Why this score
18 May 2032 scores 25/100 for Open Shop — the Panchang reads as unfavourable for opening a shop. On this Tuesday, the lunar day is Navami (Shukla Paksha), the Nakshatra is Magha, Yoga is Vyaghata, and Karana is Balava. Together these elements shape whether tradition would green-light opening a shop right now.
Supporting signals: Supportive lunar phase (Balava); Waxing moon period (Shukla Paksha). Friction points: Unfavorable lunar day (Navami); Challenging energy period (Vyaghata yoga). Rahu Kaal runs 3:00 PM–4:30 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 20 May 2032 (score 72/100, Good). A common pattern: prepare paperwork on a Neutral/Avoid day, then close on a Good or Excellent date.
