On Thursday, 20 February 2025, it is Saptami of Krishna Paksha, in the month of Maha. The day falls on a Guruvara, traditionally ruled by Jupiter, with the Moon resting in Vishakha nakshatra. Saptami is considered an auspicious tithi, so it is a favorable day for new beginnings, ceremonies, or important decisions.
Between 2:21 PM and 3:47 PM, Rahu Kaal is in effect; elders advise against starting anything new during this window. The most auspicious moment of the day is Abhijit Muhurta, from 12:31 PM to 1:17 PM, a good slot for anything important.
Seventh day: associated with Sun, good for long journeys
