What is Janma Yoga?

Your Janma Yoga is the Nitya Yoga that was running at the exact moment of your birth. The yoga is the third of the five limbs of the Panchang: the sidereal longitudes of the Sun and the Moon are added together, and the resulting arc is divided into 27 equal parts of 13°20′ each. The part holding the combined longitude is the day's yoga — starting with Vishkambha and ending with Vaidhriti.

Because the yoga blends the Sun (soul, vitality) and the Moon (mind, emotions), the birth yoga is read as the basic temperament that colours the whole personality. Classical texts give each of the 27 yogas a presiding deity, an auspicious or inauspicious character, and a short "born in this yoga" result — for example, Siddhi Yoga favours accomplishment, while births in Vyatipata or Vaidhriti are traditionally answered with simple remedial prayers rather than worry.

What this calculator shows

  • Your birth yoga (out of 27) with its meaning and presiding deity
  • Whether the yoga is classically auspicious or inauspicious
  • How far the yoga had progressed when you were born
  • Sun and Moon positions, Moon sign, and Nakshatra at birth
  • The full Panchang of the birth moment

For an accurate result, enter your exact time of birth and select your birth city from the dropdown so the coordinates and timezone are correct. An inauspicious birth yoga is not a verdict — it marks a temperament with extra grit; consult a qualified astrologer to read it alongside the full chart.

Frequently asked questions about Janma Yoga

What is Janma Yoga?

It is the Nitya Yoga running at your exact birth moment — one of the 27 yogas formed by adding the sidereal longitudes of the Sun and Moon. It reflects the basic temperament that colours the personality.

Is an inauspicious birth yoga a problem?

Not a verdict. Yogas such as Vyatipata or Vaidhriti are traditionally answered with simple remedial prayers, not worry. An inauspicious yoga marks a temperament with extra grit and is read alongside the full chart.

Do I need my exact birth time to find my Janma Yoga?

Yes. The Moon moves quickly, so the combined Sun–Moon longitude — and hence the yoga — changes through the day. Enter your exact time of birth and pick your city so the coordinates and timezone are correct.
