Muhurta finder: When should I begin?
Say what it is for, and where and when. We find the next good window.
What a muhurta weighs
A good time is judged on the five Panchang limbs together, never one alone.
Tithi
Keep clear of Rikta (4, 9 and 14) and Amavasya for beginnings, unless tradition prescribes otherwise.
Vara
The weekday lord should suit the work: Thursday for learning, Friday for marriage.
Nakshatra
Fixed stars such as Rohini and Uttara Phalguni give stability, and swift stars such as Hasta and Ashwini give speed.
Yoga
Siddha and Brahma yogas are generally favoured, while Vyatipata and Vaidhriti are avoided.
Karana
Bava and Balava suit auspicious starts. Vishti, also called Bhadra, is classically inauspicious.
