The Siddhi nitya yoga

a birth, or an activity begun, under the Siddhi 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

Siddhi is the sixteenth of the twenty seven nitya yogas, the panchanga limb Wikipedia's article on the Panchangam derives from the sum of the Sun's and Moon's longitudes, unrelated to any planetary combination yoga formed by grahas placed together within a single chart. Onesanatan.com reads its name as perfection, attainment or success, names Ganesha as its ruling deity, and classes the yoga auspicious, a verdict astrogle.com's own reading confirms, describing a native as skilful and accomplished across several areas and disposed to protect and support others. Both sources agree Siddhi is among the more favourable of the twenty seven, its success read as something built through real, varied competence rather than handed over by chance, and its protective note setting it apart from yogas that promise achievement for the self alone.

The story

Ganesha, Wikipedia's article records, is widely revered as the remover of obstacles and the bringer of good luck, honoured at the start of rites and ventures from buying a vehicle to opening a business, on the understanding that whoever propitiates him is granted success and protection against adversity in return. His own birth carries an obstacle overcome within it: created by Parvati from clay to guard her privacy, the child blocks Shiva's own path and is beheaded for it, only to be restored afterward with an elephant's head so that he might live on, transformed rather than lost. A yoga of perfection and attainment, ruled by a god whose whole office is clearing the way toward exactly that kind of success, fits Siddhi as closely as any of the twenty seven yogas fits its own deity, the protective, supportive character astrogle.com describes drawn straight from a god invoked, above every other reason, to make a difficult beginning possible at all.
