Vedic Muhurat & Panchang – Saturday, 31 October 2026
Krishna Paksha • Shashthi • Punarvasu nakshatra • Saturday
On Saturday, 31 October 2026 (Saturday, also called Shanivar), the moon is in Shashthi (day 6 of the waning moon), with the moon transiting Punarvasu nakshatra. The yoga is Siddha and the karana is Vanija.
The krishna paksha continues — neither a fast day nor a major festival tithi by default. The sixth tithi — auspicious for vows to Subramanya / Murugan; Skanda Sashti falls on a Shashthi in Karthigai. Punarvasu is considered movable and benign — good for travel and short trips.
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 (Shashthi), the nakshatra (Punarvasu) and the weekday (Saturday). For Saturday, 31 October 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 light/movable — favourable.
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.
