Shubh Muhurat for Griha Pravesh dates in 2023: Months and their significance

Months	Significance
Magh (January – February)	Brings wealth gains
Falgun (February – March)	Auspicious in terms of wealth and children
Baishak (April – May)	Boosts wealth and prosperity
Jeshtha (May-June)	Favorable in terms of cattle

If your house is a newly built house, your first entry is auspicious when the Sun is in the Uttarayan position. If the house is old or renovated, you can enter it when Jupiter (Guru) or Venus (Shukra) is setting. In this case, the star is not relevant.

Calculating the Griha Pravesh Muhurat

Vastu Shastra experts and astrologers consider many factors like the dates, day, Nakshatra, the position of the 9 planets, Lagna, auspicious yoga, Adhik mas or an extra month added to the calendar, etc., Bhadra, Rahu Kaal, etc. for calculating the Griha Pravesh Muhurat. Only when they consider all these factors, the Muhurat will bring good results for the native.

The best times for Griha Pravesh and housewarming should be calculated after performing the Panchang (Panchangam) Shuddhi. It is important to choose an auspicious time for the Griha Pravesh Pooja, Havan, and Vaastu Shanti Pooja. It is advisable to avoid the time of Shukra Tara Asta and Guru Tara, that is when the planets Venus and Jupiter are combusted. The Shubh Muhurats are considered when they stay for at least 4 hours. They are calculated from sunrise to sunrise.

Vaastu experts believe that the Griha Pravesh ceremony should be performed in a certain Lagna/Ascendant. The Shubh Muhurat is determined by looking at the Sun’s position from the person’s Janma Nakshatra (birth star). If the Sun is in the 5th or 9th house from the zodiac sign, the time may be inauspicious. But the 6th and 8th house from the native’s zodiac sign is very beneficial.

Choosing the Shubha Muhurat for Griha Pravesh involves many factors. If you are looking for a suitable Griha Pravesh Muhurat in 2023, consult a good astrologer or pandit who will be able to take all these factors into consideration and arrive at the best date.
