An easy-does-it day
Reading the day
- Friday · Venus’s day
- Favours the arts and music, romance and marriage, jewellery, clothing, and comforts.
- Uttara Bhadrapada · Dhruva (fixed) star
- The Moon’s star suits laying foundations, building, planting, and beginnings meant to endure.
- Rikta (empty) tithi
- Auspicious beginnings are set aside; suited instead to clearing debts and removing obstacles.
- Rikta tithi — defer launching new auspicious work; a good day for clearing debts and obstacles.
- The Vyatipata yoga runs today — its whole span is classically avoided for auspicious beginnings.
- Disha Shool sits in the west — travellers traditionally avoid beginning a journey toward the west today.
