The special yog formed by the combination of constellations is called Panchak. When the Moon remains in Aquarius and Pisces, then that time is called Panchak. In astrology, Panchak is not considered an auspicious constellation. It is considered to be a combination of inauspicious and harmful constellations.
According to astrology, the combination of five constellations is called Panchak. These five constellations are Ghanishtha, Shatabhisha, Purvabhadrapada, Uttarabhadrapada and Revati. The ruling planet of Panchak is Aquarius and the zodiac sign is Pisces. These five constellations are also counted in the Panchak that comes every month.
Rules of Panchak: During the Panchak period, five specific activities are primarily prohibited-traveling in the southern direction; constructing a house roof; weaving or purchasing a cot or bed; collecting straw or firewood; and performing cremation (without specific remedial rituals).
Religious Rituals and Immersion: The Panchak period does not hinder any religious rituals, worship, Havan, or the immersion of deity idols. Lord Ganesha is the Vighnaharta (Remover of Obstacles) Himself; therefore, the Panchak period has no negative impact on His immersion.
