Monday's Guidance
What monday asks of you.
The new Moon is traditionally a day set aside — for ancestors, for rest, and for inward work. It is not a day to force a beginning; it is a good one to decide quietly what the next fortnight should hold.

BEYOND TODAY
Need something more personal?
Daily timing is the same for everyone in Lucknow. Your chart, your situation and your family's practice are not.
Timings are calculated for Lucknow (Asia/Kolkata) using the Lahiri ayanamsa and the amanta calendar. Regional traditions may observe some dates differently — for a muhurta that matters, ask a practitioner to confirm it for you.
