Vidyarambh Muhurat — Auspicious Education-Starting Dates
Guru's day + Guru's uncombust position + soft nakshatras.
Vidyarambh (starting education / Aksharabhyasa) is one of the classical samskaras — the child's first formal introduction to letters and learning. Jupiter (Guru) is the karaka of knowledge, so this muhurat centres on Jupiter: his day (Thursday) is peak, his uncombust visibility is required, and Vasant Panchami (Saraswati puja day) is the annual universal Abujha muhurat.
Peak days: Thursday (Jupiter's day, +1 bonus in scoring), Wednesday (Mercury — intellect), Friday (Venus — arts). Soft nakshatras favoured. Chaturmas doesn't block Vidyarambh (education is ongoing), but Jupiter combustion does (karaka must be visible).
