Yog (Part of Panchang): -
Technically, a panchaang related Yog is said to be completed when the phase difference of the positions of Sun & Moon becomes multiple of 13° 20´. There are 27 Yogs but they have no correlation with nakshatras or constellations and they have absolutely no significance in predictive Indian Astrology.In the context of Panchaang or Panchang, "Yoga" refers to a specific combination of the Sun and the Moon in the lunar calendar. It is one of the five key elements included in a Panchaang, which is an astrological almanac or calendar used in Hindu astrology.
Yoga represents the angle or relationship between the Sun and the Moon at a given point in time. It is calculated based on the longitudinal difference between the Sun and the Moon. The Yoga changes daily as the positions of the Sun and Moon shift.
There are a total of 27 Yogas, each with its unique name and characteristics, based on the different possible combinations of the Sun and the Moon. Some of the commonly known Yogas include Vishkumbha, Priti, Ayushman, Saubhagya, Shobhana, Atiganda, and Sukarma, among others.
Each Yoga has its own significance and astrological implications. It is believed that the Yoga prevailing at a particular time can influence different aspects of life, including health, wealth, relationships, and spiritual growth.
Astrologers and individuals refer to the Yoga mentioned in the Panchaang to determine the overall energy and suitability of a specific time period for various activities. For example, certain Yogas are considered auspicious for starting new ventures, while others may be more favorable for spiritual practices or specific rituals.
The Yoga, along with other elements of the Panchaang such as Tithi (lunar day), Vaar (weekday), Nakshatra (lunar mansion), and Karana (half-day), provides a comprehensive astrological overview and guidance for selecting auspicious timings, observing religious practices, and planning important events.
It's worth noting that the Yoga in the Panchaang should be interpreted in conjunction with other astrological factors and should not be considered in isolation for making significant life decisions. Professional astrologers are skilled in analyzing and interpreting the collective impact of various elements of the Panchaang for a comprehensive understanding of astrological influences.
