Today is Navami (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Ashwin — Shukravara, governed by Ardra. Navami is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 11:01 AM to 12:31 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:07 PM–12:55 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
