Today's Yoga
The current yoga — the sum of the Sun's and Moon's positions in 27 parts — with when it began and ends for your city, and the yogas coming next.
Calculating…
Times are for the place above, in its local time zone, calculated from the positions of the Sun and Moon (sidereal, Lahiri ayanamsa) — usually within a minute or two of a printed Panchang for the same city.
Today, sunrise to sunrise
Every yoga that touches today's Panchang day, with the exact moments it begins and ends.
Coming up
The next yogas, with start and end times for your place.
Calculated from the combined sidereal longitude of the Sun and Moon at this instant — see our full Yoga reference for all 27.

What Yoga measures — and what it doesn't
In the Panchanga, "Yoga" has nothing to do with physical postures or meditation — it's the third of the five daily elements, alongside Tithi, Vara, Nakshatra and Karana. It's calculated by adding the Sun's sidereal longitude to the Moon's sidereal longitude, then dividing that combined value into segments of 13°20' — the same span used for a Nakshatra, but here measuring the Sun and Moon's motion together rather than the Moon alone. There are 27 named Yogas in the cycle, some considered more favourable than others for beginning important undertakings.

How the yoga is calculated
Add the Moon's sidereal longitude to the Sun's, divide the circle into 27 parts of 13°20′, and you have the yoga. Because the Sun and Moon are both moving eastward, their sum runs about 13° a day faster than the Sun alone, so a yoga lasts roughly a day — between about 20 and 27 hours, like a nakshatra.
The nine yogas traditionally treated with caution
Most Panchangs flag nine of the 27 as unsuitable for starting important work. Their names tell you why:
Vyatipata and Vaidhriti are considered the most serious. Some traditions avoid only part of a difficult yoga — the first few ghatis — rather than the whole of it.
Not the same "yoga" as Siddha Yoga or Amrit Siddhi
Panchangs also list combinations such as Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga, Amrit Siddhi Yoga and Ravi Pushya Yoga. These are a different thing altogether: special pairings of a weekday with a nakshatra (Sunday with Pushya, for example), not one of the 27 Sun-plus-Moon yogas shown on this page. And neither is related to yoga as a spiritual discipline — the shared word simply means "joining", here the joining of the two luminaries' longitudes.
Frequently asked questions
What is Yoga in the Panchanga?
The third of the five Panchanga elements — a period defined by the combined sidereal longitudes of the Sun and Moon, divided into 27 segments of 13°20' each. Unrelated to the physical/meditative practice of the same name.
How is Yoga calculated?
By adding the Sun's sidereal longitude to the Moon's, then dividing by 13°20' (the same span as a Nakshatra). The remainder determines which of the 27 named Yogas is current.
How many Yogas are there?
27 — the same count as Nakshatras, since both divide a 360° range into 13°20' segments, though Yoga measures combined Sun+Moon motion, not the Moon alone.
Are some Yogas considered inauspicious?
Yes — Vyatipata and Vaidhriti are traditionally considered inauspicious, and many Muhurta calculations specifically avoid scheduling major events during them.
