Today is Amavasya (Krishna Paksha) in the month of આસો — Shanivara, governed by Hasta. Amavasya is generally considered inauspicious for major new ventures. Rahu Kaal: 9:28 AM to 10:57 AM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:02 PM–12:49 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is દિવાળી — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
