Muhurta (electional timing)

Muhurta (electional timing)

Muhurta chooses auspicious moments to start actions—marriage, business, travel, medical procedures—by stacking panchang-detail quality, weekday lord, Moon nakshatras, and natal considerations.

Principles (high level):

  • Prefer benefic grahas hour lords and strong Moon (not afflicted, right mansion).
  • Avoid void-of-course Moon analogs and malefic nakshatras for delicate starts.
  • Align with couple's charts in compatibility for weddings.

Muhurta does not override a difficult natal chart but reduces friction at the starting gate. Requires local sunrise for day boundaries.
