Bazaar Panchang
Share-market astrology, the honest way — tradition, the timing of your own rituals, and published truth. Never predictions, never advice.
No special muhurat today — see the next favourable date below.
Next favourable date: Thursday, 01 October (in 5 days)
This is the muhurat of your own step, not a market signal — markets can move sharply either way on any day.
When is a good day to start a SIP or make a first investment?
The classical, legitimate use of Jyotish in money matters is the timing of your own actions — starting a SIP, opening a demat account, a first long-term purchase, gold on an auspicious day. Dates below pass the traditional screen (shubh-vyapar nakshatra, non-rikta tithi, not Amavasya):
| Date | Nakshatra | Tithi |
|---|---|---|
| Thu, 01 Oct 2026 | Rohini | Krishna Panchami |
| Mon, 05 Oct 2026 | Pushya | Krishna Dashami |
Muhurat blesses the beginning of a considered step. It is not a reason to invest, and it never overrides financial judgement.
Can astrology actually predict the market? The honest backtest, published in full
We tested the classical signals against 4065 real NIFTY 50 trading days (2007-09-18 to 2024-04-22). Baseline: the market closes green 53.2% of days. Here is exactly what the panchang signals did:
| Signal | Days | Green % | Avg daily move |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mercury retrograde | 790 | 52.7% | 0.047% |
| Mercury direct | 3275 | 53.4% | 0.049% |
| Mercury combust (<12 deg) | 1474 | 53.9% | 0.076% |
| Purnima / Amavasya | 249 | 55.0% | 0.068% |
| Rikta tithis (4/9/14) | 794 | 53.9% | 0.057% |
| Shubh-vyapar nakshatra | 598 | 53.7% | 0.073% |
| Other nakshatras | 3467 | 53.2% | 0.044% |
On 50 random past days, the traditional bias matched the actual close 13/24 times (54.2%) on signal-carrying days — about what a coin gives. Conclusion: no classical signal moves the market beyond noise. That is why this page gives no price calls — and why you should be wary of anyone who does. Our numbers are 100% transparent and 100% verifiable; honesty is the only claim we make.
This table is a statistical study of a folk belief — it is not a performance record of any strategy, service or person. In line with SEBI's investor-education framework, this page never displays live or recent market prices; the study uses index history ending April 2024, far beyond the mandated three-month lag.
Every day's panchang here is computed before market open and committed to a public, timestamped record — nothing is written after the fact.
What can your own chart show that this page cannot?
This page is the common panchang — the same sky for everyone. What it cannot show is your picture: the dhan bhava (2nd and 11th houses), the dasha periods, and the windows in your own kundli that are favourable for beginning wealth-related steps. That reading is personal. In a consultation, Dr. R.P. Sharma studies your chart and gives you your own favourable periods — with the same honesty as this page: guidance and timing, never tips or guaranteed returns.

Common questions
Can astrology predict which way the stock market will move?
No, and this page's own published test proves it: across 4065 real NIFTY 50 trading days, the classical panchang signals matched the actual close no better than a coin flip. Anyone claiming to predict market direction from planetary positions is not supported by this data.
What is Nivesh Muhurat, and how is it different from a market prediction?
Nivesh Muhurat is a classical, auspicious window for beginning a financial action you had already decided to take — starting a SIP, opening a demat account, a first long-term purchase. It blesses the beginning of your own considered step; it says nothing about what the market will do that day.
Is Dr. R.P. Sharma SEBI-registered, and can he give investment advice?
No. Dr. R.P. Sharma and drrpsharma.com are not a SEBI-registered Research Analyst or Investment Adviser. Nothing here names a security, gives a buy or sell call, or suggests a price level or return. For financial decisions, consult a SEBI-registered investment adviser.
How was the 4,065-day backtest actually done?
Every trading day from 2007-09-18 to 2024-04-22 was tagged with its tithi, nakshatra and Mercury state (direct, retrograde or combust) and matched against NIFTY 50's actual daily close. The full method and numbers are published on this page — nothing is held back.
Why does this page avoid live or recent market prices?
In line with SEBI's investor-education framework, this page never displays live or recent market data — the backtest uses index history ending well beyond the mandated three-month lag. The purpose here is education about a classical belief, not market commentary.
Can my own kundli show better financial timing than this general panchang?
This page shows the same sky for everyone. Your own chart adds the 2nd and 11th houses (dhan bhava) and your running dasha — the periods classically read as favourable for your own wealth-related steps. That reading is personal and is covered in a consultation, with the same honesty as this page.
