Vedic Muhurat & Panchang – Sunday, 8 November 2026
Krishna Paksha • Amavasya • Swati nakshatra • Sunday
On Sunday, 8 November 2026 (Sunday, also called Bhanuvar), the moon is in Amavasya (day 15 of the waning moon), with the moon transiting Swati nakshatra. The yoga is Ayushman and the karana is Shakuni.
This is a new-moon day (Amavasya) — celebrations are typically deferred; the day is used instead for ancestor rituals (tarpanam). The new-moon tithi, traditionally used for tarpanam (rituals for ancestors) and is generally avoided for celebratory events. Swati is considered movable — good for travel, contracts and trade.
Sunday is ruled by the Sun and traditionally favoured for government work, leadership and health-related decisions.

How astrologers read this date
In Vedic muhurta practice, three pieces of information are checked first: the tithi (Amavasya), the nakshatra (Swati) and the weekday (Sunday). For Sunday, 8 November 2026, that combination produces a lunar-extreme 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 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.
