Today is Navami (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Kartik — Shanivara, governed by Magha. Navami is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 9:37 AM to 11:01 AM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:02 PM–12:46 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
