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.
- Dhanu Kharmas took 14 days of January
The nakshatra filter is the other narrow one. The ten vivah nakshatras are ten of the twenty-seven, and they fall on 12 days of January 2027 — 2 Swati, 4 Anuradha, 9 Uttara Ashadha, 14 Uttara Bhadrapada, 15 Revati, 19 Rohini, 20 Mrigashira, 24 Magha, 26 Uttara Phalguni, 27 Hasta, 29 Swati, 31 Anuradha — of which 2 survive everything else.
One rule short — 4 days
They divide by the rule they missed: 2 on vara, 1 on tithi, 1 on nakshatra.
- 18 MonShukla Dashami, Krittika — short on nakshatra: Krittika is not in this occasion's set
- 24 SunKrishna Dwitiya, Magha — short on vara: Sunday is not among the preferred weekdays
- 27 WedKrishna Shashthi, Hasta — short on tithi: Krishna Shashthi is not among the favoured tithis
- 31 SunKrishna Dashami, Anuradha — short on vara: Sunday is not among the preferred weekdays
Which rule did the excluding
14 days of January were shut by a closure and never examined. Of the 17 that were, 2 passed everything, 4 missed by a single rule, and 11 missed by two or more, in a month where one of this rite's 10 accepted nakshatras ran on 12 days. Nakshatra is the binding constraint here, ruling out 9 of the 17.
| 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 | 7 | 1 |
| Vara | Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday | 8 | 2 |
| Nakshatra | 10 of the 27 | 9 | 1 |
| Yoga | none of the nine ashubha yogas | 5 | — |
| Karana | not Vishti (Bhadra) at sunrise | 4 | — |
Read the last column as a counterfactual. 2 days of January fail on vara and nothing else — 24, 31 — so a family willing to set aside that one rule has those days available. No other single relaxation buys as much.
Nakshatra supply. 10 of the 27 are accepted for this rite, and they fell on 12 days of January 2027, with Swati and Anuradha coming round twice.
Weekday supply. January 2027 holds 17 days of the right weekday (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday), 9 of them outside a closure, and 2 survive the rest of the filter — against 12 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 January 2027, and what ruled it out

January 2027 against the rest of 2027
January 2027 contributes 2 of the 12 days 2027 offers for a marriage — 3rd of the twelve, and exactly the median across the seven occasions this month. 5 months of the twelve offer nothing, 3 of them because the month is shut outright.
The other six occasions in January 2027
Same 31 days, seven different filters: in January they return between 2 and 5 qualifying days, median 2. This rite’s 2 is the median itself, and the reason is the 10-nakshatra set and the 5 closures it carries.
Questions about January 2027
How many days in January 2027 are good for marriage?
2 days of the 31 pass every filter: 15 January (Friday), 20 January (Wednesday). They are not evenly spread — the widest gap between two of them is 5 days. 4 further days miss on one rule alone and are listed with the rule they missed.
Is any part of January 2027 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 marriage dates in January 2027?
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 9.
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.
