How a property / land date is chosen

Every date in the list above had to clear four independent gates before it appeared. A day is listed only when all four pass, which is why some months carry a dozen dates and others carry none at all. The gates are the nakshatra the Moon occupies, the tithi (lunar day), the weekday, and whether the date falls inside a season when tradition pauses buying or registering property altogether.

Which nakshatras qualify

The Moon passes through 27 nakshatras in a lunar month, and classical muhurta texts treat only some of them as suited to buying or registering property. The list above accepts these 13:

Ashwini · Rohini · Mrigashira · Punarvasu · Pushya · Hasta · Chitra · Swati · Anuradha · Shravana · Dhanishta · Shatabhisha · Revati

A date qualifies if a listed nakshatra is present at any point during that day — not only at sunrise. The Moon changes nakshatra roughly once a day, rarely at a convenient hour, so the nakshatra shown against each date is the one that actually satisfied the rule, which is sometimes the one the Moon moves into later that day rather than the one it woke up in.

Which tithis are left out

Three groups of lunar days are excluded regardless of how good the nakshatra is. The Rikta tithis — Chaturthi, Navami and Chaturdashi in each paksha — are traditionally read as "empty" and kept for maintenance rather than beginnings. Amavasya, the new moon, is left out. So is Pratipada, the first day of each paksha. The tithi that counts is the one prevailing at sunrise.

Weekdays that are avoided

Tuesday is set aside for buying or registering property. Tuesday belongs to Mangal (Mars), read as sharp and hurried — the opposite of what a settling ceremony wants.

The months with no dates at all

When a month shows zero dates it is almost never because the nakshatras failed. It is because the whole month sits inside one of these windows:

• Adhika Maas — the intercalary lunar month added roughly every three years to keep the lunar and solar calendars together. No auspicious beginnings are scheduled in it.

Why your own chart shortens the list

Everything above is computed for the panchang alone, which is why it is the same list for everyone. A traditional astrologer then narrows it against the individual: Chandra Bala asks where the transiting Moon sits relative to your natal Moon, and Tara Bala counts the nakshatra from your birth star to check it falls in a supportive group. The personalise form above the list applies both, keeping only the dates where both pass, so the list usually gets noticeably shorter.

If no date fits when you need it

This is the ordinary case, not the exception — possession dates, notice periods and family availability rarely land inside Chaturmas-free months with a listed nakshatra. Tradition has an answer for it: the Abujh muhurats, a handful of days considered so auspicious that they need no calculation at all. Akshaya Tritiya, Vasant Panchami, Bhadli Navami, Dev Uthani Ekadashi and Phulera Dooj are the best known, and work is begun on them freely even in months that are otherwise closed.

You can see which of those fall this year on the muhurat overview, alongside the other activities.

Reading this against a printed panchang

Regional and printed panchangs use different weekday, tithi and nakshatra rules for buying or registering property; we leave out Pratipada, for example, which some lists allow. So a printed list can include dates ours omits, and leave out dates we show.

A listed date means a qualifying nakshatra and tithi occur that day, not necessarily all day. This page does not compute a time window, so confirm the exact window with your family priest.

Two more caveats. These dates are computed for New Delhi, and sunrise shifts the nakshatra and tithi boundaries by up to an hour or so across India — a date on the edge of a transition can differ for Chennai or Guwahati. And the exclusion windows above follow the Purnimanta reckoning and the DrikPanchang convention; some regional and family traditions keep a different list, particularly for Rikta tithis and for Magha. Where your family priest differs from this page, follow the priest.
