Question 1

What is Pushkara Navamsha?

Accepted Answer

Pushkara Navamsha is the most auspicious and powerful period of the day, often called the 'Golden Window.' According to astrological tradition, starting important tasks like signing contracts, buying/selling, planning travel, or beginning a puja during this time can neutralize minor planetary afflictions and ensure success.

Question 2

How to use the Pushkara Navamsha time given in the calendar?

Accepted Answer

For example, if the table shows:
Aries: 05:36 AM to 06:59 AM
Pushkara Navamsha: 06:27 AM, 06:48 AM
This means that within the duration of the Aries Lagna (starting at 05:36 AM), there are two highly auspicious windows at 06:27 AM and 06:48 AM. It is best to start your important task exactly at one of these two times (e.g., exactly at 06:27 AM).

Question 3

Do I need to finish the whole work within the given time?

Accepted Answer

No. A Navamsha period usually lasts for 10 to 13 minutes. You don't have to finish your entire task within this short window; you only need to initiate it (e.g., signing a contract, initiating a financial transaction, or performing the Sankalpa for a puja).

Question 4

How is Pushkara Navamsha calculated?

Accepted Answer

The calculation is based on the degrees of a zodiac sign. A sign consists of 30 degrees. When divided into 9 equal parts, each part is 3°20', which is called a 'Navamsha'. Out of the total 108 Navamshas in the zodiac, only 24 specific Navamshas falling at certain degrees are considered 'Pushkara' (highly auspicious).

Question 5

In which sign and at which degree does Pushkara Navamsha fall?

Accepted Answer

Pushkara Navamshas fall at the following degrees based on the zodiac sign's element:
• Fire Signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius): In the 7th and 9th Navamshas (when the Lagna reaches 20° and 26°40')
• Earth Signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn): In the 3rd and 5th Navamshas (when the Lagna reaches 6°40' and 13°20')
• Air Signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius): In the 6th and 8th Navamshas (when the Lagna reaches 16°40' and 23°20')
• Water Signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces): In the 1st and 3rd Navamshas (when the Lagna reaches 0° and 6°40')

When the rising sign (Lagna) throughout the day reaches these specific degree thresholds, it is recorded as a Pushkara Navamsha in our table.
