Today is Navami (Shukla Paksha) in the month of Kartik — Guruvara, governed by Shravana. Navami is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 1:48 PM to 3:13 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (11:59 AM–12:45 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
