Tithi –
o
There is no doubt that the Tithi has a profound
impact on a person's personality, mental health, and outlook on
life—particularly regarding relationships.
o
The specific Tithi on which a person is born
significantly influences their relationships, social interaction skills, and
desire to form lifelong bonds.
o
Therefore, as a student of Vedic astrology, it
is essential to understand the influence of the Tithi and other elements of the
Panchang.
o
Krishan Paksh Tritiya – This is the third day of
the waning Moon in the Hindu month of Aashadh.
o
This day is influenced by Mars and Goddess Gauri
(symbols of love and devotion), with Lord Vishnu as the presiding deity. It is
a day rich in emotions and dreams.
o
This day embodies the expansive, creative, and
communicative energy where inspiration transforms into action and affection
seeks to manifest in tangible form.
o
People born on this day are expressive lovers
and skilled conversationalists who naturally seek to maintain harmony. However,
to sustain long-term compatibility in married life, they need to learn to
strike a balance between emotion and practicality.
o
The blend of energies from Mars and Goddess
Gauri makes those born on the Tritiya Tithi both romantic and spirited; they
desire passion, dynamism, and clear emotional responses in their relationships.
o
This date is considered 'Jaya Tithi'. It is
highly effective for active endeavors and channeling energy into action,
provided if, avoid starting tasks that require introspection or aim for
permanent, peaceful resolutions.
o
The 'Jaya' quality fosters efforts to achieve
progress, overcome obstacles, and emerge victorious in competitive
situations—such as examinations, debates, or legal matters.
o
According to Vedic astrology, a weak Moon or an
inauspicious Mars in the birth chart gives rise to 'Tithi Dosh'.
o
It is advisable to avoid legal disputes or
high-risk activities on this day. Additionally, one should refrain from making
hasty decisions without proper planning or taking impulsive actions.
o
According to Muhurt Chintamani, Tritiya is one
of the most reliable and auspicious lunar days for various activities.
o
The element associated with the Tritiya Tithi is 'Fire' (Agni), symbolizing
transformation, action, and clarity.
o
Quality – Rajasic –
which imbues the day and the individual with energy and a forthright,
expressive nature.
o
The Tritiya of the Krishan Paksh is suitable for
the following activities:
Manufacturing weapons; warfare; military
training, mobilizing an army, matters related to power or force; travel;
festivals; medical treatment; trade; household chores; flags and conch shells.
Points to note –
o
The three 'Uttara'
Nakshatras—Uttara Phalguni, Uttara Aashadha, and Uttara Bhadrapada—become
'Tithi Shunya' (void/nullified) if they fall on the Tritiya Tithi (third day)
of the Krishan Paksh.
o
It is believed that any auspicious activities
performed during the 'Tithi Shunya' period yield no results (i.e., they prove
fruitless).
o
Additionally, the Tritiya Tithi of the Krishan
Paksh during the Vedic month of Shravan (सावन) is designated as a 'Maas
Shunya Tithi'. It is considered inauspicious for commencing any new
tasks, as success is unlikely to be achieved.
Vaar
o
Friday – This day is associated with the planet
Venus, which governs love, beauty, wealth, and luxury. It symbolizes art,
desires, partnerships, and material comforts. This day is also deeply connected
to Goddess Lakshmi.
o
It is considered the most auspicious day for
worshipping Goddess Lakshmi to attain financial prosperity and material
stability.
o
An excellent time for purchasing jewelry,
clothing, or vehicles, and for initiating creative projects or artistic
performances.
o
A very favourable time for starting a romance,
getting engaged, or performing wedding rituals.
o
However, the
influence of Venus intensifies desire, making it easy to become excessively
engrossed in things or overly attached to material comforts.
o
Due to the optimistic and comfort-loving energy
of the planet Venus, major financial decisions or investments made on this day
could sometimes lead to financial loss.
o
An excessive focus on sensory pleasures can give
rise to issues such as conflicts, superficial relationships, and infidelity.
o
When Tritiya (the third lunar day) of the waning
moon phase (Krishan Paksh) falls on a Friday, a powerful
"inward-turning" energy is generated. This energy is highly
beneficial for healing and strengthening a weak, afflicted, or retrograde
Venus.
o
Tritiya is considered a 'Jaya' (victory) Tithi;
it is naturally ruled by Mars and is deeply associated with Goddess
Gauri/Durga. When it falls on a Friday, it blends the vigor and passion of Mars
with the grace and elegance of Venus.
o
It is an inner victory over one's own
shortcomings. It gives one the mental strength to overcome low self-esteem,
break free from the cycle of bad relationships, and overcome harmful financial
habits created by a weak Venus.
