Panchak 2026 - Panchak January to December 2026
Panchak is a special period in astrology when the Moon passes through five constellations – Dhanishtha, Shatabhisha, Purvabhadrapada, Uttarabhadrapada, and Revati. This group of five constellations is called Panchak. This period lasts approximately five days and occurs every month. Panchak is considered extremely important in the Hindu calendar and astrology. During this period, the planetary positions are such that the influence of auspicious planets diminishes and the influence of inauspicious planets increases. Therefore, certain actions performed during this period may have adverse consequences.
Why is Panchak considered inauspicious?
According to religious beliefs, certain negative energies are activated during the Panchak period. It is said that certain actions performed during this period may cause suffering or loss in the life of an individual or family. Therefore, astrologers advise caution and postponing auspicious tasks during this period.
What actions should be avoided during Panchak?
Certain activities are considered prohibited during Panchak—such as roofing a house or beginning construction, performing funeral rites, gathering wood or fuel, buying a new home or starting a new job, and traveling south. These activities increase the risk of accident or loss.
Significance of Panchak
The word Panchak means five, and it refers to the five-day period when the Moon transits through the zodiac signs of Aquarius and Pisces, encompassing the last two phases of Dhanishtha Nakshatra and the entirety of Shatabhisha, Purva Bhadrapada, Uttara Bhadrapada, and Revati Nakshatras. According to astrological beliefs, the Moon's conjunction with these Nakshatras creates an energy field that can increase instability or negativity.
Therefore, Panchak is a time when auspicious events such as marriages, house warming ceremonies, and even major travel are avoided. Many consider it a time of sensitivity where certain actions can have long-term consequences. Especially in matters related to health, accidents, or loss of life.
