Vedic Muhurat & Panchang – Thursday, 21 January 2027
Shukla Paksha • Chaturdashi • Punarvasu nakshatra • Thursday
On Thursday, 21 January 2027 (Thursday, also called Guruvar), the moon is in Chaturdashi (day 14 of the waxing moon), with the moon transiting Punarvasu nakshatra. The yoga is Vaidhriti and the karana is Vanija.
The shukla paksha continues — neither a fast day nor a major festival tithi by default. The fourteenth tithi — Krishna paksha Chaturdashi includes Maha Shivaratri (Phalguna / Maasi). Punarvasu is considered movable and benign — good for travel and short trips.
Thursday is ruled by Jupiter and is one of the most auspicious weekdays — favoured for marriage, religious functions and new ventures.

How astrologers read this date
In Vedic muhurta practice, three pieces of information are checked first: the tithi (Chaturdashi), the nakshatra (Punarvasu) and the weekday (Thursday). For Thursday, 21 January 2027, 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 supportive — avoid Rahu Kalam.
- 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.
