TITHI SHOONYA DOSHA
At times, while giving predictions, we come across situations that
horoscope seems strong, planets and their navamsha seems
beneficiary, dasha, antardasha and gochar are also favorable but
reality shows a very contrast picture. One reason for such a case is
‘Tithi Shoonya’. This principle finds its origin in ‘Drik Ganit Panchanga’
of South India.
A Panchanga, ‘Five-Limbed’, is a local mini-Ephemeris, describes five
time-related measurements, viz., Tithi, Karan, Vaar, Nakshatra and
Yoga. The effects of birth on the various Tithis on Jataka are different
and have been described in our Jyotish Shastras.
A tithi or lunar date is defined as the duration of time taken to change
the distance between the longitude of Sun and the longitude of Moon
by 12 or a multiple thereof. This distance is 0 on Amavasya when
both of them rise on the Eastern horizon at the same time. Thereafter,
the angular distance increases daily by about 12 till it becomes 180
on a Purnima or a full moon day and then reduces progressively by
about 12 to become 0 at the next Amavasya. This cycle continues.
The 15 increments (each of 12 ) required to cover the angular
difference of 180 between an Amavasya and the next Purnima, make
up 15 tithis, viz., Pratipada, Dwitiya, Tritiya, Chaturthee, Panchami,
Shashthi, Saptami, Ashtami, Navmi, Dashmi, Ekadashi, Dwadashi,
Trayodashi, Chaturdashi, and Purnima.
Literal meaning of Shoonya is null or zero and null or zero does not
have any effect. According to Tithi Shoonya principle, each tithi zeroes
two rashis and their lords or in other words, each tithi makes effects of
two rashis and their lords ineffective. However, tithi Charudasi zeros
four rashis and tithi Amavasya and Purnima zeros none. The table
below summarizes tithi and the rashis it zeros:
Interpretations of Shoonya Tithis:
1. Lords of Shoonya Rashis gives bad effects even though they
are benefic planets.

2. Planets situated in Shoonya Rashis become malefic even
though they are benefic planets.
3. Malefics situated in Shoonya Rashis produces benefic results
in their dasha.
4. Lords of Shoonya Rashis produces malefic results when they
transit over benefic planets and bhavas.
5. Shoonya planets (if not retrograde) produces benefic results
when they transit over 3rd, 6th, 8th & 12th house
Note: Readers may please note that the above is applicable for both
Shukla and Krishna paksha.
Exceptions to Tithi Shoonya Dosha:
1. Lord of Tithi Shoonya rashi becomes benefic if placed in
3/6/8/12 from ascendant or moon or is retrograde or is in
conjunction with natural malefic planet.
2. Rahu or Ketu when situated in Tithi Shoonya rashi gives good
result of that bhava.
3. Lord of Tithi Shoonya rashi becomes benefic if placed in
Nakshatra of Rahu or Ketu.
Results of Tithi Shoonya Planets:
1. Sun: Destroys health of the person indicated by the bhava in
which it is situated, e.g., if situated in 3rd, will affect health of
younger brothers & sisters or if in 4th, health of mother will be
affected. If Sun is forming Yoga, effects of that Yoga will be
zeroed. Loss of esteem can also be predicted.
2. Moon: Native will have unpleasant relation with his mother and
he will be unhealthy.
3. Mars: Native will be lazy, devoid of younger brothers & sisters
or will have unpleasant relationships with them.
4. Mercury: Hindrances in education and loss in business may be
predicted.
5. Jupiter: Native will be a non-believer in religion. Loss of
wealth, loss of esteem and troubles from children may also be
predicted.
6. Venus: Results in opposition from spouse and polygamy.
7. Saturn: Native will be diseased and his decisions will cause
losses to himself.
Case Study:
1. Tithi Shoonya Dosha not getting nullified
DOB: 26-01-1976 Tithi: Dashmi
Birth Chart:
Birth tithi of this native is Dashmi and it is zeroing Leo & Scorpio
rashis and 8th and 11th bhavas. Lord of 11th house is situated in
Pancham Trikona, which is a very auspicious house and generally
indicates “gains without pains”. If tithi Shoonya principle is not
accounted for, one may predict that native will have sound financial
health. But a reality in this case is absolutely contrast. Native is

struggling for his financial stability. This has happened due to the
fact that Labha bhava and its lord Mars is Shoonya, hence is
unable to provide benefic results.
I have mentioned above the effects of Sun being Shoonya. Since,
in this case, Sun is situated in Ascendant, native is suffering
physically also and his health is not sound. (Owing to native’s
privacy concerns, I am refraining from writing details on his health)
2. Tithi Shoonya Dosha getting nullified
DOB: 22-11-1975 Tithi: Chaturthi
Birth Chart:
Tithi Chaturthi is zeroing Taurus and Aquarius rashis. But lord of
Taurus, that is, Venus, is in 6th from ascendant ad lord of Aquarius,
that is, Saturn, is retrograde. Hence, tithi Shoonya dosha is getting
nullified and native is getting fruits of both houses. Financial position of
native is sound.
I have found this principle very accurate in many cases. Readers may
also verify this at their end and account for this principle while
analyzing any horoscope.
