Today is Saptami (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Ashwin — Shanivara, governed by Ardra. Saptami is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 9:40 AM to 11:10 AM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:15 PM–1:03 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
