Today is Amavasya (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Jyeshtha — Mangalavara, governed by Rohini. Amavasya is generally considered inauspicious for major new ventures. Rahu Kaal: 3:55 PM to 5:35 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:09 PM–1:03 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is અમાસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
