This page applies this app's business-launch muhurat rules to one month, November 2026. The Muhurat calculator and the Muhurat feature run an engine that scores three 90-minute windows a day, at 06:40, 09:15 and 15:30 IST, so November has 90. Of those, 33 have the Moon in a nakshatra the engine lists for a business launch, 22 overlap Rahu Kaal, and 4 pass all five general rules.
Business launch windows in November 2026 that pass every general rule
| Date | Window (IST) | Moon nakshatra | Tithi, paksha |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wednesday 11 November 2026 | 6:40 AM to 8:10 AM | Anuradha | 2, Shukla |
| Wednesday 11 November 2026 | 9:15 AM to 10:45 AM | Anuradha | 2, Shukla |
| Monday 16 November 2026 | 9:15 AM to 10:45 AM | Shravana | 7, Shukla |
| Monday 16 November 2026 | 3:30 PM to 5:00 PM | Shravana | 7, Shukla |
No other window passes every rule. Another 22 windows miss by exactly one factor:
| The one factor that fails | Windows in November 2026 (IST) |
|---|---|
| Nakshatra not on the list: 9 | 9 Nov, 3:30 PM; 11 Nov, 3:30 PM; 12 Nov, all three; 19 Nov, 9:15 AM and 3:30 PM; 20 Nov, 6:40 AM and 3:30 PM |
| Dark half (Krishna paksha): 8 | 5 Nov, all three; 6 Nov, 6:40 AM and 3:30 PM; 25 Nov, all three |
| Weekday not on the list: 4 | 15 Nov, 6:40 and 9:15 AM; 22 Nov, 6:40 and 9:15 AM |
| Overlaps Rahu Kaal: 1 | 16 Nov, 6:40 AM |
| Tithi on the avoided list: 0 | None |
How the days are chosen: the five general rules
A window "passes every rule" when all five are favourable: the Moon's nakshatra, tithi and paksha at the window's start, Rahu Kaal and the weekday, the same for every reader.
| Rule | On the list for a business launch in this engine | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| Moon nakshatra | Ashwini, Rohini, Pushya, Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Chitra, Anuradha, Uttara Ashadha, Shravana or Dhanishta | The engine's list; no text in the library holds it. |
| Tithi | Not the 4th, 8th, 9th or 14th tithi of either half (engine count 1 to 30: 4, 8, 9, 14 and 19, 23, 24, 29) | The engine's list. Its comment calls 4, 9, 14 (and 19, 24, 29) the Rikta tithis and 8 and 23 Ashtami, and says no source book lists tithis to avoid. BPHS Ch. 89 Sl. 1-7 asks for no Rikta-Bhadra Dosha but does not say which tithis are Rikta. |
| Paksha | Shukla, the waxing Moon | BPHS Ch. 3 Sl. 11 and Saravali Ch. 4 Sl. 9 call the waning Moon a malefic; Saravali Ch. 4 Sl. 36 has benefics strong in the bright half. Reading that as good for a beginning is the engine's step. |
| Weekday | Monday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday | The engine's list; no citation. |
| Rahu Kaal | The window does not overlap it | The engine's weekday table, after Drik Panchang as its comment records. No text in the library mentions Rahu Kaal. |
That counts factors on the engine's lists; it is not the engine's score and not a ruling from any text. BPHS Ch. 89 Sl. 1-7, the one passage that sets general conditions for a muhurta, is written for a different rite and names no tithi or nakshatra. Two personal factors, the Moon's house from your ascendant and your Personal Day number, are added only in the calculator and the in-app feature; its business-launch house list (1, 2, 3, 10, 11) cites no book either.
What the texts say about starting a business, and the junction check
A search of BPHS, Saravali, Daivajna Vallabha, the Bhrigu Sutras and Advanced Predictive Astrology found no muhurat rule, and no list of nakshatras, tithis or weekdays, for starting a business. This page cites none; the engine's lists stand alone.
Two nearby texts are not rules for these windows. Saravali Ch. 7 Sl. 5-6 says the good effects of a bhava can be better reaped if an enterprise relating to it starts on the weekday, hora, month or year ruled by that bhava's lord. That works chart by chart; the engine's weekday list is the same for everyone. BPHS Ch. 11 lists what houses signify, not when to act: trade under the 7th (Sl. 8) and profession under the 10th (Sl. 11). The engine's launch list leaves the 7th out.
