Unlucky Dates - Ashubh Tarikh based on Kundli Calculator
Frequently asked questions about Unlucky Dates
What makes a date unfavourable?
Its digits reduce to a number ruled by a planet that is a natural enemy of the rulers in your chart - your Moon sign lord, ascendant lord and birth star lord. Because it works on digit sums, the same dates recur every month, so the list stays fixed for you.
Should I avoid these dates entirely?
No, that would be unworkable and is not the intention. Use them as a light planning filter: where you have a free choice about when to start something significant, pick another day. Ordinary life on these dates goes on exactly as normal.
What if an important event falls on one?
Go ahead with it. A wedding, an exam or a court date is fixed by circumstances far weightier than a digit sum, and no classical source suggests otherwise. If you want reassurance, keep to your lucky colour and day where you can, and let it go at that.
Can a date be on both lists?
It cannot. A number that is already one of your ruling or Moolank numbers is never counted as unlucky - a favourable number always takes precedence. That rule is applied automatically, so the two lists are guaranteed not to overlap.
Is this astrology or numerology?
Both, combined. The planetary rulers come from your birth chart, and the mapping of planets to numbers and dates comes from Ank Jyotish. It is a popular hybrid rather than a classical Jyotish technique, and it deserves to be held more lightly than a dasha or transit reading. The dates that suit the same rulers are the lucky dates calculator; the weekday to pair with them is on the lucky day page, and a colour for those days is the lucky colour calculator.
What are unlucky dates (Ashubh Tarikh) in Vedic astrology?
Unlucky dates (Ashubh Tarikh) are days of the month whose reduced number is ruled by a natural enemy of your chart lords. The same dates repeat every month. A number that is already one of your own ruling or Moolank numbers is never counted as unlucky - a friendly number wins.
Sources are the Moon-sign lord, Lagna lord and Nakshatra lord and their enemies. Treat the list as a planning guide: keep starts off these dates when you can, and save the lucky ones for what matters. Exact time and city keep the Moon sign and Lagna right.
This is not a dosha in the Kundli. Favourable dates are lucky dates and the weekday is lucky day. Related picks include lucky metal.
