Today is Navami (Shukla Paksha) in the month of Kartik — Guruvara, governed by Shravana. Navami is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 1:49 PM to 3:14 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:00 PM–12:46 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
