Unlucky Dates - Ashubh Tarikh based on Kundli Calculator
What are unlucky dates (Ashubh Tarikh) in Vedic astrology?
Your unlucky dates are the dates of the month that are least favourable for you. In Vedic numerology (Ank Jyotish) each single-digit number is ruled by a planet — Sun 1, Moon 2, Jupiter 3, Rahu 4, Mercury 5, Venus 6, Ketu 7, Saturn 8 and Mars 9. A calendar date works against you when its digits add up to a number ruled by a planet that is a natural enemy of the rulers of your chart, so the same dates repeat in every month of every year (for example, the 6th, 15th and 24th are number 6 / Venus dates).
How your dates to avoid come from the Kundli
- Moon sign (Janma Rashi) lord — its enemy planets give your primary dates to avoid.
- Ascendant (Lagna) lord — supports the overall reading.
- Birth star (Nakshatra) lord — the ruling Vimshottari planet and its enemies.
A number that is already one of your own favourable (ruling or Moolank) numbers is never counted as unlucky — a good number always wins. Use this as a planning guide: avoid starting important work on these dates, and keep your lucky dates for the things that matter most. Enter your exact birth time and pick the city from the dropdown so the Moon sign and Ascendant are accurate.
