Check this in your own chart — the full Vedic kundli is free, with no sign-up.
Generate your free Kundli →Daily Panchanga-Shuddhi + general activity guidance (CONVENTION): the activity suitability is the nakshatra-nature → act mapping (Muhurta Chintamani), gated by the day-limbs — general electional guidance, not a directive, and medical/surgical timing is deliberately excluded. Nakshatra-nature is the dominant 27-fold scheme; only Rikta tithis are flagged; the verdict weighting is one transparent pinned rule — always read the contributing factors, and consult a full muhurta table for a specific act.
Computed with the Lahiri ayanamsa (sidereal). Panchang values are anchored at the local sunrise. How we compute →
