Guru Pushya & Ravi Pushya 2026: Auspicious Days to Buy Gold & Start Ventures
Guru Pushya and Ravi Pushya 2026 dates: when Pushya nakshatra meets Thursday and Sunday, why these days suit buying gold and launches, and how to use them.
Pushya is widely held to be the most auspicious of the twenty-seven nakshatras for prosperity and new beginnings. When it lands on certain weekdays the effect is said to deepen: Pushya on a Thursday is Guru Pushya, and on a Sunday it is Ravi Pushya. Both are favoured for buying gold, starting a venture, a first sale, and committing money.
Guru Pushya and Ravi Pushya in 2026
Pushya occurs about once every twenty-seven days, so it falls thirteen times across 2026. The prized weekday alignments in 2026 are:
- Guru Pushya (Thursday): 21 May 2026.
- Ravi Pushya (Sunday): 4 January, 1 February and 1 November 2026.
On these days, traditional buyers favour gold, silver, vehicles and the first transaction of a new business.
How to use the day
The day alone is auspicious, but the hours still matter. Begin in an auspicious Choghadiya window, use the midday Abhijit if you need a clean window, and avoid Rahu Kaal. For a purchase tied to your own chart, a personal muhurat also weighs your Tara Bala and Chandra Bala.
