Auspicious Muhurat for taking Oath
Taking oath for a post is considered auspicious. Astrologers believe that this must be done on the auspicious Muhurat. It is important to understand the facts related to the assessments of astrology, to take the oath of office on the auspicious Muhurat.
Let us understand the auspicious Muhurat to take the oath in detail and learn how this Muhurat can be obtained. When an oath is being taken for an important government position it should be made sure that the Muhurat is auspicious so that the tenure of position is successfully completed.
Analysis of Nakshatra
The position of Nakshatra is considered to assess auspicious Muhurat. It is auspicious if Laghu Nakshatra i.e. Ashvani, Hasta, Abhijeet and friend Nakshatra such as Margashira, Revati, Chitra, Anuradha and stable Nakshatras such as Uttarphalguni, Uttara Bhadrapada, Uttara Shada, Rohini, Jyeshta, and Shravana are present on the eve of taking the oath.
Analysis on Day
Along with the Nakshatra, the day of taking an oath is also considered. Taking oath on Sunday, Thursday and Friday are considered auspicious. According to the principles of Astrology, if you take an oath on the above mentioned days, and in the presence of the above-mentioned Nakshatra, then it will be auspicious for you.
Analysis of the Date of Taking Oath
While analyzing the auspicious Muhurat, the date should also be assessed. Rikhta Tithi such as the fourth, ninth and fourteenth are considered inauspicious for taking the oath. Therefore, you should not take oath on these dates.
You can be sworn in on any date except the dates of Rikhta Tithi, but assessment on Nakshatra and days is important in this concern. The Dwitiya and Dashami Tithis are the best for oath taking ceremony.
Karana
Vishti Karana or Bhadra should be avoided for oath taking ceremony. These are inauspicious And should be avoided.
Analysis of Ascendant
For the assessment of auspicious Muhurat Nakashtra, day, Tithi, as well as the Ascendant, is to be considered. Astrologers believe that the Ascendants of Shirshoday signs such as Gemini, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, and Aquarius are auspicious. If the auspicious planet is located in the first, fourth, seventh, ninth and tenth house and the malefic planets are located in the third, sixth and eleventh house in the Muhurat Ascendant, then it will be an auspicious Muhurat for taking the oath.There should not be any planet placed in the eighth house. Kendra and Trikon should be free of malefic planets.
Paksha :
As per Kalaprakasika choosing the brighter half of Lunar month and a day bereft of adverse qualities should be preferred.
Caution :
If on the eve of taking the oath, Moon transits through the fourth, eight and twelfth sign from the birth sign, then the person should consider postponing the oath. If there is any Yoga created, whether Tara Dosha or Bhadra, then one should not take oath on that day. The position of Moon in the sixth, eighth and twelfth house of Muhurta Ascendant is not favorable for the stability of the king. Hence, in the presence of these planetary positions, one should not take the oath.
