Panchak November 2023: The five-day Dosha period known as Panchak Yoga occurs when the moon is in the final two signs of the zodiac, Aquarius and Pisces. It is an extremely inauspicious time. Panchak simply means “a group of five”. According to Vedic astrology, five constellations, or Nakshatras, come together to form Panchak, also known as Panchak Nakshatras. They are Revati Nakshatra, Uttara Bhadrapada, Shatbhisha, Poorva Bhadrapada, and Dhanishtha. When the Moon enters Aquarius and Dhanishta enters its third phase, Panchak Yoga begins. The moon then moves through Shatbhisha, Purva Bhadrapada, Uttara Bhadrapada, and Revati, in that order. The moon travels through these Nakshatras for a duration of 5 days. After a break of 27 days, Panchak Yog repeats itself. Hindus believe that any good deed performed during Panchak Kaal is repeated five unfavourable times.
