Days to start a new job in New Delhi to December 2027, from the Muhurta Chintamani's rule for entering service, verse 26 of its Nakshatra prakarana.
In shortThe next listed day for starting a new job in New Delhi is Wednesday 11 November 2026, 6:40 am to 11:38 am. After it: Sun 22 Nov, 11:29 pm to 2:37 am next day; Wed 25 Nov, 8:36 pm to 6:52 am next day. All 97 days are in the table below; for another city or other dates, use the muhurat finder.
The Muhurta Chintamani's rule for entering a master's service, verse 26 of its Nakshatra prakarana, asks for a quick or gentle nakshatra on a Sunday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. Leaving out a Rikta tithi, Amavasya, Vishti karana and the yogas Vyatipata and Vaidhriti, the table lists the days in New Delhi that meet it.
Starting a new job is the modern form of what the old texts call seva, entering the service of a master. The Muhurta Chintamani gives it verse 26 of its Nakshatra prakarana (chapter 2). This page reads that verse in plain words and lists the days in New Delhi on which it holds. Your joining date is usually set by the employer, so treat the list as a way to choose between dates you are offered, or the day you first report.
How it works
Verse numbers are those of the edition with Mahidhara Sharma’s Hindi commentary (Venkateshwar Press).
Nakshatra (verse 26). The quick (kshipra) group, Ashwini, Pushya and Hasta, and the friendly (maitra) group, which verse 7 of the same chapter names as the gentle group: Mrigashira, Revati, Chitra and Anuradha.
Weekday (verse 26). Wednesday, Friday, Sunday or Thursday.
The day. The verse names no tithi. From the general rule of chapter 1, verse 34 we apply, as for every event here: no Amavasya, no Vishti karana, no Vyatipata or Vaidhriti yoga, and not in a leaped month; the rest of that verse is named under What it does not do. We also leave out the Rikta tithis (Chaturthi, Navami, Chaturdashi), which Mahidhara Sharma, on chapter 1, verse 3, calls unsuitable for auspicious work.
Reading the result
Each listed day has a window of at least five minutes in which every condition holds, with the nakshatra and tithi shown. Offices keep working hours, so look at where the window falls within the day; a window after midnight belongs to the day before. If your joining date is fixed, you can still use a window that day, if there is one, for the first step you take yourself. For another city use the muhurat finder.
Where traditions differ
The verse calls the second group friendly (maitra) without listing it, and readers can take that word in more than one way; we follow verse 7 of the same chapter, which names the gentle group as friendly. If your family also chooses the hour by hora, the hora calculator shows the horas for any day and city; that is a separate custom, not part of this verse.
What it does not do
The verse also asks for a benefic rising sign with the Sun or Mars in the 10th or 11th house, and for friendship between the yonis and the rashi lords of the employee and the employer. Those depend on the hour and on the two people, and are for an astrologer. Nothing here predicts how the job will go, and nothing here is career advice. Chapter 1, verses 34 and 35 also name things every auspicious act avoids that this page does not check: the person’s own birth nakshatra, month and tithi and a parent’s shraddha day; a day touched by three tithis or a tithi that touches three days (tithi kshaya and vriddhi); kulika, the half-prahara and mahapata; and the opening part of the yogas Vishkambha, Vajra, Shoola, Ganda, Atiganda and Vyaghata and the first half of Parigha. An almanac that applies them may list fewer days. The lost (kshaya) month that verse 34 also names, a lunar month in which the Sun enters two signs between one new moon and the next (as Mahidhara Sharma explains it), is left out; from 1952 to 2073 there are two, beginning with the new moons of 16 November 1963 and 14 January 1983, Indian time.

↳ Which nakshatras are good for joining a new job?
By verse 26 of the Nakshatra prakarana: Ashwini, Pushya and Hasta, and Mrigashira, Revati, Chitra and Anuradha.
↳ Which weekdays does the rule accept?
Wednesday, Friday, Sunday and Thursday. Monday, Tuesday and Saturday are not named in the verse.
↳ My joining date is fixed. Does a missing date matter?
No. A date missing here only fails one of the verse's conditions. You can join on the date you are given and, if you wish, keep a listed window for a small first step of your own.
↳ Does the rule need my birth chart?
The table does not. The verse's further conditions, the lagna and the match between you and your employer, do, and those are for an astrologer.
↳ Can I get the days for my own city?
Yes. The muhurat finder runs the same rule for any place and dates.
