Today is Amavasya (Krishna Paksha) in the month of આસો — Shanivara, governed by Hasta. Amavasya is generally considered inauspicious for major new ventures. Rahu Kaal: 9:24 AM to 10:52 AM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (11:56 AM–12:43 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is દિવાળી — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