Key Points
o
To strengthen the positive Venus energy and
mitigate the negative effects, it is recommended to practice gratitude, respect
women, and practice self-care.
o
Since the Tritiya Tithi is governed by Goddess
Gauri, offering white flowers, a drop of perfume, or milk-based sweets (such as
kheer) to the Goddess this Friday helps transform bitterness in relationships
into harmony.
o
Krishan Paksh flourishes in solitude. On this
day, help a woman in need or quietly donate white things (like rice or milk)
without seeking praise or recognition. This directly pleases the diplomatic and
humble nature of the planet Venus.
Nakshatra
o
Shravan – This fall under Capricorn (earth
element) and symbolizes the power of listening, learning, and gathering
knowledge. Ruled by the Moon and presided over by Lord Vishnu, it symbolizes
endurance, deep communication, and spiritual growth.
o
The word 'Shravan' means 'to listen,' and its
symbol is the ear; people born under this Nakshatra are excellent listeners who
assimilate information and are highly skilled in conversation, teaching, or counselling.
o
Because it falls under the sign of Capricorn,
which is ruled by Saturn, people born under this sign are very hardworking and
patient, able to achieve their goals through hard work.
o
Their mind can act like an open recording instrument.
If they listen to too much negative news or gossip, it can cause them extreme
restlessness and disrupt their sleep.
o
Due to their adherence to high ideals, they can
sometimes come across as very stern and critical of others' shortcomings;
furthermore, this very rigidity—stemming from the pragmatic nature of the
Capricorn sign—often leads them to quickly make enemies.
o
Consequently, they become highly sensitive to
criticism and sometimes struggle with issues such as a lack of self-confidence
or self-doubt.
o
The intense desire to achieve goals can
sometimes turn into selfishness and rigidity, where any means are considered
right to achieve the goal.
o
It is said that
marriages are not performed during Shravan Nakshatra -- Because
it is believed that the husband or wife may soon renounce worldly desires and
turn to renunciation.
o
Ruling Planet –The Moon – Shravan is the third and
final Nakshatra ruled by the Moon; here, energy reaches the highest levels of
sensitivity and receptivity. It renders individuals highly intuitive,
empathetic, and attuned to the emotional atmosphere around them. The Moon's
emotional understanding is channelled through the discipline of Saturn.
o
Belonging to the Deva Gan (divine temperament)
category, such individuals are naturally gentle, compassionate, law-abiding,
and dedicated to Dharma (duty). They share good compatibility with other Nakshatras
that also belong to the Deva Gan.
o
They prioritize peace over conflict and uphold
high moral values; often, they place greater importance on the welfare of
society than on personal self-interest.
o
Deity – Lord Vishnu – He is the preserver and
protector of the universe. He possesses a calm and expansive energy, giving
people the ability to be organized and a strong will to maintain peace, order,
morality, and connect everyday tasks with higher spiritual truths.
o
This makes a person a reliable manager, able to
bring order to chaotic situations and secure resources for long-term progress.
o
Urdhvamukhi -Upward-
– Upward-facing Nakshatras direct their energy towards the sky, growth, and
advancement, leading to expansion, increase, upliftment, and long-term
progress.
o
The focus of the Shravan Nakshatra is always
directed "upwards"—towards high social status, elevated positions,
and career advancement. They are rarely content to remain stagnant in one
place.
o
Just as their energy moves upwards, these
individuals possess a remarkable ability to bounce back from setbacks. They
view difficulties or failures as stepping stones to reach even greater heights.
o
The combination of qualities (Gunas) across the
three levels for this Nakshatra is as follows: Rajas – Tamas – Rajas. Savoring all
three Gun
o
Since Shravan Nakshatra falls entirely under
Capricorn (ruled by Saturn) and is itself ruled by the Moon, this unique
combination of qualities directly influences a person's actions, challenges,
and major life events.
o
The main energy of Shravan is Rajasic.
o Rajas - It represents new beginnings in
professional life, the constant pursuit of promotions, and the desire to attain
positions of high authority.
o It
motivates individuals to enroll in various courses, learn new languages, or
acquire diverse skills.
