What is Pancha Pakshi
Pancha Pakshi Sastram is a Tamil system handed down in the name of Agathiyar. Each person has one bird, based on the birth star and the moon phase: vulture, owl, crow, rooster or peacock.
Day and night each have five Yamams. In each Yamam, each bird is in one of five activities: Ruling, Eating, Walking, Sleeping, Dying. Ruling and eating are good; sleeping and dying are to be avoided.
It is believed that it is good to start important work when your bird is ruling or eating. The Yamams are worked out from sunrise and sunset in your city.
