Gold Buying Muhurat 2026: November and December Dates

Two views, two lists

The books give main rules and further cautions for buying gold, so this page gives two lists. The calendar view follows the books' main rules for buying gold. The strict view starts from the same windows and also applies no Monday, Tuesday or Saturday, no day when the Sun and Jupiter share a sign (gurvaditya) and 16 ghatis (6 h 24 min) on either side of each sankranti. A strict window always lies inside a calendar window, so the strict list is a shorter version of the same list, never a different one.

Buying gold needs no season in the rules these lists follow: Simhastha Guru, the combustion of Venus and Jupiter, Kharmas and Chaturmas are applied to weddings, a new home and the samskaras, not to a purchase. So here the strict view adds the book's rules for putting on new gold: it closes 12 days the calendar view keeps. Kharmas 2026–27 explains which of those periods are customs for a purchase.

Which list to follow is a family matter. If your family keeps the books strictly, use the strict view; if it keeps their main rules, use the calendar view. Why muhurat dates differ lists the other reasons two calendars disagree.

The almanac this site checks its calendar views against publishes no year list for buying gold, so both views apply the book's rules for buying and for wearing gold directly, and the customs are named as customs. The days themselves are the panchang's: the Guru-Pushya and Ravi-Pushya days come from the Moon's nakshatra and the weekday, and Dhanteras and Akshaya Tritiya from the festival calendar — the same panchang whose festival dates agree day for day with a widely used almanac's from October 2026 to December 2027.

Closed periods for buying gold in 2026

No season rules out buying gold in these lists: only the day of a sankranti (in the strict view, its hours) and the day of an eclipse close it, as the rules below say. The periods families ask about follow with their dates, for a family that keeps them.

Sankrantis: the Sun's entry into each sign

The strict view avoids 16 ghatis (6 h 24 min) on either side of the moment the Sun enters a sign (B.V. Raman, Muhurtha). The sankrantis of this range at New Delhi, in IST:

• Vrishchika (Scorpio): the Sun enters at 16 Nov 2026, 19:43; avoided 16 Nov 2026, 13:19 – 17 Nov 2026, 02:07
• Dhanu (Sagittarius): the Sun enters at 16 Dec 2026, 10:25; avoided 16 Dec 2026, 04:01–16:49

Neither list rules out buying gold for these periods at New Delhi. The books' lists of acts kept away from Simhastha, combustion and Kharmas do not name a purchase; Chaturmas and Holashtak are not applied to one either. If your family keeps any of them, skip those dates (IST):

• Simhastha Guru (Jupiter in Magha or the first pada of Purva Phalguni): 31 Oct 2026, 12:02 – 25 Jan 2027, 01:31 — this list keeps 26 days in it (the month list names them)
• Kharmas: 16 Dec 2026, 10:25 – 14 Jan 2027, 21:10 — this list keeps 7 days in it: 16, 19, 20, 22, 25, 30 and 31 December
• Chaturmas: 24 Jul 2026, 09:13 – 21 Nov 2026, 06:31 — this list keeps 8 days in it: 1, 6, 7, 10, 11, 15, 16 and 20 November

How these dates are chosen

• The 26 days on this page follow the rules of the full Gold Buying Muhurat 2027 list, which sets out each rule with its source: how the 2027 gold buying dates are chosen.
• In November and December 2026 at New Delhi, the windows fall in Hasta (4 days), Pushya (3 days), Chitra (3 days), Rohini (2 days), Punarvasu (2 days), Uttara Phalguni (2 days), Swati (2 days), Anuradha (2 days), Uttara Ashadha (2 days), Shravana (2 days), Dhanishtha (2 days), Revati (2 days), Ashwini (1 day), Shatabhisha (1 day) and Uttara Bhadrapada (1 day).
• In short, for buying gold or jewellery: a buying star or a star for wearing gold, never a selling star (Muhurta Chintamani, Nakshatra prakarana), no rikta tithi or Amavasya, and daylight; no Bhadra; no Vyatipata or Vaidhriti and the opening ghatis of the other bad yogas cut; the gandanta quarters and Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda and Gulika cut out; at least one ghati (24 minutes) left. Never on the day of an eclipse (Garga, quoted in Muhurta Chintamani's Samskara prakarana: no auspicious act then, even at its due time). An eclipse counts wherever on Earth it is seen.

What the strict view adds

• For buying gold, the strict view adds no Monday, Tuesday or Saturday, no day when the Sun and Jupiter share a sign (gurvaditya) and 16 ghatis (6 h 24 min) on either side of each sankranti — each set out on the Gold Buying Muhurat 2027 page.

What these lists leave to you

• These lists do not check the lagna, or your own stars; the Gold Buying Muhurat 2027 page lists what is left to you.

For your city or your own dates

A nakshatra or tithi changes at the same moment everywhere, but each place has its own sunrise, sunset and Rahu Kalam, so another city's windows start and end a few minutes apart, and a day near a change can drop out or come in. The muhurat finder computes both views of the gold buying list for your city and your own dates, up to three months at a time, and its results offer the personal check below. Start from a month:

A personal muhurat from the kundli

A list for everyone cannot check your own stars. Muhurta Chintamani's Gochara prakarana adds two personal checks: Tara Bala, the day's nakshatra counted from the birth nakshatra, and Chandra Bala, the Moon's sign counted from the birth Moon sign. A day that is good in general can be weak for one person.

The personal gold buying muhurat reads your saved kundli: each day's Tara Bala and Chandra Bala, a Muhurat Patra (PDF) and reminders. 101 coins for the event: before you pay you see how many days are open before your chart is checked, and if none passes your chart, nothing is charged. Or 50 coins to check one date, charged for its answer, whether the date passes or not.

Or ask the AI astrologer about one date from this list: it reads the day for the place saved in your kundli and names the rule behind its answer.
