The days that carried the four fixed (Dhruva) nakshatras
A house is meant to stand, so the four Dhruva nakshatras come first — Rohini, Uttara Phalguni, Uttara Ashadha and Uttara Bhadrapada.
| Day | Nakshatra | Tithi | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 Thu | Uttara Phalguni | Krishna Dashami | passes everything |
| 12 Sat | Uttara Ashadha | Shukla Tritiya | Vara: Saturday is not among the preferred weekdays |
| 18 Fri | Uttara Bhadrapada | Shukla Navami | Dhanu Kharmas (next) |
| 23 Wed | Rohini | Shukla Chaturdashi | Dhanu Kharmas (next) |
| 30 Wed | Uttara Phalguni | Krishna Saptami | Dhanu Kharmas (next) |

Which rule did the excluding
16 days of December were shut by a closure and never examined. Of the 15 that were, 1 passed everything, 3 missed by a single rule, and 11 missed by two or more, in a month where one of this rite's 11 accepted nakshatras ran on 11 days. Tithi is the binding constraint here, ruling out 9 of the 15.
| Rule | What it asks for | Days it excluded | On its own |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tithi | 7 of the fifteen — Dwitiya, Tritiya, Panchami, Saptami, Dashami, Ekadashi, Trayodashi and Purnima, Ashtami excluded | 9 | — |
| Vara | Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday | 7 | 2 |
| Nakshatra | 11 of the 27 | 9 | 1 |
| Yoga | none of the nine ashubha yogas | 6 | — |
| Karana | not Vishti (Bhadra) at sunrise | 2 | — |
Read the last column as a counterfactual. 2 days of December fail on vara and nothing else — 6, 12 — so a family willing to set aside that one rule has those days available. No other single relaxation buys as much.
Nakshatra supply. 11 of the 27 are accepted for this rite, and they fell on 11 days of December 2026, with Uttara Phalguni coming round twice, while Mrigashira did not fall at sunrise at all — of 11 accepted stars the 27-fold division and the calendar month do not divide evenly, so a favoured one can simply be skipped.
Weekday supply. December 2026 holds 18 days of the right weekday (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday), 8 of them outside a closure, and 1 survives the rest of the filter — against 11 days supplied by the 11 nakshatras. Unlike the sky's four limbs, this is the one the calendar fixes.
Stated for Apoorva Griha Pravesh, a first entry into a newly built house. Re-entry after repairs or a long absence is treated more leniently, and Chaturmas is often accepted for it.
Every day of December 2026, and what ruled it out
All 31 days with the verdict and the reason, each linked to its own panchang page: 16 shut before being read, 15 examined against 11 nakshatras, 1 through.

December 2026 against the rest of 2026
Set against the other eleven months, December 2026 ranks 1st of the twelve, level with 4 other months with 1 of the year's 5. 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 December 2026
Same 31 days, seven different filters: in December they return between 1 and 4 qualifying days, median 2. This rite’s 1 is on the narrow side of that, and the reason is the 11-nakshatra set and the 5 closures it carries.
Questions about December 2026
How many days in December 2026 are good for griha pravesh?
1 day of the 31 pass every filter: 3 December (Thursday). 3 further days miss on one rule alone and are listed with the rule they missed.
Is any part of December 2026 closed for auspicious beginnings?
Dhanu Kharmas (next), 16 December to 14 January. The Sun is in Sagittarius. Auspicious beginnings are deferred through the whole transit.
Why do other sites list more griha pravesh dates in December 2026?
The closures alone take 16 of this month's 31 days — Dhanu Kharmas (next) applies here — and a list assembled without them has 16 more days to draw on than this one does. Of the 15 that were examined, tithi removed 9.
Which nakshatras matter most for griha pravesh?
The four fixed (Dhruva) nakshatras, for a thing meant to last, with the soft and movable ones. Within that set, the four fixed (Dhruva) nakshatras is the group this occasion is built on, and December 2026 carries 5 days on which one of them falls: 3 December (Uttara Phalguni), 12 December (Uttara Ashadha), 18 December (Uttara Bhadrapada), 23 December (Rohini), 30 December (Uttara Phalguni).
