Anuradha Chandrashtama Days 2026-2027: Dates & Times

Chandrashtama is read two ways. By Janma Rasi, people born in Anuradha follow the Vrichigam Rasi window, when the Moon passes through the 8th sign from Vrichigam. Tamil daily panchangams also mark it by star: the day the Moon is in Ardra, the 17th star from Anuradha. This page lists both, for every month of 2026 and 2027.

Anuradha nakshatra, which falls under the Vrichigam Rasi used for its Chandrashtama dates

Anuradha sits in the Vrichigam Rasi, so the rasi window below is the Vrichigam one; the star-level day is the Moon in Ardra.

Anuradha Nature: Focused on friendship, cooperation, and maintaining long-term bonds.

Deity: Mitra

Short answer

Next time the Moon is in Anuradha: Tue, 10 Nov, 9:19 am – Wed, 11 Nov, 11:38 am IST. See today's nakshatra →

Ardra lies wholly inside Midhunam, the sign the Moon occupies during this rasi window. So for Anuradha the two methods never disagree: the star-level day always falls within the rasi window and narrows it from about two and a quarter days to about one.

Tarabalam for Anuradha

Tarabalam rates any day by the star the Moon is in, counted from Anuradha. The count repeats every nine stars, so each of the nine taras comes from three Moon stars. Check the day's star in any panchangam and read its tara below.

  1. Janma (not good): when the Moon is in Anuradha, Uttara Bhadrapada and Pushya; the Moon is back in your own star; keep the day light.
  2. Sampat (very good): when the Moon is in Jyeshtha, Revati and Ashlesha; wealth and gains.
  3. Vipat (bad): when the Moon is in Mula, Ashwini and Magha; obstacles and losses.
  4. Kshema (good): when the Moon is in Purva Ashadha, Bharani and Purva Phalguni; well-being and safety.
  5. Pratyak (not good): when the Moon is in Uttara Ashadha, Krittika and Uttara Phalguni; opposition and friction.
  6. Sadhaka (very good): when the Moon is in Shravana, Rohini and Hasta; achievement; good for starting work.
  7. Naidhana (totally bad): when the Moon is in Dhanishta, Mrigashira and Chitra; the weakest tara; avoid new beginnings.
  8. Mitra (good): when the Moon is in Shatabhisha, Ardra and Swati; friendship and support.
  9. Parama Mitra (good): when the Moon is in Purva Bhadrapada, Punarvasu and Vishakha; the closest support.

During the rasi Chandrashtama window the tara for Anuradha is Naidhana, Mitra, Parama Mitra, the same every month.

How these times are calculated

All times are in IST, computed from the Moon's sidereal position with the Lahiri ayanamsa: the Thirukanitha method, the same basis Drik Panchang uses. Vakya panchangams, which many Tamil calendars still print, can differ by around 30 minutes at a star change. Days here run midnight to midnight; panchangams that start the day at sunrise show early-morning changes under the previous date.

Anuradha Chandrashtama: common questions

Is Anuradha's Chandrashtama the same as Vishakha's?

By rasi, yes: both follow the Vrichigam Rasi window. By star, no: Tamil panchangams list Anuradha when the Moon is in Ardra and Vishakha when it is in Mrigashira, so their star-level days fall about a day apart inside or next to that window.

Why does my calendar show Anuradha under Chandrashtama on only one day?

Daily panchangams list Chandrashtama by star: the day's entry names the stars whose 17th star the Moon is in. Anuradha appears while the Moon is in Ardra, about a day, whereas the Vrichigam Rasi window lasts about two and a quarter days.

Which Moon stars are weakest for Anuradha?

Naidhana tara, the weakest, comes when the Moon is in Dhanishta, Mrigashira and Chitra. Vipat (Mula, Ashwini and Magha) and Pratyak (Uttara Ashadha, Krittika and Uttara Phalguni) are also unfavourable for starting new work.

Other stars of Vrichigam Rasi
