One of the five birds is assigned to every human being as the
controlling power based on the Birth Star of the person and the Paksha of the Moon at the time of birth. The
activity of this Main Bird at a given point of time and the activity of the Sub-Bird at that time and the relationship
between them indicates whether the time will be beneficial and lucky for the person or not. Pancha-Pakshi
Shasta is very popular in South India especially Tamil Nadu. It helps in selecting auspicious time and also for
answering queries (Prasna).

Pancha-Pakshi Shastra
Pancha-Pakshi Shastra is based on ancient literature in Tamil
language. Pancha means five and Pakshi means Bird. The PanchaPakshi system has some resemblance to the Pancha-Bhuta (Five
elements) system of Vedic Astrology. It is believed that the Five
Elements represented by five birds, influence and control all the actions
of human beings. These five birds take their turns in a special sequence
and radiate their powers during day and night. The power that takes
effect first on a day or night and the sequence that follows depends on
the day of the week and the Paksha (waxing half or waning half cycles)
of the Moon.

The five birds in the Pancha-Pakshi Shastra are:

1- Vulture
2- Owl
3- Crow
4- Cock
5- Peacock
These birds engage in any one of the following five activities at any given time:
1- Rule
2- Eat
3- Walk
4- Sleep
5- Die
The birds are considered most powerful when they rule and least powerful when they die.
To find out your Birth Pakshi (Nakshatra Pakshi) you have to know your birth star according to Vedic Astrology
and the Paksha of the Moon at the time of your birth. The half of the Lunar Cycle when the Moon increases in
size and reaches the Full Moon (Pournami) is called Sukla-Paksha and the other half of the cycle when the
size decreases until the New Moon is called the Krishna-Paksha. Birth Stars are based on the longitude of
Moon and are 27 in number from Aswini to Revati. Once you know the Birth Star (Nakshatra) and the Paksha
you can find your Nakshatra Pakshi (Bird) from the following chart.

The five birds rule certain days of the week and the days when your bird rules are considered good for you.
Also, the days on which your bird is least powerful (death days) will be least useful for you. It is best not to
undertake important tasks or take decisions on such days. The ruling days and death days also depend on the
Paksha of the day you are considering for an activity. While death days of a bird are same for day as well as
night, the ruling days are different for day and night.
The chart showing the ruling and death days are given below:

Each day of 12 hours is divided into five equal portions and given to different activities of the birds. Within each
portion, the time is further allocated to other birds called apahara birds and their activities. The duty cycles
follow complex and intricate logic of Pancha-Pakshi Shastra. One can select the best suitable time during a
day or night using detailed charts based on Pancha-Paskshi Shastra. Astro-Vision will soon bring these to you
through our website for the benefit of all our members.
The Pancha-Pakshi Shastra is not to be confused with 'Pakshi Shastra' practiced by nomads in India where
they use a parrot to pick a card from a deck to predict the future.