o
Saturn’s energy has a profound influence on the
Capricorn sign; as this energy fosters stability, emphasizes structure, and
operates at a slow pace, the sign also possesses a Tamasic aspect.
o Tamas
– Tamas provides stability, firm boundaries, patience, and the capacity to
resist change.
o It
serves as a foundation or anchor for the primary Rajasic tendency.
o It
compels the individual to confront harsh material realities, rules, and
structures. Rajas – To achieve one's goals in the material world, the
individual needs to act with enthusiasm, hard work, ambition, and
determination.
o Major
life events—particularly significant career success and financial
independence—often come later in life.
o
Rajas – When delays or obstacles arise due to
the influence of Saturn (which is Tamasic in nature), the individual’s mind
neither admits defeat nor succumbs to despair. Instead, the quality of 'Rajas'
within them awakens. They devise well-thought-out plans to find a way forward,
listen attentively, and work with tireless enthusiasm.
o Driven
by the restlessness caused by stagnation in their work, they strategically plan
major shifts in their careers; at times, they may even move into an entirely
different industry to regain their momentum.
o
Body parts –
Lymphatic vessels, knees, skin. Such individuals may suffer from conditions
like eczema, leprosy, suppuration (formation of pus), tuberculosis (TB),
rheumatism, pleurisy, filariasis, and poor digestion.
o
Potential ailments – Such individuals may suffer
from conditions such as eczema, skin diseases, leprosy, mild pain, digestive
issues, palpitations, arthritis, cardiac thrombosis, gas-related gastric
discomfort, strain on bones, joints, and knees, back pain due to prolonged
sitting and heavy responsibilities, dental problems resulting from dietary and
self-care negligence, and bodily stiffness caused by excessive work and a lack
of physical exercise.
o
For such
individuals, simple and consistent habits are more beneficial than any other
measures:
o Daily
walking, Yog, and light exercise or stretching; these help keep the joints
healthy and flexible.
o A
Sattvic diet and fixed meal times—meaning avoiding late-night and heavy meals,
while also ensuring the diet is rich in fiber and calcium.
o Such
individuals often work late into the night; therefore, they are advised to
establish a fixed bedtime.
o
Since this Nakshatra is stable and righteous,
individuals born under it generally stick to a healthy routine once they decide
it is their duty to do so. Therefore, counseling sessions should address not
only their fears but also their sense of responsibility.
o
Profession – The ruling planet of Shravan
Nakshatra is the Moon; it is situated entirely within the Capricorn zodiac sign
(ruled by Saturn), and its presiding deity is Lord Vishnu. Its professional
energies revolve around audio, preservation, organizational structures,
communication and strategy, teaching, training, coaching, media, journalism,
anchoring, podcasting, radio, and corporate roles (where meetings and
coordination are crucial).
o
Since Capricorn is associated with institutions,
people born under the Shravan Nakshatra typically prefer to work within a
system – such as an office, school, government department, NGO, temple trust,
or company. They prefer roles that involve the exchange of information – such
as team leader, project coordinator, administrator, or manager.
o
If the Shravan Nakshatra in the birth chart
links the second and eleventh houses, the primary benefits arise from networks
of people and institutions with whom the individual has long-standing ties—such
as former colleagues, seniors, or spiritual circles. Since the sense of hearing
sustains relationships, these connections eventually yield financial gains.
o
If it connects the second and eighth houses, a
significant financial turning point may arise through conversation, a meeting,
or advice—such as a consultation, a remark from a senior figure, or a spiritual
discourse that could transform how wealth and inheritance are managed.
o
Here, the cause-and-effect relationship is
clear: because the act of listening holds the power of the spoken word, the
right advice delivered at the right moment can alter the trajectory of the
karmic flow of wealth.
o
The combination of the Tritiya Tithi (third
lunar day), Shravan Nakshatra, and Friday creates 'Sarvarth Siddhi Yog,' one of
the most auspicious Yog in Vedic astrology. This alignment fulfills all the
conditions required for the formation of this specific Yog.
o
"Sarvarth Siddhi" translates to
"the fulfilment of all desires." It is a powerful and highly
auspicious time; any positive endeavour initiated during this period has a very
high probability of success.
o
The occurrence of the Tritiya Tithi during the Krishan
Paksh of the Aashadh month makes this day especially significant, infusing it
with energies of victory (Jaya) and family well-being.
