Which months have griha pravesh muhurat in 2026?

Only six lunar months are used: Kartika, Margashirsha, Magha, Phalguna, Vaishakha and Jyeshtha. Chaitra, Ashadha, Shravana, Bhadrapada, Ashwin and Pausha have none, and any month in which Jupiter or Venus is set, or which is an Adhika (leap) month, also drops out. The table above shows which of these fall in Wellington.

Can griha pravesh be done on a Saturday?

In this calculation only Sunday and Tuesday are excluded, so a Saturday with an auspicious Nakshatra and Tithi is allowed. Some families avoid Saturday by custom; follow your family priest if so.

What if no muhurat suits us before we must move in?

Many families move belongings in first and hold the formal griha pravesh puja - kalash, threshold entry and Vastu Shanti - on the next muhurat. A simple Ganesha puja on entry is the usual practice until then.

Why are the muhurat dates for Wellington different from India's?

A muhurat is built from the Tithi and Nakshatra in force between local sunrises, and from the local times when they change. A Nakshatra that begins at 9 PM in Delhi begins at 11:30 AM in New York, so a window can move to the previous day, shrink, or vanish. Asta of Venus and Jupiter also depends on the place: near the horizon at high latitudes they stay hidden longer, which closes weeks of dates in London that are open in India. That is why every date here is calculated for Wellington itself rather than converted from IST.

How accurate are these dates?

The engine reproduces Drik Panchang's published muhurat tables day by day. Checked against every day of 2025-2027 for Delhi, New York, London and Sydney, it matches all 4,380 days for each of the four ceremonies - which days have a muhurat, the reason a day is excluded, and every muhurat window to within two minutes (Drik prints whole minutes). Jupiter and Venus asta periods match Drik's for 143 of 143 periods checked from 2012 to 2027.

Does a muhurat also depend on my birth chart?

Yes. The dates here pass Panchang Shuddhi - the day itself is clean. Traditionally the time should also have good Tara Bala and Chandra Bala for the people involved, and the Moon should not be 8th from their Moon sign (Chandrashtama). The muhurat finder checks this for every family member you add; an astrologer can then fix the exact Lagna.

How Wellington's dates differ from India's

Converting India's muhurat list to Wellington time gives the wrong answer on 11 days in 2026, because the Tithi and Nakshatra change at different points of Wellington's day and Venus and Jupiter set and rise on different dates in its sky.

Muhurat in Wellington, not in India

Guru and Shukra Asta 2026 as seen from Wellington

No griha pravesh is held while Jupiter (Guru) or Venus (Shukra) is hidden in the Sun's glare, nor for three days either side. These are the periods for Wellington's own sky:

Shukra (Venus) Asta: 5:33 AM, 3 Nov 2025 to 8:50 PM, 19 Feb 2026
Guru (Jupiter) Asta: 5:55 PM, 17 Jul 2026 to 6:09 AM, 25 Aug 2026
Shukra (Venus) Asta: 8:18 PM, 22 Oct 2026 to 5:49 AM, 24 Oct 2026

What makes a griha pravesh muhurat

A griha pravesh muhurat is the auspicious time to enter a new home for the first time with puja, kalash and Vastu Shanti. It needs a fixed or gentle Nakshatra, a clean Tithi and weekday, an auspicious lunar month, and both Jupiter and Venus visible in the sky.

Nakshatra: Rohini, Mrigashira, Uttara Phalguni, Chitra, Anuradha, Uttara Ashadha, Uttara Bhadrapada and Revati
Tithi: Shukla Dwitiya, Tritiya, Panchami, Saptami, Dashami, Ekadashi and Trayodashi; Krishna Pratipada, Dwitiya, Tritiya, Panchami, Saptami, Dashami and Ekadashi
Weekday: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday
Lunar month (Amanta): Kartika, Margashirsha, Magha, Phalguna, Vaishakha and Jyeshtha
Guru and Shukra: Both must be visible - not during Guru or Shukra Asta, nor 3 days either side
Adhika Masa: No muhurat in a leap lunar month
