Why this score
16 Dec 2018 scores 46/100 for Marriage — the Panchang reads as mixed for marriage. On this Sunday, the lunar day is Ashtami (Shukla Paksha), the Nakshatra is Uttara Bhadrapada, Yoga is Vyatipata, and Karana is Bava. Together these elements shape whether tradition would green-light marriage right now.
Supporting signals: Auspicious nakshatra (Uttara Bhadrapada); Supportive lunar phase (Bava). Friction points: Unfavorable lunar day (Ashtami); Challenging energy period (Vyatipata yoga). Rahu Kaal runs 4:30 PM–6:00 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 22 Dec 2018 (score 84/100, Excellent). A common pattern: prepare paperwork on a Neutral/Avoid day, then close on a Good or Excellent date.
