Dwipushkar (“double”) yoga is a panchang combination, not a birth-chart yoga: Dwitiya, Saptami or Dwadashi tithi on a Sunday, Tuesday or Saturday, with the Moon in Mrigashira, Chitra or Dhanishta nakshatra. Whatever is done in it is believed to repeat twice — good for buying and saving, bad for borrowing, selling or quarrels.
How the yoga forms
All three must hold at the same time:
| Condition | Dwipushkar (double) | Tripushkar (triple) |
|---|---|---|
| Tithi | Dwitiya, Saptami or Dwadashi (2nd, 7th, 12th — Bhadra tithis) | Same |
| Weekday | Sunday, Tuesday or Saturday | Same |
| Nakshatra | Mrigashira, Chitra or Dhanishta (nakshatras split 2 + 2 padas across two signs) | Nakshatras split 3 + 1 across two signs — Krittika, Punarvasu, Uttara Phalguni, Vishakha, Uttara Ashadha, Purva Bhadrapada (some panchangs use a shorter list) |
It has nothing to do with Pushkar navamsas in a birth chart.
What to do and avoid
- Whatever is done is believed to repeat two-fold (Dwipushkar) or three-fold (Tripushkar).
- Good for: buying gold, property or vehicles, investing, starting savings, charity, mantra japa.
- Avoid: borrowing, lending, selling assets, quarrels, risky speculation — losses are believed to repeat too.
- Traditionally avoided for last rites and anything connected with loss.
Finding the dates
Because three independent cycles must coincide, Dwipushkar yoga happens only a few times a year and often for a few hours. A panchang lists the exact window for your city; check that it does not fall in Rahu Kaal for the hour you choose. See also Tripushkar yoga.
