வெள்ளி, 16 அக்டோபர், 2026 – வேத முகூர்த்தம்
Shukla Paksha • Shashthi • Mula நட்சத்திரம்
On வெள்ளி, 16 அக்டோபர், 2026 (Friday, also called Shukravar), the moon is in Shashthi (day 6 of the waxing moon), with the moon transiting Mula nakshatra. The yoga is Shobhana and the karana is Kaulava.
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. Mula is considered sharp — avoided for marriage and house-warming; used for dismantling work.
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 (Shashthi), the nakshatra (Mula) and the weekday (Friday). For வெள்ளி, 16 அக்டோபர், 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 nakshatra is acceptable but not classically preferred.
- Vehicle purchase / new business: the weekday is supportive — avoid Rahu Kalam.
- 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.
