Vedic Muhurat & Panchang – Wednesday, 13 May 2026
Krishna Paksha • Dwadashi • Uttara Bhadrapada nakshatra • Wednesday
On Wednesday, 13 May 2026 (Wednesday, also called Budhvar), the moon is in Dwadashi (day 12 of the waning moon), with the moon transiting Uttara Bhadrapada nakshatra. The yoga is Vishkumbha and the karana is Kaulava.
The krishna paksha continues — neither a fast day nor a major festival tithi by default. The twelfth tithi — the day to break Ekadashi vrat (parana); generally favourable for charity. Uttara Bhadrapada is considered fixed — used for marriage and serious commitments.
Wednesday is ruled by Mercury and is favoured for study, writing, contracts and short trips.

How astrologers read this date
In Vedic muhurta practice, three pieces of information are checked first: the tithi (Dwadashi), the nakshatra (Uttara Bhadrapada) and the weekday (Wednesday). For Wednesday, 13 May 2026, that combination produces a routine day.
- Marriage muhurtham: the basic nakshatra–tithi check is favourable; verify lagna with an astrologer.
- House-warming (gruhapravesham): the nakshatra is favourable; choose a sunrise-to-Rahu-Kalam window.
- Vehicle purchase / new business: the weekday is supportive — avoid Rahu Kalam.
- Travel: the nakshatra is fixed/sharp — non-essential travel may be deferred.
The above is a quick rule-of-thumb based on classical muhurta tables. Regional traditions (Tamil, Kerala, Bengali, Maharashtrian) sometimes weigh things differently — for binding decisions, consult a qualified astrologer with your janma rashi and lagna.
