13. ELECTIONAL ASTROLOGY – MUHURTA
Muhurta signifies the valuable moment when there is maximum
harmony between human and stellar radiations. The horoscopy
is diagnostic whereas Muhurta is preventive or prescriptive.
Afflictions in birth chart can be minimized by selecting right
Muhurta for important undertakings. Muhurta takes into
consideration the importance of radical Moon as Moon
signifies the mind. Therefore every election should be so timed
as to have reference to birth star and birth Moon.
For calculating correct Muhurta, Panchang has a special
significance. Panchang means five limbs which are Tithi (Lunar
day), Vara (weekday) Nakshtra (constellation), Yoga (Semi
lunar day), and Karan (half a lunar day). The Tithi, Vara and
Nakshtra have already been discussed in this book.
Yoga is the period during which the joint motion in longitude
of Sun and Moon amount to 13020'. There are 27 yogas
namely Vishkambha, Priti, Ayushman, Saubhagya, Sobhana,
Atiganda, Sukarman, Dhriti, Soola, Ganda, Vriddhi, Dhruva,
Vyaghata, Harshana, Vajra, Siddhi, Vyatipata, Variyan,
Parigha, Siva, Siddha, Sadhya, Subha, Sukla, Brahma, Indra
and Vaidhriti. Karana is half a lunar day i.e. the time taken by
Sun and Moon to make relative movement by 60. There are
11 karans namely (1) Bava ( 2) Balava (3) Kaulav (4) Taitile
(5) Garija (6) Vanija (7) Visti (8) Sakuni (9) Chatuspada (10)
Naga and (11) Kimstughna.
In determining auspicious time for any particular undertaking,
apart from the special planetary combinations, the factors to
be considered are – (1) Tarabala or strength of Nakshtra (ii)
282
Chandrabala or lunar strength and (iii) Panchak or fire source
energy.
In the panchak determination, five sources of planetary, stellar
and zodiacal energies are involved. Take the number of lunar
day, number of week day, number of Nakshtra, the number
of Lagna. Add these together and divide the total by 9. If the
remainder is 1 it is Mrityu panchak which indicates danger, if
it is 2 it is Agni panchak which indicates risk from fire, if it is 4
it is Raja panchak which indicates bad results If it is 6 it is
Chore panchak which indicates evil happenings and if it is 8 it
is Rog panchak which indicates bad health. The remainders
0,3, 5, 7 are considered good.
Panchanga Suddhi :-
All the five elements i.e. Tithi, Vara, Nakshtra, Yoga, and
Karana must be auspicious for finding out auspicious time.
Panchang Suddhi, therefore means good lunar day – beneficial
weekday, an auspicious constellation, a good yoga and a
fertilizing Karana.
Karthari Dosha :-
Karthari means scissors. For selecting auspicious time, when
two malefic planets are posited on either side of Lagna, the
combination goes under the name of Karthari Dosha and the
same should be avoided for any auspicious occasion.
Siddha Yogas :-
These relate to coinciding certain week days with certain
Nakshtra and a certain lunar day. These are considered
283
auspicious for good work.
A Friday coinciding with Nanda tithi (1,6,11 lunar days),
Wednesday coinciding with Bhadra (2,7 and 12 lunar days),
Tuesday coinciding with Jaya (3, 8, 13 lunar days), Saturdays
coinciding with Rikta tithi (4, 9, 14 lunar days) and Thursdays
falling on Poorna tithi (5, 10, 15 lunar days) constitute Siddha
yoga.
Sunday to Saturdays respectively coinciding with Nakshtra
Hasta, Sharvana, Aswini, Anuradha, Pusya, Revati and Rohini
give rise to Amrit Siddha yoga.
Adverse Yogas :
The followings give rise to adverse yogas and such
combinations should be avoided for any auspicious work.

be powerful and 8th house should be vacant. Mutual aspect
between Mars and Saturn should be avoided. Ruling Nakshtra
of Ardra, Jyeshtha, Ashlesha, or Moola coinciding with 4th,
9th or 14th lunar days are considered good.
Muhurta for filing Law Suits :-
Aswini, Rohini, Mrigshira, Uttar Phalguni, Hasta, Chitra,
Anuradha, Dhanishtha, and Revati are considered auspicious.
Tuesday and Saturdays should be avoided. The lords of Lagna
and 6th House should be far apart. If Lagna or Navamsa is
Aries, success in litigation is assured.
