About Hutashan Yoga
What is Hutashan Yoga?
Hutashan Yoga (हुताशन योग) is one of the traditional Vaara-Tithi (weekday-lunar day) combination Yogas used in Panchang for Muhurat screening. “Hutashan” is a Sanskrit name for Agni, the fire deity — literally, “the one who consumes offerings.” True to its fiery name, Hutashan Yoga is treated as a cautionary window best factored into planning rather than a favorable one.
Astronomical Formation — The Vaara-Tithi Rule
Hutashan Yoga depends purely on the pairing of the weekday (Vaara) and the current Tithi (lunar day) — the Moon's Nakshatra is not a factor. Each weekday has exactly one Tithi that triggers this Yoga:
- Sunday (Ravivara): Dwadashi Tithi
- Monday (Somavara): Shashthi Tithi
- Tuesday (Mangalavara): Saptami Tithi
- Wednesday (Budhavara): Ashtami Tithi
- Thursday (Guruvara): Navami Tithi
- Friday (Shukravara): Dashami Tithi
- Saturday (Shanivara): Ekadashi Tithi
Because it recurs on this fixed Tithi-weekday pairing, Hutashan Yoga returns roughly once each lunar month, whenever that weekday and Tithi coincide.
Why It Is Considered Inauspicious
Being associated with Agni, Hutashan Yoga is traditionally viewed as carrying a volatile, consuming quality — suitable for nothing that is meant to be nurtured and built up slowly. Muhurat texts generally advise against scheduling weddings, Griha Pravesha, foundation-laying ceremonies, new business launches, or other long-term commitments during this window. It is grouped alongside similar cautionary Vaara-Tithi combinations such as Vish and Dagdha Yoga.
Important Considerations
Each Hutashan Yoga window runs continuously through the Tithi and is shown split at local sunrise, in line with Panchang convention. Since Tithi boundaries shift slightly day to day, always verify the exact start and end times above for your city, and cross-check against any other yogas or muhurats active on the same date before finalizing important plans.
