Ravi Pushya Yoga

Ravi Pushya Yoga (also called Ravi Pushya Nakshatra Yoga) forms when a Sunday (Ravi = Sun) coincides with the Moon in Pushya nakshatra. Pushya (Sanskrit: पुष्य, "nourisher") is considered the most benevolent nakshatra in Vedic astrology — its lord Saturn provides discipline while its deity Brihaspati (Jupiter) bestows wisdom and abundance. Combined with the Sun's day, it creates an extremely auspicious window for new beginnings.

Pushya is called the "star of nourishment" and is unique among the 27 nakshatras. Classical texts describe it as the most auspicious nakshatra for beginning any constructive endeavor. Its guna is Sattva (purity), its nature is Laghu (light) and Kshipra (swift), making it ideal for quick, positive action. When this meets the Sun's vitality, the combination amplifies both energies.

• Buying gold and precious metals
• Starting medical treatments or health regimens
• Beginning new ventures or projects
• Performing religious ceremonies
• Initiating education or learning
• Entering a new home (Griha Pravesh)
• Buying vehicles
• Planting seeds (literally and figuratively)

Ravi Pushya Yoga occurs roughly once per month — whenever a Sunday falls during the Moon's transit through Pushya nakshatra. The Moon spends approximately 1 day in each nakshatra, so the alignment of Sunday specifically with Pushya happens about 12-13 times per year. However, partial overlaps (Pushya ending early Sunday morning) may reduce effective occurrences.
