🪔 Born with a Destiny of Depreciating Luck — Shunya Nakshatra, Shunya Tithi & Tithi Kshay in Vedic Astrology
🌘 The Meaning of a “Void Birth”
In Jyotish, Shunya means void or vacuum.
When a person is born in a Shunya Nakshatra or Shunya Tithi, destiny often feels like a leaking vessel—efforts yield results but the gain fades. Such births mark karmic completion, not punishment.
🌑 What Is Shunya Tithi (शून्य तिथि)?
A Shunya Tithi is a lunar day whose vibration fails to support creation.
Classically inauspicious Tithis are:
| Lunar Phase | Void (Shunya) Tithis |
|---|---|
| Shukla Paksha | 1st (Pratipada), 6th (Shashti) |
| Krishna Paksha | 4th (Chaturthi), 9th (Navami), 14th (Chaturdashi) |
Birth effects
- Fortune fluctuates or declines after initial success.
- Old karmic accounts dominate new beginnings.
- Emotional fatigue; repetitive life cycles.

🌒 What Is Tithi Kshay (तिथि क्षय)?
A Tithi Kshay month happens when a lunar date vanishes entirely due to the Moon’s variable motion.
Such births are rare (≈ once every 2–3 years).
Natives carry incomplete karmas; events in life appear reversed — gain then loss, fame then silence — until higher purpose awakens.
🌌 Shunya Nakshatra (शून्य नक्षत्र) Table
Each Ascendant has three Nakshatras ruled by planets hostile to the Lagna lord.
Planets or Moon placed here drain the native’s karmic reservoir.
| Lagna | Shunya Nakshatras | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Aries | Jyeshtha, Ashlesha, Revati | Speech & finance instability |
| Taurus | Moola, Ashwini, Magha | Abrupt detachment, sudden losses |
| Gemini | Dhanishta, Mrigashira, Chitra | Scattered focus, mental overdrive |
| Cancer | Purvabhadrapada, Anuradha, Vishakha | Emotional fatigue, dependency |
| Leo | Pushya, Anuradha, Uttara Bhadrapada | Delays, humility lessons |
| Virgo | Rohini, Hasta, Shravana | Emotional sensitivity, health dips |
| Libra | Ardra, Swati, Shatabhisha | Unstable relations, unorthodox paths |
| Scorpio | Bharani, Purva Phalguni, Purva Ashadha | Desire overdrive, passion pitfalls |
| Sagittarius | Krittika, Uttara Phalguni, Uttara Ashadha | Ego clashes, pride correction |
| Capricorn | Ardra, Swati, Shatabhisha | Slow but transformative success |
| Aquarius | Mrigashira, Chitra, Dhanishta | Conflict between intellect & emotion |
| Pisces | Jyeshtha, Ashlesha, Revati | Faith confusion, mystical insight later |

If your Moon, Ascendant, or Atmakaraka lies here → Shunya Dosha present.
