Buying land for a house, house or farm is a big and emotional decision in every person’s life. It involves a lifetime’s hard-earned money, hence everyone wants that the property taken should always be fruitful and bring happiness, peace and prosperity to the family. In Sanatan tradition and Vedic astrology, auspicious time, Vaar (day), Tithi and Nakshatras have been given special importance for any real estate deal, earnest money (token money) and registry. According to the scriptures, just as some days are extremely auspicious and auspicious for purchasing land, similarly there are certain days, dates and combinations in which making a land deal can lead to legal disputes, debt, obstruction in construction or family discord.
In astrology, the planet Mars is considered to be the direct factor for land, while the factors for building and happiness and prosperity are Venus and Jupiter. Whenever it comes to purchasing or registering land, it is advisable to avoid certain mistakes:
-
Tuesday: Although Mars is the lord of land, Tuesday is considered taboo for purchasing or registering land. It is believed that the debt burden on the land purchased on Tuesday may increase or there may be a situation of litigation and dispute regarding that property. (Although if you have to sell land, Tuesday is considered auspicious).
-
Saturday: Saturday is the day of Shanidev, who is the symbol of air element and detachment. According to astrology, registration of a general residential plot on Saturday causes immense delay in the construction work and the work may get stuck for years. If the land is disputed or sub judice, Saturday’s deal could turn into a lengthy lawsuit.
-
Sunday: Sunday is the day of Sun God. It is best for administrative and government work, but is considered moderate or avoidable in deals related to buying and selling of private land and house construction.
On the contrary, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are considered to be the most favorable and fruitful days for land purchase and registry.
Apart from Vaar, dates of Panchang also have a deep impact. In astrology, some dates have been called ‘Rikta Tithi’, which means ‘being empty handed’. You should avoid making any auspicious or permanent investment on these dates:
-
Rikta Dates (Chaturthi, Navami and Chaturdashi): The 4th, 9th and 14th tithi of both the pakshas (Shukla and Krishna) of any month are called Rikta Tithi. Making a land deal on these dates carries the highest risk of wasting money and breaking the agreement.
-
Amavasya: The date of Amavasya is good for ancestors and charity, but it is considered completely inauspicious for land registry, giving token money or signing contracts.
-
Bhadra: Whenever there is shadow of Bhadra in the Panchang, one should not do any kind of auspicious or immovable property deal. The registries done during the Bhadra period often get embroiled in legal disputes.
-
Rahukaal and Yamgand: Rahukaal lasts for about 90 minutes in the 24 hours of the day. Whenever you go for registration, definitely check the local Rahukaal time of that day and neither transact money nor sign documents during that time period.
There are 27 constellations in the constellation cycle, out of which some constellations are considered fierce and sharp. The following constellations should be avoided in the context of land purchase:
-
Bharani and Krittika Nakshatra: These are the constellations related to the fire element and Yama. In these, there is a fear of accident or disturbance on the land after purchasing the land.
-
Ardra, Ashlesha and Jyestha Nakshatra: These are considered sharp stars. In these, entering into a land contract may lead to bitterness from neighbors or sellers in the future.
-
Moola Nakshatra: One should avoid making big financial investments even during the influence of Gandmool Nakshatras.
Mrigashira, Punarvasu, Magha, Vishakha, Anuradha, Uttara Phalguni, Uttarashadha, Uttarbhadrapada and Rohini Nakshatra are considered best for purchasing land.
Registration of land or house is also prohibited during certain periods of the year:
-
Kharmas (Sagittarius and Pisces Sankranti): When Sun God enters Jupiter’s zodiac sign Sagittarius or Pisces (approximately 15 December to 14 January and 14 March to 14 April), it is called Kharmas. During this period, land registration or house entry is prohibited.
-
Pitru Paksha (Shraddha Paksha): The 16 days from Bhadrapada Purnima to Ashwin Amavasya are dedicated to offering prayers and remembering ancestors. Buying a new plot, flat or land during this period is considered prohibited because this is not the time for expansion of material comforts but for spiritual peace.
-
Devshayan in Chaturmas: New Bhoomi Pujan or foundation digging should be avoided between Devshayani Ekadashi and Devuthani Ekadashi, however the registry can be done by observing the normal auspicious time.
Along with following the astrological rules, it is equally important that the buyer thoroughly scrutinizes the legal and revenue documents of the land. Make sure to get Khasra-Khatauni of the land, 30 years Non-Encumbrance Certificate, layout approval from the development authority (like LDA, DDA, HUDA etc.) and verification of the seller’s ownership rights from a qualified advocate. When strong legal scrutiny is combined with the blessings of auspicious planets and stars, the purchased land becomes the basis of happiness, prosperity and prosperity for generations.