The other text is gandanta. BPHS Ch. 92 Sl. 1 reads birth, travel and auspicious functions such as marriage at a junction of tithis, nakshatras or lagnas as inauspicious; this site does not repeat the outcome it names. A launch is not among its examples, so the check below is a fact about the windows, not a rule for one. Sl. 2 puts tithi junctions at the last two ghatikas of tithis 5, 10, 15 and the first two of 1, 6, 11, which this page reads within each half (engine count: 20, 25, 30 and 16, 21, 26). Sl. 3 puts nakshatra junctions between Revati and Ashwini, Ashlesha and Magha, Jyeshtha and Mula. A ghati is 24 minutes (Ch. 5 Sl. 6-8), so two is 48. The engine tests none of this, though Ashwini is on its list.
The four windows keep one nakshatra and one tithi throughout, and none overlaps or comes within an hour of a junction span. Three listed near misses do: 12 November at 3:30 PM opens 22 minutes after Mula's two-ghatika span ends (about 15:08 IST), but inside Sl. 5's wider Abhukta Mula span (Mula's first eight ghatikas, to about 17:32); 20 November at 6:40 AM overlaps two tithi spans (06:30 to 08:06); 22 November at 6:40 AM opens four minutes before Ashwini's span ends (06:44). A panchang computed for your city can place those changes some minutes differently, which is worth checking for a window this close.
Worked example: the same month ranked for one reference chart
With the two personal factors added, this app's engine ranks the month for a fixed reference chart (1985-01-01 06:00 IST, New Delhi, 28.6139 N, 77.2090 E); these five are that chart's alone. The engine labels each Excellent, a band that starts at a score of 78.
| Score | Window (IST) | The engine's reasons, shortened | General rule missed |
|---|---|---|---|
| 89 | Monday 16 November, 3:30 PM | Shravana; Moon 3rd house; Shukla; Personal Day 3 | None |
| 89 | Monday 16 November, 9:15 AM | Same as the row above | None |
| 81 | Wednesday 11 November, 9:15 AM | Anuradha; Moon 1st house; Shukla | None |
| 81 | Wednesday 11 November, 6:40 AM | Same as the row above | None |
| 78 | Thursday 5 November, 3:30 PM | Uttara Phalguni; Moon 11th house; Personal Day 1 | Dark half |
All four windows that pass every rule lead this chart's list. The 16 November pair scores above the 11 November pair: both have the Moon in a house on the engine's list (the 3rd and the 1st), so the house does not separate them, but only 16 November adds a Personal Day line. The 5 November window misses the dark-half rule yet ranks fifth, with the Moon in this chart's 11th house and Personal Day 1 adding support: the filter and the score answer different questions.
Limits: what these windows cannot tell you
- They are not a verdict on any venture: a launch involves a market, money, people and paperwork, and the filter tests none of them.
- Three windows a day is a sample: a nakshatra or tithi changes inside the 90 minutes in 12 of the 90. The panchang and Choghadiya calculators divide the whole day.
- Times are IST, with the Moon and tithi read at each window's start and Rahu Kaal on a fixed 06:00 to 18:00 grid, so a sunrise-based panchang can differ; the Rahu Kaal calculator uses real local sunrise from a place.
- No window, whether it passes every rule or not, is a promise about a business. The Muhurat calculator adds your chart's personal factors for the next 30 days; the December 2026 page applies these rules to the next month.
- Why does no window from 17 to 30 November pass every rule?
- Nine windows in that stretch miss by exactly one rule: 19 and 20 November on the nakshatra list, 22 November on the weekday (a Sunday), 25 November in the dark half. The rest miss two or more.
- Why is 6:40 AM on 16 November not on the list when the other two windows that day are?
- Monday's Rahu Kaal on the engine's fixed grid is 07:30 to 09:00. The 6:40 AM window overlaps it; the 9:15 AM window starts after it ends. The Rahu Kaal calculator gives real hours for your city.
- Does a window that passes every rule guarantee a business will do well?
- No. It means five factors are on the favourable side of this app's lists; this app does not forecast how a business will go from a date.
- Should I use the day I register the business or the day I open it?
- No text cited here says which counts, and the calculator does not ask: it ranks sampled windows over the 30 days from the day you use it.

What it needs
Date, time and place + What the muhurat is for
That is more than this article asks for - it only ever takes a date, and sometimes a time, and never a name or a birth place. So this one runs on its own page, which asks for exactly what it needs and stores none of it.
