Signing a Lease Muhurat Dates 2026 — month by month किरायानामा

Every signing a lease date in 2026 that clears the classical panchang tests — 62 in total, grouped by month. The rules being applied, and the reasoning behind them, are set out on the Signing a Lease muhurat hub.

A lease is a bond with an expiry date, and that single fact separates its timing from a property purchase. Where a sale deed wants the fixed nakshatras because permanence is the goal, a tenancy wants a mixture: the fixed stars where the lease is long and you intend to stay, the movable ones — Punarvasu, Swati, Shravana, Dhanishta, Shatabhisha — where it is short and you expect to move on. Both are listed below. Thursday and Friday carry the act, Jupiter for the lawfulness of the agreement and Venus for the comfort of the dwelling, and Wednesday serves where the lease is commercial rather than residential.

Scanned 365 days of 2026 at New Delhi sunrise · 62 clear every classical bar for this occasion.

These are panchang-shortlisted dates, not a personal verdict. Each date below clears the classical tithi, vara, nakshatra, yoga and karana tests for this occasion, computed with a Lahiri sidereal ephemeris at New Delhi sunrise. The lagna rising at the hour you actually choose, your own birth chart (Chandra bala, running dasha, any dosha) and the day’s Rahu Kaal are NOT checked here — that layer only exists once a date is run against a real chart on the muhurat finder or with Soma.

What 2026 actually looks like for signing a lease

The 365-day scan of 2026 produces 62 dates for signing a lease — 24 rated Excellent and 38 rated Good — spread across 12 of the twelve months. The first falls on 1 January 2026 (Shukla Trayodashi, Rohini) and the last on 31 December 2026 (Krishna Ashtami, Hasta). 2027 yields 61, so 2026 is the more open of the two by 1 date. The difference is not preference: it is where that year's barred solar months, combustion windows and lunar boundaries happen to fall.

September is the richest month of 2026 for this act with 8 dates, and October the thinnest open month with 2. No month of this year is completely shut.

This occasion carries no solar-month bar and no combustion bar, so nothing closes a whole season of 2026 at once. What thins the list instead is the day-level tests, whose 2026 tally is in the table below.

The longest run of 2026 with no qualifying date in it is 27 days, from 1 January 2026 to 28 January 2026. If your own window falls inside it, the honest answer is that this year has nothing to offer there and the adjacent year is the place to look.

Which stars and weekdays carried 2026's dates

The shortlist above is not spread evenly. These are the actual counts from 2026's own qualifying set — a different set from the adjacent year's, so a star that dominates one year can be almost absent in the next simply because of where the Moon's returns fall against the barred windows.

Stars carrying the most dates: Hasta (), Rohini (), Uttara Bhadrapada (), Swati (), Punarvasu (), and 12 more.

Weekdays: Thursday (13×), Wednesday (13×), Friday (13×), Saturday (10×), Monday (), and 1 more.

Tithis: Trayodashi (), Dvitiya (), Dashami (), Panchami (), Pratipada (), and 7 more.

All 11 of this act's favoured stars carried at least one date in 2026, which is unusual: in most years two or three of them fall only on days some other test has already closed.

Why the other 303 days of 2026 did not make the list

Nothing above is a shortage of data: every rejected day was rejected by a named classical test, and in 2026 the single biggest was Rikta tithi, which alone accounted for 73 days — 20.0% of the year, ahead of barred nitya yoga on 67. The tests themselves are set out on the Signing a Lease hub; the tally below is 2026's alone, because the bars sit on different dates each year.

Where 2026's signing a lease dates part company with the neighbouring rites

Adjacent rites share most of their classical tests, so their shortlists overlap; the same 365 sunrises were therefore scored a second time against each neighbour's own profile, and every difference below carries that rite's own reason.

Of the 3 rites compared, Griha Pravesh's 2026 calendar sits furthest from this one — 55 days on which exactly one of the two is open — and Property Purchase's closest, at 30. If one visit is to carry two of these rites, the shared column is where a day that serves both will be.

Why do movable nakshatras suit a lease when they would be wrong for a purchase?

Because you want the arrangement to end cleanly. The Chara group governs things that move on, and a tenancy is designed to. Signing a short lease under a strongly fixed star is the classical recipe for a tenancy that becomes difficult to exit — an outcome the tradition treats as a mismatch between the act and the star rather than as bad luck.

Frequently asked questions about signing a lease in 2026

How many signing a lease dates are there in 2026?

62 — 24 rated Excellent and 38 rated Good, out of 365 days scored. They fall across 12 of the twelve months, the first on 1 January 2026 and the last on 31 December 2026. September is the richest single month with 8.

Should I time the signature or the day I get the keys?

The signature is the act that creates the obligation, so that is the one this page times. Taking possession of a residence is a separate act with its own rules — closer to griha pravesh than to a contract — and a short lease rarely justifies a full entry ceremony, but the fixed-nakshatra preference for moving in still applies.

Can the same 2026 date serve both signing a lease and griha pravesh?

Usually, but not always. Of the 7 griha pravesh dates in 2026, 7 are also on this page; 55 days are open for signing a lease and shut for griha pravesh, and 0 the other way round. 1 January 2026 is a signing a lease date and not a griha pravesh one, because there Kharmas, or Chaturmas (approximated by the Sun's transit of Cancer–Libra). Both lists are scored from the same sunrises, so a date on both has cleared both sets of bars — what neither list can tell you is whether one day can carry two rites in your family's practice, which is a question for the priest conducting them.

How these signing a lease dates were computed

For 2026 specifically that meant scoring 365 sunrises and keeping 62 of them, with Rikta tithi doing the most work of any single bar — 73 days of 2026. The earliest date it left standing is 1 January 2026 and the latest 31 December 2026. Nothing dropped is left implicit: the reason for each rejection is named in the tally above.

Tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana are read at sunrise in New Delhi from a Lahiri sidereal ephemeris; the Sun's sidereal sign drives the solar-month exclusions and the Sun–Venus and Sun–Jupiter separations drive the asta (combustion) bars.

The tests are Signing a Lease's own, listed in full on the Signing a Lease hub: 11 of the twenty-seven nakshatras carry its star bonus, 9 of the fifteen tithis its tithi bonus, and 3 weekday lords its weekday bonus. A waxing-fortnight day scores one point more. Across 2026's 365 sunrises those three were met on 151, 220 and 157 days, and 62 days cleared every bar and still scored 6 or better. Beyond the bars every act on this site carries, signing a lease additionally rules out Tuesday as a weekday. Where a family practice differs from what is written here, the family practice governs.
