Today is Amavasya (Krishna Paksha) in the month of અષાઢ — Budhavara, governed by Mrigashirsha. Amavasya is generally considered inauspicious for major new ventures. Rahu Kaal: 12:57 PM to 2:38 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:30 PM–1:24 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is અમાસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
