Gaadi kab lenge? Vehicle yoga in the Kundli and the best day to buy a car

A first car or bike is a big moment, and many families ask for a good day before they book delivery. The Kundli answers two separate questions. The first is when a vehicle comes into your life. The second is which day to take it home.

When a vehicle comes

Venus is the planet of vehicles and comfort. The 4th house and its lord show cars, and the 3rd house covers smaller rides like bikes and scooters. A vehicle usually arrives in the dasha or antardasha of Venus, the 4th lord, or a planet in the 4th house. Jupiter passing over or looking at the 4th house adds support. Mars and Saturn favour trucks, taxis and commercial vehicles.

Which day to take delivery

• Weekdays most often chosen: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
• Nakshatras considered good: Ashwini, Rohini, Mrigashira, Punarvasu, Pushya, Hasta, Chitra, Swati, Anuradha, Shravana, Dhanishta and Revati.
• Tithis usually avoided: the 4th, 9th and 14th, along with Amavasya.
• Avoid Rahu Kaal on the day. Take delivery before it starts or after it ends.
• A Thursday with Pushya nakshatra (Guru Pushya) is a popular choice. So is a Sunday with Pushya (Ravi Pushya).

Some astrologers also avoid buying while Venus is close to the Sun and hard to see. A local pandit can check this against the day’s panchang.

A good day does not replace a good decision. Test drive, check the finance terms and buy a vehicle that suits your budget.
