Guru Purnima 2027: Date, Tithi Time and the Jupiter Connection
Quick answer: Guru Purnima 2027 is on Sunday 18 July 2027. The Ashadha Purnima tithi runs from 17 Jul 2027 18:50 to 18 Jul 2027 21:16, so it holds through sunrise and the whole day of the 18th. It is Vyasa Purnima — the day for the teacher, the guru and, in astrology, Brihaspati.

How it is kept
Students offer to their teachers; ashrams hold Vyasa Puja; the monsoon Chaturmas of the sannyasis begins. Many keep a fast until the Moon rises and read a chapter of the Gita or the guru's text.
Jupiter and your chart
Guru is Brihaspati, and Guru Purnima is the day to strengthen Jupiter: the 9th house, wisdom, children, dharma. A weak, retrograde or combust Jupiter in the chart answers to this day's daan of yellow things, turmeric and gram, and to honouring a teacher. The Jupiter page explains its signs and dashas; your Jupiter's position is in the free kundli.
