Understanding Yoga & Karana
Yoga is the combined angular relationship of the Sun and Moon, calculated by adding their longitudes and dividing by 13°20' (Surya Siddhanta). There are 27 Yogas in a lunar month, each lasting roughly one day. Some Yogas like Siddhi and Shubha are auspicious for new activities, while Vyaghata and Vajra are considered inauspicious.
Karana is half of a Tithi — each Tithi has two Karanas, yielding 60 Karanas per lunar month. Of the 11 Karana types, 7 are Chara (movable) and rotate through the month, while 4 are Sthira (fixed) and appear only once. Karana is primarily used for determining the suitability of specific tasks like agriculture, trade, and travel.
