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 |

Which rule did the excluding
14 days of January were shut by a closure and never examined. Of the 17 that were, 3 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 16 days. Vara is the binding constraint here, ruling out 8 of the 17.
| Rule | What it asks for | Days it excluded | On its own |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tithi | anything but the 3 Rikta tithis and Amavasya | 3 | — |
| Vara | Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday | 8 | 3 |
| Nakshatra | 13 of the 27 | 7 | 1 |
| Yoga | none of the nine ashubha yogas | 5 | 1 |
| Karana | not Vishti (Bhadra) at sunrise | 4 | 1 |
Read the last column as a counterfactual. 3 days of January fail on vara and nothing else — 16, 23, 31 — 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 16 days of January 2027, with Swati and Chitra 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 3 survive the rest of the filter — against 16 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.
Every day of January 2027, and what ruled it out
All 31 days with the verdict and the reason, each linked to its own panchang page: 14 shut before being read, 17 examined against 13 nakshatras, 3 through.

January 2027 against the rest of 2027
3 days here, 38 days across 2027 — 5th of the twelve, level with 2 other months for a vehicle purchase, and above the 2 that is the median across the seven occasions this month. The seven occasions between them range from 2 to 5 in January alone.
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 3 is on the generous side of that, and the reason is the 13-nakshatra set and the 2 closures it carries.
Questions about January 2027
How many days in January 2027 are good for vehicle purchase?
3 days of the 31 pass every filter: 15 January (Friday), 20 January (Wednesday), 27 January (Wednesday). They are not evenly spread — the widest gap between two of them is 7 days. 6 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 vehicle purchase 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, vara 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 January 2027 carries 6 days on which one of them falls: 2 January (Swati), 10 January (Shravana), 11 January (Dhanishta), 12 January (Shatabhisha), 22 January (Punarvasu), 29 January (Swati).
