Vriddhi yoga is the eleventh of the twenty-seven nitya yogas, running while the sidereal Sun and Moon together total 133 degrees 20 minutes to 146 degrees 40 minutes. What a Vriddhi birth means, the meaning of growth, why it is not the same as a vriddhi tithi, with a table of how often tithis, nakshatras and yogas are skipped or repeated in sunrise calendars, what the texts promise the native, Surya as deity, Mercury as yogi planet, Mars as both duplicate yogi and avayogi, where growth actually shows in a chart, what KP makes of it, and two births from practice.

Dhruva yoga is the twelfth of the twenty-seven nitya yogas, running while the sidereal Sun and Moon together total 146 degrees 40 minutes to 160 degrees. What a Dhruva birth means, the meaning of fixity, the story of Dhruva and the Pole Star, a table of the four things called dhruva in the tradition, what the texts say about the native, Bhumi as deity, Ketu as yogi planet with Jupiter beside it, Rahu as avayogi, Dhruva in muhurta, what KP makes of it, and two births from practice.

Vyaghata yoga is the thirteenth of the twenty-seven nitya yogas, running while the sidereal Sun and Moon together total 160 degrees to 173 degrees 20 minutes, and one of the nine cautionary yogas. What a Vyaghata birth means, the blow or hindrance in its name, what the texts say about the native, Vayu the wind as deity, Venus as yogi planet, Jupiter as both duplicate yogi and avayogi, a table of three different reckonings of its muhurta caution and how many births each touches, what KP makes of it, and two births from practice.

Harshana yoga is the fourteenth of the twenty-seven nitya yogas, running while the sidereal Sun and Moon together total 173 degrees 20 minutes to 186 degrees 40 minutes, the stretch that straddles the midpoint of the cycle. What a Harshana birth means, the meaning of delight, what the texts expect of the native, Bhaga as deity, the Sun as yogi planet, why Jupiter or Saturn is the duplicate yogi and Saturn the avayogi, a table showing how few births actually fall inside a muhurta caution, what KP makes of it, and two births from practice.
