What Muhurta Means for You
Muhurta (मुहूर्त) is electional astrology the art of choosing the optimal moment to begin an important activity.

| Lagna | Muhurta Lagna strong and unafflicted |
How to Choose a Muhurta
For any major event, start with the Panchanga: identify Tithis and Nakshatras that are auspicious for the specific activity. Then choose a Lagna (rising sign) that strengthens the event's house for marriage, pick a Muhurta with the 7th house strong and Venus in a good position; for a job start, favor the 10th house. Avoid the Lagna lord in the 8th house. Cross-reference with the personal birth chart the Muhurta should not activate difficult natal placements.
