புதன், 22 ஏப்ரல், 2026 – வேத முகூர்த்தம்
Shukla Paksha • Shashthi • Ardra நட்சத்திரம்
On புதன், 22 ஏப்ரல், 2026 (Wednesday, also called Budhvar), the moon is in Shashthi (day 6 of the waxing moon), with the moon transiting Ardra nakshatra. The yoga is Atiganda 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. Ardra is considered sharp — generally avoided for new starts; used for research and debugging.
Wednesday is ruled by Mercury and is favoured for study, writing, contracts and short trips.

How astrologers read this date
In Vedic muhurta practice, three pieces of information are checked first: the tithi (Shashthi), the nakshatra (Ardra) and the weekday (Wednesday). For புதன், 22 ஏப்ரல், 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 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.
