Vedic Muhurat & Panchang – Tuesday, 15 December 2026
Shukla Paksha • Shashthi • Shatabhisha nakshatra • Tuesday
On Tuesday, 15 December 2026 (Tuesday, also called Mangalvar), the moon is in Shashthi (day 6 of the waxing moon), with the moon transiting Shatabhisha nakshatra. The yoga is Vajra and the karana is Taitila.
The shukla 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. Shatabhisha is considered movable — used for medical treatment; mixed otherwise.
Tuesday is ruled by Mars and is generally avoided for soft beginnings; it is used for surgery, sports and disputes.

How astrologers read this date
In Vedic muhurta practice, three pieces of information are checked first: the tithi (Shashthi), the nakshatra (Shatabhisha) and the weekday (Tuesday). For Tuesday, 15 December 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 (Tuesday) 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.
