Source: v71 (Graha Pravesh muhurta selection and analysis)
Chart type: Muhurta (elected chart for house entry)
Event date: January 11, 2011, approximately 10:18 AM
Location: Nashua, New Hampshire, USA

Context

A student asked PVR to select or evaluate a muhurta for entering a new home. This chart demonstrates the full muhurta selection methodology for Graha Pravesh (first entry into a new permanent residence).

Chart Data

Date: January 11, 2011
Time: ~10:18 AM (elected)
Place: Nashua, NH, USA
Lagna: Pisces (Meena)

Key Planetary Placements

Lagna: Pisces — a dual sign (indicates medium-duration stay)
Lagna lord Jupiter: In Pisces (own sign, in lagna) — extremely strong; Jupiter in own sign in the ascendant provides maximum protection and blessing to the new home
Moon: In Pisces (lagna) with Jupiter — auspicious; Moon well-placed in benefic company
Mars: Exalted in Capricorn (11th house) — Mars exalted in the 11th = fulfillment of desires, gains; also strong and well-disposed
4th lord Mercury: In Sagittarius (10th house) aspecting the 4th house — 4th lord in 10th aspecting back to 4th = the house gets power and visibility (the 4th is activated by its own lord)
9th house (dharma): Emphasized — muhurta chosen with intent to strengthen dharma; Scorpio in 9th
Moon's nakshatra: In an auspicious nakshatra relative to the family's Janma nakshatra (tara calculation confirmed favorable)
Navamsa lagna: Jupiter in Navamsa lagna = "Sri Rama Raksha" — the strongest possible blessing for home protection

Key Teaching Points

Jupiter in own sign in lagna is the most powerful indicator of a protected, blessed home environment. When Jupiter is in Pisces (own sign) in the first house of the muhurta chart, it is as if Jupiter himself is standing at the front door blessing the family as they enter.
4th lord in 10th, aspecting 4th — this is an ideal yoga for Graha Pravesh: the 4th house (the house itself) is receiving the gaze of its own lord from the powerful 10th house position. The house is "seen" and "owned" by its lord.
Mars exalted in 11th — exalted Mars in the house of gains ensures that the home brings prosperity, fulfillment of aspirations, and protects from enemies (Mars as strength in a house of acquisition).
Dual lagna (Pisces) — the family is expected to stay for a medium period (not as long as a fixed sign lagna would indicate, not as short as a movable sign lagna).
Moon in lagna with Jupiter — this is Gajakesari yoga formed in the muhurta chart itself; the home will bring recognition and support to the family.
Navamsa protection — Jupiter in the Navamsa lagna of the muhurta chart ("Sri Rama Raksha") adds a second layer of divine protection. This detail was specifically called out as significant.

Muhurta Quality Assessment

Strong: Lagna (Jupiter in own sign + Moon)
Strong: 4th house (lord in 10th aspecting back)
Strong: 11th house (Mars exalted)
Strong: Navamsa lagna (Jupiter)
Good: Moon nakshatra (tara calculation favorable)
Note: The date was January 2011, when Saturn was in Virgo (not in Pisces lagna or 4th house) — no major malefic pressure on the lagna

PVR's Assessment

PVR assessed this as a well-chosen muhurta with several layers of strength. The key anchors are Jupiter in own sign in lagna and the 4th lord completing a 4th-10th axis from the 10th house. This is a template example of a good Graha Pravesh chart.
