Business Start & Property Purchase Muhurat, January 2026

Dhanu Kharmas — 16 December to 14 January · 14 days of this month
No day qualifies
Every one of the 31 days fails on at least one limb or falls in a closed period, and nakshatra alone accounts for 10 of them. 10 days came within a single rule and are listed below — that is the set worth putting to a pandit. September 2026 is the widest month of 2026 for this rite at 6 days.
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.
Neither rite has a qualifying day in January 2026, so the difference between them is moot here. Revati does run on 1 day of the month, but that day fails on another limb.
Revati runs on 25 January — 1 day of January 2026 on which the two filters could differ at all, of which none clear everything else.
One rule short — 10 days

Which rule did the excluding
14 days of January were shut by a closure and never examined. Of the 17 that were, none passed everything; 10 missed by a single rule and 7 by two or more, though one of this rite's 12 accepted nakshatras ran on 13 days of it. Nakshatra is the binding constraint here, ruling out 10 of the 17.
| Rule | What it asks for | Days it excluded | On its own |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tithi | anything but the 3 Rikta tithis and Amavasya | 4 | — |
| Vara | Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday | 7 | 3 |
| Nakshatra | 12 of the 27 | 10 | 3 |
| Yoga | none of the nine ashubha yogas | 6 | 2 |
| Karana | not Vishti (Bhadra) at sunrise | 3 | 2 |
Read the last column as a counterfactual. 3 days of January fail on vara and nothing else — 20, 24, 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 13 days of January 2026, with Rohini coming round twice.
Weekday supply. January 2026 holds 18 days of the right weekday (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday), 10 of them outside a closure, and not one of those survive the rest of the filter — against 13 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.

January 2026 against the rest of 2026
Set against the other eleven months, January 2026 ranks 10th of the twelve, level with 2 other months with 0 of the year's 27. The distribution is uneven by design: the closures move by weeks from year to year, so a month open this year need not be open next.
The other six occasions in January 2026
Same 31 days, seven different filters: in January they return between 0 and 1 qualifying days, median 0. This rite’s 0 is the median itself, and the reason is the 12-nakshatra set and the 2 closures it carries.
Questions about January 2026
How many days in January 2026 are good for a business start or a property purchase?
None of the 31 days passes every filter. 10 days fails on a single limb and sits in no closed period, which is the set worth discussing with a pandit — they are listed above with the limb each one missed. September 2026 is the widest month of 2026 for this occasion at 6 days.
Is any part of January 2026 closed for auspicious beginnings?
Dhanu Kharmas, 16 December to 14 January. The Sun is in Sagittarius. Auspicious beginnings are deferred through the whole transit; it ends at Makar Sankranti.
Why do other sites list more a business start or a property purchase dates in January 2026?
The closures alone take 14 of this month's 31 days — Dhanu Kharmas applies here — and a list assembled without them has 14 more days to draw on than this one does. Of the 17 that were examined, nakshatra removed 10.
Are the January dates for a property purchase the same as for opening a shop?
In January 2026 the question does not arise: no day passes the filter for either rite, so both lists are empty. The two differ only on 1 nakshatra — Revati, accepted for land and not usually for trade — and September 2026 is the widest month of 2026 for both at 6 days.
