These should trigger caution before choosing a muhurta, especially for auspicious beginnings such as marriage, house entry, business launch, signing, purchase, travel, or spiritual initiations. Krakacha YogaLiteral sense: saw, cutting, grating.Practical reading: considered among the harshest Vāra–Tithi yogas. Avoid for major constructive beginnings. Dagdha YogaLiteral sense: burnt.Practical reading: the tithi is treated as scorched or weakened for auspicious work. Hutasana YogaLiteral sense: fire, oblation-eating fire.Practical reading: fiery, consuming, unsuitable for peaceful or growth-oriented starts. Visha YogaLiteral sense: poison.Practical reading: contaminating or toxic influence; avoid for benefic activities. Samvartaka YogaLiteral sense: dissolution, destruction.Practical reading: treated as one of the worst Vāra–Tithi yogas; appears only in two listed combinations here. When auspicious and inauspicious rules overlap Important: An Amrit or Siddha label is not an automatic green signal. Some tithis can simultaneously fall under an auspicious group-based yoga and a named inauspicious yoga.

Wednesday + DvitīyāSiddha YogDagdha + VishaDo not use blindly; examine the full muhurta. Wednesday + TṛtīyāAmrit YogDagdhaMixed result; avoid for high-stakes benefic work unless other factors are strong. Thursday + NavamīAmrit YogHutasanaRiktā gains Amrit support, but fire blemish remains to be judged. Friday + SaptamīAmrit YogKrakachaKrakacha is severe; treat as cautionary. Saturday + NavamīSiddha YogDagdhaMixed; requires full panchāṅga and lagna evaluation. Recommended rule of thumb Use Amrit and Siddha Yogas as supportive signals, not final approval. Use Dagdha, Visha, Hutasana, Krakacha, and Samvartaka as caution flags. The final muhurta should be decided only after checking purpose-specific suitability and the remaining panchāṅga limbs. Source notes and lineage The weekday–tithi yoga rules in this handbook are from the classical muhurta tradition as preserved in later manuals and modern compilations. This is Jyotiṣa/Muhūrta literature, not “Veda” in the strict Saṃhitā sense. Primary working source for the exact yoga tables: Ernst Wilhelm, Muhurta Yogas: Combinations of Vara, Tithi & Nakshatra. It lists the Siddha, Amrita, Krakacha, Dagdha, Hutasana, Visha, and Samvartaka Vāra–Tithi combinations. Tithi group framework: Ernst Wilhelm, Classical Muhurta, section on Nandā, Bhadrā, Jayā, Riktā, and Pūrṇā tithis. Classical tradition context: Muhūrta Cintāmaṇi and Kālaprakāśikā are part of the broader muhurta literature in which weekday, tithi, nakshatra, yoga, and karana combinations are examined for electional timing. Terminology note: The spellings “Tithi,” “Thithi,” “Vāra,” “Vaar,” “Amrit,” and “Amrita” are all commonly encountered in English-language Jyotiṣa material. This handbook uses Sanskrit-style transliteration in headings while keeping plain spellings searchable. Prepared as a compact reference handbook. For study use; not a substitute for full muhurta judgment.
