September 26, 2026: Auspicious Timings and Planetary Positions for the Day

Saturday, September 26, 2026, falls on the Purnima (full moon) tithi in the Hindu lunar month of Bhadrapada during the Shukla Paksha (waxing phase). The Poorva Bhadrapada nakshatra (lunar mansion) will prevail until 10:18 p.m., after which the Pratipada tithi begins.

According to astrological calculations, the Abhijit muhurat—considered the most auspicious time for initiating important activities—will be observable from 11:48 a.m. to 12:36 p.m. Conversely, the Rahu Kaal, regarded as an inauspicious period for beginning new ventures, will extend from 9:12 a.m. to 10:42 a.m. The eastern direction is marked as the Disha Shool (directional affliction) for the day.

Astrologically, the moon will be positioned in Pisces while the sun occupies Virgo. This full moon day holds particular significance as it coincides with Pitru Paksha—the fortnight dedicated to ancestral remembrance in the Hindu calendar—making it an important date for performing shraddha rituals and paying homage to deceased ancestors.

Devotees planning ceremonies or auspicious undertakings are advised to consult the timing guidelines to align their activities with favorable planetary conditions.
