Guru Tara Ast 2026
Jupiter combust — forbidden period for weddings and auspicious events
What is Guru Tara Ast?
When Jupiter comes very close to the Sun, its light (tara) gets hidden in the Sun's rays — called "Guru Ast" or "Tara Ast." During this period Jupiter's auspicious power weakens, which is why samskaras like marriage are traditionally forbidden.
