It's Pratipada of Shukla Paksha, in the month of Falgun. Today falls on a Shanivara, traditionally ruled by Saturn, with the Moon resting in Shatabhisha nakshatra. Pratipada is considered an auspicious tithi, so it's a good day for new beginnings, ceremonies, or important decisions. Between 9:54 AM and 11:22 AM, Rahu Kaal will be in effect; elders advise against starting anything new during this window. The most auspicious moment of the day is Abhijit Muhurta, from 12:25 PM to 1:12 PM — a good slot for anything important.
