Akshay Tritiya Astrological Significance
Akshay Tritya occurs once a year when the Sun and Moon are in exaltation, as well as being at their brightest point during the day.
The three lunar periods are considered particularly auspicious in Vedic Astrology and are also known as Sade Teen Muhurat’. Sade means half and Teen means three, so Sade Teen Muhurat refers to a three-and-a-half Muhurat.
- They are the first lunar period of Shukla Paksha(bright fortnight) of the Chaitra month,
- The tenth phase of Ashvin month is taken as the second lunar period.
- The first phase of Shukla Paksha of the Kartik month
- The third phase of the month Vaishakh is taken as the third lunar period.
Here, the first three phases are considered as the full phase of the lunar month, and the other two are considered halves.
