Today is Saptami (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Kartik — Shukravara, governed by Punarvasu. Saptami is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 10:56 AM to 12:22 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (11:59 AM–12:45 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
