An easy-does-it day

The day at a glance

Reading the day

Purna (full) tithi falling on Thursday forms a Siddha yoga — an auspicious alignment of day and tithi.

Thursday · Jupiter’s day — the most auspicious of the week
Favours ceremonies and religious acts, marriage, beginning education, and matters of finance.
Pushya · Kshipra (swift) star
The Moon’s star suits opening shops, trade, crafts, starting studies, ornaments, and healing.
Purna (full) tithi
A tithi of completion — ceremonies, fulfilment, and all auspicious work.
  • The Ganda yoga is counted inauspicious in its opening portion only; the rest of its span is usable.
  • Disha Shool sits in the south — travellers traditionally avoid beginning a journey toward the south today.

Classical muhurta guidance for the day, calculated without AI. It is general guidance, not a substitute for an elected muhurat.
