Daily Overview
- Lunar Phase: New Moon (Amavasya) — a time for new beginnings, inner cleansing and spiritual reflection.
- Nakshatra Influence: Dhanishta emphasizes discipline, rhythm and progress, while Shatabhisha later in the evening supports healing, insight and research.
- Rahu and Yama Gandam periods are considered less optimal for initiating big tasks, many Panchang traditions suggest focusing on internal work instead during these times.
Tip: With the Amritakalam and Abhijit Muhurtham occurring around late morning to midday, these windows are traditionally chosen for important activities, prayers or starting new initiatives.
