Vedic Muhurat & Panchang – Monday, 2 November 2026
Krishna Paksha • Ashtami • Ashlesha nakshatra • Monday
On Monday, 2 November 2026 (Monday, also called Somavar), the moon is in Ashtami (day 8 of the waning moon), with the moon transiting Ashlesha nakshatra. The yoga is Shubha and the karana is Kaulava.
The krishna paksha continues — neither a fast day nor a major festival tithi by default. The eighth tithi — Krishna Janmashtami falls on Krishna paksha Ashtami in Bhadrapada / Avani; Durga is also worshipped. Ashlesha is considered sharp — avoided for marriage and major launches.
Monday is ruled by the Moon and traditionally favoured for water-related work, mother-related matters and emotional decisions.

How astrologers read this date
In Vedic muhurta practice, three pieces of information are checked first: the tithi (Ashtami), the nakshatra (Ashlesha) and the weekday (Monday). For Monday, 2 November 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 nakshatra is acceptable but not classically preferred.
- 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.
