Reading the day
- Wednesday · Mercury’s day
- Favours commerce, accounts, writing, learning, and negotiation.
- Shatabhisha · Chara (movable) star
- The Moon’s star suits travel, vehicles, and any work that depends on movement.
- Jaya (victory) tithi
- A tithi for contest — competition, litigation, and assertive starts.
- Disha Shool sits in the north — travellers traditionally avoid beginning a journey toward the north today.
