The thirteenth lunar day, governed by Kama, deity of love and desire. Favours arts, music, romance, and any activity that harnesses the force of creative longing.
Ruled by the Moon and governed by Savitar, the solar deity of skill. Bestows dexterity and craft — the capacity to bring into material form what the mind conceives.
The first yoga, bearing the weight of initial obstacles. Auspicious for strengthening foundations but requires patience — success comes through endurance rather than speed.
A movable karana associated with the elephant — steady, strong, and enduring. Favours work requiring patience and the capacity to carry heavy loads.
Friday — the day of Venus (Shukra). Favours the arts, beauty, pleasure, relationships, luxury, and all activities connected to love, aesthetics, and material enjoyment.
