The Priti nitya yoga

a birth, or an activity begun, under the Priti nitya yoga, the panchanga's own yoga found by summing the Sun's and Moon's longitudes, not a planetary combination yoga

What the tradition reads

Priti is the second of the twenty seven nitya yogas, the panchanga limb Wikipedia's article on the Panchangam describes as found by summing the Sun's and Moon's longitudes and dividing the total into shares of thirteen degrees and twenty minutes, a calculation with no bearing on a planetary combination yoga formed by particular grahas placed together in a chart. Onesanatan.com reads its name plainly as love or affection, names Vishnu as its ruling deity, and classes the yoga auspicious, a reading astrogle.com's own account confirms, describing a native who is well liked, attracted to the opposite sex and able to enjoy life with contentment. Both sources place Priti among the most cleanly favourable of the twenty seven, its affection read as settled and mutual rather than as a fleeting or one sided attraction.

The story

Vishnu, Wikipedia's article records, holds the office of preserver within the Trimurti, presiding over sattva, the quality of goodness and stability, in contrast to Brahma's creation and Shiva's eventual dissolution. Where destruction and creation are each, in their own way, a single decisive act, preservation is instead a continuous, patient attention, sustaining what already exists through each of Vishnu's own avatars taken up whenever the world's order comes under threat and quietly set down again once it is restored. A yoga of love and affection, ruled by the deity whose defining trait is exactly this steady, unbroken care for what he has chosen to protect, fits Priti's own reading closely, since the tradition elsewhere treats real affection the same way, not as a single spark but as a devotion renewed and kept up for as long as it is needed.
