Business Start Muhurat — Auspicious Venture Opening Dates
Budha's day + Budha's uncombust position + wealth-favourable tithi.
Starting a business, opening a shop, or launching a venture is classically treated similarly to any shubh karya — the day must align with tithi, nakshatra, weekday, and no-eclipse rules. Mercury (Budha) is the karaka of commerce and communication, so his day (Wednesday) is peak and his uncombust visibility is required.
Peak days: Wednesday (Mercury's day, +1 bonus), Thursday (Jupiter — wisdom in decisions), Friday (Venus — wealth), Sunday (Sun — authority) acceptable. Kharmas blocks new ventures (Sun in Sagittarius or Pisces = periods of turning inward, not launching). Abujha muhurats like Devuthani Ekadashi and Akshaya Tritiya are auto-excellent for business.
