Panchak in Astrology

In astrology, the meeting of five constellations is called Panchak. The constellations that makeup Pachak are Dhanishta, Satbhisha, Purva Bhadrapada, Uttara Bhadrapada and Revati. These constellations, incidentally, come from the Panchak Nakshatra. The moon lasts two and a half days in each Rashi or horoscope. So the moon lasts for five days in two horoscopes or Rashis.  During these five days, the moon passes through Dhanishta, Satbhisha, Purva Bhadrapada, Uttara Bhadrapada and Revati and is why these five days are called Panchak.

When the moon enjoys all the constellations in 27 days, the chakra of the Panchak Nakshatra is formed at intervals of about 27 days each month.

According to astrology, when the moon lies in Aquarius and Pisces horoscope, then that time is called the Panchak or Quintet. At the time of the Panchak, it is not a good time to do anything auspicious, although there are some tasks that are not prohibited. This nakshatra is considered inauspicious. It is considered to be the total of the unlucky constellations, so it is harmful to do any auspicious work at the time of the Panchak. It is believed that if there is work done in the Panchak period, it will be repeated five times. Therefore, any actions done at this time give harmful results. Holy and auspicious works like Marriages, Mundan are prohibited at the time of quintet. The Panchak time or yoga has an impact on human beings. Every year it has different combinations. For this reason, the calculation of Panchak in astrology is very essential.

Panchak Yoga or Panchak Kaal comes for five days every month according to the Hindu calendar. During this period, the moon stays from Aquarius to Pisces for about 5 days. This period is known as the Dhanishta Panchak. According to the religious beliefs the Dhanistha Panchak is considered to be ominous and the work done at this time will not finish at one time. Therefore, the date and time of the Panchak period are calculated every year.
