Which of these days a shop opening can use, and which only a land deal
The two rites differ on 1 nakshatra and nothing else: Revati is given to a property transfer and not usually to a shop opening. Every day below is marked accordingly.
In August 2026 a property purchase has 3 qualifying days and a business start 3. The lists are identical this month: Revati run on 2 days of August, but each fails on another limb.
| Day | Nakshatra | Open to |
|---|---|---|
| 3 Mon | Uttara Bhadrapada | both rites |
| 17 Mon | Chitra | both rites |
| 26 Wed | Shravana | both rites |
Revati run on 4 August, 31 August — 2 days of August 2026 on which the two filters could differ at all, of which none clear everything else.
One rule short — 7 days
They divide by the rule they missed: 3 on vara, 3 on nakshatra, 1 on tithi.
- 4 TueKrishna Shashthi, Revati — short on vara: Tuesday is not among the preferred weekdays
- 13 ThuShukla Pratipada, Ashlesha — short on nakshatra: Ashlesha is not in this occasion's set
- 15 SatShukla Tritiya, Uttara Phalguni — short on vara: Saturday is not among the preferred weekdays
- 19 WedShukla Saptami, Swati — short on nakshatra: Swati is not in this occasion's set
- 24 MonShukla Dwadashi, Purva Ashadha — short on nakshatra: Purva Ashadha is not in this occasion's set
- 25 TueShukla Dwadashi, Uttara Ashadha — short on vara: Tuesday is not among the preferred weekdays
- 27 ThuShukla Chaturdashi, Dhanishta — short on tithi: Shukla Chaturdashi is a Rikta tithi
Which rule did the excluding
No closure touches August 2026, so all 31 days were examined. 3 passed everything, 7 missed by a single rule, and 21 missed by two or more, in a month where one of this rite's 12 accepted nakshatras ran on 14 days. Nakshatra is the binding constraint here, ruling out 17 of the 31.
| Rule | What it asks for | Days it excluded | On its own |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tithi | anything but the 3 Rikta tithis and Amavasya | 7 | 1 |
| Vara | Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday | 14 | 3 |
| Nakshatra | 12 of the 27 | 17 | 3 |
| Yoga | none of the nine ashubha yogas | 12 | — |
| Karana | not Vishti (Bhadra) at sunrise | 6 | — |
Read the last column as a counterfactual. 3 days of August fail on vara and nothing else — 4, 15, 25 — so a family willing to set aside that one rule has those days available. No other single relaxation buys as much.
Nakshatra supply. 12 of the 27 are accepted for this rite, and they fell on 14 days of August 2026, with Uttara Bhadrapada and Revati coming round twice.
Weekday supply. August 2026 holds 17 days of the right weekday (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday), none of them inside a closure, and 3 survive the rest of the filter — against 14 days supplied by the 12 nakshatras. Unlike the sky's four limbs, this is the one the calendar fixes.
The two rites differ on 1 nakshatra and nothing else: Revati is given to a property transfer and not usually to a shop opening. Every day below is marked accordingly.

August 2026 against the rest of 2026
The year holds 27 days for a business start or a property purchase. This month's 3 ranks 3rd of the twelve, level with 2 other months. September 2026 is the widest month at 6 days, and nothing at all in January, March, June.
The other six occasions in August 2026
Same 31 days, seven different filters: in August they return between 0 and 4 qualifying days, median 3. This rite’s 3 is the median itself, and the reason is the 12-nakshatra set and the 2 closures it carries.
Questions about August 2026
How many days in August 2026 are good for a business start or a property purchase?
3 days of the 31 pass every filter: 3 August (Monday), 17 August (Monday), 26 August (Wednesday). They are not evenly spread — the widest gap between two of them is 14 days. 7 further days miss on one rule alone and are listed with the rule they missed.
Is any part of August 2026 closed for auspicious beginnings?
No. None of the closed periods of 2026 that apply to this occasion — Kharmas, Adhika maas — touches August 2026, so every day in the month was decided on its own panchang.
Why do other sites list more a business start or a property purchase dates in August 2026?
No closure touches August 2026, so the difference is the five limbs themselves: nakshatra alone rules out 17 of the 31 days, and 5 of the five bite at all this month. A list that returns four or five dates for any month you name is not reading a panchang.
Are the August dates for a property purchase the same as for opening a shop?
Not quite. The two filters differ on 1 nakshatra — Revati — and on nothing else, so a land transfer accepts every day a shop opening does and sometimes more. In August 2026 that means 3 days for a property purchase and 3 for a business start, the same list, because no qualifying day this month falls on Revati.
