Today is Saptami (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Kartik — Shukravara, governed by Punarvasu. Saptami is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 11:06 AM to 12:33 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:10 PM–12:56 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
