சனி, 9 மே, 2026 – வேத முகூர்த்தம்
Krishna Paksha • Ashtami • Shravana நட்சத்திரம்
On சனி, 9 மே, 2026 (Saturday, also called Shanivar), the moon is in Ashtami (day 8 of the waning moon), with the moon transiting Shravana nakshatra. The yoga is Shukla 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. Shravana is considered movable — good for learning, music and listening (Shravana = hearing).
Saturday is ruled by Saturn — mixed; used for long-term work, iron / heavy goods, and discipline-related commitments.

How astrologers read this date
In Vedic muhurta practice, three pieces of information are checked first: the tithi (Ashtami), the nakshatra (Shravana) and the weekday (Saturday). For சனி, 9 மே, 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 weekday (Saturday) is generally avoided.
- Vehicle purchase / new business: the weekday is mixed; pick a clear muhurta within Abhijit.
- 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.
