Why this score
16 May 1978 scores 25/100 for Annaprashan — the Panchang reads as unfavourable for annaprashan ceremony. On this Tuesday, the lunar day is Navami (Shukla Paksha), the Nakshatra is Magha, Yoga is Vyaghata, and Karana is Balava. Together these elements shape whether tradition would green-light annaprashan ceremony right now.
Supporting signals: Supportive lunar phase (Balava); Waxing moon period (Shukla Paksha). Friction points: Unfavorable lunar day (Navami); Challenging energy period (Vyaghata yoga). Rahu Kaal runs 3:00 PM–4:30 PM; most families avoid signing or finalising during that window. Abhijit Muhurat (11:36 AM–12:24 PM) is the most commonly used “safe” slot if you must proceed today.
If you can wait, the next stronger window is 17 May 1978 (score 87/100, Excellent). A common pattern: prepare paperwork on a Neutral/Avoid day, then close on a Good or Excellent date.
