About Samvarta / Mahashoola Yoga

What is Samvarta / Mahashoola Yoga?

Samvarta Yoga, also called Mahashoola Yoga (महाशूल योग), is an inauspicious Vaara-Tithi combination yoga from traditional Panchang reference tables. “Shoola” means a thorn or spear, and “Maha” means great — together suggesting obstruction, friction, and difficulty for work begun during its window. Like Ratnakur Yoga, it depends only on the weekday and Tithi, with no Nakshatra condition involved.

Astronomical Formation — A Rare Combination

Samvarta / Mahashoola Yoga is unusually rare among Vaara-Tithi yogas. In the classical reference table, only two of the seven weekdays carry a qualifying Tithi at all:

  • Sunday: Saptami (7th Tithi).
  • Wednesday: Pratipada (1st Tithi).

Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday have no qualifying Tithi in this table at all, so Samvarta / Mahashoola Yoga simply does not occur on those weekdays.

What to Avoid During This Yoga

Because of its “great thorn” association, Samvarta / Mahashoola Yoga is traditionally treated with caution for tasks that need a smooth, conflict-free start:

  • Weddings & Ceremonies: Vivah and other Manglik Karyas.
  • Business Launches: Signing agreements or starting a new venture.
  • Travel: Beginning important or long-distance journeys.
  • High-Stakes Decisions: Large financial commitments or legal proceedings.

Important Considerations

Each Samvarta / Mahashoola Yoga window is computed as a continuous interval and, matching Panchang convention, is displayed split at local sunrise. Given how rarely it occurs, always verify the exact start and end time for your city rather than assuming the whole day is affected, and weigh it alongside the day's other Panchang factors.

Frequently Asked Questions about Samvarta / Mahashoola Yoga

Samvarta Yoga, also called Mahashoola Yoga, is an inauspicious Vaara-Tithi (weekday-lunar day) combination yoga. "Mahashoola" means "great thorn," reflecting its association with obstruction and difficulty.
It is inauspicious. Traditional guidance is to avoid weddings, business launches, travel, and major financial or legal commitments while it is active.
Only Sunday (with Saptami, the 7th Tithi) and Wednesday (with Pratipada, the 1st Tithi) carry a qualifying Tithi in the classical reference table, making this one of the rarer named Vaara-Tithi combination yogas — it does not occur on the other five weekdays.
Both names refer to the same yoga in this reference table. "Shoola" (thorn/spear) conveys the sense of friction or obstruction traditionally associated with actions begun during this window.
Weddings and other Manglik Karyas, signing agreements, starting new ventures, beginning important journeys, and large financial or legal commitments are traditionally avoided.
Samvarta / Mahashoola Yoga windows are computed as continuous intervals from the exact Tithi and weekday (sunrise-to-sunrise) boundaries for your chosen location, then split at local sunrise to match Panchang convention.