Yog –
Vishkumbh Yog –
o
This is the first of the 27 Nitya Yog in Vedic
astrology; due to its symbolism, it is often referred to as the 'Pot of
Poison.'
o
It symbolizes the initial obstacles in life;
however, while challenging at the start, it ultimately fosters inner strength,
great success, and, above all, financial stability.
o
It is ruled by the planet Saturn and Yama—the
deity of death and justice—and is considered inauspicious (especially during
its initial three ghatis). It is one of seven other inauspicious Yog (though
not as severe as Vyatipat or Vaidhriti). Consequently, it acts as a cosmic
filter.
o
Since both its ruling planet and presiding deity
are associated with discipline, this Yog instills discipline in an individual;
while it may sometimes feel burdensome, it also imparts immense endurance.
o
The "Pot of Poison" signifies that the
individual will initially face difficulties, delays, or opposition. However,
much like the mythological Samudra Manthan (Churning of the Ocean), confronting
these challenges leads to the attainment of Amrit (success and wisdom).
o
The ancient text Phaladeepika considers this
auspicious, stating that the individual will eventually amass wealth and attain
a respectable position in society.
o
This Yog often makes a person intelligent,
articulate, and capable of influencing others.
o
Due to its association with Yama, it can foster
a deep interest in spirituality, lead to a sense of detachment from worldly
comforts, and instill profound respect for religious principles.
o
This Yog is considered auspicious for a happy
family life. Moreover, such a person can easily influence others through their
personality and enjoys a wide social circle.
o
Those born under the Vishkumbh Yog (influenced
by Saturn) and with Saturn in the 10th house of their horoscope achieve great
career success through discipline and perseverance. While their professional
journey may be somewhat delayed initially, their hard work ultimately leads to
lasting authority, public respect, and financial security.
o
These individuals excel in fields that value
systematic work, patience, and long-term planning. Common professional areas
for them include law and the judiciary, government and administrative services,
management, and teaching.
o
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was born in Vishkumbh
Yog and Saturn is placed in the tenth house of Leo.
o
On Friday, the convergence of the Tritiya Tithi
(third day) of the Aashadh Krishan Paksh, the Shravan Nakshatra, and the Vishkumbh
Yog creates a highly spiritual and stable energy. This combination is excellent
for focused work, acquiring new knowledge, and laying a strong foundation.
Although Vishkumbh Yog may bring initial obstacles, the steadfast determination
associated with Shravan Nakshatra and the auspicious influence of Tritiya Tithi
on a Friday ultimately lead to success and prosperity.
o
During this astronomical phase, the spiritual
benefits of worshipping Lord Vishnu (for wisdom) and Goddess Lakshmi or Gauri
(for prosperity) are multiplied manifold.
o
To mitigate any negative effects, medicines can
be donated to the needy.
o
Worship Mahadev and chant His auspicious
mantra—the Maha Mrityunjay Mantra; these are the best remedies.
Karan
o
Vishti Karan – Also known as Bhadra Karan.
Therefore, it is considered one of the most inauspicious periods. It is
associated with delays, obstacles, and misfortune.
o
To learn more about Vishti Karan, please see my
previous post (June 29, 2026), which explains it in detail.
o
The convergence of these elements (mentioned
above) on Friday creates a day characterized by a blend of spiritual energies.
While the auspiciousness of the Nakshatra and Tithi fosters growth and
creativity, the specific phase of the day also brings challenges; therefore,
patience is required for undertaking new or major tasks.
o
On Friday, the planet Venus and the Shravan
Nakshatra foster creativity, intelligence, and prosperity; however, the
combination of Vishti Karan and Krishan Paksh Tritiya suggests that the day is
better suited for introspection, routine tasks, and spiritual activities rather
than initiating new ventures.
o
To boost productivity and mitigate the
disruptive energies associated with Vishti Karan and Vishkumbh Yog this Friday,
one should focus on internal work and organizing daily tasks.
o
Complete pending paperwork, clear your inbox,
and organize your workspace.
o
There may be slight delays due to Vishkumbh Yog.
Build some extra time into your schedule to avoid frustration.
o
There may be a tendency to get into arguments
due to Vishti Karan. Make a conscious effort to remain silent or postpone
difficult conversations until the next day.
o
Reserve the challenging parts of the day for
simple, repetitive backend tasks where a delay would not adversely affect your
goals.
o
Before commencing work, worship Lord Ganesha—the
remover of obstacles—to neutralize the impact of Vishti Karan.
