About Varsha Yoga
What is Varsha Yoga?
Varsha Yoga (वर्ष योग) is one of the Vaara-Tithi (weekday-lunar day) combination yogas found in classical Panchang reference tables. Unlike the three-way Tithi-Nakshatra-Vaara combinations such as Siddha or Sudha Yoga, Varsha Yoga depends only on two elements — the weekday and the Tithi — with no Nakshatra condition attached.
Astronomical Formation
Varsha Yoga forms when a specific Tithi falls on a specific weekday, following a fixed reference table that assigns qualifying Tithis to each of the seven weekdays. What makes Varsha Yoga notably rare compared to other Vaara-Tithi yogas is that, in this reference table, only Budhavara (Wednesday) carries a qualifying Tithi — the first Tithi (Pratipada) of the fortnight. Every other weekday has no qualifying Tithi assigned for Varsha Yoga at all, which means the yoga can only ever occur on a Wednesday that coincides with Pratipada, making it one of the least frequent combination yogas tracked on this site.
Significance
As with other Vaara-Tithi combinations in traditional Panchang, Varsha Yoga is referenced by astrologers as one of several named windows worth noting when a matching Wednesday-Pratipada falls within a planning period. Because its exact classical usage and prescribed activities are narrower and less commonly detailed than for major yogas like Siddha or Ravi Yoga, it is best treated as an informational marker to be reviewed alongside a qualified astrologer's guidance for any specific decision.
Important Considerations
Because Varsha Yoga occurs only on a qualifying Wednesday, check the calendar carefully for its rare occurrences in your chosen year. As always, verify exact start and end timings against local sunrise for your city, and consider any other Panchang factors active on the same day before making important decisions.
