsha)
- Calculate Moon's position: Determine the Moon's sidereal longitude at the exact birth time and location
- Add positions: Sum = (Sun's longitude + Moon's longitude) mod 360°
- Divide by Yoga arc: Yoga Number = floor(Sum / 13.333°) + 1
- Identify Yoga: Match the number to one of the 27 Yogas
Technical Details
Each Yoga spans exactly 13°20' (13.333°) of the combined sun-moon arc. The total 360° circle is divided into 27 equal parts, creating the 27 Yogas. This system has been used for thousands of years in Vedic astrology and Hindu Panchanga (calendar) calculations.
