About Choghadiya
Choghadiya or Chogadia is used for checking auspicious time to start new work. Traditionally Choghadiya is used for travel muhurthas but due to its simplicity, it is used for any muhurtha. There are four good Choghadiya, Amrit, Shubh, Labh and Char, to start an auspicious work. Three bad Choghadiya, Rog, Kaal and Udveg, should be avoided. The time between sunrise and sunset is called day Choghadiya and the time between sunset and next day sunrise is called night Choghadiya.
About Vaar Vela, Kaal Vela and Kaal Ratri
It is believed that no auspicious work should be done during Vaar Vela, Kaal Vela and Kaal Ratri. Vaar Vela and Kaal Vela prevail during daytime while Kaal Ratri prevails during night time. It is believed that all Manglik works done during these timings are not fruitful.
How to mark Choghadiya Good or Bad?
The first Muhurta on each weekday is ruled by the weekday lord. For example, on Sunday, the first Choghadiya Muhurta is ruled by the Sun followed by Venus, Mercury, Moon, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars respectively. The last Muhurta of the daytime is also ruled by the day lord.
Hence the effect of each division, either bad or good, is marked based on the nature of the ruling planet. In Vedic Astrology, the time period under the influence of Venus, Mercury, Moon and Jupiter is usually considered auspicious while the time period under the influence of Sun, Mars and Saturn is usually considered inauspicious. Based on the above information, we can mark each Choghadiya Muhurta as bad or good. It should be noted that bad Choghadiya can also be appropriate depending on the desired work which needs to be accomplished.
Important Auspicious Muhurat
In astrology, the influence of the Sun is generally considered inauspicious, hence it is marked as Udvega. However, government works can be done in this Choghadiya.
Venus is considered an auspicious and beneficial planet. Hence it is marked as variable or fickle. Due to the variable nature of Venus, Chara Choghadiya is considered best suited for travel purpose.
The planet Mercury is also an auspicious and beneficial planet, hence it is marked as benefic. If the work of education or learning of any discipline is started in Choghadiya of profit, then it is fruitful.
Moon is a very auspicious and beneficial planet. That is why it is marked as nectar. Amrit Choghadiya is considered good for all kinds of work.
Saturn is a malefic planet that is why it is marked as Kaal. No auspicious work should be done during Kaal Choghadiya. However, in some cases it can prove to be beneficial for activities done for earning money.
Jupiter is a very auspicious planet and it is considered a benefic planet. Hence it is marked as auspicious. Shubh Choghadiya is especially considered suitable for conducting marriage ceremonies.
Mars is a cruel and evil planet. That’s why it is marked as a disease. No auspicious work should be done during the disease Choghadiya. But Rog Choghadiya is recommended to defeat the Shutra in battle.
