Today is Amavasya (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Margashirsh — Ravivara, governed by Anuradha. Amavasya is generally considered inauspicious for major new ventures. Rahu Kaal: 4:44 PM to 6:06 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:14 PM–12:58 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is અમાસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
