Today is Amavasya (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Ashadh — Budhavara, governed by Mrigashirsha. Amavasya is generally considered inauspicious for major new ventures. Rahu Kaal: 12:43 PM to 2:24 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:16 PM–1:10 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is અમાસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
