Amrit Siddhi Yoga

Amrit Siddhi Yoga is an auspicious combination yoga — it forms when a specific weekday coincides with a specific nakshatra. It is not one of the panchang's 27 nitya yogas. From "Amrit" (nectar/immortality) and "Siddhi" (success/accomplishment), it's read as "the yoga that grants long-lasting success." It occurs roughly 24 times a year (2026, Mumbai reference).

Three distinct concepts can be confused here — the difference, made explicit: 1. Amrit Siddhi Yoga (this page) — an auspicious muhurat-yoga formed by a weekday+nakshatra combination. 2. Amrit Muhurat / Amritkaal — one of the auspicious time-slots within the choghadiya system (the daily panchang shows "Amrit Muhurat from X to Y in the morning") — a completely different concept, sharing only the word "Amrit." 3. Siddhi (#16 of the panchang's 27 nitya yogas, meaning "success") — a daily yoga determined by Sun-Moon longitude; shares a name with Amrit Siddhi Yoga but the calculation method is entirely different.

Significance

In muhurta-shastra, even when no special planetary calculation is available for an important daily task (contracts, exam applications, buying property/valuables, travel), Amrit Siddhi Yoga is regarded as a reliable, frequently-recurring auspicious option. Behind the name "Amrit" is the idea that work begun during this yoga bears long-lasting, stable, auspicious fruit — the notion of "immortal" success rather than merely immediate success.

All seven Amrit Siddhi pairs appear in one popular Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga table (the broader, multi-nakshatra rule), so Amrit Siddhi can be described as a narrower, more selective subset. But this holds true only relative to that one table family, not universally — see the detailed section below.

The weekday-nakshatra rule (how to recognize it)

This weekday-nakshatra table appears consistently the same across different panchang sources.

In other words, when the matching nakshatra above prevails at sunrise (or during the day) on its corresponding weekday, Amrit Siddhi Yoga forms.

Difference from Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga

Both are weekday+nakshatra combination yogas, distinct from the panchang's 27 nitya yogas. The main difference is scope — Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga allows several nakshatras per weekday, while Amrit Siddhi Yoga allows only one fixed nakshatra per weekday. This makes Amrit Siddhi occur roughly 24 times a year, while Sarvartha Siddhi occurs 8-12 times a month (100+ a year).

Checking all seven Amrit Siddhi pairs against one popular Sarvartha Siddhi table (a table family shared by several popular panchang websites), each pair is found within that weekday's list — meaning, relative to that one table family, Amrit Siddhi is an exact subset of Sarvartha Siddhi. But this isn't universally true — running the same check against Sarvartha Siddhi's other, disputed tables breaks the subset relationship. So this relationship holds only "according to one popular table" — not as a universal rule.

Relationship to Guru Pushya Yoga

The Thursday+Pushya pair is one of the seven Amrit Siddhi pairs above — and this same pair is independently famous in its own right as Guru Pushya Yoga. All three 2026 Guru Pushya dates (23 April, 21 May, 18 June) also appear on the 2026 Amrit Siddhi list — meaning every Guru Pushya occurrence is simultaneously a form of Amrit Siddhi Yoga too.

This doesn't mean the two are "the same yoga" — Guru Pushya has its own, more widely known name and its own page. The accurate way to put it: every Guru Pushya is also a form of Amrit Siddhi, nothing more.

Avoid confusing this with Ravi Pushya Yoga — Ravi Pushya means Sunday+Pushya, but Amrit Siddhi's Sunday pair is Hasta, not Pushya. So Ravi Pushya is not a form of Amrit Siddhi Yoga — it's only a sibling yoga within the same "auspicious combination yoga" family.

Who should use this

This isn't a vrat/festival — any reader choosing a day/time for an auspicious task can use this, especially those planning contracts, exam applications, valuable purchases, or travel.

Auspicious activities (what to do)

Traditionally favorable for (not a firm guarantee of results):

• Contracts/signing documents, important applications, legal paperwork, election nominations.
• Buying valuables/property, investments, starting a new business/venture.
• Exam preparation/starting studies, travel including abroad, puja rituals/spiritual practice.

