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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 Thu | Uttara Phalguni | Krishna Chaturthi | Shukra asta |
| 15 Sun | Uttara Ashadha | Krishna Trayodashi | Shukra asta |
| 20 Fri | Uttara Bhadrapada | Shukla Tritiya | passes everything |
| 25 Wed | Rohini | Shukla Navami | Holashtak |
One rule short — 2 days
They divide by the rule they missed: 1 on tithi, 1 on nakshatra.
- 18 WedShukla Pratipada, Shatabhisha — short on tithi: Shukla Pratipada is not among the favoured tithis
- 19 ThuShukla Dwitiya, Purva Bhadrapada — short on nakshatra: Purva Bhadrapada is not in this occasion's set
Which rule did the excluding
23 days of February were shut by a closure and never examined. Of the 5 that were, 1 passed everything, 2 missed by a single rule, and 2 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 2 of the 5.
| 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 | 2 | 1 |
| Vara | Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday | 2 | — |
| Nakshatra | 11 of the 27 | 2 | 1 |
| Karana | not Vishti (Bhadra) at sunrise | 1 | — |
Read the last column as a counterfactual. 1 day of February fail on tithi and nothing else — 18 — so a family willing to set aside that one rule has that day 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 February 2026.
Weekday supply. February 2026 holds 16 days of the right weekday (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday), 3 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 February 2026, and what ruled it out
All 28 days with the verdict and the reason, each linked to its own panchang page: 23 shut before being read, 5 examined against 11 nakshatras, 1 through.

February 2026 against the rest of 2026
February 2026 contributes 1 of the 5 days 2026 offers for a griha pravesh — 1st of the twelve, level with 4 other months, and below the 3 that is the median across the seven occasions this month. 7 months of the twelve offer nothing, 4 of them because the month is shut outright.
The other six occasions in February 2026
Same 28 days, seven different filters: in February they return between 1 and 4 qualifying days, median 3. 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 February 2026
How many days in February 2026 are good for griha pravesh?
1 day of the 28 pass every filter: 20 February (Friday). 2 further days miss on one rule alone and are listed with the rule they missed.
Is any part of February 2026 closed for auspicious beginnings?
Shukra asta, 26 November to 17 February. Venus is combust — within 10° of the Sun in longitude, closest on 6 January. Shukra governs conjugal life, so a pandit declines these days however good the tithi and nakshatra are. Holashtak, 23 February to 2 March. The eight days ending at Holika Dahan on 2 March. Observed in Punjab, Himachal, Haryana and much of North India; not generally in the south or in Bengal.
Why do other sites list more griha pravesh dates in February 2026?
The closures alone take 23 of this month's 28 days — Shukra asta, Holashtak apply here — and a list assembled without them has 23 more days to draw on than this one does. Of the 5 that were examined, tithi removed 2.
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 February 2026 carries 4 days on which one of them falls: 5 February (Uttara Phalguni), 15 February (Uttara Ashadha), 20 February (Uttara Bhadrapada), 25 February (Rohini).
