Why this score
16 May 1940 scores 36/100 for Begin Construction — the Panchang reads as unfavourable for beginning construction. On this Thursday, the lunar day is Navami (Shukla Paksha), the Nakshatra is Purva Phalguni, Yoga is Vyaghata, and Karana is Kaulava. Together these elements shape whether tradition would green-light beginning construction right now.
Supporting signals: Favorable day of the week; Supportive lunar phase (Kaulava). Friction points: Unfavorable lunar day (Navami); Challenging energy period (Vyaghata yoga). Rahu Kaal runs 1:30 PM–3:00 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 17 May 1940 (score 97/100, Excellent). A common pattern: prepare paperwork on a Neutral/Avoid day, then close on a Good or Excellent date.
