Find Jwalamukhi yoga dates by year

Computing dates for the selected year...
How the explorer computes dates: every day is evaluated with our classical Panchang engine. Windows separated by 3 hours or less are merged into one run, and runs shorter than 5 minutes are dropped as ephemeris noise. Each run is dated by the IST date its window starts on. Dates and times computed for Ujjain (IST), the classical panchang reference. Near midnight run-starts, published panchangs can list a neighboring date.

What is Jwalamukhi yoga?

Jwalamukhi is an inauspicious muhurta yoga. It forms from five tithi and nakshatra pairs: Pratipada with Mula, Panchami with Bharani, Ashtami with Krittika, Navami with Rohini, and Dashami with Ashlesha. Tradition warns that anything begun in Jwalamukhi yoga, from weddings to new business, struggles to succeed, so no new beginning is kept in it.

Pratipada + MulaPanchami + BharaniAshtami + KrittikaNavami + RohiniDashami + Ashlesha

Unlike the pushkara yogas, Jwalamukhi does not depend on the weekday, only on the tithi and nakshatra pair overlapping in the Panchang day.

What to avoid in Jwalamukhi yoga

  • No weddings or engagements
  • No new business launches
  • No property or vehicle purchases
  • No housewarming or travel beginnings

Routine daily work is fine. The caution is only about important new beginnings. If a date is unavoidable, consult an astrologer for the best possible window within the day.
