💍Marriage (Vivah)
Marriage Muhurat, August 2027
Nothing in August 2027 is available for a marriage: the month sits entirely inside Shukra asta and Chaturmas, so the five limbs of the panchang were never the deciding factor. Which day would otherwise have been the strongest is still worth knowing, because it tells you where to look in the months either side.

The whole of August is inside Shukra asta · 31 days of this month
The whole of August is inside Chaturmas · 31 days of this month
Guru asta — 16 August to 15 September · 16 days of this month
No day qualifies
August 2027 is shut end to end, so no day was ever in contention. No day comes within a single rule of passing either. March 2027 and November 2027 are the widest of 2027 for this rite, level at 3 days each.
What removed the rest of the month
Marriage is the one occasion every closure applies to, and in most months they take more days than the five limbs do.
- Shukra asta took 31 days of August — the entire month
- Chaturmas took 31 days of August — the entire month
- Guru asta took 16 days of August
The nakshatra filter is the other narrow one. The ten vivah nakshatras are ten of the twenty-seven, and they fall on 11 days of August 2027 — 4 Magha, 6 Uttara Phalguni, 7 Hasta, 9 Swati, 11 Anuradha, 15 Uttara Ashadha, 21 Uttara Bhadrapada, 22 Revati, 26 Rohini, 27 Mrigashira, 31 Magha — of which none survives everything else.
Which rule did the excluding
31 days of August were shut by a closure and never examined. Of the 0 that were, none passed everything; 0 missed by a single rule and 0 by two or more, though one of this rite's 10 accepted nakshatras ran on 11 days of it.
| Rule | What it asks for | Days it excluded | On its own |
|---|
Read the last column as a counterfactual. Nothing in August 2027 fails on exactly one rule with everything else in place, so there is no single concession that would widen the shortlist.
Nakshatra supply. 10 of the 27 are accepted for this rite, and they fell on 11 days of August 2027, with Magha coming round twice.
Weekday supply. August 2027 holds 17 days of the right weekday (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday), 0 of them outside a closure, and not one of those survive the rest of the filter — against 11 days supplied by the 10 nakshatras. Unlike the sky's four limbs, this is the one the calendar fixes.
Every closure applies, and this is where they are strictest. Inside a qualifying day the pheras still need a lagna window calculated from both charts.
Every day of August 2027, and what ruled it out
All 31 days with the verdict and the reason, each linked to its own panchang page: 31 shut before being read, 0 examined against 10 nakshatras, 0 through.

August 2027 against the rest of 2027
Across the whole of 2027 this occasion has 12 qualifying days, and August 2027's 0 puts it 8th of the twelve, level with 4 other months. March 2027 and November 2027 are the widest, level at 3 days each, and 5 months of the year have none at all.
The other six occasions in August 2027
Same 31 days, seven different filters: in August they return between 0 and 3 qualifying days, median 2. This rite’s 0 is on the narrow side of that, and the reason is the 10-nakshatra set and the 5 closures it carries.
Questions about August 2027
How many days in August 2027 are good for marriage?
None. August 2027 lies entirely inside Shukra asta and Chaturmas, which closes the month for this occasion whatever the day's panchang says.
Is any part of August 2027 closed for auspicious beginnings?
Shukra asta covers the whole of August. Venus is combust — within 10° of the Sun in longitude, closest on 12 August. Shukra governs conjugal life, so a pandit declines these days however good the tithi and nakshatra are. Chaturmas covers the whole of August. Devshayani Ekadashi to Dev Uthani Ekadashi, the four months Vishnu is held to be asleep. Marriages stop across almost every community. Pitru Paksha sits inside it and is avoided in its own right. Guru asta, 16 August to 15 September. Jupiter is combust — within 11° of the Sun in longitude, closest on 31 August. Guru sanctifies the vivah, so a pandit declines these days however good the tithi and nakshatra are.
Why do other sites list more marriage dates in August 2027?
The closures alone take 31 of this month's 31 days — Shukra asta, Chaturmas, Guru asta apply here — and a list assembled without them has 31 more days to draw on than this one does. Of the 0 that were examined, each was checked against all five limbs.
What is Guru or Shukra asta, and why does it matter for a wedding?
A planet is asta — combust — when it comes within a few degrees of the Sun in longitude and is lost in its glare. Jupiter sanctifies the vivah and Venus governs conjugal life, so a pandit declines the days either one is combust however good the tithi and nakshatra are. Shukra asta runs 6 July to 17 September; Guru asta runs 16 August to 15 September in 2027. It is the closure published lists most often miss, and in 2027 it removes more days than Kharmas does.
