Sheela Yoga Timings for 2026

What is Sheela Yoga?

Sheela Yoga (शीला योग) is one of the many named Vaara-Tithi (weekday-lunar day) combination yogas listed in traditional Panchang reference tables, alongside better-known names such as Ratnakur, Samvarta, and Dagdha Yoga. Like those, it depends only on the weekday and the Tithi — no Nakshatra condition is involved — and is one of the narrowest, most sparingly-occurring entries in that table.

Astronomical Formation — An Extremely Rare Window

According to the classical reference table used for this calculation, Sheela Yoga has only a single qualifying slot across the entire week:

• Sunday: Saptami (7th Tithi).

Monday through Saturday carry no qualifying Tithi for Sheela Yoga at all, so it never occurs on those weekdays — making it noticeably rarer than most other named Vaara-Tithi combination yogas, which typically recur on several Tithis across multiple weekdays.

How to Read Sheela Yoga

Because this exact combination — Sunday paired with the 7th Tithi — is drawn from the same reference table as several inauspicious entries (including Samvarta/Mahashoola Yoga, which shares this identical Sunday slot), it is prudent to treat Sheela Yoga with the same caution generally applied to narrowly-scoped Vaara-Tithi combinations, rather than assuming it is either strongly favourable or strongly adverse in isolation. Different Panchang traditions can read minor, single-slot yogas like this one differently, so it is best interpreted alongside the day's other Panchang factors rather than on its own.
