Today is Amavasya (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Jyeshtha — Shanivara, governed by Bharani. Amavasya is generally considered inauspicious for major new ventures. Rahu Kaal: 9:15 AM to 10:54 AM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:06 PM–12:59 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is અમાસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
