Guru Asta 2027: Jupiter Combust and Uday Dates
Guru is Asta once in 2027: from 18 August 2027 until it rises (Uday) on 13 September 2027, 25 days. Guru (Brihaspati), Jupiter, is the karaka of wisdom, dharma, teachers, children, wealth and a woman's marriage. Its transit through the houses from the Moon sign is read for the year's luck, and Guru Asta, about a month each year, stops weddings.

Asta depends on where you are: it begins when Jupiter can no longer be seen near the Sun at your location, so the dates can differ by a day or two between cities.
Why Guru Asta matters
A planet is Asta (combust) when it is so close to the Sun that it is lost in its glare. Guru Asta, also called Tara Asta or Tara Doob, is one of the main periods when no muhurat is given for weddings (vivah), griha pravesh, mundan, upanayana or starting new ventures. Muhurats resume once Jupiter is seen again (Uday).
Guru Asta 2027: questions
When is Guru Asta in 2027?
Guru is Asta once in 2027: from 18 August 2027 until it rises (Uday) on 13 September 2027, 25 days.
Can a wedding be held during Guru Asta?
Traditionally no. No vivah muhurat is given while Guru is Asta, and weddings resume after its Uday. The same applies to griha pravesh, mundan and upanayana.
Why do Guru Asta dates differ between panchangs?
Asta begins when Jupiter can no longer be seen near the Sun, which depends on the place and on the angle the panchang uses. These dates follow the visibility rule used by a leading published panchang, applied to your location, so another city or panchang can be a day or two different.
