Vishad Yoga is formed when the Moon and Saturn (चंद्र + शनि) are conjoined or aspect each other, especially in the 1st, 4th, 5th, 8th, or 12th houses. Saturn represents sorrow and delay. This yoga makes a person extremely melancholic, lonely, and prone to deep clinical depression.

Like all Ekadashis, consuming rice, wheat, lentils, onion, garlic, and non-vegetarian food is strictly prohibited. One should also avoid anger, lying, and sleeping during the day. Plucking leaves from the Amla tree on this day is also forbidden; pick them a day earlier if needed.
