Vara is the Vedic weekday, ruled by planetary lords from Sunday (Sun) through Saturday (Saturn), affecting daily activities.
Each day of the week is ruled by a planet: Ravivara (Sunday/Sun), Somavara (Monday/Moon), Mangalavara (Tuesday/Mars), Budhavara (Wednesday/Mercury), Guruvara (Thursday/Jupiter), Shukravara (Friday/Venus), Shanivara (Saturday/Saturn). Activities aligned with the day's ruler tend to succeed. Vara is the fifth Panchanga element, combining with Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga, and Karana for comprehensive timing.
TriAstra incorporates Vara into Daily Fortune, noting when the weekday ruler harmonizes or conflicts with your birth chart placements.
Matching activities to the day's ruler improves outcomes. Thursday favors learning and spiritual matters (Jupiter), Friday favors relationships and arts (Venus), Saturday favors disciplined work (Saturn).
