A Nitya Yoga is formed by adding Sun & Moon longitudes in 13°20' arcs. Includes 18 Shubh and 9 Ashubh daily Yogas, alongside special Anitya and Ravi Yogas.
Temporary, situational Yogas - distinct from the 27 permanent Nitya Yogas above
Unlike the 27 Nitya Yogas (which depend only on the Sun-Moon longitude sum and recur daily), Anitya Yogas form from a specific combination of weekday (Vara), lunar day (Tithi) and Nakshatra occurring together - a rarer, situational alignment. Their power is transient: active only for the day the combination holds, but considered powerful enough to override many ordinary doshas when present.

The solar dosha-canceling Yoga - Sarva Dosha Nivaraka
Ravi Yog forms when the Moon transits the 4th, 6th, 9th, 10th, 13th or 20th Nakshatra counted from the Sun's own Nakshatra on that day. It is classically called Sarva Dosha Nivaraka ("remover of all doshas") because its solar energy is believed to neutralize many inauspicious combinations (including some effects of Panchak and weak Nakshatras) active at the same time, making the day usable for important work despite other minor afflictions.
Worship & Remedy: Offer copper-vessel water (Arghya) to the rising Sun, recite the Aditya Hridayam or Surya mantra (Om Suryaya Namah), and avoid red/orange colors being worn inauspiciously elsewhere - Ravi Yog is best honored by simple, disciplined Sun worship at sunrise.
