Why this score
17 May 2026 scores 55/100 for Marriage — the Panchang reads as mixed for marriage. On this Sunday, the lunar day is Pratipada (Shukla Paksha), the Nakshatra is Krittika, Yoga is Shobhana, and Karana is Kimstughna. Together these elements shape whether tradition would green-light marriage right now.
Supporting signals: Positive energy alignment (Shobhana yoga); Waxing moon period (Shukla Paksha). Friction points: Challenging lunar phase (Kimstughna). 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 18 May 2026 (score 100/100, Excellent). A common pattern: prepare paperwork on a Neutral/Avoid day, then close on a Good or Excellent date.
