Today is a superb day for opening a shop. The Panchang elements strongly support new retail ventures and commercial beginnings.
Why this score
17 May 2018 scores 87/100 for Open Shop — the Panchang reads as strongly favourable for opening a shop. On this Thursday, the lunar day is Dwitiya (Shukla Paksha), the Nakshatra is Rohini, Yoga is Sukarma, and Karana is Kaulava. Together these elements shape whether tradition would green-light opening a shop right now.
Supporting signals: Favorable lunar day (Dwitiya); Positive energy alignment (Sukarma 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.
Treat the score as a traditional filter, not a guarantee. Pair it with practical constraints — paperwork, travel, family availability — and use Abhijit Muhurat when the day is only middling.
