Marriage Nakshatras After the 2024 Lists

A preferred nakshatra under a rikta tithi, the 4th, 9th, or 14th, is not taken. The same star during Bhadra is not taken. Venus or Jupiter combust, too close to the Sun, is a standard ban on the wedding day, because those two are the marriage benefics. No orb is printed here. Regional panchangs sometimes add Pushya or Chitra and sometimes hesitate over Mula. Treat the eleven as the core set, and let the family panchang add or drop one. Do not treat a 2024 PDF as that panchang.

The day's Moon can be in Hasta, a preferred star, while both 7th lords are in the 12th and the antardasha is the 12th lord. That is an exit period wearing a good nakshatra. Read both birth charts first. If the 7th lord or Venus is running, the star list is worth using. If Saturn's aspect is only a delay and the period has finally arrived, the star list is how you pick the day inside the period. The list cannot create the period.

The lagna of the ceremony should be fixed if you can choose it: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, or Aquarius. The vara runs from sunrise. A muhurta after sunset still belongs to that morning's weekday. The city of the wedding sets the lagna, with daylight saving if the city observes it. India is one zone, Asia/Kolkata, with no such switch. Discard every civil date from 2024. Keep the nakshatra, the tithi ban, and the fixed lagna.
