Gold Buying Muhurat in July 2026

• 1–13 July The Moon is in Purva Ashadha, Uttara Ashadha, Shravana, Dhanishta, Shatabhisha, Purva Bhadrapada, Uttara Bhadrapada, Revati, Ashwini, Bharani, Krittika, Rohini, Mrigashira, Ardra and Punarvasu, not Pushya.
• 16–31 July The Moon is in Ashlesha, Magha, Purva Phalguni, Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Chitra, Swati, Vishakha, Anuradha, Jyeshtha, Mula, Purva Ashadha, Uttara Ashadha, Shravana, Dhanishta and Shatabhisha, not Pushya.

• Where these rules come from: no text gives a sanskara rule for buying gold. The day the almanacs name for it is Pushya nakshatra — the one star held to bless a purchase whatever the weekday or tithi — and above all Guru Pushya, Pushya on a Thursday. This list is every Pushya window of the year; Akshaya Tritiya and Dhanteras, the two festival days named for gold, are listed beside it with their own windows.
• Weekday: any — this rule set does not look at the weekday.
• Nakshatra: the Moon in Pushya.
• Tithi: any — this rule set does not look at the tithi.
• Season: none. Pushya is taken in any month: Kharmas, Chaturmas and Guru or Shukra asta are not rules for a purchase here; only an adhika month is closed, as it is for every purchase on this site. Adhika Jyeshtha, an adhika month, runs from 17 May 2026 to 15 June 2026.
• Guru Pushya and Ravi Pushya: Pushya on a Thursday (Guru Pushya) or a Sunday (Ravi Pushya) is the most sought day for gold, and those rows are marked — 2 Guru Pushya and 6 Ravi Pushya days in 2026. The weekday is the Vedic one, which changes at sunrise, so a Pushya that begins on Wednesday night is a Wednesday row until Thursday's sunrise.
• Akshaya Tritiya and Dhanteras: the two festival days named for gold are tithi days, not Pushya days. Their windows are in their own table — the whole of Tritiya on Akshaya Tritiya, the good choghadiyas while Trayodashi runs on Dhanteras — computed by the festival pages' own engine.
• Pitru Paksha: a Pushya in the shraddha fortnight (26 September 2026 – 10 October 2026) is kept and marked — 2 rows in 2026. Traditions differ: many families buy nothing new in Pitru Paksha, while others hold that Pushya blesses a purchase even then.
• Pushya and a wedding: the star that blesses a purchase is not used for a marriage; the vivah list leaves Pushya out, by a separate rule.
• The day: sunrise to the next sunrise, for New Delhi. A day any closed period touches is left out whole; inside the days that remain, the muhurat is the time when every condition above holds at once, for at least 20 minutes.
• Not checked here: the buyer's own chart and Rahu Kaal on the day. Many families avoid Rahu Kaal for a purchase; the windows here do not cut it out, so check the day's Rahu Kaal for your city.
