Vedic Muhurat & Panchang – Saturday, 1 August 2026
Krishna Paksha • Tritiya • Shatabhisha nakshatra • Saturday
On Saturday, 1 August 2026 (Saturday, also called Shanivar), the moon is in Tritiya (day 3 of the waning moon), with the moon transiting Shatabhisha nakshatra. The yoga is Shobhana and the karana is Vishti.
The krishna paksha continues — neither a fast day nor a major festival tithi by default. The third tithi — practitioners often use it for routine work and study; not a heavyweight muhurtam day. Shatabhisha is considered movable — used for medical treatment; mixed otherwise.
Saturday is ruled by Saturn — mixed; used for long-term work, iron / heavy goods, and discipline-related commitments.

How astrologers read this date
In Vedic muhurta practice, three pieces of information are checked first: the tithi (Tritiya), the nakshatra (Shatabhisha) and the weekday (Saturday). For Saturday, 1 August 2026, that combination produces a routine day.
- Marriage muhurtham: the basic check is not favourable on this date; consult an astrologer for a different date.
- House-warming (gruhapravesham): the weekday (Saturday) is generally avoided.
- Vehicle purchase / new business: the weekday is mixed; pick a clear muhurta within Abhijit.
- 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.
