Today is Shukla Navami of Bhadrapada, holding until 07:24 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 moon is in Mula, down to the root — investigation that does not stop at the surface until 03:13 PM. Rahu kalam is 10:12 AM–11:43 AM.
The day runs from 07:08 AM to 07:22 PM, 12h 13m of daylight, the yoga is Saubhagya and the karana Balava, the moon stands in Kanya. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 12:51 PM and 01:40 PM. All of these are computed for Houston; 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.
