Today is Krishna Chaturdasi of Pushya, holding until 12:07 AM. It is a rikta — "empty" — tithi, one of the three each fortnight that are traditionally set aside for weddings, housewarmings and new ventures.
That does not make it a bad day. Rikta tithis suit exactly what their name suggests: clearing, concluding, settling debts, medical treatment, and finishing what is already under way. The waning chaturdashi is also Masik Shivaratri, kept with a night vigil. The moon is in Mula, down to the root — investigation that does not stop at the surface until 08:13 AM. Rahu kalam is 09:54 AM–11:15 AM.
The day runs from 07:10 AM to 06:04 PM, 10h 53m of daylight, the yoga is Vyaghata and the karana Vishti, the moon stands in Makara. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 12:15 PM and 12:59 PM. All of these are computed for India (IST); change the city in the header and they move with it.
Timings are computed astronomically for the selected city and cross-referenced against the traditional panchangams in common use. Regional practice can differ by a day — please confirm important dates with the panchangam your family follows.
