When do the classical rules leave a window open?

Pew put it at 83% of Indians fixing important dates by auspicious timing — nearly double the 44% who say they believe in astrology. This is that question, answered the way the texts answer it: a list of named rules, not a score.

Six weeks at a time, because muhurta is restrictive by construction and a fortnight often has nothing open. The windows are local to the place you name, since every one of them is measured from its sunrise.

Anything auspicious · Delhi, India

19 open days in the next 45

With no particular undertaking named, only the exclusions apply: the fierce and sharp nakshatras, the empty tithis, Bhadra, the three avoided yogas and the three daily windows.

How this was worked out. Windows the classical rules leave open, not a score. Each one is a span the tradition names as favourable, with the three avoided daily windows cut out of it, on a day no day-level rule excludes. Nothing here is weighted or ranked.

A general muhurta is weaker than one chosen for a named act.

Worth saying plainly

What this does not do

  • It does not score a day. There is no percentage, no star rating and no “best time”. The classical literature gives factors and no weighting of them; any weighting is somebody’s opinion dressed as arithmetic. Every window here says which rule named it, and every excluded day says which rule excluded it.
  • Not covered. Marriage. It needs both charts, the Ashtakoot reading and Mangal dosha on each side before a date means anything, and half of a marriage muhurta is worse than none.
  • Not covered. Anything medical, legal or financial. A date is not a second opinion.
  • Not covered. Your own chart. Classical practice checks a muhurta against the birth Moon as well as against the day, and that needs a birth time.

Against your own chart

Classical practice checks a muhurta against the birth Moon as well as against the day. That needs your birth time, and it is what the rest of this site computes.
