✍️ Author’s Note
This article presents a classical Jyotish–based Muhurta analysis of the Republic Day morning events on 26 January 2026, examined strictly through Muhurta Shastra, Panchānga (five limbs of time), Rashi–Navamsha correlations, Lunation triggers, and Prashna timing principles.
The objective of this study is academic and preventive, aimed at understanding how planetary configurations influence the sensitivity or stability of national events, especially those involving large public gatherings and symbolic state functions. The analysis does not speculate on outcomes, but highlights astrological stress indicators and the importance of administrative vigilance during such windows.

🔰 Context of Analysis
This article examines the Muhurta Chart for Republic Day, 26 January 2026, focusing on the morning commencement of events, beginning with the Prime Minister’s visit to the National War Memorial around 09:30 AM IST in New Delhi, and further extends the analysis to 10:30 AM IST (Parade commencement time).
The analysis is carried out strictly using:
-
Classical Muhurta principles
-
Panchānga (Five Limbs of the Day)
-
Rashi & Navamsha correlations
-
Lunation and Rahu affliction windows
🪐 Muhurta Rashi Chart — Core Structure
🔹 Lagna & Axis Dominance
-
Aquarius Lagna
-
Rahu in Lagna, placed in own Nakshatra
-
Ketu in the 7th house (Leo)
➡️ Strong Rahu–Ketu dominance over the 1/7 axis, indicating: -
Sudden disruptions
-
Threats to public order
-
External or hidden destabilising forces
🔹 Lagna Lord
-
Saturn (Lagna Lord) in 2nd house, in own Nakshatra
-
Provides some structural control, but unable to neutralise nodal affliction
🔹 Jupiter’s Weakness
-
Jupiter retrograde, fallen, and weak
-
Aspects Lagna from the 5th house
-
Only benefic influence, but:
-
Afflicted
-
Non-protective
-
Unable to counter malefics
-
⚠️ No benefic planet occupies a Kendra.
This is a critical Muhurta flaw.
📅 Panchānga (Five Limbs) Assessment
1️⃣ Vāra (Day)
-
Monday
-
Day Lord: Moon
2️⃣ Tithi
-
Śukla Ashtami
❌ Classically inauspicious for state ceremonies
3️⃣ Karaṇa
-
Viṣṭi (Bhadra)
❌ Highly inauspicious -
Lord: Saturn
-
Known for:
-
Accidents
-
Violence
-
Obstructions
-
4️⃣ Yoga
-
Śubha Yoga
✅ Only mildly supportive, but overpowered by other malefics
5️⃣ Nakshatra Dynamics (via Moon)
🌙 Moon — The Day Lord (Most Critical Factor)
-
Moon placed in Aries (3rd house)
-
Moon in Ketu’s Nakshatra
-
Ketu placed in 7th house (Leo)
➡️ This creates a Moon–Ketu feedback loop, indicating:
-
Internal threats
-
Covert operations
-
Nervous, reactive public environment
🔥 Planetary Cluster & Combustions (Major Red Flag)
In Capricorn the 12th house , we observe a volatile cluster:
-
Sun (7th Lord) – in the 12th house Espionage
-
Mars (3rd & 10th Lord) – Aggressive
-
Mercury (5th & 8th Lord) – Combusted
-
Venus (4th & 9th Lord) – Combusted & in planetary war with Mercury
❌ Mars, Venus, and Mercury are all combusted
❌ Venus–Mercury planetary war
❌ Mercury = 8th Lord involved → explosions, secrecy, sabotage
⚠️ Yama & Hidden Destruction Factor
-
Moon placed in Yama of Taurus
-
Yama Lord Venus:
-
Placed in 12th house
-
Conjoined 8th Lord Mercury
-
Both combust
-
Both involved in planetary war
-
➡️ This is identified as the most malefic component of the Muhurta, classically associated with:
-
Terrorism
-
Loss through hidden enemies
-
Mass panic if unchecked
🔺 Mars Significations — Terrorism Trigger
Mars connects directly or indirectly with:
-
3rd house (attacks, courage, weapons)
-
6th house (enemies)
-
7th house (public space)
-
12th house (loss, foreign elements)
-
8th Lord Mercury
➡️ This fulfils multiple classical terrorism indicators in Muhurta astrology.
🌑 Rahu Affliction & Lunation Trigger
-
Rahu badly afflicted from 21–27 January 2026 Prone to Terrorism
-
Rahu placed in Lagna of Muhurta
-
Supported by Lunation Chart of 19 January 2026
➡️ This confirms a high-risk window, especially for:
-
Symbolic national events
-
High-visibility public gatherings
🔹 Navamsha (D-9) Confirmation
-
Navamsha Lagna: Taurus
-
Navamsha Lord Venus:
-
Combusted
-
Lost planetary war in Rashi
-
With 8th Lord Mercury
-
-
Jupiter fallen
-
Saturn (Rashi Lagna Lord) goes to Leo Navamsha with Ketu
➡️ Navamsha fully confirms Rashi chart affliction
➡️ No improvement in inner strength of the Muhurta
🌞 Saving Grace (Critical but Limited)
-
Moon in own sign
-
Sun exalted
- Luminaries are Life Saving and Placed well is a big relief
⚖️ This is the only saving factor.
Classical rule:
If Sun and Moon are afflicted in Navamsha → loss of lives is indicated.
Here, they are not fatally afflicted, suggesting:
✅ Life-saving through strong security is a big factor and indicates nothing Fatal
❌ But not an auspicious or smooth Muhurta over all
⏱️ Timing of Possible Trigger (Prashna Logic)
-
Moon in 4th Navamsha
-
Moon’s time unit = 1 Ghati = 24 minutes
⏳ Calculation:
4 × 24 minutes = 96 minutes
= 1 hour 36 minutes
➡️ Critical window ends around 11:06 AM IST
After this:
-
Situation stabilises only due to security vigilance
-
Not due to Muhurta strength
⏰ Important Clarification: 10:30 AM Does NOT Improve the Muhurta
Even if we shift the commencement to 10:30 AM IST:
-
Lagna remains afflicted
-
Rahu dominance continues
-
Combustions & planetary war persist
-
Panchānga defects remain unchanged
➡️ No meaningful astrological improvement over 09:30 AM Muhurta
🔚 Final Jyotish Verdict
The Republic Day morning Muhurta of 26 January 2026 is fundamentally inauspicious and sensitive.
Any smooth conduct of events will be due to exceptionally strong security arrangements, not planetary support.
⚠️ DISCLAIMER
This article is a purely astrological and academic analysis based on classical Jyotish principles.
It does not intend to create fear or speculation.
Administrative preparedness and security forces remain the strongest protective factor.
