Vedic Muhurat & Panchang – Tuesday, 22 December 2026
Shukla Paksha • Trayodashi • Rohini nakshatra • Tuesday
On Tuesday, 22 December 2026 (Tuesday, also called Mangalvar), the moon is in Trayodashi (day 13 of the waxing moon), with the moon transiting Rohini nakshatra. The yoga is Sadhya and the karana is Taitila.
Trayodashi carries Pradosham — twilight is reserved for Shiva worship at temples. The thirteenth tithi — Pradosham falls on this tithi and is used for Shiva worship at twilight. Rohini is considered fixed and very auspicious — widely used for marriage muhurthams and house-warming.
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 (Trayodashi), the nakshatra (Rohini) and the weekday (Tuesday). For Tuesday, 22 December 2026, that combination produces a routine day.
- Marriage muhurtham: the basic nakshatra–tithi check is favourable; verify lagna with an astrologer.
- 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.
