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 October 2026 a property purchase has 3 qualifying days and a business start 3. The lists are identical this month: Revati runs on 1 day of October, but it fails on another limb.
| Day | Nakshatra | Open to |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Thu | Rohini | both rites |
| 5 Mon | Pushya | both rites |
| 19 Mon | Uttara Ashadha | both rites |
Revati runs on 25 October — 1 day of October 2026 on which the two filters could differ at all, of which none clear everything else.
One rule short — 9 days

Which rule did the excluding
No closure touches October 2026, so all 31 days were examined. 3 passed everything, 9 missed by a single rule, and 19 missed by two or more, in a month where one of this rite's 12 accepted nakshatras ran on 13 days. Nakshatra is the binding constraint here, ruling out 18 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 | 13 | — |
| Nakshatra | 12 of the 27 | 18 | 6 |
| Yoga | none of the nine ashubha yogas | 11 | 2 |
| Karana | not Vishti (Bhadra) at sunrise | 2 | — |
Read the last column as a counterfactual. 6 days of October fail on nakshatra and nothing else — 7, 8, 15, 16, 23, 30 — 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 October 2026, with Rohini coming round twice.
Weekday supply. October 2026 holds 18 days of the right weekday (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday), none of them inside a closure, and 3 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.

October 2026 against the rest of 2026
Across the whole of 2026 this occasion has 27 qualifying days, and October 2026's 3 puts it 3rd of the twelve, level with 2 other months. September 2026 is the widest month at 6 days, and 3 months of the year have none at all.
The other six occasions in October 2026
Same 31 days, seven different filters: in October they return between 0 and 3 qualifying days, median 2. This rite’s 3 is on the generous side of that, and the reason is the 12-nakshatra set and the 2 closures it carries.
Questions about October 2026
How many days in October 2026 are good for a business start or a property purchase?
3 days of the 31 pass every filter: 1 October (Thursday), 5 October (Monday), 19 October (Monday). They are not evenly spread — the widest gap between two of them is 14 days. 9 further days miss on one rule alone and are listed with the rule they missed.
Is any part of October 2026 closed for auspicious beginnings?
No. None of the closed periods of 2026 that apply to this occasion — Kharmas, Adhika maas — touches October 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 October 2026?
No closure touches October 2026, so the difference is the five limbs themselves: nakshatra alone rules out 18 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 October 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 October 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.
