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.
