After the land has been selected the
owner should consult a learned astrologer
to find out and auspicious time (muhurat)
to start the construction of the house
which would bring him health, wealth,
prosperity and good fortune. A learned
astrologer should be consulted because
by doing so the construction work will
go on smoothly, there will be no hindrances
or problems, work will be completed soon
successfully. Often it has been observed
that if the work is started without caring
for the auspicious moment, the work has
to be stopped in between due to financial
difficulties or other problems and is
left incomplete. Not only financial loss,
it brings loss of mental peace also. Therefore
house construction work must be started
after full consideration for the work
to be successful and fruitful.
Generally construction of house, temple,
palaces (Raj Bhawan), city etc. should
not be stared or first entry (grah-pravesh)
should not be accomplished during the
period Ashadh Shukla to Kartik Shikla
, when gods are asleep (Dev Shayan).
Muhurat (auspicious times) for construction
of house or starting the work have been
given in the Panchangs. Astrologers have
expressed their own different views about
starting the construction work.
According to Vasturaj Vallabh, Leo constellation
(singhasth), Vyatipat, Vaidhriti, Dagdhtithi,
Guru 9Jupiter), Shukra (Venus) when set,
weak moon, Rikta tithi (4/9/14) are not
auspicious for starting house construction
work or any other good and auspicious
work. Some scholars are of the opinion
that if Jupiter or Venus are set (Tara)
it doesn't matter.
Give below are
the sun Sankranties during which if construction
work is started it gives varied results:
1. Sun in the Aries (Mesh) Rashi
14 April to 13 May-very good.
2. Sun
in the Taurus (Vrish) Rashi 14 May to
13 June-increase in wealth
3. Sun
is in Gemini (Mithun) Rashi 14 June to
13 July-Death
4. Sun
is in Cancer (Kark) Rashi 14 July to 13
August-very good
5. Sun
is in Leo (Singh) Rashi 14 August to 13
September - increase in number of servants.
6. Sun
is in Virgo (Kanya) Rashi 14 September
to 13 October -Diseases
7. Sun
is in Libra (Tula) Rashi 14 October to
13 November - Happiness/comforts
8. Sun
is in Scorpio (Vrishchik) Rashi 14 November
to 13 December - Increase in Wealth.
9. Sun
is in Saggitarius (Dhanu) Rashi 14 Dec.
to 13 January-loss
10. Sun
is in Capricorn (Makar) Rashi 14 Jan.
to 13 February-gain of wealth.
11. Sun
is in Aquarius (Kumbh) Rashi 14 Feb. to
13 March-gain of Jewels
12. Sun
is in Pisces (Meen) Rashi 14 March to
13 April-Fear.
Therefore the 3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th
i.e., Mithun (Gemini), Vigro (Kanya),
Saggitarius (Dhanu) and Pisces (Meen)
Rashies are not suitable and auspicious
for starting house construction, and the
work should not be started during the
period sun is in these Rashis.
Among the months,
Baisaakh, Shravan, Margshirsh Magh and
Falgun are good for the work. Bhadrapad
and Kartik are also normally permissible.
Construction work should be started on
the dates (tithis) 2,3,5,6,7,10,11,12,13,15
and the 1st of Krishna Paksha (dark fortnight).
Prohibited date
- Starting the construction work
on the dates 1,4,8,9,14 and 30 (Amavas)
brings Poverty, loss of wealth, loss of
money, death of wife, fear from the rulers.
Therefore work should not be started on
these dates.
Constellations
- The Nakshatras Rohini, Mrigshira,
Chitra, Hast, Swati, Anuradha, Uttarashdah,
Uttar Bhadrapad, Uttar Falguni, Dhanshtha,
Shatbhisha, Revati are good for starting
the house construction work.
Lagna - Aries,
Gemini, Leo, Virgo, Scorpio, Aquarius,
and Pisces Lagna, when it is not Panchban
and it is not the period of Bhoomi Shayan,
and there is some beneficial planet in
the centre and triangle positions, and
the eighth house is beneficial when there
are cruel planets in 3rd, 6th and 11th
houses; such periods are good for auspicious
starting of the construction work.
Bhoomi Shayan
- On the days of constellations
5/7/9/12/19/26 from the constellation
in which sun is situated the earth is
'sleeping' (Bhoomi Shayan) and on these
days also during the 4/8/5/3//6/7 Ghati
it is so; in remaining Ghatis it is not
Bhoomi Shayan.
Days -
Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and
Saturday are good days to start construction
work. On Sunday or Tuesday starting the
work should be avoided.
For starting
the house construction work, Vrish-vasta
calculation should be done. If the constellation
of the day counted from that of the sun
comes upto 7, it is inauspicious, next
11 it is god and next 10 are again inauspicious.
Abhijeet should also be included in counting.
7 In auspicious (unlucky) 11 Auspicious
(Lucky) 10 In auspicious (Unlucky) 28
constellations Result of the count from
constellation of the sun to that of the
Moon.
Vishisht Yoga (Special
combinations) have also been described
for the start of house construction. The
combination of seven Sakar (starting with
'S' Viz. Saturday, Swati nakshatra, Singh
(Leo) Lagna Shukla Paksha (Moonlit fortnight),
Seventh tithi, Shubh yoga and Shravan
month, is very good for starting the work
of a house. It will fetch to the owner
growth of all wealth and fortune along
with the gain of conveyance, wealth and
prosperity, sons and grandsons etc.
House construction is not allowed in
singh (Leo) Lagna, it should not be started
in this Lagna alone, but if the above
combination is there with Singh Lagna
starting of the work is auspicious. House
construction started in Shukla Paksha
brings happiness, while that in Krishna
Paksha it brings loss. Therefore it is
better to start the construction work
after well consideration of the Shukla
or Krishna Paksha.
