Today is Dwitiya (Shukla Paksha) in the month of Ashwin — Somavara, governed by Swati. Dwitiya is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 8:08 AM to 9:36 AM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:09 PM–12:56 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
