Why this score
16 May 2021 scores 8/100 for Marriage — the Panchang reads as unfavourable for marriage. On this Sunday, the lunar day is Chaturthi (Shukla Paksha), the Nakshatra is Ardra, Yoga is Shoola, and Karana is Vishti. Together these elements shape whether tradition would green-light marriage right now.
Supporting signals: Waxing moon period (Shukla Paksha). Friction points: Unfavorable lunar day (Chaturthi); Challenging nakshatra (Ardra). 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 17 May 2021 (score 72/100, Good). A common pattern: prepare paperwork on a Neutral/Avoid day, then close on a Good or Excellent date.
