Favorable Time for Business and Undertakings

Vocabulary:

Nakshatras are the 27 lunar mansions, or regions of space, that the moon travels through throughout its cyclical, monthly orbit around the Earth. Each of the 27 nakshatras spans 13 degrees and 20 minutes of the zodiac.

Amavasya is New Moon night when the night is very dark.

Tithi is one day of the lunar month. Tithis begin at varying times of day and vary in duration approximately from 19 to 26 hours. Every day of a lunar month is called tithi.

Purnima is the Sanskrit word for full moon.

A lunar month consists of 28 days, 14 days of the waxing Moon and 14 days of the waning Moon, so the first lunar day means both waxing and waning unless it is additionally indicated that it is a waxing or waning moon.

Recommendations for general affairs

Tuesday and Saturday are not the most favorable days, because they are ruled by Mars and Saturn respectively.

Sunday is more favorable for spiritual matters than for material ones.

Hair cutting

Hair cut during the waxing Moon grows faster.

Do not cut your hair immediately after eating, because this disrupts the digestion process.

Shopping

Don’t buy something you don’t need just because it’s cheap.

Consider how much your purchase will make you happier.

Trips

Ancient texts recommend against traveling:

• to the east on Saturday and Monday;

• south on Thursday;

• west on Sunday and Friday;

• north on Wednesday and Tuesday.

Choosing a completely favorable day for travel can only be done by comparing it with the natal chart by contacting an astrologer.

TODAY’S TIP: Bhagavad Gita (Vedic Holy Scripture) says: “Success is determined by three things: concentration of mind, determined effort, and the will of God”. Therefore, out of three factors two are dependent on us, and one on God. Thus, choosing an auspicious time comes under “determined effort” and we then depend on God for the result.
