🖋️ Which day is auspicious for signing an important contract or deal?
महत्वपूर्ण अनुबंध / समझौते पर हस्ताक्षर का शुभ दिन • computed from live planetary positions
Sign contracts on a fixed or gentle nakshatra — Rohini, Anuradha, Uttara Phalguni or Shravana — on a favourable tithi, ideally Thursday. Avoid Tuesday (disputes), Vishti karana, Mercury-retrograde weeks for open-ended agreements, and always your own Chandrashtama.

How this muhurta is determined
A signature binds the future, so the muhurta looks for permanence and goodwill: fixed nakshatras (Rohini, the Uttaras) for durability, Anuradha for friendship between parties, Shravana for terms honestly heard. Thursday adds Jupiter's fairness; Wednesday sharpens the drafting itself.
Tuesday signings are the classic source of contested clauses — Mars turns partners into rivals. Vishti karana at the hour of signing is likewise avoided. If a date is externally forced, sign inside Abhijit muhurta or a Shubh Choghadiya and read everything twice.
For two-party deals, the strongest practice is to avoid BOTH signatories' Chandrashtama days — a deal signed on either party's weakest Moon tends to be renegotiated.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I avoid signing during Mercury retrograde?
Vedic muhurta weighs the panchang more than retrogrades, but Mercury does rule documents — for long-term or ambiguous agreements many astrologers add a caution during Mercury's retrograde weeks. Prioritise the tithi, nakshatra and your chandrabal first.
What time of day is best for signing?
Abhijit muhurta (the ~48 minutes around local noon) is the classic all-clear window for signatures, or any Shubh, Labh or Amrit Choghadiya outside Rahu Kaal.
