Today is Amavasya (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Margashirsh — Guruvara, governed by Vishakha. Amavasya is generally considered inauspicious for major new ventures. Rahu Kaal: 1:47 PM to 3:10 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:01 PM–12:46 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is અમાસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
