The days that carried the five movable (Chara) nakshatras
A vehicle is a thing that moves, so the Chara group is its own — Punarvasu, Swati, Shravana, Dhanishta and Shatabhisha, the widest of the seven classes.
| Day | Nakshatra | Tithi | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 Sun | Swati | Krishna Trayodashi | Vara: Sunday is not among the preferred weekdays |
| 13 Sun | Shravana | Shukla Chaturthi | Tithi: Shukla Chaturthi is a Rikta tithi |
| 14 Mon | Shravana | Shukla Panchami | Yoga: Vyaghata is one of the nine ashubha yogas |
| 15 Tue | Dhanishta | Shukla Shashthi | Vara: Tuesday is not among the preferred weekdays |
| 16 Wed | Shatabhisha | Shukla Saptami | Dhanu Kharmas (next) |
| 25 Fri | Punarvasu | Krishna Dwitiya | 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, 6 missed by a single rule, and 8 missed by two or more, in a month where one of this rite's 13 accepted nakshatras ran on 14 days. Nakshatra is the binding constraint here, ruling out 8 of the 15.
| Rule | What it asks for | Days it excluded | On its own |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tithi | anything but the 3 Rikta tithis and Amavasya | 4 | — |
| Vara | Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday | 7 | 3 |
| Nakshatra | 13 of the 27 | 8 | 2 |
| Yoga | none of the nine ashubha yogas | 6 | 1 |
| Karana | not Vishti (Bhadra) at sunrise | 2 | — |
Read the last column as a counterfactual. 3 days of December fail on vara and nothing else — 5, 6, 15 — so a family willing to set aside that one rule has those days available. No other single relaxation buys as much.
Nakshatra supply. 13 of the 27 are accepted for this rite, and they fell on 14 days of December 2026, with Shravana and Hasta coming round twice, while Mrigashira did not fall at sunrise at all — of 13 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 14 days supplied by the 13 nakshatras. Unlike the sky's four limbs, this is the one the calendar fixes.
A purchase is not a samskara, so Chaturmas is widely treated as open for it. Dhanteras and Akshaya Tritiya are used regardless of the panchang.

December 2026 against the rest of 2026
December 2026 is 10th of the twelve of 2026 for this rite. July 2026 and September 2026 carry the most, 5 each, and 2 months carry none, out of 29 for the year.
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 13-nakshatra set and the 2 closures it carries.
Questions about December 2026
How many days in December 2026 are good for vehicle purchase?
1 day of the 31 pass every filter: 4 December (Friday). 6 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 vehicle purchase 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, nakshatra removed 8.
Which nakshatras matter most for vehicle purchase?
The movable (Chara) and swift nakshatras, which suit a thing that travels, plus the soft ones. Within that set, the five movable (Chara) nakshatras is the group this occasion is built on, and December 2026 carries 6 days on which one of them falls: 6 December (Swati), 13 December (Shravana), 14 December (Shravana), 15 December (Dhanishta), 16 December (Shatabhisha), 25 December (Punarvasu).
