Today is Saptami (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Ashwin — Somavara, governed by Ardra. Saptami is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 8:17 AM to 9:45 AM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:17 PM–1:04 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
