What makes a Nakshatra “auspicious”?
Nakshatras are the 27 lunar mansions in Vedic astrology. Some are considered especially supportive for key life events—marriage, housewarming, travel, starting a business, or signing important agreements. “Auspicious” here simply means the stars tend to back your intent with smoother results.
Widely preferred Nakshatras for muhurta
- Rohini – growth, prosperity, beauty, creativity.
- Mrigashira – curiosity, learning, research, beginnings.
- Hasta – skill, craftsmanship, signing papers.
- Anuradha – friendship, devotion, long‑term bonds.
- Uttarashada – success, authority, lasting achievements.
- Revati – safe travel, completion, protection.
How to actually use them
Pick a clean day (no major doshas), then narrow to a supportive Nakshatra that matches your event. For example, weddings often prefer Rohini, Anuradha, Uttarashada or Revati. For launches and deals, Hasta and Uttarashada are excellent. Always consider tithi, yoga, karana, and your personal horoscope.
Pro tip
If a perfect Nakshatra isn’t available, choose the one that best aligns with your goal and avoid hours afflicted by Rahu Kalam or Yamaganda. When in doubt, consult a professional to tailor the muhurta to your chart.
