💍Marriage (Vivah)

No day qualifies
Every one of the 31 days fails on at least one limb or falls in a closed period, and nakshatra alone accounts for 20 of them. 8 days came within a single rule and are listed below — that is the set worth putting to a pandit. 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.
- No closure touches May 2027; every day was decided on its own panchang.
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 May 2027 — 3 Uttara Bhadrapada, 4 Revati, 8 Rohini, 9 Mrigashira, 14 Magha, 16 Uttara Phalguni, 17 Hasta, 19 Swati, 21 Anuradha, 25 Uttara Ashadha, 31 Uttara Bhadrapada — of which none survives everything else.
One rule short — 8 days
They divide by the rule they missed: 4 on tithi, 3 on vara, 1 on karana.

- 31 MonKrishna Dashami, Uttara Bhadrapada — short on karana: Vishti (Bhadra) at sunrise
Which rule did the excluding
No closure touches May 2027, so all 31 days were examined. none passed everything; 8 missed by a single rule and 23 by two or more, though one of this rite's 10 accepted nakshatras ran on 11 days of it. Nakshatra is the binding constraint here, ruling out 20 of the 31.
| 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 | 15 | 4 |
| Vara | Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday | 14 | 3 |
| Nakshatra | 10 of the 27 | 20 | — |
| Yoga | none of the nine ashubha yogas | 10 | — |
| Karana | not Vishti (Bhadra) at sunrise | 5 | 1 |
Read the last column as a counterfactual. 4 days of May fail on tithi and nothing else — 14, 17, 19, 21 — 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 11 days of May 2027, with Uttara Bhadrapada coming round twice.
Weekday supply. May 2027 holds 17 days of the right weekday (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday), none of them inside 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.

May 2027 against the rest of 2027
Set against the other eleven months, May 2027 ranks 8th of the twelve, level with 4 other months with 0 of the year's 12. 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 May 2027
Same 31 days, seven different filters: in May they return between 0 and 4 qualifying days, median 3. 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 May 2027
How many days in May 2027 are good for marriage?
None of the 31 days passes every filter. 8 days fails on a single limb and sits in no closed period, which is the set worth discussing with a pandit — they are listed above with the limb each one missed. March 2027 and November 2027 are the widest of 2027 for this occasion, level at 3 days each.
Is any part of May 2027 closed for auspicious beginnings?
No. None of the closed periods of 2027 that apply to this occasion — Kharmas, Adhika maas, Chaturmas, Asta, Holashtak — touches May 2027, so every day in the month was decided on its own panchang.
Why do other sites list more marriage dates in May 2027?
No closure touches May 2027, so the difference is the five limbs themselves: nakshatra alone rules out 20 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.
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.
