Special Yogas
Special Yogas are formed by specific combinations of Vaara (weekday), Tithi and Nakshatra. Some are favoured and some are withheld — both groups are listed below. Each is computed with its own exact dates and timings for your location; pick one to see this year's occurrences.
Auspicious Special Yogas
Tithi (2nd/7th/12th) + Vaara (Sun/Tue/Sat) + Nakshatra combination — triples the result of any act performed.
Tithi (2nd/7th/12th) + Vaara (Sun/Tue/Sat) + Nakshatra combination — doubles the result of any act performed.
Vaara-Nakshatra combination considered highly favourable for starting new ventures and agreements.
A stronger Vaara-Nakshatra combination within Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga — one of the most potent auspicious yogas.

Tithi-Nakshatra-Vaara combination — a specific Tithi and Nakshatra pairing per weekday, favourable for beginning new undertakings.
A rarer Tithi-Nakshatra-Vaara combination, considered purifying and auspicious.
Vaara-Tithi combination (Tithi only, no Nakshatra) — a different table from the Tithi-Nakshatra-Vaara Siddha Yoga above.
Vaara-Tithi combination considered favourable — a specific Tithi per weekday.
Vaara-Tithi combination considered favourable — a specific Tithi per weekday. Distinct from Amrit Siddhi Yoga above.
Inauspicious Special Yogas (periods to avoid)
These are Special Yogas too, but ones the classical Muhurat tables mark as periods to avoid. Like the auspicious group above, each is computed with exact dates and timings for your location.
Vaara-Tithi combination traditionally avoided for new beginnings — associated with loss or undoing of effort.
Vaara-Tithi combination named for the primordial poison — traditionally avoided for auspicious undertakings.
Vaara-Tithi combination classically flagged as inauspicious, particularly for travel and new ventures.
Vaara-Tithi combination treated as an inauspicious window, akin to a secondary Rahu Kaal.
Vaara-Tithi combination traditionally avoided — the name refers to dissolution and to a piercing obstruction.
Vaara-Tithi combination considered harsh, named for a saw — avoided for beginnings that need to endure.
"Burnt" Vaara-Tithi combination — traditionally avoided for anything intended to last.
"Poison" Vaara-Tithi combination — classically avoided for auspicious acts and for beginning journeys.
Vaara-Tithi combination named for fire — traditionally avoided for new undertakings.
General inauspicious Vaara-Tithi combination, avoided when a Muhurat is being chosen.
Vaara-Tithi combination classically counted among the avoidable windows.
Vaara-Tithi combination noted in the classical tables among the periods to avoid.
The 27 Nitya Yogas (Panchang Yogas)
These are the "Yoga" limb of the Panchang — the Sun's and Moon's sidereal longitudes added together and divided into 27 arcs of 13°20', each running about 21–25 hours. They are a different system from the Special Yogas above, which are Vaara/Tithi/Nakshatra combinations. Nine of the 27 are traditionally held back from important beginnings. Each is computed with its own exact dates and timings for your location; pick one to see this year's occurrences.
