Today is Navami (Shukla Paksha) in the month of Ashwin — Budhavara, governed by Purva Ashadha. Navami is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 12:32 PM to 2:02 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:08 PM–12:56 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
