புதன், 12 ஆகஸ்ட், 2026 – வேத முகூர்த்தம்
Krishna Paksha • Amavasya • Ashlesha நட்சத்திரம்
On புதன், 12 ஆகஸ்ட், 2026 (Wednesday, also called Budhvar), the moon is in Amavasya (day 15 of the waning moon), with the moon transiting Ashlesha nakshatra. The yoga is Vyatipata and the karana is Chatushpada.
This is a new-moon day (Amavasya) — celebrations are typically deferred; the day is used instead for ancestor rituals (tarpanam). The new-moon tithi, traditionally used for tarpanam (rituals for ancestors) and is generally avoided for celebratory events. Ashlesha is considered sharp — avoided for marriage and major launches.
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 (Amavasya), the nakshatra (Ashlesha) and the weekday (Wednesday). For புதன், 12 ஆகஸ்ட், 2026, that combination produces a lunar-extreme 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.
