Why this score
18 Apr 2025 scores 35/100 for Annaprashan — the Panchang reads as unfavourable for annaprashan ceremony. On this Friday, the lunar day is Panchami (Krishna Paksha), the Nakshatra is Jyeshtha, Yoga is Parigha, and Karana is Taitila. Together these elements shape whether tradition would green-light annaprashan ceremony right now.
Supporting signals: Favorable day of the week; Supportive lunar phase (Taitila). Friction points: Challenging nakshatra (Jyeshtha); Challenging energy period (Parigha yoga). Rahu Kaal runs 10:30 AM–12:00 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 29 Apr 2025 (score 76/100, Good). A common pattern: prepare paperwork on a Neutral/Avoid day, then close on a Good or Excellent date.
