🕉️ Astrological Summary

Tithi:

The day begins with Chaturdashi and transitions to Purnima (full moon) in the evening — a phase considered potent for spiritual activities and worship of the moon and deities.

:

Mrigashirsha (associated with curiosity, learning, and gentle communication) leads much of the day, followed by Ardra at night (linked with transformation and emotional release).

Yoga & Karana:

Brahma yoga (from early afternoon) supports disciplined work, meditation, and considered decision‑making. Vishti Karana after evening should generally be approached cautiously for new beginnings.

🪔 Quick Tips for the Day

🌕 Evening Purnima: The full moon period (after ~6:53 PM) can be auspicious for meditation, moon prayers, and spiritual reflection.

🕉️ Auspicious windows around midday are good for starting important work, worship, or personal planning.

🚫 Avoid inauspicious Rahu, Gulika, and Yamaganda periods for vows, new beginnings, or major decisions.
