Vedic Muhurat & Panchang – Friday, 29 January 2027
Krishna Paksha • Ashtami • Swati nakshatra • Friday
On Friday, 29 January 2027 (Friday, also called Shukravar), the moon is in Ashtami (day 8 of the waning moon), with the moon transiting Swati nakshatra. The yoga is Shula and the karana is Balava.
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. Swati is considered movable — good for travel, contracts and trade.
Friday is ruled by Venus and is favoured for marriage, vehicle purchases, jewellery and creative work.

How astrologers read this date
In Vedic muhurta practice, three pieces of information are checked first: the tithi (Ashtami), the nakshatra (Swati) and the weekday (Friday). For Friday, 29 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.
