Tripushkar Yoga is a highly auspicious, rare, and powerful Muhurat (favorable time) in Vedic Astrology formed by a specific combination of a weekday, lunar day (Tithi), and constellation (Nakshatra). The core concept is that any activity—positive or negative—performed during this time will be repeated three times.
Tripushkar Nakshatras
The Nakshatras that trigger this yoga are often called Tripada (three-footed) Nakshatras, referring to those with three parts in one sign and one part in another. The specific Nakshatras associated with Tripushkar Yoga are:
- Krittika
- Punarvasu
- Purva Phalguni
- Purva Bhadrapada
- Uttara Ashadha
- Vishakha
(Sometimes listed as Purva Phalguni, Uttarashada, Purvabhadrapada, Krittika, Punarvasu, and Vishakha depending on specific astrological schools).
How Tripushkar Yoga is Formed
It is formed when any of the above Nakshatras coincide with the following combination:
Tithi (Lunar Day): Dwitiya (2nd), Saptami (7th), or Dwadashi (12th).
Vaar (Weekday): Sunday, Tuesday, or Saturday.
Key Aspects & Effects
Repetition Principle: If you buy gold, land, or a vehicle during this time, you are expected to buy two more in the future (totaling three).
Auspicious Actions: Excellent for investments, purchasing property, gold, jewelry, or starting long-term projects.
Caution: Because it triples results, it is generally advised to avoid using this time for bad, malefic, or undesirable actions, such as taking loans, engaging in disputes, or starting medical treatments.
Timing: Often occurs at night, which can make it tricky for some transactions.
