Today is Amavasya (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Jyeshtha — Shukravara, governed by Krittika. Amavasya is generally considered inauspicious for major new ventures. Rahu Kaal: 11:07 AM to 12:47 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:20 PM–1:14 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is અમાસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
