Compound Yogas
Compound Yogas are electional day categories formed by a specified pairing of the day's nakshatra and weekday. This group contains Amrit Siddhi Yoga and Dagdha Yoga: the former favors important beginnings, while the latter argues against them. Read the active variant first for its favorable or unfavorable direction, then apply that direction to the intended start.
In detail
A Compound Yoga is established when the day's nakshatra and weekday match a named pairing recognized in Vedic electional practice. Its primary judgment concerns whether the day supports beginning an undertaking. The nakshatra contributes the lunar-mansion quality and the weekday contributes the day's calendrical quality; their combination produces a distinct named result. Amrit Siddhi Yoga occupies the favorable, accomplishment-oriented side of the comparison, while Dagdha Yoga occupies the unfavorable, damaging side. Compare the variants first by direction, then by whether the planned act is a genuine commencement.

FAQ
- What kinds of events are most affected by Compound Yogas?
- Formal beginnings are affected most directly. The yoga combines the day's lunar mansion and weekday to judge whether the date supports or obstructs initiation, while established activity is not equally sensitive; check the active favorable or unfavorable form before signing, launching, departing, or opening.
- What is the difference between Amrit Siddhi Yoga and Dagdha Yoga?
- They carry opposite electional judgments. Amrit Siddhi Yoga favors accomplishment and commencement, whereas Dagdha Yoga marks the pairing as damaging and unsuitable for a new start; once the active form is known, use that direction to proceed or reschedule.
- Is a favorable Compound Yoga enough to choose an exact time?
- Not always. A Compound Yoga gives a day-level direction for beginning something, while separate favorable or unfavorable windows can still operate within that date; after choosing the day, check the interval containing the intended start.