What to avoid

• On a Tuesday, even during this yoga, griha pravesh/vastu shanti/foundation ceremonies are said to be avoided.
• On a Thursday, even during this yoga, fixing a marriage muhurat is said to be avoided.
• On a Saturday, even during this yoga, southward travel is said to be avoided.
• Rahukaal/Gulik kaal/Yamaganda windows should also be avoided during this yoga.

These are traditional, general guidance — not a firm directive.

Good to know

• The weekday-nakshatra rule is fixed, but the exact day/time should always be checked on that day's today's panchang — the nakshatra can change during the day.
• This yoga isn't the sole criterion for auspiciousness — a muhurat is decided by looking at other panchang elements too (tithi, karan) together.
• Don't confuse this with Amrit Muhurat (choghadiya) — the daily panchang's "Amrit Muhurat" is a different, daily-choghadiya-based concept.

Date (occurrences)

Amrit Siddhi Yoga genuinely occurs roughly 24 times a year — but the panchang's day-by-day nakshatra field shows only the sunrise-prevailing nakshatra, while this yoga is based on a precise hour/minute window. So two methods are given below.

Self-check method

1. Check today's weekday and sunrise nakshatra (today's panchang or the day page).
2. Match it against the 7-pair table above.
3. Even if it matches, the yoga won't necessarily last the whole day (and even if it doesn't match, the yoga may still begin later that day) — the nakshatra changes during the day; check a direct panchang tool for the exact hour/minute window.

Full 2026 list (Mumbai reference)

This yoga occurs 24 times in 2026. Of these, 14 dates (✅) have the sunrise nakshatra itself matching the target nakshatra; the remaining 10 dates (❌) have the target nakshatra beginning after sunrise, so these are taken from one panchang source's published schedule. Both groups of dates are real.

The dates/times above are Mumbai-referenced — exact minute-level timings can vary slightly by city. For firm hour/minute figures for a specific city, check that day's panchang page.

FAQ

What is Amrit Siddhi Yoga?

An extremely auspicious combination yoga formed when a specific weekday matches a specific nakshatra — distinct from the panchang's 27 nitya yogas. Means "the yoga granting long-lasting success."

How does Amrit Siddhi Yoga form?

When one of 7 fixed pairs matches: Sun-Hasta, Mon-Mrigashirsha, Tue-Ashwini, Wed-Anuradha, Thu-Pushya, Fri-Revati, Sat-Rohini.

What's the difference between Amrit Siddhi Yoga and Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga?

Both are weekday+nakshatra combination yogas; Sarvartha Siddhi allows several nakshatras per weekday, Amrit Siddhi allows only one fixed nakshatra — making Amrit Siddhi rarer (~24/year) and, per one popular table, a subset of Sarvartha Siddhi.

Are Amrit Siddhi Yoga and Guru Pushya Yoga the same?

Not the same, but the Thursday+Pushya pair is shared by both — so every Guru Pushya Yoga is automatically also a form of Amrit Siddhi Yoga.

What activities should be done during Amrit Siddhi Yoga?

Contracts/signing, buying valuables, investments, starting a new business, exams/starting studies, travel, puja rituals.

What activities should be avoided during Amrit Siddhi Yoga?

Griha pravesh on Tuesday, marriage muhurat on Thursday, southward travel on Saturday; also Rahukaal/Gulik/Yamaganda — but these come from limited sources, presented as general guidance.

When does Amrit Siddhi Yoga fall in 2026?

Roughly 24 times through the year (Mumbai reference); see the exact dates in the "Date" section above and that day's panchang.

Are Amrit Siddhi Yoga and Amrit Muhurat the same?

No. Amrit Muhurat (Amritkaal) is an auspicious time-slot within the daily choghadiya system; Amrit Siddhi Yoga is a different, weekday+nakshatra-based yoga occurring only ~24 times a year.
